Serial Experiments Lain questions . . .?!


Question: Serial Experiments Lain questions !. !. !.!?
1) Why do they say "Present Day, Present Time" at the beginning of every episode!?

2) Why is the word "be" in different colors when it says "To be continued" at the end of each episode!?

3) Are Lain's family really her family!? Since her "Dad" said that he was just playing a role !.!.!. what about the rest of her family!?

4) What are the other versions of Lain~ are they how other people see her (you know how everyone has a different view of the same person, is it like that)!?

Really good series, just a little depressing~ so what do you think ^__^Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
1) to make you feel that this is happening right now, all arround you

2) because what it is to "be" is what is in question!?

3)I won't tell

I has been years since I watched this but I have seen it like 3 times, have you been paying attention to her fathers glasses and rather or not you can see his eyes!?

4) It's a secret
seriously, I don't want to ruin it!. If you finish the show and still want to know I will be happy to go into it deeper!.

Edit:
so sory!
I just checked MAL and you have finished!
OK
The other versions of her are because of the nature of what she "is"
I need to refresh myself quickly and I will return!

Edit:
OK, as far as her family goes, I was under the impression that they were a fabrication or that they were at least "planted"

As far as her 3 personalities, I thought that it was MPD as a result of the truama of her existance and her being unable to cope!.

I always was under the impression that reality was "layered" as the episode titles suggested!.

I needed to watch it, as I said, 3 times!
I realy like this series and what it says about the state of human lonlines in the age of the internet!.
(and the scenes w/ Lain and all the wires)

There is some really great reading about this on Wiki -> Lain -> themes!.
I am reading it now and rather than tell you here what it says I will send you there

I do feel that the alternate selves are something like that, that they are representitive of the multiple versions of us in the minds of others (ala Evangelion)
I belive that this is part of it but she did things and "was places" that she herself does not remember like when those girls "saw her" @ the club, this to me indidcates a form of MPD or disosiative disorder!.

Kudos to the answewer below for mentioning Be inc!.
like I said, it's been years, but yes I'm sure that has something to do with it!.

I think Lain is great for the exact reason of the way you feel right now!
I love anime that makes us think and feel!. Anime that keeps you up @ night!.
Watch it again
and again
you will notice more each time!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

1!. Present Day present Time:
Its a statement saying this isn't some 2056!. Or advance era!. This is Now!. You can't think all these things in Lain literally, they are just symbols!.

For eg!.
Cyberia Club -> Syberia -> cold -> loneliness
but Lain uses Cyberia as main source of communication:
In my interpretation i think it means despite the large web of connection, one is still lonely!.
Lain is the connection, she is connected to everyone yet she still feels lonely,
But Lain is happy when she is with her friend Alice!.

That goes for reality too: hence back to presentday,present time!. People on the net, though connected in many ways are lonely compared to Bob over there knowing one person in real life!.

It goes deeper into whole idea of relationship,communication!. and i think happiness is one of minor themes

2) Advertisement for company:
Be Inc (Be incorporated)
which is like the company related to series

3) Questionable topic
Are people simply playing the role!?
for eg, if i give birth to a son, i'm automatically play the role of a "ideal mother"


4) That's her alternate self: according to some she is suffering from Dissociative identity disorder!. Which is numerous personality existing upon one individual!.

Her good self
herself in the wired
her evil self

this is like symbol of our mind too
like sometimes people on the net act themself
lot of people i met act differently on the net, hence the wired personality
and the evil self, oh i don't have to explain this one!. I'm sure u seen plenty of this!.


Basically the series is Metaphors after metaphors accompanied by symbols!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
