Westworld's 'The Well-Tempered Clavier' Is The Soul Of The Show

In the video above I talk about why Episode 9 of Westworld turned out to be one of my favorite episodes of the series so far, because of these fantastic performances. It really epitomizes why this series is so different from any other series, because these actors are so great and so fantastic. Yes, Westworld is very much based on that mystery, that wondering what will happen next, that plot twist, but not more so than the amazing performances that we're seeing from Jeffrey Wright playing Bernard, and Anthony Hopkins as Ford. Just watching these two actors go at it and perform and really wrestle with such internal conflict as they're thinking about what it means to be human, as they're thinking about the nature of reality and why things are important to us and how memory affects us and then steers us moving forward and sometimes holds us back. Watching Jeffrey Wright struggle with these concepts in the series has been remarkable, more so than any plot twists having to do with Bernard.
