re: San Junipero - is it Elysium or Gehenna? (SPOILERS)

quote:

---

It's a place that someone willingly and intentionally decides to go to enjoy their afterlife in peace and happiness

If San Junipero is a place where someone goes to experience eternal peace and happiness, why were Kelly and Yorkie not at peace in San Junipero?

Like I said in the OP, Yorkie experienced sexual confusion, lust, jealousy, longing, and anger. Kelly experienced all of those emotions and more because while in San Junipero she still remembered her actual life which means she also experienced immense grief and sadness which lead her to suicidal thoughts.

Heaven is not a place where someone would experience any of these emotions, let alone contemplate suicide.

There is absolutely zero peace or happiness in hell.

Many think Hell isn't fire and brimstone and lakes of fire. Many believe Hell is an eternal reminder of regret, grief, sadness, and confusion. Hell is when someone is locked in the prison of the human mind. Hell is the illusion of happiness with a constant undercurrent that something is amiss.
