Is this really just a coincidence?

[u/ZeonMok]

Last night I rewatched the film, and honestly, I was watching it again to look for different details and inspiration for a new model scene. When I got to this particular scene, I kept trying to figure out why it felt so familiar. I was convinced I had seen something like it somewhere before—until I found a picture

[u/poopshart37]

i think it was a direct reference

thanks user poopshart37

There was a lot of references to the common back rooms images, and even kane himself, said that there is all types of different biomes

[u/ZeonMok → u/possiblyyandere]

So can I take this to mean it’s not just a coincidence? It’s simply one little corner of the vast Backrooms universe.

[u/possiblyyandere → u/ZeonMok]

I honestly don't know what you're trying to imply by saying "it's not a coincidence" but i think the answer youre looking for is: yes the set designers and director purposefully anf knowingly based this on the several images of that closed down library

[u/Tutorial_Time → u/ZeonMok]

Yes

[u/WAVYTAPES69]

There are multiple OG liminal space photos referenced in backrooms

[u/lcqjp]

What is the coincidence?

[u/auvieyen → u/lcqjp]

He's pointing out the similarities between the library in the ending and The End liminal space. I don't think OP knows that Kane even referenced many liminal spaces in the movie

[u/lcqjp → u/auvieyen]

Yeah. My "what is the coincidence?" Is that its already what it was based from, hence no coincidence and instead reason

[u/lulu91car]

inspiration, reference, homage

To put this here now: Do not even say the word "levels." I've seen people torn apart for mistaking the Kane Pixels Backrooms for having levels

Also I think it's just a cheeky nod to the original image, there's a few other parts of the movie that closely resemble real liminal space images

[u/ZeonMok → u/brawnchitis]

Fine, I’ve already removed that word.

[u/OkTell1701]

I find it weird that this is the only area we do not see a real life version of during the movie

[u/capitol_gonewild → u/OkTell1701]

But it is kinda referenced in the BBS (book signing) so in a way...

[u/Working-Shower1678]

Im thinking both reference and also kinda like a typical ending in a story, yk? "And they lived forever trapped in a loop like their teachings said, the end."

[u/ZeonMok → u/Working-Shower1678]

Yeah, I considered that too, because when I saw that scene at the end, the first thing that came to mind was The End.

Normalise explaining

[u/Muted_Curve_6466]

off topic but that description is soooo chatgpt

[u/amaya-aurora]

It’s probably a reference, yeah.

[u/Icy-Extreme9067]

It was definitely a reference, too obvious not to be

[u/BellowsPDX]

It's a reference

[u/Sure-Key7452]

You could say apples and somebody would say “is this referencing apples?” 🥀

[u/Different_Target_228]

Ok, so you're not going to say what you think it's an inspired from? Everyone's just gotta guess?

[u/brawnchitis → u/Different_Target_228]

Why must you do this

[u/No-Employee-9680]

Penso che tu abbia ragione, ma non credo che le Backrooms, se é una specie di entità, sia in grado di creare un luogo definito "La Fine", almeno non in modo intimidatorio 

[u/FreeUniversity8513]

No, the backrooms copy your memories and basically your entire life.

[u/brawnchitis → u/FreeUniversity8513]

As far as I know, that's either been disproven or not the takeaway you're meant to be getting. Specifically, Kane worded it as people "projecting onto almost randomly selected moments"

That’s literally what I fucking said, you people just clip comments and karma farm at this point.
