Reading Eric Packer Through eXistenZ

Cronenber's Graphic Novel

Cronenberg's Film  eXistenZ

Eric Packer can be read through eXistenZ when he pops his head out of the roof of his limo and feels excited by the out of control demonstration. Each scene from then on begins to place him abruptly in another world in which he seems predestined to be in, in which he spontaneously responds or reacts, in which he has lost control. He feels exhilarated and free for the first time in his life. He is alive. He is playing the game!
