GTA-King Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) yes I know this topic has been brought up before. I just wanted to share the article below & discuss it more. http://www.richardcassaro.com/tag/speak-no-evil Read that article and put the characters' faces to each wise monkey. Makes you wonder all the possibilities the story will offer doesn't it? -Trevor seeing no evil probably means he will be dealing with alot of his inner demons. -Michael hearing no evil probably means the stuff he has blocked out of his life (because of the WP program) is coming back -Franklin speaking no evil probably means he is eager to learn how to be a successful criminal. I don't know... I just think there's a deep meaning as to why R* chose to model them after the 3 Wise Monkeys. Discuss.

Deffpony Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hmm interesting. I think it's just a funny reference. They are three criminals who are depicting an artistic meaning for ignoring evil. Dude where the fuxk do u live. You are always up so goddamn late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rare.steak Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yeah. Have R* ever hinted "deep meanings" in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strakan7 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 i noticed, i wondered... nice bit of poly-psychology lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA-King Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 This was discovered the first day of trailer 2. Yes, and I feel like discussing it some more. I feel like R* could be giving us an easter egg on what to expect from the story. @deffpony: I live in Indiana. It's only 12:42am here. I work 2nd shift, so I'm usually up pretty late. However, we are currently in the middle of an ice storm so I doubt we will even go to work tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotusRIP Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 You're obviously no wise monkey. Or you have a life But yes, it was noticed on day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA-King Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 You're obviously no wise monkey. Or you have a life But yes, it was noticed on day 1. I don't understand this, lol. What are you implying? And yes, I'm quite aware this was noticed on day 1. Read the spoiler tags in the OP. @AdvanceTrak RSC : Thanks man. Will do!

Raynos Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 OP. I don't think its hinting at anything deep. Its just a comical reference. The 3 monkey reference is quite well known, thus Rockstar did it. Maybe they're saying that if you play as the protags, you can close your eyes, ignore everyone and keep quite whilst you enjoy the GTA that is the silence of loneliness. It is ofcourse the concept of being alone that drives us to do what we do, it is indeed the change and motivation that we all need. It is what makes life; Life. For it were not the loneliness, we would have no GTA. Loneliness IS GTA, Its time for change! Its time to break out! Its time to STOP the habit! Its time to play GTA.

Sorry man, I was on my phone before when I wrote this, so I didn't read the whole post properly. I can see what you're saying now. I think it's a very nice observation and insight into their personalities. I guess Trevor sees no evil, which could also explain why he's so reckless, because he has no moral compass and can't see the evil in his own actions. Or as you say, battling inner demons, which would be a more interesting depth to the storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivalavendredi Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I don't think it has a deeper meaning… it's just a funny reference to the three wise monkeys… but anyway: nice thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfox_ Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Old news f*ck sakes, OP I think you should write READ FIRST POST in big letters because people don't seem to get that you're talking about a hidden message within the 3 wise monkeys pose. And not just discovering it like a lot of people are assuming by the title of thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raynos Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Come on. You know it has something to do with a particular Gnome. lol.. Well, I didn't want to "expose" the gnome! Its rather obvious what the 3 protags had witnessed. One of the guys heard it and couldn't stand it, the sound of underwear being ripped off a man! The other protag saw it, oh the carnage! He just could not bare to see it any longer! The third, Well, Franklin Saw and Heard it all, He was quite the brave one but at the end, it made him want to puke. My Friends, on this beloved forum, You are all in for a wild ride when you discover what this Gnome is capable of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA-King Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I keep wondering what they are reacting to. It seems to be the same part in the trailer where Michael is introducing everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
