The most significant contribution of The Mechanism of Eternity to the canon is its philosophical stance on immortality. The first film acted as a tragedy of a boy trying to become human; the sequel acts as a tragedy of a machine trying to die.
Jack realized that the only way to break the overwind was to introduce a wrong note—a beautiful, painful wrong note. He couldn’t kiss her (his last kiss had nearly killed her).
