Orphan Black is obviously more sophisticated than "Clone" in dealing with such subjects, and it will also distaste the audience's appetite. However, many details still cannot get rid of the normality of European and American dramas, religion, rock, Frankenstein, Mission Impossible, handsome, and sex. . . . . .
Although the plot is slightly protracted and the scene transition is a bit blunt, all the shortcomings will be unconsciously ignored, the reason is: the heroine's invincible acting! ! !
Tatiana is undoubtedly beautiful and seductive in the eyes of Westerners, with perfect curves, firm skin, and faint Latin flavor. Whether it is sarah of punk rock, beth of ol route, Alison of desperate housewife, cosima of science bookworm, or the weird religious saint Helena.
Although each character has the same face, with the help of hair, clothing and makeup, Tatiana relies on superhuman acting skills to independently shape the cloned sheep. When watching "The Clone", you will occasionally be confused about who is who, but this kind of situation will never happen in Orphan Black.
One of the most tests of acting skills is that Alison replaces Sarah to visit her daughter, and Sarah replaces Alison to deal with the neighbor's housewife in her home. When the heroine transforms into another person, she also needs to bring a little bit of the original character's characteristics. The description alone is so complicated. Just imagine the difficulty of the actor's handling of the characters! !
Entering the seventh episode, the characters on the stage are gradually fixed, and the secrets of the cloned sheep are also known by more and more people. "Sheep" and "Shepherd" finally appeared.
The "Bible" compares people to a flock and God to a shepherd. In my opinion, this metaphor can be understood in two meanings in OB:
First of all, the Scientology (Olivier and Dr. Leekie) likened themselves to a shepherd leading the new development of mankind, so when Thomas instructed Helena to kill the other cloners, “only through sheep can we find a shepherd”
Another metaphor, After seeing Helena cut off Olivier’s tail, I understood a little bit. The religious sects (Helena and Thomas) found that Scientology had created n "clone sheep" and were very annoyed. Because Scientology violated God, Helena It is necessary to clean up all the "crazy things" done by the scientific schools, with a little sense that the shepherds want to weed out the "black sheep".
Although religion is involved, after all, the background is in the United States. The conflict between religion and science is definitely a selling point, but I don't like the contradiction that the plot is too deep. So far, human beings have been unable to find a suitable ethical label for clones, and this film will certainly not be able to give a clear answer at this level.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
Seeing the eighth episode, I Guess, Sarah should be the parent of other clones. There are several characteristics that can be seen:
1. Cosima, Beth, and Alison were all born by their mothers through IVF, Sarah was adopted by Ms.S from the Carltons pipeline, and Comparison of Beth's DNA and Sarah's difference (I don't know if it is the difference between the mother and the copy itself, or Dr. Leekie labeled each copy)
2. Dr. Leekie knows the names of the other 8 copies, but for Sarah But obviously there are doubts.
3. If it is assumed that the clone has no offspring, at the end of the eighth episode, Helena told Kira, how could Sarah be your mother, she had self-doubt (I guess, at the beginning of the cloning project, the mother was Two exchanges or transfers, so that religious sects such as Thomas thought Helena was the mother, and instilled her thoughts since childhood, but when I saw little Kira, this kind of belief rooted in childhood was shaken. Or Helena was also diagnosed. Have experienced infertility.)
--------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
This season After the 10th episode, I don’t know if I only prepared to broadcast 10 episodes in advance to see the audience's reaction. It is obvious that the rhythm and information volume of the ninth and tenth episodes have been improved a lot compared with the previous eight episodes, and many of the foreshadowings are not as good as the previous episodes. Naturally, it seems to be in a hurry. In the last episode, a lot of information and doubts must be rushed to the audience, and I will tell you that there is a big conspiracy behind, don’t forget us.
What are the big question marks left at the end of this season:
1. Who is Mrs. S?
Why did Mrs. S tell Sarah to be careful about the "birth" mother, just because she didn't raise S and H? I don't think it is. After all, the biological mother knew from the beginning that she was a surrogate, unlike the parents of other clones who thought it was artificial insemination. It was because of the fact that something was different during pregnancy, so he ran away after the child was born and sent the child away. So Mrs. S's suspicion and its reasons are untenable. She said bad things about her biological mother to Sarah, did she hope that she would not believe what her biological mother said credulously?
In the photo taken by the "born" mother before she died, the young Mrs. S was wearing a white lab coat, standing in an armed laboratory with another person who looked like a scientist. Behind the photo is the identity, project code and time of the two people: Profs. XXX and XXX Project LEDA July 1977
If the photo reflects the real Mrs. S, then she is likely to have participated in gene cloning research activities, and her current identity has become confusing. Is she an observer of Sarah and Kira? Or did she betray the organization and become the protector of S and K?
But at least it is certain that Mrs. S and the organization behind Rachel must have some kind of relationship, otherwise why not just kill Mrs. S and take Kira away, but after robbing the entire house, then take the old and the young together. ? ? Isn't it a suspicion of trouble?
(Also, as a surrogate mother, how did you get this photo?)
2. What will happen to Cosima?
In the last episode, in the first few episodes, Cosima, who looked like a body, suddenly appeared in the tenth episode of Cosima's sister. The symptoms are very similar to the German clone who ate a peanut and braided before. If C is the only one on Sarah's side For someone who can provide technical support and solve the mystery, if she is lost, how should the plot continue? After all, the power gap between the "positive" and the "evil" will affect the balance of the plot.
3. On the patent of cloning humans or cloning genes?
First of all, how the patent was applied for is a question, after all, this is not the gene of animals and plants, and the possibility of applying for it is strange. (The related law blindly expresses ignorance about this).
Secondly, judging from the newly emerging clone Rachel intends to persuade other clones to sign "protection" clauses one by one, this patent is not as "perfect" as Cosima said to Sarah on the phone-We are property, our bodies, our biology, everything we have, everything we become, belongs to them. The patent itself has its limitations, but once the contract is signed, it is equivalent to selling the body in disguise and completely becoming the guinea pig of the organization, which is why Finally, the reason why Cosima prevented Sarah from signing the contract.
Finally, does Sarah and Helena's genes belong to the scope of the patent? Due to the emergence of surrogate mothers, Sarah and Helean can be ruled out as identical twins delivered by natural fertilization, but the possibility that they are the mothers cannot be completely ruled out. If the two are the original mothers, they may not belong to the patent. Scope. If they belong, then why doesn't Dr. Leekie feel that these two people, or that Dr. Leekie is just a member of the organization. Is there someone else in the real Boss?
4. Who is Rachel?
As a new clone number n (here I have to praise the heroine’s acting skills, it’s a supernatural skill, a model worker~), it seems that this one seems to be a lot older than the other clones in terms of makeup, and she should be too One of the direct participants of the project, but not necessarily the highest level of the organization (you can tell from her email that she has a head office above) and whether she is or why she is older than others is also a question. She should have a lot of scenes in the next episode.
5. Regarding Sarah and other clones,
Sarah’s role in the whole season is like a key. Through her perspective, she slowly reveals the secrets for the audience, and it also makes me believe that she has a special point that is different from other clones. For example, she is the only person who has a daughter. For example, why does her twin sister have superb self-healing ability? Why was Dudu she stolen away from the organization's control?
Hope to get some explanation in the next season\(≧▽≦)/
