This is not my imagination, but the story told in the latest American drama "Under TheDome" by Stephen King, the master of horror. As for the metaphor of the story, you can freely associate it.
When I first saw the invisible curtain wall, I used to think that the screenwriter wanted to sell Rawls’ “Veil of ignorance” and set up a completely “equal” choice situation based on “ignorance”. Achieve "justice". But after reading it for a while, it became clear that the design of the story has nothing to do with Rawls's theory of justice, or even the opposite. Each character brings its own differences in identity, class and personality from the mother's womb. They continue these differences and are placed in a closed space, and then abandoned by the same kind outside, more like a high-level alien civilization observing humans. The experiment, or a group of white mice.
From the first season alone, this story has nothing to do with "Utopia". On the surface, everyone is a believer in the American spirit, but when natural resources are becoming scarce and various contradictions are intensifying, people's selfish desires begin to swell, and unruly people start a strong competition for power and materials; thus social order In the face of disintegration, the originally weak judicial system is also in collapse. What's more interesting is that almost everyone is swaying between private power and justice. As a result, the so-called "democracy" has opened the way to "authoritarianism." Under this dome, the most powerful is the huge and mysterious "supernatural" power. "It" controls the development process of adult society with its elusive will; but it is the little one that can influence "it". A group of children in the town. From the perspective of social and family, the children are in the most vulnerable position, which seems to bring a subtle balance to the story.
The male number one is the handsome captain Mike Vogel in the American drama "Pan Am", and the female number one is the coquettish villain Rachelle Lefevre in the movie "Twilight". To be honest, the former's creamy face suddenly played a rugged man, which made people very uncomfortable; the latter was fat enough to have a fat-temperate milf. I watched twelve episodes in the first season, and the common problems of American TV series have appeared: one is that there are more and more gang shots, and the other is that there is a constant need to pop up new people to advance the plot. The bigger problem is that after reaching the peak of perfection like a god, both the pros and the villains begin to make low-level mentally handicapped mistakes.
Perhaps the greatest value of the play lies in the design of a dilemma experiment that can be politically and sociologically revealing; the disadvantage is that it should not be a narrative and endless American drama, but should be made into a film. Movies where problems and contradictions are more concentrated.
