The old lady has finished watching the love crash that has exploded the circle of friends recently. I still watch it while eating, not serious~
There is not a single episode in the whole play that connects the previous and the next. The bizarre style of painting and the story of a hundred flowers blooming seem to have nothing to do with it, but it has an inexplicable sense of series. I have to admire David Fincher, which can be covered by a highly abstract Love, Death & Roberts. All the show!
But after watching 18 episodes in one go, the strongest feelings are "death" and "robot". Where is "love"? Maybe not.
Violence and fear go hand in hand from the first episode.
The meat-devouring beast that the female protagonist uses to remotely control her is her body, while the opponent's meat-devouring beast is just a tool. If you win, your opponent will be safe, if you lose, you will be doomed.
What an unfair game this is, the heroine prefers to die and live.
The reason is that she has been raped, so she has to release her anger in this way.
“I am fighting for my life. That is my edge.”
If you don't dare to watch the first episode, you can basically abandon the show later, because almost every episode of it is full of blood, and it faces the deepest fear in people's hearts.
It is the fear of being powerless, at the mercy of others, and being suppressed by dimensionality reduction.
The most common level is to enter the zombie cave by mistake, and watch the companions being peeled off layer by layer.
Then there was a whole episode of fierce fighting, thinking that I finally escaped, but I didn't expect to solve one, and there are thousands more.
What's more terrifying is the "Terror Cruise"-style infinite loop.
This "Witness" directed by the animation director of "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" has excellent visual effects, making the story of the Ouroboros gripping and breathless.
This theme has been used in many movies before. In "The Witness", the male and female protagonists are the murderers of each other, but due to the manipulation of a mysterious force, they will never know, and they can only run away and scream. and infinite loop in death.
As for the highest level of fear, it is to make people unable to distinguish between reality and dream.
There are many benefits in this episode, but if the old lady is the male protagonist, she should choose suicide~
"Beyond the Aquila Gap" combines "Inception" + "Source Code". At the beginning of the story, the male protagonist and his companions flew away to the mysterious space tens of thousands of light-years away from the earth because of a "data error". Desperate enough.
What's even more desperate is that his only reliance, his friend and P friend, is just a fantasy tailor-made for him by a spider spirit (?).
Don't be deceived by the look of this high-level creature, the Virgin. If she really treats all souls equally, why don't she care that the next female astronaut will only take care of the male lead? Seriously thinking about it...
The male protagonist wakes up in a subconscious dream and finds that this is the reality he is in - a cemetery of spider webs, and the real body of his P friend↓
Then, this mysterious power brings him back to sweet dreams, and again and again, until his soul is exhausted.
The whole love crash is filled with a cruel and sad atmosphere. In such a big background, no one can conquer everything with love , even the desert night when the car is thrown, and the world of encountering big fish, so beautiful, so dreamy, not so beautiful. A country of love.
Instead, it's a bait that a rattlesnake attracts its prey, and when the time comes, it begins to hunt.
The only open ending that is slightly brighter, happened in the episode "The Shapeshifter". The background is the war between the United States and Afghanistan. The male protagonist is the legendary "Wolf Warrior" (?) Oh no, it's a dog, he owns a dog Animal ability, can also transform.
But such a powerful character still wears a dog tag to be inferior to others in human society, and even if they are born and die with people, they can only live at the low end of the contempt chain.
But he still has comrades in arms that he can treat with sincerity. This kind of feeling is insignificant on the battlefield, because the death of life is always caught off guard.
Under the call of his heart, he completed his transformation at night, defeated the werewolf, and returned to the military camp.
However, he still had to endure the abuse of the officer "You are not a soldier, you are just an animal", so he left with the corpse of his comrade in arms and walked into the wilderness.
"See you in the wild, my friend!"
After watching this episode, the old lady felt inexplicably happy, even more happy than watching the heroine fight back in the first episode, she felt like she was out of anger.
Maybe because people will suffocate in the high civilization built by themselves, but they will never suffocate in nature~
There is also an episode of Love Dead that deals with the relationship between nature and human society, which is the 8th episode "Happy Hunting".
The male protagonist and the fox met each other when they were young, and they have a good impression of each other.
However, with the historical and social turmoil such as the industrial revolution, the decline of the Qing Dynasty, and the opening of the door, the fox spirit's mana became weaker and weaker, and eventually became a weak woman with no power, and reunited with the male protagonist on the streets of Hong Kong.
The old lady thought that the two would have a period of sadomasochism, and by the way complained about the limitations of the lower-class species, and later found that the old lady's pattern was small.
The male protagonist and the fox did not have any romantic stories.
Also, in that era when everyone is in danger, people living at the bottom have exhausted their energy to survive every day, so how can there be time to love others?
The direction of the story turns into darkness, and the vixen meets an official who can only be hardened by facing a machine .
She wanted revenge, so she found the male protagonist and gave herself a mechanical soul.
This scene is intriguing, does the male protagonist have lust in the face of such a vixen ass? If there is, is it also with that perverted gang?
Maybe, but more with pity and respect.
"Good hunting, Yan."
It would be great if there was a fox who really walked the way for the sky in that era~
This standard "Fox Spirit" theme still has nothing to do with love , and is more about expressing revenge and resistance.
In addition, there are several episodes of Love Dead Machine with water-infused pork, the form first, the creativity second, such as "Yogurt Rule the World", maybe the screenwriter opened a brain hole and didn't know how to end it, and it ended hastily in 5 minutes.
There are also "Ice Age" and "Different History", which was a Big Idea at the beginning, especially "Different History" brought out Hitler - what would the process of the world change without Hitler? What a creative proposition, but it was defeated by the execution. After watching it for 1 minute, people couldn't help but want to fast-forward.
There is also the last episode, such a realistic special effect with such a popcorn story, a waste of money...
Strange to say, before all kinds of flesh and blood were flying and breasts were overflowing, the old lady's heart was not fluctuating, but in one episode, there was no chest, no blood, and it was quiet, and the old lady's heart fluctuated several times and even wanted to cry.
This episode is "Qima's Work", which is rated as the best in the whole drama by many people.
This episode also proves that in order to be remembered, you don't have to be slaughtering and revealing all three points. What is important is the connotation.
When I saw the artificial people who had been able to climb the mountain and go down the sea of fire, traveled all over the universe, and lived for more than 100 years, they jumped into the swimming pool under the witness of tens of thousands of people, gradually decomposed their bodies, and abandoned all higher consciousness and thinking. And the senses, leaving only the most primitive parts, clumsily cleaning the small square tiles of the swimming pool, the old lady feels that the door to heaven has opened
The so-called return to nature, the ultimate destination of infinite self-evolution, is often a very simple thing.
"I am going home."
However, this episode is the best of the whole, and it still doesn't discuss love.
So what exactly is "love" in "Love, Death and Robots"?
Maybe the director wants to tell us that human beings are still willing to live in this riddled world, and the struggle and pain for it is love itself.
