As a viewer who is more interested in politics, when I heard about this drama, I wondered whether it would describe the turbulent political struggle in Washington under the background of Kennedy's assassination, various domestic and international The wrestling of forces, staged a traversal version of "House of Cards". And Franco also passed through as an aide or cabinet member around the president, or as an intern in the White House. After watching two episodes, it was obvious that the guesswork was lost. But it didn't disappoint me, because it showed bits and pieces of American people in the 1960s, which also fascinated me, an audience who is very interested in American civilian society.
Speaking of the United States in the 1960s, discrimination and resistance against blacks and the Vietnam War were two unavoidable problems. When the male protagonist who received today's racial equality education inadvertently walked into the "black-only" toilet, he was reminded, as if he had already told him: "This is the United States in the middle of the last century! You have come to the United States in another era." The three views are very righteous, and he is quite gentlemanly. When he wanted to pour a glass of water for the black teacher Miss Mimi, it caused the surprise of other teachers and students. It also highlights that in that era, even in more advanced places like schools, even teachers Discrimination with students is not obvious, but these whites still have invisible separation and disrespect towards blacks in their hearts. Although the blatant racist at the gas station did not cheer for Miss Mimi, just because she was a "nigger", the teachers seemed very "civilized", but they did not "extend" their gentlemanship to black women. Isn’t it also a kind of "exquisite racial discriminator" to separate modern civilization and etiquette from specific groups? More than 50 years have passed. Although the remnants of racial discrimination in the United States are still stubborn, at least they are not as ridiculous and shameful as they were in the past by most modern Americans, nor are they everywhere and everywhere before. People nowadays recall the past and are shocked by the distorted values and behaviors of Zhang, San, Li, Four, Kings and Five (or George John Jacks) in the old age, so that they reflect on society and themselves?
When the male protagonist drove to the countryside of Kentucky in order to save his mother and sister from passing through the former student, we saw a picture of the life of the township residents in many countries-the child's bullying, crude and wild Entertainment, domestic violence, and an extra-legal society lacking governance. The old lady in the gun shop joked and easily sold revolvers, the tavern that smelled of alcohol, cigarettes, gangsters, and pretty and coquettish women, Dunning smashed the calf’s head with a hammer without mercy. The childhood Harry countless times could not escape the severe beatings, the sputum spit on the face by the older children, the bruises on Doris's face by her husband, and the old people on the street looking at the people in the town with the usual and sighing eyes. In addition, these may resonate with viewers who have lived in rural areas. Or maybe it won’t resonate, because many people who have experienced it are numb. When a gun shop becomes a small shop selling fake and inferior products and expired meat, when Harry becomes a "unlucky guy who often screams in the woods behind the school." "Zhang Goudan, when Tao Ruisi became the daughter-in-law of the Li family next door, and the "Shangri-La" "Heaven on earth" of the same woman who smells of wine, cigarettes, humiliation, and looks very coquettish. One after another, the sound of motorcycles is endless. Everyone does not think there is anything wrong with what happened, nor does it have anything to do with this American drama, nor does it feel that there is any need to change.
As for the assassination of Kennedy itself, the film did not give any novel views, and tended to the most orthodox explanation-this is Oswald's personal behavior, there is no conspiracy or organized planning. This kind of writing is indeed more conducive to the film's return to the real theme: exploring society, human nature, history and love, rather than just entangled in a specific historical event. If the movie gives a novel or conspiracy theoretic interpretation, the theme of the play will be overwhelmed by it and become a background cliché (various film and television dramas based on the assassination of Kennedy are endless), and the theme is also clichéd (exploratory American gods). Drama). However, although the movie still attributed Kennedy’s death to Oswald’s clichéd “historical facts”, it gave the audience a special anatomy of Oswald’s “life” in the last few years to make people “know” him. Isn’t it fascinating to think, act, and connect with the subsequent act of assassination?
Love is an eternal human emotion, and it is also an eternally passionate topic in film and television dramas. The relationship between the hero and Sadie has gone back and forth several times, but the two sides seem to have known each other better than they knew each other. When everything is reshuffled, history is rewritten, everyone's experience changes, and only love is still in the depths of the unknowable heart. Speaking of this, they are very similar to the heroes and heroines of the two "Steps" dramas. Although they are in the two worlds, they all have a strong heart. This also shows that the love between men and women in China and the West is similar, and the directors also have this aspect. Basically consistent inspiration and attitude.
China and the United States also have different types of traversing dramas. In addition, I watched relatively few, so as mentioned earlier, it is difficult to compare them completely. However, if you compare it to a smaller one, comparing this drama with the most popular ones in previous years, it can be considered as a few representative Qingchuan dramas in the domestic cross-border dramas. There are still more differences than the same. The few Qing Chuan dramas that I have watched are nothing more than urban white-collar workers crossing to a certain elder brother by accident, polyangular love (no derogatory meaning), palace fighting, misunderstanding and reconciliation, the whole drama focuses on a few The emotional entanglement of the core characters, as for other things, the people of the three religions, the people of the society and the people, are just like a screen, and they are composed of the heroine and the elder brothers, sisters (including several "subordinates") and others. The small circle of people is not regarded as an element that needs to be deduced, let alone the content that you want to express. The embellishment that they occasionally enter the circle is also a foreshadowing to serve the needs of shaping the image of several protagonists or the plot. "11" takes the action of the protagonist as a clue, and takes the rescue of Kennedy as an introduction. It shows the social status, values, lifestyle, and the protagonist (or the director, or the contemporary Many Americans) praise, sympathize, dislike, incomprehensible, hate and interfere (or desire to interfere) for them. Behind the similarities and differences between the value orientation and life of these modern people and the past, they reflect the progress of the times, the twists and turns of social development, and the helplessness and struggle of small people in the big era. Of course, the content of these two kinds of traversal dramas is better or worse, but it is not suitable for simple black and white judgments. As for the values they convey, it's even harder to use pure praise and criticism to rank among them. After all, different people in the same drama can read different values. However, if we look at such aspects as the profound culture, the humanistic care delivered, the breadth and depth of the problem, and the beneficial enlightenment to people, should domestic dramas learn from American dramas?
Compared with many other traversal dramas, this drama has another feature. The characters in the drama can indeed change history, but only for a moment. Fundamentally, people’s destiny is still so difficult to change, just like that who has traversed countless times. "Two minutes" until the old person, nothing can really save his daughter's life. Like Harry, although he escaped his father's blade, his mother and sister died tragically due to other accidents, or, like the protagonist, he saved Kennedy for a while. , But let the world fall into a worse situation. It uses another way to warn those who want to change past history: this is futile or counterproductive. Compared with other traversal dramas, "I want to change history but always contribute to history", it is obviously more novel and unique, and it also triggers people's thinking about history and reality.
Although the whole show is quite exciting, but I feel that there are not many shortcomings. As an American drama set in the Kennedy period, although the reflections are rich, there are still deficiencies. Like the already raging black civil rights movement, the rebellious student generation sweeping through Europe and the United States, the controversial Vietnam War issue, and the huge difference between the material conditions at that time and the contemporary era, such as the absence of the Internet, it can actually be more prominent. Show it, or talk more. People in this era come to another era, and there are too many things to tell. The ending was also a bit hurried. The president knew so quickly that he was not the murderer but the one who saved him, and at this time the FBI was still suspecting that he was a killer. Also, it is a bit far-fetched to explain why the 2016 changed by the protagonist became a ruin. The first time he was followed and almost caught him by virtue of modern people’s "post-knowledge" gambling, but then he repeated the same trick many times and placed bigger bets. This is not in line with what a cautious and intelligent protagonist should do. Thing.
The flaws do not cover up, as mentioned earlier, the whole drama is still touching and thought-provoking. We are now living in China in the 21st century. What if we traveled to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the 4th century BC where a hundred schools of thought contended and the princes fought their forces? What if we traveled to the two Song dynasties that were prosperous in commerce but faced with internal and external troubles? How about the Qing dynasty's "Gao Dao declining" period when the "prosperous age" was no longer in the early 19th century, and the gap between the rapid progress of Western Europe was widened? What about the beginning of the 20th century? Can we change history? If it changes, will it make the world's future worse by doing bad things like the protagonist of this series? If we talk about the values of today's people to the ancients, what would they think? If historical reality determines the degree of advancement of thought, then, the equality, freedom, and hierarchical order that we advocate, and the distinction between high and low, which one meets the specific social needs of ancient times? Is compliance equal to reasonable? Falling in love, handshake, nightlife, and 9 to 5 nights, will you lose to your parents’ words, matchmaking, bowing and worshipping, perspiring in farming civilization, falling asleep, or leaning on the alley with a rice bowl? Does the individual person determine the entire society, or does the society’s economy, system, culture, and the inertia of huge habits determine every person who is lively but easily changed? When our generation in the world has entered the earth (or just became a handful of ashes in a box placed in a stone frame in a public burial chamber if the ashes are still there) hundreds or thousands of years, then How do people judge us? If the advanced technology at that time allowed Einstein's theory of relativity to be expanded again, and there were truly super-light speed means, people could go back to the old age, and spiritual civilization would reach a very high ideal level, and people at that time would have crossed over. Communicating with us, we are concerned about the wars and criminal crimes that often occur in our society around the world-especially all kinds of violence (such as school violence and domestic violence, sexual violence), corruption, hunger and poverty (and tiredness due to poverty). People who are sick or die because of poverty or lack of money to treat illness, because of poverty, and return to poverty due to illness), the oppression of the superior and the subordinate in the office cubicle, the unspoken rules, the intrigue of the party, and the disability that is harmless to others but has strange appearance or behavior The discrimination and exclusion of people, the “heterogeneous” who are not associative, and the various kinds of poor ant tribe house slaves and slaves who sacrifice their lives for the sake of “living” and “living”, work overtime and hard work with wages that are far below the contribution value. Of corporate workers and white-collar employees, as well as various levels of patriarchy in various places, social injustice and disparity between rich and poor, cultural constraints such as general and common customs, religious changes and rises and declines, cruel animal abuse, as well as bowers and star chasers Fanatics and Internet curse war, what will be the view Woolen cloth? Do they look at the civilization of our time like we look at the barbaric and barbaric ancient times thousands of years ago through oracle bone inscriptions and bamboo silk? Or another completely different point of view: In their era, the intellectuals in the Middle Ages looked at the present as they longed for the civilization of ancient Greece and Rome, because mankind is not progressing but entering (or entering voluntarily) into the gray It's another Middle Ages like smog. The society at that time was more cruel than it is now. The killings and conflicts among people have become more and more serious. Today’s conflicts have caused more and more physical and spiritual scars, making people more cruel and more scheming. Due to the development of technology Make the uncontrollable more uncontrollable, or make the controllable more controllable, or both, the world quickly regresses to the evil that has been buried in the old days. Or, there is no qualitative change in everything nowadays, only vulgar quantitative changes, perhaps not even large changes. The crossing is just like taking a train from one city to another. The citizens who have passed through talk to us, compared to different countries. There are more common languages in the conversations between people, more common languages than the conversations between citizens and farmers, and more common languages than people of different classes (if they have "pure" conversations in addition to work and mutual use) There are more common languages. Because hundreds of years later, the gap between the rich and the poor and the solidification of classes still exist in today's countries, the horizontal gap has surpassed the vertical change, and because of this today, we have got that kind of future. There are more common languages for "pure" conversation. Because hundreds of years later, the gap between the rich and the poor and the solidification of classes still exist in today's countries, the horizontal gap has surpassed the vertical change, and because of this today, we have got that kind of future. And “pure” conversational words) have more common language. Because hundreds of years later, the gap between the rich and the poor and the solidification of classes still exist in today's countries, the horizontal gap has surpassed the vertical change, and because of this today, we have got that kind of future.
These three possibilities, which one will the future world be? Or are they some other situations that are unimaginable or unimaginable?
Who knows?
