This is my third time, if not more than two times, I don't think I can really understand this show and understand every character in it.
I still remember that my foreign teacher in the university played the first episode of the first season in one class. At the end of the class, he said "this is the greatest show in America, which makes a deep influence in my life." I was full of I don't understand, at least at that time I couldn't see how wonderful this drama was, but as a foreign teacher recommended the drama, I still insisted on watching it.
The first time is shock, the second time is understanding, the third time is reluctance.
Seeing the last scene of Lao Bai lying flat on the lab's death, with a peaceful and contented look, even though it was destined from the beginning, I still burst into tears. While regretting it, this is the best arrangement. After five seasons of ups and downs, every time I seem to have to kill, every selfish lie, every manipulation of Jesse, I hate him to the extreme, but I love him to the extreme.
S04 has a whole episode of slaying the flies, and at the end, he keeps complaining to Jesse, and he also gives up chasing the flies. Because he knew that since the moment he watched Jane die, no matter how hard he struggled, the evil of humanity represented by the flies could not be erased. S05 killed Mike, and he returned to the base camp where he shared the spoils. He sat on a chair and stared at the flies on the lamp. Old Bai had accepted his heinous self.
The character of Lao Bai is wonderful, he is conceited and self-respecting, he is ordinary and depressed, he is smart and fanatical, the screenwriter shows us how complicated a person is, I don’t know how to describe it, and I don’t dare to use a word or sentence In words, Lao Bai is too complicated, so complicated that we love him and hate him, so complicated that we both pity him and fear him, so complicated that we both hope that he will escape and that he will be brought to justice.
