It's interesting to say that I started watching it from the second season by accident. Although the plot can't be connected at all, it is good-looking by intuition and sense. Even I thought each season was independent, and the implied content of the first season is the mystery that the second season will solve at the end. It wasn't until someone told me that the plot was coherent that I hurriedly made up the first season after realizing it.
Nonsense here, direct dry goods.
Although both the name and the theme are strange, even wearing the coat of Cthulhu. However, in my opinion, this film is of the same type as "Sex Study Room" and "How to Sell Psychedelics Online Quickly", and it is the "best us" in European and American countries. And the ever-changing is inseparable from its originality, which are all depictions of youthful times. This film depicts the teenage years of the post-80s generation.
Aside from the overall art style, there are several important settings that portray this fact:
1. Cthulhu coat. Cthulhu originally came from the fear of the unknown, and when is the fear of the unknown the most? boyhood. Inexplicably afraid of the dark, because there are the most terrifying things in the imagination. And the best way to shape this is the first season, because the magic dog can travel freely and suddenly appear in any corner you don't expect. The reason why it is called a coat is because the magic dog that can travel back and forth in the first season of the reverse world seems to be stuck in one place at the back. The same is true for more advanced creatures, except that the gate is a source of energy, and it has almost nothing to do with the reverse world.
2. Bring in the settings. In this film, there are two people who are particularly easy to bring in, one is Dustin and the other is the sheriff. Xiaopang can always be on the sidelines, and he smiles happily to see the situation, while the sheriff is more like the current post-80s social animal, hesitant and tired but still has expectations for life. One is the past of the post-80s, which makes people dream back to their childhood, and imagine that they had an adventure to face their fears like this. .
3. Coincidence of the times. In fact, the most accurate positioning of this film is the old beauty who was born in 1975-80. It was an era when the Cold War crisis and development coexisted. It was the last master era in the short, big and tight mouth. age of youth. It is an era that requires both combat readiness and consumption. Interestingly, this is almost a childhood memory of passers-by as a post-80s generation. The fifth generation of directors in China is in the ascendant, various TV stations are broadcasting various animations, CP variety shows have opened the door to the world, and the textbooks that have not been updated in the school are still advocating five lectures, four beauty and three loves in the ideological and moral class, and even eliminate the four evils. Changes in technology are not to be discussed. Although culturally, our childhood didn't go back to the future, no Star Wars, but the same old-time flavor, so familiar.
It's just that this stylized thing can't hold up too long a plot. Although it has been infected for two seasons, in the third season, it is slightly weak.
