In the face of time, human beings can only obey.
tales from the loop, translated as loop stories, each episode is like a delicate short story, with a soothing soundtrack, on the surface it seems to tell a story similar to the ring messenger, reincarnation, cycle, cycle, in fact, this The first episode of the play also really proved this ring. But starting from the second episode, the story gradually revealed its true colors.
In the first episode, the little girl comes home and her mother disappears with the house, meeting her adult self in the process of finding her mother. In the second episode, after the little friends exchanged bodies, one little friend refused to change back, causing the other little friend to accidentally get trapped in the robot. In the third episode, the girl discovers a prop that can make time pause, pauses the time, and falls in love with the boy she just met. In the fourth episode, the little boy learns that his grandfather will not live long. In the fifth episode, in order to protect his family, the poor father bought a robot with the money that should have been exchanged for the line, but almost injured his own child. In the sixth episode, a guy who accidentally discovered a photo of a beautiful man suddenly came to the world of beautiful men, but found that he and the beautiful man in this world were lovers. In the seventh episode, the man accidentally discovered and interrupted a monster's hand when he was a teenager. After his father died, he learned that the monster was the first created by his father. In the eighth episode, the little boy learned that his brother was trapped in a robot, and tried to take him away but accidentally stepped into the wormhole stream.
After watching the eight episodes, I looked back and watched the first episode again, and suddenly found that this story is not about reincarnation at all, but about life, a life that faces various changes. "not everything in life make sense", there are many things in life that are unclear why. In fact, this sentence also lays the foundation for the following story. So we can see all kinds of bizarre situations in the back, which are unimaginable and unacceptable to ordinary people.
Except for the fourth episode, in fact, each episode can become an independent sci-fi story. The accident of each episode has the power to shock people's hearts. He almost accepted everything calmly. Because this is in a loop, a loop is a loop, and in a loop, anything can happen.
Therefore, "tales from the loop" ("loop story") should actually be called "magic town story". Not only will various adventures happen, but more importantly, the residents of the town are also accustomed to such adventures. And this loop, this research institution hidden in the ground, does not really refer to a circle or loop, but a mysterious scene, a sci-fi setting that makes all the impossible possible. After peeling off this sci-fi shell, you will find that all stories are accidents and inevitability in life. As long as you are human, you need to face the accident, as long as you live in nature, you need to face the inevitability.
In the first episode, in the face of the accidental disappearance (departure) of the mother, "just give it time", time will heal; at the same time, when the adult self was comforting the young self, he was also saved by the young self. In the second episode, every choice and change you make, you need to bear unexpected bills; when parents are surprised at the sudden change of their sons and accept the path they set, they do not know that the son in front of them is not their real son. In the third episode, time is extremely extravagant and expensive. You can have unlimited desires, but the ending may not be what you want. In fact, the sixth episode is also the same. After the protagonist obtains magical props and realizes his wish, the ending goes to the other side. In the third episode, during the pause time, you can rejoice without limits and scruples, but at the same time, you are also trapped in eternity. After getting tired of the sweetness of love, you finally stabbed the softest position of love precisely and accurately. So the best things can't last forever. In the sixth episode, you in another world are with the person in your dream. When you thought you could easily harvest treasure by breaking in suddenly, you found that this dream is not suitable for you, and nothing is perfect. Looking back only to find that suitable for you just passed by. Isn't this what life is all about? In the fifth episode, because he insisted on his face and refused to be helped, he insisted on making himself stronger through external upgrades, but almost hurt his beloved. He repented and repented, and finally regained happiness. Isn't this a story of mending a sheep after a sheep? In the seventh episode, the mistakes made when I was young are not forgiven, and the nightmare may always follow me; after facing and making up for it, I finally reconciled with the shadow of my youth. The fourth episode and the eighth episode should actually be compared. The little boy doesn't understand death, thinking that his grandfather can make all impossible things possible, and he doesn't understand that in the face of nature, human death is inevitable; then this The half sentence is that the only thing that can stand against time is a robot (non-human). You may keep records, but time leaves its mark on everyone equally. So when I saw the eighth episode, I suddenly realized that it was so.
change is part of nature. Life is inherently impermanent. Impermanence is human.
