I haven’t watched TV dramas for many years, mainly because I haven’t watched TV for many years. The TV dramas in my impressions are always a few idols and little white faces and I don’t know how many unspoken rules have gone with the director or the actress who has been in bed. Talk about the dialogues of men and women who are unable to talk about tears, crying and crying all day long, miserable, love and love, or it is to tamper with the classics of the past, make all kinds of commercialization or Vulgarization: Bones and Monkey King have a leg, and there are a lot of emotional dramas in the Three Kingdoms, and so on. There is also a kind of domestic TV series that is actually quite disgusting, which is to please the builders of the motherland, but this kind of TV series does not need to be said too much, it is disgusting to say too much.
Let's talk about "Lost". It took six years for Lost to start broadcasting in four years and ending this year. Each episode of the plot is ups and downs and interlocking. The first season laid the burden of the complex behind. While uncovering the truth step by step, it also continued to set new burdens before uncovering it. Although it feels that the screenwriter is a bit unable to constrain these foreshadowings in the end, the overall ups and downs are still at a first-class level. After all, the story itself is already very large, and a little mistake is also in the category of understanding.
In fact, what impressed me the most in the whole series was the performance technique. The screenwriter of "Lost" used three clues to tell the story. Those who have watched the movie "Silent Hill" should remember that in "Silent Hill" there are terms of the inner world, the surface world, and the real world. And "Lost" has a similar method. I'm not a film critic, and I don't see this kind of commentary. I don't know what terms to use, so let's use these three worlds.
The first is the obvious clue, which shows the world. This world is the normal story we see, that is, after the crash of Flight 815, the survivors experienced a series of things from beginning to end, but all things experienced in this world It happened in 1996, when it was fixed, so it was not the real real world; then the inner world. The biggest feature of the whole "Lost" is that in each episode, one side tells the story (that is, what happened in the world), The other side will constantly intersperse the story behind each character. Another success of "Lost" lies in the portrayal of the characters. Each of the main characters is flesh and blood, and there is a kind of realism that can be touched. Almost all of their backgrounds and backgrounds are deeply described, so they are not like others. The characters in the series are always very floating and pale. Of course, this sense of fulfillment of success is mainly due to the expression of the character's life background from time to time in each episode. This inserted life experience background is the inner world. The last clue is the real world. As the name suggests, it is the real and ongoing world we are also living in. This world has appeared since the fourth season. The protagonist Jack and six others have broken through the shackles of the island and returned to the real world, living a seemingly normal but abnormal life. Also, at the end of the story, airplane 815 did not crash, and the people inside lived in that busy world as usual. This ordinary and normal world is the real world. However, in "Lost", this so-called real world is actually buried deeper than the inner world, it is a dark line in a dark line.
Like "Silent Hill" games, another reason I like "Lost" is that there is a feeling of mixing idealism and materialism, and this feeling is more contradictory because it makes me feel a sense of reality. I don't like to watch ghost movies, especially Japanese ghost movies. On the one hand, it is because I am really scared, and on the other hand, because I don’t have the sense of reality that I say, it may be my personal subjective factor. There are no ghosts in Silent Hill (except for the 4th generation of the game, I personally think that "Silent Hill 4" is just a work of selling dog meat). All monsters are the protagonist's ideas and have their own meanings. I think everyone has their own demons and things they fear. What builds these monsters is the spirit of the protagonist, that is, the monsters are spiritually affirmative but materially negative, which means that the monsters are actually nonexistent. And in "Lost", whether it's the weird black smoke, the sudden resurrection of the dead, the polar bear that suddenly pops up in the tropical forest, or the crippled leg of John suddenly stands up, these seemingly magical things are actually material. As the foundation, the only thing that cannot be explained by matter is the series of supernatural numbers, 4, 8, 15, 16. But in any case, this number does not suddenly create a living female ghost crawling out of the TV like a ghost film makes people feel that it is simply fake. After all, there are indeed many coincidences in the real world, and there are many things that cannot be explained by science.
I also think that the counterpart is the character of the character and the demonstration of the dream. As I have said above, through the interspersion of the inner world, the different background life experiences of the characters are expressed, and through the development of the story of the world, the personalities of the characters are also vividly displayed. (I have to say here again, I think there is no real protagonist in "Lost". Many people can be the protagonist.) I think many comments have in-depth descriptions of the character analysis. Anyway, they must not have written it. It’s good, so I won’t write about it. In short, everyone has a good side and a bad side. Whatever you do is motivated, which makes people feel very real. Then it’s dreams. The TV series are basically separated from each other. There will be some scenes in dreams. These dreams are also a means to explain some plots reasonably. I also believe in the theory of dreams. I usually watch some surreal novels and paintings. This is another reason why I like "Lost".
The last thing I want to say is the atmosphere of this series. It is really good and depressing. I even think it is much more depressing than many thrillers. It feels a bit like the atmosphere of "Butterfly Effect" or "Closed Island", there is no deliberately scary place, but I always feel that I am walking in a lost forest, losing my sense of direction, just like holding a Pandora's box, I don’t know. I don't know what will happen next, whether it is good or bad.
anyway. One thing I have to complain about is that I'm the kind of audience who watched it all in one go. The plot of several hundred episodes in six seasons. Although I sometimes watched it fast forward, I still watched me for more than a week. Although the length is great, the length is equally terrible.
In short, "Lost" is a rare and good play. It keeps asking us why and why are we lost?
