the theme of anticlimactic robots has actually been flooded. I hoped that the Western World could tell a unique story, but it is a pity that the first half of it attracted a lot of attention by suspense, but the overall idea was too little dry goods Relying on narrative tricks to drag the show, so there are too many mysteries, and the latter part of the hole filling shows too much unreasonableness. Even if the actor is hired to recite a few Shakespeare's lines, the author's lack of ideas cannot be concealed.
A story with a very simple plot and a thin character, but with a lot of memories and narratives interspersed with a multi-timeline parallel hodgepodge, and then abruptly dragged the content that could have been put into 60 minutes out of a full 630 minutes. play. The large number of pits dug in the first half were not convincing answers.
For example, the "maze", which is constantly nagging throughout the season and every episode, makes people imagine what a magical and ingenious entity it should be. This idea is the motivation for the audience to stay on to the last episode, but in the end? It's just a broken toy for a child, and the connection with the robot consciousness is almost indifferent. The so-called explanation is also clichéd and perfunctory. "The labyrinth is yourself"... Does it still need you to say? ! Who doesn't know that human nature is complicated. The question is how do you discover consciousness through a tool like a labyrinth? What is so special about the labyrinth that you can only achieve your goal from this labyrinth?
For another example, the "Dichotomy", a primary hypothesis for primitive people that has not been recognized in the professional field, is used by screenwriters as a gold standard. Originally, it can also be used as the beginning of a more alternative, and then lead to the evolutionary process of how consciousness develops from primitive low-level to high-level. I think this should be the core of the discussion of robot consciousness. But what about the TV? Dolores has a dichotomy to control her consciousness, and the old bustard is even more powerful, and she has self-consciousness when it hurts (even the dichotomy is saved)!
Others, such as forcibly upgrading the old bustard, the Asian man is crushed by the robot after a conversation, and indifferent to the human compatriots, the kind and sturdy white hat has always known that the heroine is a robot, but is so fragile that it cannot withstand a small blow and blinks. There are many contradictions between the conversations between the incarnations of the devil, the man in black, and the various NPCs and William's identity... all the details can't stand scrutiny.
In short, Western World, another disappointing Lost.
In addition, a very interesting phenomenon has occurred in the audience. Many people followed the trend due to the decoration of technology. In order to create their own superiority, some have derived a variety of over-interpretations: an essentially simple plot, a primitive low-level dichotomy, can actually interpret all kinds of "great philosophy", "great wisdom" and "great universal love." …Some put the screenwriters on the altar, and slog those who have doubts, "You black screenwriter, you are SB." So, are you talking about it? Do you want to turn off all comment areas? What's more, just because of different views on narrative techniques, he swears and all kinds of obscene language, which is justified by the villain's dominant face.
A play reveals the essence of the audience. In this sense, the Western World can be regarded as a miracle.
