The family has seven sons, and they are very talented.
Let each show their magical powers, and work together to fight crime together.
Guess what movie this is?
"Calabash Brothers"? ? ?
Sorry, not really...
Let's say, is "Umbrella Academy" (at The Umbrella Academy), inside of seven children, were comparable to the magic gourd doll.
2019 can be said to be the year of the blowout of comics, and major filmmakers have launched new comics.
Netflix chose the adaptation of the manga of the same name of "The Umbrella Academy" written and written by Gerald Wei, the lead singer of the punk band My Chemical Romance of Deyi Shuangxin .
Let's go back to the Seven Sons of The Umbrella Academy.
First, let's take a look at their miraculous birth :
At 12 noon on October 1, 1989, 43 women around the world were inexplicably pregnant and gave birth to a child.
For example, this innocent Soviet girl was still young and shy with the boy a second ago.
Suddenly pregnant and giving birth to a child in the next second, people were caught off guard.
Anyway, not every girl can take the responsibility of taking care of unprovoked flesh and blood. Billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreaves has been around the world seeking adoptions of these mysteriously born babies , and he has adopted seven in one fell swoop.
Because Jazz felt that these "chosen children" had superpowers , he wanted to train them to be superheroes to save the world, so a wonderful family was born:
Mama Grace is a robot.
Butler Berg is an orangutan...
From a young age, the Jazz have been very cold and strict with them. In his eyes, children don't even deserve a name, and only call them by their numbers.
In addition to treating them like icebergs, he also arranged for each of them a near-merciless training. After training had improved, the Jazz arranged for them to fight evil. "Umbrella Academy" has also become a famous "Junior Commando" .
Time goes back to the present. The five siblings (No. 6 is deceased, No. 5 is missing) have already left the mansion one after another, scattered around , with little contact.
Hercules Luther (Number 1) because of an accident, he has the strong body of an orangutan , he is very sensitive. He was Jazz's oldest child and was finally sent to the moon to live alone for four years.
Vigilante Thiago (Number 2) is agile and still wears a mask to deliver justice when he grows up .
Big star Alison (Number 3) can make " lies come true ", which brought her fame in the movie world and led to the breakdown of her marriage. And Luther, who has no blood relationship, has always liked each other.
The addict Klaus (Number 4) is a typical middle child in the family, with a low sense of presence and contempt. Able to communicate with the deceased , but also feel tormented, addicted to alcohol and drugs all day long.
Time Traveler Number 5 (Number 5) has the ability to travel through time and space . Because of a young adventure, his whereabouts are unknown.
The deceased Ben (Number 6) has the ability to control a powerful phantom limb to KO a large group of opponents , but has passed away. But as an undead, he is always with the fourth Klaus.
The younger sister, Vanya (Number 7), is considered to have no superpowers and has been excluded since she was a child. With low self-esteem and cowardice, she can only put her love on the violin. The only bold thing she has ever done is to write a book to reveal the life of the Umbrella Academy.
However, because of Jazz's sudden death, the five reunite at the Umbrella Academy.
Luthor suspected that Sir's death was not an accident , and that the others didn't care. Just as they were arguing, a blue lightning storm flashed, and a man fell out—it was No. 5 who disappeared many years ago, and he still kept his youthful appearance.
Just when everyone was confused, Number Five said something shocking: the end of the world will come in seven days, and they must prevent the tragedy from happening.
Everyone began to look for clues about the death of Jazz and the end of the world. Two time and space killers (Hazel and Cha-Cha) came because they were looking for No. 5. They were ruthless and ruthless at the cost, and even went directly to the Umbrella Academy to kill. The six were reunited to protect each other.
At the same time, Vanya found that her super powers were slowly awakening, and they were very powerful and difficult to control.
Everyone searched hard for the cause of the end of the world, and found that all the clues pointed to their low-key and ordinary little sister .
"The Umbrella Academy" is different from the simplicity and rudeness of the previous comics and super-British dramas. It is more inclined to interpret the theme of " family ".
Whether it was the brutal training the Six suffered during childhood or Vanya's exclusion, it was a decision the Jazz made because of "for your own good."
The phrase "for your own good" is all too familiar to Chinese children. Parents use "for your own good" to urge study, marriage, and childbirth, and all kinds of " moral kidnappings " make you breathless.
But you can't be angry or hate, because this is your family, one love can kill a thousand hatred. Just like the five people in the play cursed their father, but when they learned that their father died, they didn't cry for a second and went home immediately.
"Home" is contradictory. It can love and hurt people.
Most personality flaws are closely related to family.
For example, Luther, as the eldest, has longed for the recognition of the Jazz since he was a child. He is extremely loyal and dedicated like a workaholic, but he has neglected his own life. In the end, he is self-suspicious and overwhelmed.
Jazz wanted Crys to overcome his fear of the dead, and often locked him in a tomb as a child. As everyone knows, it backfires, and the psychological shadow causes Klaus to use drugs and alcohol to escape suffering.
And the youngest Vanya, because of the exclusion of her father and sister, was shy and inferior all her life, and finally broke out of superpowers because of emotional out of control, resulting in "blackening".
Nietzsche once said in the film:
If it is said that humans are between animals and superhumans, then the seven "superhumans" of the Umbrella Academy possess superhuman abilities, but also possess mortal flaws. On the one hand super power, on the other hand is often incapacitated.
People are different, but for some reason, they are united. Just like the symbol of the "Umbrella Academy" LOGO: unite to resolve the crisis together. Can seven people with different personalities and flaws put aside their prejudice and prejudice, unite and save the world?
