The world's hottest TV series this year is undoubtedly the final season of HBO's big move "Game of Thrones " .
After nine years of company, the stories of power disputes, promises and betrayals, wars and peace, abandonment and persistence in the seven kingdoms will draw the final chapter;
In three weeks, those grievances between Westeros and the Great Wall will be over.
When we were watching Game of Thrones,
There will always be arguments about the ups and downs of the characters, the conspiracy between the major families, or the story full of changes and legends,
And this time, when we watched the final season, we had a feeling in common with the characters in the play,
After so many killings, peace and love and hatred, all people are not the same as they were in the first season, but our last wish is to take a tender look at you again.
And this year's hottest movie is undoubtedly "Avengers 4" ,
The superheroes encountered the most powerful and complex opponents in history. Thanos wiped out half of the living beings, which undoubtedly caused a heavy blow to the superheroes.
The remaining heroes are forced to fight their last stand,
This is not only the revenge of the superheroes for their fallen comrades, but also the collective farewell of the heroes to the audience,
"Avengers: Endgame" will write the final chapter of the saga for 22 Marvel movies .
The Avengers story will end,
But the stories of superheroes are staged on the big screen and the small screen all the time, whether it is the new series of "X-Men" starring Erya, or the "Dark Phoenix" starring Sansha;
No matter how mediocre, gloomy and repetitive the world we live in, the world of light and shadow will always give us faith and teach us to believe:
There is always justice and hope in this world, no matter what kind of predicament you are in, always believe that there will be superheroes coming for you.
Today, Hongyan Xiuying wants to introduce to you an American drama created by Netflix.
The drama "Umbrella Academy" coexists with the gorgeous and legendary anime feeling and the dark gothic crime suspense style .
The Umbrella Academy is based on the hit Eisner Award-winning comic and graphic novel.
On the same day in 1989, forty-three babies were born inexplicably.
And these women who became mothers at random had no previous signs of pregnancy at all and had no connection whatsoever.
Seven of the children were adopted by billionaire industrialist Sir Reginald Hargreaves, who founded the Umbrella Academy ,
And raise their own "children" to save the world, but things don't go as planned, and during their boyhood, the family splits and the team disbands.
Today, the six surviving members are in their thirties,
They are reunited over the news of Hargreaves' death, with Luther, Diego, Alison, Klaus, Vanya and Five working together to solve the mystery of their father's mysterious death,
But with different personalities and abilities, the estranged family is once again on the verge of breaking up, not to mention the threat of doomsday .
"Each of us is not an island",
This sentence applies to human trials as well as to superheroes.
Whether it is the super-power academy composed of superpowers adopted by professors in "X-Men",
Or the superheroes in the battleships that form a team to defend against foreign enemies in "The Avengers",
Or the mutant family in "The Gifted" because of their exceptional talent and mutual understanding and support.
The setting of "Umbrella Academy" is also the same,
A group of gifted children who came to the world in a strange way, were adopted by a cruel and harsh adoptive father, and they have a complex family feeling under the patriarchal patriarchy between them ,
We understand each other and rely on each other, everyone is the person who knows each other best in this world;
But they hate and quarrel with each other because they have witnessed each other's worst deformed growth.
Everyone in this show has supernatural abilities.
But these superheroes did not receive the love of thousands of people, save the world, and be happy and satisfied because of this.
Instead, they are mired in loneliness and self-doubt .
They live together but don't know how to love themselves, love each other,
These superheroes have been cultivated and trained as tools since childhood. They live in denial and rejection, and they face cold violence.
In the end, I found out that my life was a complete lie,
He is obviously a victim, but after the truth is revealed, he has to continue to face hostility and imprisonment.
There is no gathering of Marvel heroes here,
There is no talent, but the road of growth and awakening of the sea king who has no intention to become king,
It explores what is missing from the hearts of superheroes with God-given talents and the same growing pains as ordinary people.
Even a seemingly ordinary girl may have great potential,
Superheroes also choose to escape and indulge to face confusion and frustration.
The seemingly powerful "heroes" also have all sorts of growth problems and character flaws.
What the grim-looking Sir Reginald Hargreaves said was the truth "Life is full of hardship and pain" ,
Even if you are a superhero, you need to continue to learn how to face the growing pains in the ordeal,
Even if you are gifted with the ability to save the world, you cannot escape the self-doubt and lonely matrix that advanced creatures must face.
And the more special point of "Umbrella Academy" lies in the world where the superheroes are constructed.
It is different from the color saturation and colorful comic texture of the Marvel Universe; it is also different from the magnificent "Underwater Atlantis Epic" created by Wen Ziren in DC's "Sea King".
The Umbrella Academy creates a very unique retro and psychedelic world.
When seven people attended the funeral of their adoptive father, the sky was gray and it was raining coldly.
The gray-white and worn-out statues and the green vegetation all create a cool and restrained color;
Xiao Wu also showed the smoky, low-contrast retro fantasy colors of steampunk and metropolis in "The Umbrella Academy" when crossing the world again and again .
The street was hazy with smoke, I wonder if it was the heat from the steam train,
Women wear dark pink wide-brimmed hats and suit skirts in the streets; Xiaowu is also a retro western encounter in "Frozen" when he is tracked by superpowers .
In the doughnut shop in the remote neighborhood, the panicked clerk, the empty outdoor, the confrontation between Xiaowu and the enemy, the fighting in the wild, flashing green lights and red lights,
Just like the pink donut logo sprinkled with chocolate needles in the dark, it is full of steampunk psychedelic texture and full of hazy beauty.
In fact, the story of "The Umbrella Academy" is not novel, but its setting of the atmosphere of the superhero drama is really innovative.
And its various soundtracks and scenes are mutually exclusive and unexpectedly fit,
At the beginning, a retro and elegant violin played in the theater, followed by the classical and elegant piano sound and the modern and popular jazz music actually let you know these grotesque and gloomy superheroes.
Obviously a superhero but full of frustration, who else!
The grotesque, intense and "zombie" character design, the very distinctive fighting that combines publicity and classical beauty,
Playful ghostly and incomparably fitting charming soundtrack, gothic mutant academy, dark intertwined steampunk style "pink and gray" tones,
If you want to enjoy a completely different superhero series , this "Umbrella Academy" is definitely worth a try!
