At first, it was because I wanted to search for other movies, but I accidentally found this American drama and got 9 points, which immediately aroused my curiosity. After reading the movie reviews, almost all of them praised the show, and it was also linked with "The Big Bang Theory", so I wanted to see what kind of drama has such charm. After watching it, I have to say that this show is worth it. While you still have feelings for the show, record your feelings.
I didn't understand at first, why is "firefly" related to space science fiction? It turns out that the Firefly "Firefly" is a relatively backward type of spaceship.
Centuries from now, human civilization is highly developed, the earth is overwhelmed, and it can only continue to expand outwards. In order to unified management, an alliance is established. Some humans did not want to obey the management of the alliance, and rose up to resist and form an independent army. After the defeat, the independent army also disappeared silently.
Captain Mal was also a member of the Independence Army. After the defeat, he bought a firefly-class spaceship, named "Serinity", and took his former comrade-in-arms and current first mate to the unexplored area of the alliance. to the edge of the planet to make a living. On the way through the vast universe, I met all kinds of people - a naughty priest Book, a sister-controlled but highly skilled Simon and his neurotic genius sister River, a girl who is a bit natural and dumb Teacher (and a little nympho) Kaylee, a simple-minded, well-developed man with only money, guns, and women in his head. Jayne, an extraordinary pilot who drives a spacecraft like leaves, and a beautiful and stubborn The senior geisha Inara, along with loyal first mate Zoe, captain Mal, sailed into infinite space.
One more thing to add here, because in the distant future, the alliance will be governed by China and the United States, so halfway through watching the show, you will often see a word or two of plastic Chinese pop up from the characters. Until they speak Chinese; or Chinese characters everywhere.
Although the story is set to take place several centuries later, it does not present a dazzling sense of the future. It is more like the desolate feeling presented in American Westerns. Barren loess can be seen everywhere, and the means of transportation are also primitive. Animals, even fighting like guns, have an absurd sense of unreality. No matter what level of development in the future, the gap between the rich and the poor will still exist, and it will become more and more obvious.
Each episode solves a small trouble/adventure in the form of a small team, interspersed with the past story of a crew member on the Serenity. The best part is the eighth episode, which cleverly connects each crew member on the Serenity through editing. Numbering process, I like it very much! Episode 7 is about Jayne's clay idols, which are amazing, showing how to deify people and how to pull gods off the altar, but as the captain said, they just need a belief. In the twelfth episode, it tells how the soldiers will survive after the war, which is also quite touching. "We participated in the war without thinking about surviving, but in the real world, we can't survive", inexplicably thought of "Shawshank Redemption "Reid's incompatibility with real life after he was released from prison. There are many other ingenious settings, not all spoilers.
Originally wanted to dig into the deeper things of this show, but the writing is limited and can only go so far, but "Firefly" is worth watching.
Like the opening song,
Take my love, take my land, take me where I can't stand
I don't care. I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black, tell them i ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
Have no place I can be since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me.
May Serenity be like fallen leaves in the wind, far away from the splendor of flowers, and soar without emotion.
