Let's talk about The field where I died

Watching the X-Files back then, it was a super impressive episode. In fact, as a non-mainline plot, in the fourth season where the mainline plot is prominent and changeable, it is still relatively common. Title aside and a few words about Season 4 - it's a season that really fascinates me. In this season, the relationship between Mulder and Scully has undergone qualitative changes. In terms of literature and art, it can be summed up that Scully's sudden cancer awakened Mulder's feelings, although he still expressed it so implicitly (this is also painful and unbearable). One of the reasons), in fact, to put it bluntly, it is because I like this kind of bloody plot. In addition, Scully should have NPC (nasopharyngeal cancer). I didn't pay attention to it when I watched it. It seems that there is no special name for the disease in the film, but it is very rare because of the location of the tumor - Scully is still Scully's attending doctor to Mulder. Described as saying - between the brain and the nasal cavity. In fact, in retrospect, it is also a very bloody setting. It seems to be a mysterious disease. The screenwriter must not have verified it. It is not a rare and mysterious disease in China.

The following is the topic. The reason why I like this episode so much is the word "dog blood". Reincarnation, never separation - is the ultimate sublimation of the word dog blood. And the X-Files can wrap it up with the "scientific" theory that gossip audiences like me and others love to hear, and the details are perfectly done. Mulder's past life, as well as the past life of the previous life, are all recalled under deep hypnosis! How scientific! How shocking! I once asked a senior who believed in Tibetan Buddhism how to understand the concept of reincarnation. This was before reading the X-Files. What I asked at the time was, if there is a past life, why does no one know about it? There is no evidence either. He gave me an answer that was so simple and perfect that no one could refute it—because no one would remember it. Just as we don't remember exactly what we were doing on a certain day ten years ago, if it was a hundred or two hundred years ago or even longer, it would be natural to not remember who we were at that time.

So later in the TV series, hypnosis was used to help mine memories, and I immediately conquered me.

In addition to the advantages of dog blood, plausibility, etc., there is also my favorite sensationalism-the title of the film is very sensational. The title that came up was Mulder, the wasteland, the lone tree, and an old photo. The photo was of a boy in a Confederate uniform and a girl in black that he didn't know. The back of the photo had the date 1868 (can't remember exactly) and his name. ——It’s me, and my name is right, but I don’t know it at all, I don’t remember it——It’s super sensational. When I read Eileen Chang's novels before, one detail appeared twice, in two different stories. Once was "Golden Locks", Cao Qiqiao and her husband's family went to the temple to make a birthday celebration for the late master. In front of the temple hall was a large copper stove, which was densely engraved with people's names - all of them spent money to pin their hopes on the afterlife. The name of the woman may have the name of her own past life in the middle, but she can't be recognized anyway; the other time was in the "Eighteen Spring", it seems that when Shi Cuizhi and Shuhui traveled to Nanjing together, it was also in the temple. , almost the same paragraph. I think the expression is "love that is difficult to achieve in this life". The meaning is similar in the Field set. The men and women who are about to get married, because of the war, are separated from life and death - this wilderness is where he finally died, and it was not until the afterlife that was very, very long ago that he came back here and remembered her again, but he couldn't be who he was at that time. He, she was not who she was at the time - they are impossible no matter what, the afterlife is useless, and eternity is impossible.

The only unpleasant, and extremely unpleasant thing, is that this woman who has the regret of not being able to be with Mulder forever is not Scully! Just outrageous! ! ! Because of this, the screenwriter was accused of killing such a wonderful episode in vain. In short, I saw that many people said they didn't like this episode, and that was the reason. And that's fine, the screenwriter has to explain how Scully actually has a relationship with Mulder as if to make up for it. Take a look at what the bullshit relationship between Scully and him mentioned by Mulder in the deep hypnosis: In the past life, during World War II, Mulder was a Jewish woman, CSM was a Nazi Gestapo (this is okay, it still fits the role quite well), AD Skinner seems to be a Jewish sympathizer or something, Scully turned out to be Mulder's father just now, seems to have died on the side of the road, I fainted; A regiment's close comrade - not much better - didn't know what to think, probably because if Scully was arranged to be a woman, there was no way to explain why Mulder didn't treat her better than other women, and just let her do it. Twice men forget it.

In short, the attitude of CC boss in dealing with MS relationship is no longer a word of "appetite" can be dismissed, this "pretentious" can last for nine years and is sturdy enough - but the words Having said that, he should also be quite helpless. There were people who criticized the movie version released between the fourth and fifth seasons. The reason is that they accused Mulder of going all over the world to save Scully. Certainly.

This, this, what is this, at least I have always regarded this drama as a love movie directly - a very, very suffocating love movie, rare and intermittent bloody, plus super gossip, what kind of government conspiracy, salvation complex Lay, aliens, JFK, US-Russian Cold War, trilateral spies, and even Japanese 731 troops. . . 囧

That's why I love it!
