In my twenties, I can still successfully recall this distant memory, thanks to the weird cold sweat in the sunny afternoon, and the burst that hits my chest when I get close to the vent is like falling into a voodoo trap. Panic, and Mulder and Scully. With these two names alone, I was able to successfully summon the "sensing chip" planted in my body by the X-Files that year. As soon as I heard them, I was quickly swept by a burst of cult passion. There must be something that shouldn't be put in this film to make people like this.
In fact, looking back at this time point, the X-Files is just a thriller produced at a small cost.
The scene of the mutant man taking the liver attacking the victim does not even have a frontal bloody scene. The audience saw a pair of eyes in the vent in the dark staring at a man, followed him upstairs, followed him to make coffee, watched him call back tiredly, and then returned to the office with coffee and closed the door. Then came the tremors of the shutters, the screams of the men, and some blood splashed on the glass. Finally, the camera scanned the messy office, the man falling in a pool of blood and the slowly tightened screws stained with blood fingerprints at the vents. The monster came, killed, and then left. As for how he inserted the fierce claws into the victim's body, how to rip him, how to eat his liver, and how to squeeze into the vent and escape silently, none of this has been described positively. , But let the audience discover the most terrifying imagination by themselves through suggestive details.
This clever and cost-effective shooting narrative technique fills the entire X-Files. Some people may say that this technique is simple and tedious, but in the story of X-Files, it produces unexpected results. If the X-Files is only a detective film or a supernatural film, this technique may not be able to achieve such a strong effect. The X-Files happens to be a supposed science fiction film.
What is science fiction? In my opinion, science fiction represents the unknown X that exists in the future. The unknown X, you can say it is a ghost, you can say it is a psychopathic and vicious serial murderer; you can always believe that X is an alien like Mulder, or you can attribute X to common sense like Scully. And try to find a reasonable scientific explanation. In the third season of the story, this X was realized as an alien invasion and a high-level government conspiracy, giving Mulder and Scully all the incredible cases experienced by them with a consistent explanation. However, seeing this, I feel a bit of loss in my heart for some reason. "Is that so? Maybe it can only be this way. This is the most reasonable explanation." A voice sounded, comforting the loss. The X-Files has thus become a real science fiction film, with aliens, mysterious signals, invasions, secret agreements, everything. When X has not been filled, its charm is unlimited. However, when it is finally filled, people will have to admit that the stuff filled with X is just some fantasy based on reality, some familiar things, some substitutes for real X. Once the imaginary scene of mutant killing was captured without distinction, it was not as shocking as the scene imagined in the mind.
But when the weird opening song sounded, when Mulder and Scully rushed to the scene of the crime again, I will still follow them, whether they are hunting ghosts or discovering some incredible creatures awakening from the freezing. Either he was chasing the little green man's heel, or he was despised by the staff of various other departments and was severely repaired by the high-level government. The children who were easily frightened by the various shocking scenes in their brains, looking back at this popular old drama of the year, felt not only the exquisite horror, the ultimate horror, but also the warmth and deep touch. When I was young, I could not sleep at night for the mysterious creatures in the play, and now I am deeply moved by the Mulder and Scully in the play. Two little FBI agents, facing the unknown X, are like two little ants facing the tsunami. However, they never stopped pursuing the truth, never stopped doubting in the past, and never stopped believing in the past: The truth is out there. I want to believe. When tired or in crisis, two people trust and support each other. I have always believed that they have a more precious and deeper relationship than love. It is a relationship that can still trust each other in the face of the unknown darkness. The analysis of their relationship estimates that another article can be written.
In short, the exploration of the unknown, the love of the truth, and the deep trust between people, these forever classic themes are cleverly combined into the "X Files", creating the excitement and success of "X Files".
