The Kurt fans who came after "Luke Cage" felt a lot of energy when they saw the title of the show. After watching the current three episodes, I decided to write this drama.
S101: Three protagonists appear one after another, corresponding to three different types of beliefs. Dr. Kristen's forensic psychology gives her fairness, evidence and science. David Acosta is a bit like an "ascetic", a devout believer, who believes in God, Ben's naive tech house, an atheist, all unreasonable technical solutions can be found.
Rather than saying that these three people represent every world view, it is better to say that the cognitions of these three people together constitute the world.
This is also what I am very interested in. There will definitely be questions and challenges to each other's beliefs. Let's see how these three people face it.
It is also the first time that the core values of the entire drama in this episode have been po out.
Science can only explain things that repeat, but the vast majority of life, the most interesting parts, don't repeat, so science can't explain that.
From the surface of the "main line" in the first episode, the murderer used "possession" to give himself a reason to escape, but there are a few key words "God, George, Illusion and the 60" that will definitely attract attention , so I guess, the routine of the first season's plot should be: the three protagonists receive tasks from the NPC archbishop to earn gold coins, and when they receive the gold coins, they discover the conspiracy hidden in the real world. It is also from this episode that George and the lawyer appear, and they must not be able to get in touch with the 60-member group.
S102: I think this episode will be more controversial. I will not talk about the "resurrection" thing. What I want to talk about is the discussion of "invisible racism" in this short story. When David holds a stack of When the information stands when the white dean (should be an agent of the hospital or something) speaks out about invisible racism, I think it's so awesome, black people are charismatic and reasoning with white people, this is not so special" Contemporary Lincoln"
S103 This episode discusses anger management and AI smart technology. Personally, I feel that the change of the old man is a bit sudden. There is no reason for him to suddenly become a little sheep from anger and poisonous tongue. However, the simple discussion of AI smart technology is still let I feel its horror, because my home also uses various smart homes, if it is hacked by boring hackers, and then resells personal usage habits to those e-commerce platforms, it will be too scary, also from this episode, " IT" began to become super active (hide the voice under the speaker, I don't know if it's a man or a woman, or use IT instead, I feel that Ben's sister has also buried a hole, maybe this season will unfold, but If it's me, I won't start it, and I'll talk about it in the second season)
S104 This episode contains a lot of information, so let's go first. There is such a shot at the beginning of this episode. I think this shot is a strong suggestive shot. I originally thought it would hook up with the little handsome guy who had problems. From a scientific point of view, it was explained that he had obstacles to reality and virtuality. There is a way to distinguish between virtual and reality, because there is a plot about David discussing the comic plot with the little boy later, I repeatedly compared the close-up of the little boy's shoes in the film, and found that it is not, so I am a little confused about this.
This episode has what I think is the creepiest scene in the current 4 episodes. The little boy is in the C position, behind the blinds that leak light. He sits calmly among the three adults. The calmness is terrifying.
When the three of them talked to the parents of the little boy, there were a few very interesting details, and they felt that they had a very important connection with the subsequent plot.
The little boy had 12 examinations
There are 23 different types
2 admissions to a mental hospital
3 times the police entered the school
taken away for 1 week
Next, I boldly open my mind. These numbers correspond to "12 disciples, Psalm 23, 2 men who shared the crucifixion with Jesus, the 3rd day of resurrection, 7 is the perfection", it is worth mentioning The thing is that the author of Psalm 23 is David (not David in this play), and because of the comfort and blessing mentioned in this Psalm, Psalm 23 becomes an important part of the funeral ceremony.
At the end of this episode, David and Kristen each showed extremely distressed looks, so I guess there must be some meaning in the previous pile of numbers. This meaning must have something to do with religion, and it must be related to the next 60 people and David's Illusions are related, but to explain why, I guess it may be to make the world feel pain (somewhat far-fetched)
If my previous conjecture is correct, and solving the case is just an introduction to advance the development of the plot, then the real main line also appeared in this episode, and the "IT" in the audio in the previous episode has a real appearance this time, she Begin to suggest that Kristen's children do some actions, I guess it should be to lift some taboo rituals, so as to further liberate something (I don't think IT is George, because George can directly in Kristen and Lara's dream There is no need to hide in the sound, and there is no need to transform into this little girl)
Summarize:
To sum up, this show is trying to explain through reasonable dimensions in unreasonable events, such as psychology, science and psychoanalysis, but reasonableness only constitutes 50% of the world, and it is unknown or temporarily unavailable. It is the 50% that is explained that attracts more people to explore it. When mutual beliefs are hedged, no one is right, and no one is all.
Judging from the current development of the plot, the follow-up should be the same as my guess. On the basis of building a good world view and values, it will deviate more from religion. In fact, this idea is quite a conspiracy theory, but I really recommend this movie. The drama, 40 minutes of information is enough, and the discussion of the content of the case is also deep enough.
Continue the analysis after updating the plot. . . .
Make up:
I updated the fifth episode yesterday. I didn't watch it because I watched "The Young Us" last night and thought about writing it. I just finished it at noon today, so I won't talk nonsense, let's talk about the plot.
S105:
If there are two words to describe this episode, it must be [conflict], or three lines, parallel montage. One is on Ben, who follows the "Ghost Filming" team to visit strip clubs to shoot ghosts, a conflict between skeptics and "Real Documentary Ghost Films"; one is on Kristen's family, where a bad psychologist starts hooking up with Kristen's old man. Damn, and put the burnt "Brenda" into the house. It's a conflict between Kristen's close people and a conspiracy. One of the new cases is a conflict between Kristen and David. It's a conflict between science and religion.
In fact, from a comprehensive point of view, on Ben's narrative line, the skeptics broke the so-called supernatural, and science won; on the line between the Kristen family and "Brenda", there was no confrontation. I think this is like an early warning, It hints at the start of "The 60 or David's Vision"; in David's line, religion successfully confronts psychology, and religion wins.
Like a cycle, science and religion are both part of the world, and the world is not just black and white. I personally agree with this worldview, just like the slogan I made for a bookstore before, "The world is what it is, not what I am. wish".
The contradictions and conflicts in this episode are constantly intensifying. The skeptic Ben successfully broke the barrier and the psychologist Kristen received a demonstration from "IT". Neither of them has yet expanded their cognitive boundaries, but the development of the event has accelerated significantly. Now, "IT" has begun to act. It is expected that in the next episode, Kristen should reveal to David some supernatural events that have developed in her and her family, and the world view has begun to be impacted.
In this episode, Ben said a few words when he was being tricked, which touched me a lot. Nothing is fake, just like nothing is true, nothing is complete, just like nothing is incomplete, I have always felt that the relationship between people and the times is also an intimate relationship. The relationship is far away and left behind by the times. No matter how much you chase it, you will always be separated from it by an invisible barrier. I remember being punished by my teacher for writing a review when I was a child. At the age of three, I suddenly understood that my relationship with the world is the relationship between me and my heart, not to be happy with things or to be sad about myself.
S106: (Some friends saw that this episode has a subtitle called "790")
Ps: I don't want to go into too much detail on the plot, but I want to dig some details and hints (please forgive me)
Key words: Prophecy
Doubtful Keywords: 790, red, lucid dreaming, Codex Poville, flames, Adriatic Sea, salamander brandy
Doubt 1: 790
I think the subtitle 790 is alluding to a theme, and in the process of collecting information, I still haven't been able to find out what the 790 on the left actually means.
This bothers me a little bit, not sure if the direction is right, assuming it's right: someone has a part of Jesus' divinity and a part of humanity. (In this episode, this person is Lin)
Ps: Please correct me if I misinterpret 790
Doubt 2: Red
There are five colors with different meanings in Christianity: red, white, black and gray, each representing sacrifice or sacred solemnity, holiness, splendor, judgment, and death.
It is worth mentioning that the beginning and end of the film are almost covered by these colors, which is very worth pondering.
Lin gave Kristen a very specific prediction, that is, to avoid contact with red for 7 days, never expected the most dangerous red to be her mother, very much looking forward to the next episode to see how this red flower is sacrificed.
Doubt 3: Lucid dreaming
This is an explanation given by Kristen's doctor, and I have also collected some information. Lucid dreaming can be simply and crudely understood as: You know that you are dreaming in a dreaming state. (Of course it's not that simple, just easy to understand)
This is actually a very difficult statement, judging from the results of cultural anthropology and psychological research: Lucid dreaming more means a kind of subconscious imagination and authority in the dream to confront and conquer danger.
Kristen also used this method, starting with "George" for some confrontation.
But when I saw this place, my doubts began to increase, and even overturned all my previous thinking, that is, "Is the previous plot really happening or Kristen's subconscious confrontation"?
Let's think about it again. The title of the play is "Evil". There are various things that can represent evil in the current 6 episodes, but are these really evil? Compared with these evils, it seems that "people" are more evil, because the most terrible thing is people and not things, religion, racism, ghosts, murder, so-called mental illness, if these are all concepts or sayings established by people , the original world and values have been completely deconstructed (like Borges' lottery conjecture), can this become the greatest evil? if it is like this,
So it means that David and Ben are more like a personality with certain values split from Kristen, a confrontational conquest with the world we know, which has a strong discussion of conspiracy theories.
Doubt 4: The Code of Poville
I tried to find information about this code, but unfortunately, could not prove that this code actually exists.
Because this codex has the attributes of prophecy, I prefer that this codex is an extension of part of the Bible.
In the process of looking for information, it was found that the island of Poville was an "island of exile", and it was the center of exile of the Black Death in the Middle Ages in Europe.
(Interested friends can learn about the Black Death in Europe, and you will feel very cult and charming with the punk image of "Doctor Bird's Beak")
Doubt 5: Fire
Before the end of the episode, Kristen's mother was having sex with a mysterious fire that burned.
When I saw this, I suddenly thought of Dante's "The Divine Comedy". In the second layer of the hell chapter, the crime is indulgence. In the purgatory chapter, the way to wash indulgence is to burn with fire.
I don't want to interpret this fire as redemption here, it's actually more like a "deal", instead of listening to Kristen's words to understand the truth, stay away from the devil, but embrace the temptation and commit the sin of indulgence.
Doubt 6: Adriatic Sea
This is a real place, half Italian and half N countries. But these are not important, there are nearly 1,200 islands in the sea, and only 69 people.
69 has several possible meanings in Christianity, 1. The brutal burning of Christians during Nero’s reign 2. The 69th Psalm of the Messiah, I feel more in this part of the plot, Leland’s words are like A hint at the end of Mama Kristen.
The Burning of Nero: In AD 64, Emperor Nero was brutal to Christianity. According to the account of the Roman historian Tacitus (about 56-120A.D.) at that time, on July 19, 64 AD, a fire broke out in the city of Rome, which burned for six days and six nights, destroying the fourteen The district burned ten districts. The residents of Rome generally believed that Emperor Nero set the fire. In order to eliminate the people's doubts about him, he pushed the crime of arson to the Christians and punished them with extremely cruel methods. In the arena, many Christians were forced to wear animal skins to make them look like beasts, and then a group of hounds were released, tearing them apart and biting them to death. This group of martyrs in the arena was considered a lucky group; for the rest, Emperor Nero ordered his subordinates to bundle them with hay, make torches, arrange them in the garden, and burn them at night to illuminate Nero. Emperor Lu's garden party.
Doubt 7: Salamander Brandy
It is said that there is a mysterious drink in a small country in Eastern Europe called Salamander Brandy. It is said that after drinking it, in addition to violent hallucinations, it is also accompanied by extremely exaggerated fetishes; whether it is a washing machine, neon lights, electric fans, Ferris wheel, it can make you Fascinated by heart beating
Leland also gave a corresponding explanation.
This drink appeared in "Cultural History of Immorality and Morality" (an interesting non-serious cultural history of invincible nonsense.) For example, it is explained that DM is never debauchery and smoking, but artificial restraint. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the DM is right, but the wrong thing is that the DM is not used as a human being in the right way.
Ps: I believe that the author of this play must have reached a certain consensus with the author of "The History of Immoral Culture" to some extent.
