Today, let's talk about the American drama "Erase Season 1".
The title of the film is Undone Season 1 (2019), alias Undone / Mystery from Time and Space.
This original series from Amazon tells a mind-blowing story.
The heroine, Alma, was living her life in a hurry. One day, she was injured in a car accident and was hospitalized. After being admitted to the hospital, Alma found that not only could she communicate with her long-dead father, but she also had the ability to control time.
At the invitation of her father, Alma began to find out the truth of her father's mysterious death.
"Bojack Horseman" writer Katie Purdy is a co-writer on the show.
She has been living in Guadalajara, Mexico since she was a child, and has always been interested in shamanic medicine, so she made the show based on shamanism.
The show's screenwriters, which also include mixed-Hispanic Joanna Calo and Lauren Otero, consulted with experts in Mesoamerican tribal traditions during the production process to ensure the original Authentic shaman.
The story of the show takes place in San Antonio. The opening scene is downtown San Antonio, Texas.
You'll also see some other landmarks, such as the River Walk in the city center.
The Catholic church in the play is St. Anthony de Padua, a real Catholic church.
"Erase and Start Again" is the first non-short TV series in which each episode is animated using rotoscoping animation.
Rotary drawing technology animation originated in Hollywood in the last century. It first shoots live content, then draws it into two-dimensional images, and finally makes animations. It is widely used in the fields of film and animation.
The advantage of this technology is that it saves time and effort, and can complete smooth character movements at a lower cost.
Thanks to rotoscoping technology, the live-action filming of the show was entirely done on a 12-foot-square black sound stage, with minimal set design and props.
For example, when shooting a car scene, the actors are in the car seats, the steering wheel is on the C-bracket, and nothing else.
Starring Rosa Salazar said that she likes this way of shooting, so that she can complete multiple scenes with the fastest speed, without wasting time waiting for sets.
The rotoscoping technology has achieved remarkable results in saving money. The play has a wild imagination, and many scenes and transitions are full of magic. If you do not use animation, but real shooting and computer special effects, the cost will increase infinitely.
The play has also won many awards for its technical characteristics and unique thinking about life and death.
"Erase and Come Again" won the 30th Annecy International Animation Festival TV and Advertising Animation Unit TV Series Jury Award, as well as the 10th American Critics' Choice TV Award for Best Animated Series, and the 29th Gotham Independent Film Award Two nominations for Best Breakout Series (Short Miniseries).
Rosa Sala (Rose Salazar) should be an actor we are more familiar with, she has starred in "Battle Angel Alita".
Rosa Sara plays her sister Alma and Angelique Cabral plays her sister Becca.
The actual age of the actors is reversed, with Rosa Sara six years younger than Angelique Cabral.
Much of the discussion about "Erase and Start Again" has focused on the truth of the story.
Whether what Alma sees and feels is real, she has shaman-like superpowers, or is Alma a schizophrenic patient who has been suppressing her emotions for a long time.
The play only shows what Alma has seen and heard, and does not show other people's perspectives.
My opinion is that Alma has the super power of a shaman to travel through time. She can travel between different times, but she can't change things yet, she can only change what has happened through other people's actions.
In the eyes of outsiders, explaining Alma's behavior with schizophrenia is very simple and easy, as long as she has a broken mind, she can explain everything.
But from the key evidence, Alma was able to go back in time and see what happened in her father's laboratory and the specific content of the car accident, which is enough to prove that she can travel through time.
There is no direct depiction of her dad coming out at the end of the season, and if it is left for the second season, it will prove that Alma has superpowers.
Alma has been busy for so long, in fact, to explain one thing: live the moment is the truth.
Even if Alma can change the past, if she doesn't know how to cherish it, she will still feel like a walking dead.
Through her own fantasy experience, Alma achieved reconciliation with her mother and sister, as well as with herself. This is the biggest gain. Even if Dad can't reappear in the end, at least Alma's life has a livelihood.
travel through time for you,
Find the meaning of life.
