As a rotten British drama, the old girl has been looking forward to the stars and the moon since the beginning of the year.
Not to mention the halo of the original author's addition, the " anti-routine " setting alone is very exciting.
Speaking of the Western God Realm, what is the first reaction in your heart?
Weiguang is too bad, an angel who preaches love and peace?
Dark and gloomy to terrifying, the devil who always loves soul trading?
No, no, in "Good Omens", each of these non-human creatures is super unethical.
For example, the kind, innocent looking angel, Raphael .
In the "Bible", the words described are nothing more than: cheerful, steady, loving.
However, under this solemn and loving appearance, Raphael's daily life is actually——
Eat and wait to die .
My favorite thing every day is to hide in the world and eat and drink .
In order to eat, at the peak of beheadings by French nobles, regardless of the risk of being caught, I went to find pure crepes.
As a result, not only did the crepe not eat, but he was also arrested as a nobleman.
In the end, I can only sit in prison and worry about how to rescue myself reasonably .
In addition to eating, occasionally have a little bad temper .
When a ticket is issued, it will secretly poke and blow up the paper in the hand of the issuer.
Of course there is a bit of "rebellious".
Secretly, he would secretly break the rules and chat with a demon named Crowley .
This chat is 6000 years .
em...
This stills...
Speaking of this demon Crowley, like Raphael, who is slightly "different" among the angels, he is also a rare "outlier" in the Satan party .
As soon as you come out, you will bring your own BGM.
The coquettish walking posture, the fragrant evil spirit hidden in the soul, the arrogant domineering temperament:
Compared with the other demons connected with him, it is simply NO.1 among the demons.
Other Demons: They're all demons, why don't I deserve a name? ?
When he does bad things, he keeps pace with the times faster than other demons.
Compared to tempting humans, it is more advanced to cut off the electricity in the whole city.
(Although I ended up pitting myself)
However, as a demon, Crowley has only appearances, but no pure black heart.
I often complain to Raphael in some major events, whether your family has done too much.
For example, the gods are constantly punished, and the continent is constantly flooded (Noah's Ark).
Even more demons than demons.
Two non-human creatures who complained a little to their bosses lived in the world while leading the tasks given by the boss.
It has lived here for thousands of years.
Until the son of Satan came to the world and broke the peace of this world.
The Son of Satan, who came with the mission of destroying the world, was handed over to Crowley by the demons.
Not only does Crowley have to make the Son of Satan thrive, but he also has to instill a world-destroying ethos in him.
In this regard, of course, heaven will not sit still.
They sent Raphael to intervene.
Raphael, who was used to "Little Lucky", almost cried when he saw this task.
The food and books in the world are the joy of his life.
Looking at the crying angel, the demon Crowley backhanded a suggestion of "how to hide from the boss, stop Satan from blackening, and destroy the world" .
The spirit of the proposal can be roughly summed up as - each perform its own duties .
That is, what to do.
Angels spread truth, goodness and beauty——
Where's my sweet angel? ? ?
How did you become a groundhog?
The devil spreads false and ugly—
The good influence and the bad influence are a combination of two phases.
Rao is the son of Satan and will become the son of ordinary people.
Just like every ordinary human being with good and evil , while evil grows into courage, he is also a law-abiding and good citizen.
As for how to deceive the boss, it is so easy.
As a modern world of gods, whether it is heaven or hell, angels or demons, they are actually just employees in different companies .
Making reports, adding fuel to vinegar, this kind of common way of perfunctory tasks in the world, has long since subtly influenced hell.
This kind of brain hole that subverts the belief system and "corporatizes" heaven and hell is really rare in film and television dramas.
And the character description of "anti-routine" subverts our cognition of "God" .
For example, the nuns who were originally supposed to be sent by God are actually a church where demons are stationed in the world.
The witch, who was originally thought to be evil, has been exhausted to prevent the destruction of the world.
What's more, it's the main line of the story.
Two days before the countdown to the end of the world, angels and demons discovered that they were " happy fathers ".
The "son" they had raised for eleven years was not the son of Satan.
The two agreed to cancel each other out, and Satan becomes ordinary?
What about the solemn, sacred, and grand "war between gods"? !
Such a ridiculous reversal also makes the story of the drama full of fun imagination .
And the most exciting are angels and demons, the "traitors" in the two hostile camps, who have spanned 6,000 years, can't help but want to take care of each other's "friendship".
Called the world's first.
All kinds of famous scenes were so exciting that the old girl almost couldn't watch it anymore.
Because every 10 minutes you have to stop and calm down for a while.
Demons who are selfish, impatient, and not very interested in food on weekdays often do things that they are not usually able to do because of angels' preferences.
For example, watching the angel eat, and giving the angel's favorite "Hamlet" a standing ticket.
When the angel was cheated by selling books and was about to be killed, he didn't care about the hot foot feeling in the church, and stepped on the tap dance to come to the rescue.
Threatening others handsomely, and daring to do something, just put dynamite on this place.
Churches that have become hot due to incompatible attributes
Even the escape plan when he was finally discovered by the boss had already been thought out.
And angels who seem to be too soft will also be petty to demons because of their concern.
For example, when the devil gives out a small note that he wants holy water, he is worried that the holy water will "kill" the devil, but he can't convince the devil not to touch it, so he turns around and walks away.
In the end, he couldn't resist. He was worried that the devil would go to the church to steal holy water, so he had to put a thermos cup for him.
Such a arrogant angel with a soft and waxy appearance, and a demon who is arrogant but spoils the arrogant angel, the role is actually very difficult to grasp.
If you are not careful, it may be a performance accident that is different from the four.
But when the episode was not released, when the information on the selection of the demon characters appeared, the old girl was extremely relieved.
After all, David Tennant, who played the devil Crowley, is the little ten in "Doctor Who" and the perverted purple Kilgrave in "Jessica Jones".
For the coquettish and domineering devil who is cold outside and hot inside, and loves rock and roll , it is definitely within his grasp.
On the contrary, it is more worrying to have the plush Mike Sheen in "Master of Sex" and become a little angel Raphael.
But as soon as the episode comes out...
Angel Raphael, it should be Mike Sheen!
In addition to the two leading actors whose acting skills can overwhelm the characters, the supporting roles are equally as good .
Jon Hamm 's version, Archangel Gabriel.
Beneath the serious appearance, there is a secret excitement about the start of the war.
And long-faced Benny, you won't even recognize him as a monster after watching the entire show.
The monster's face, obviously the proportions are wrong!
And our old friends, Volume 2 and Chubby from "Secret No. 9".
Meeting these familiar faces like recognizing Easter eggs is like rowing.
In addition to the actors, the original author of the play, Neil Gaiman , also has to be mentioned.
As a master of European and American fantasy literature, his works that have been continuously put on the screen in recent years, "American Gods" and "Stars", are enough to prove his ability to think.
Coupled with the "sarcastic Tolkien" Terry Pratchett co-operating with him, a single script is enough to win.
(Of course, don't read the domestic translation version, you will feel clueless after reading it)
In the scripts of these two people, teasing is daily.
Whether it is a combination of British complaints of various historical events, or the "what the ???" irony of their respective leaders , they are all full of "subversion" .
This subversion makes you understand that gods are not extremely good, and they also have a "desire" side.
Demons are not extremely evil, and they also have a side that can't bear it.
What it wants to express is actually a balance of good and evil .
Excessive repression of moral "kindness" can easily lead to resistance.
This resistance is not temporary, but gradually accumulated.
Therefore, the devil will say that his "fallen sky" is not a fall, but a slow walk down.
This divine nature is actually human nature.
Therefore, as long as good and evil can be well balanced, even if a world disaster is coming, it is not a bad omen prediction that needs to be feared.
