here Firefly, Carnivale and Taken are currently over in the five episodes, and SG1 will be over soon, only BSG will go all the way!
Below I have made some connections and comparisons with them.
I have always been deeply impressed by the old sense of the times created by the Carnivale scene; for BSG, I felt that the scene was also very successful in the previous seasons, but in order to know where the success is, I finally realized it in the third season. , Is the kind of simple and refreshing, between warm and cold, but in fact it still feels cold in the end—much like the feeling of Tao’s "Lonely City" MV, this is a kind of lonely orphan in space The hue-although there will be many stars in space. As far as the third season is concerned, the character modeling is almost perfect, such as the heavy "packaging" of the old man Captain Tigh, Lee's amazing transformation (I was very surprised when I saw that big belly!!! ), and then there is the selection of Cylon actors, whether they are men, women or old men! ! !
In these five episodes, the internal qualities of BSG and Carnivale are actually very similar. The art is done very well, the picture feels very good, the soundtrack is also impeccable, and it is invariably covered with a layer of religion. The colors of, all vaguely convey to us a deep sense of fate and mission.
For all Cylons, it is more of a sense of fate for them, an unknown sense of fate urges them to look for something, which is their "PLAN" at the beginning of the story; and for humans For them, it is more about the traction of the sense of mission, the sense of mission for saving the human race; and for the characters like Baltar, Sharont and Number6, they are mixed between their respective races, plus The emotional factors of each person make them struggle to choose between a sense of destiny and a sense of mission. In a sense, I think that Baltar’s unusually contradictory role is quite successful. I think ordinary people It's all like this. There are always wanderings and imbalances between individuals and groups. There have been such scenes several times in the plot of BSG. For example, at the end of the second season and the beginning of the third season, Baltar's tears , The tears of doing it, knowing it can’t be done, just like a child, I know it’s wrong to do this, but I don’t want to be hurt, I only do it once—then the first time there will be the second time, But I shed tears every time. In fact, the character of Baltar is very similar to the killer in "Crying Killer" who shed tears for each other every time he kills. For both of them, there is a sense of mission or destiny or hint or drive. Ask them to do things they didn’t want to do.
In terms of soundtrack, Firefly is the closest to BSG, both of which are based on Celtic music. The era setting of Firefly is very similar to Cowboy Bebop. Generally, SF's space story is probably set in this way, so the most important thing at this time is almost not the plot itself, but the rhythm of storytelling and Rong Zhi’s dialogue. This is Firefly. The director of Joss Whedon is as good as CB's supervisor Shinichiro Watanabe, the same western style, the same leisurely rhythm, and the director's taste for music is quite outstanding-Shinichiro Watanabe is a person with a very outstanding musical taste, such as Choose hip-hop in Samurai Champloo, and choose Jazz and Rock in Cowboy Bebop; and JW is a person with a very strange musical taste. This feeling probably comes from Buffly’s soundtrack, metal, POP, and it seems that it can’t be combined with a vampire story. , It feels very uncomfortable, but after watching it, you will feel that such an arrangement of fantasy stories in the form of campus dramas may be the most appropriate. In Firefly, you can fully understand that JW’s understanding of music is How outstanding, the space plus Celtic soundtrack, it seems to be far away, soothing and passionate. In this point, for example, in the BSGs03ep03, the scene where Adama and Lee bid farewell to tears, this is the music-this is Kyle. A feeling of special music, and another feeling of Celtic music, a sense of mission, a sense of heaviness, such as the atmosphere of the battle, hearing such drums, even if the battle has not started, we know that it will be triggered !
In these five episodes, the subject matter involving space includes all four episodes except Carnivale, so the topic we are going to talk about now is the part of air combat. As mentioned earlier, Firefly's story is mainly about the rhythm of the story, and it can't be compared with CB's air combat; and Taken does not involve this aspect at all; so the main thing is the comparison between BSG and SG1. Basically, SG1 air combat does not involve the issue of rhythm. Its air combat is only for the needs of the plot or just to bring a climax, just like the massive Antarctic defense battle; while the BSG air combat is more focused on Details, and details are often a means to reproduce a certain reality. In the details of the BSG air combat, more attention is paid to the speculation and depiction of the character's psychology during the air combat, rather than the specific battle scenes. The characters and the two fighters between the air combat are recorded in a documentary-style shaking camera view, which is even more impressive. To an unprecedented sense of reality, it also brings BSG to the height of a space epic!
From the perspective of epic height and realism, the several episodes in my TOP5 will be BSG, Carnivale and Taken. We have talked about the relationship between BSG and Carnivale. Now let’s talk about what the story brings to us. Enlightenment-comparison of philosophical enlightenment, comparison between Taken and BSG. People who have seen Taken will be impressed. Every word that the little girl says to us will make people can’t help but bring deep thoughts; for a story like BSG, the story itself is a story that can make people think about it. The philosophy of the machine, between people, between Cylon and cylon, between people and Cylon, opposition, coexistence, love, friendship, father-son affection, mother-child affection...I noticed the subtitles of the recent episodes Comrades will put a meaningful sentence from Captain Adama before the start of the story, and be handsome! SO SAY WE ALL! The highest BSG! ! ! (Text/len calvin)
PS. But if it is now, Doctor Who is definitely the best choice for Firefly and Battlestar Galactica in the top three!
