Spoilers involved! !
Another anxious to watch a movie and TV series recommended by netizens because of looking for a job. At first I didn't feel much when I saw the title and poster, until I saw that the screenwriter was Neil Gaiman (1960--), briefly introduced that he is the most dazzling star rising in the European and American literary circles in the past ten years, and is regarded as a new Representative of a generation of fantasy literature. His work spans fantasy, science fiction, horror, children's fiction, comics, and lyrics. (I specifically checked Baidu Encyclopedia for a more detailed introduction. If you want to know more, you can check it out.) I watched a movie lecture before, mentioned Neil Gaman, gave a high evaluation, and shared a few of his writings. The characters in the story are vivid, this is the first impression. The first movie I saw of him was "Stardust". It was too imaginative to hear the name. The fantasy of a girl made of a star in space and so on. The whole plot is also very interesting. Basically know Neil Gaiman through this movie, and his other books such as "Sandman: A Midsummer Night's Dream" ("Sandman" is a series of comics), "American Gods", "Caroline" ("Ghost Mom") "It was later made into an animation) and so on. So when I saw the name Neil Gaiman, my eyes lit up and I wanted to know what kind of magical story this is. Let's take a look at this British drama. (Additionally, I did my homework yesterday. "Good Omens" was jointly written by two fantasy writers, Neil Gaiman and "Disc World" author Terry Pratchett. Interested friends can learn about the author )
Let’s not talk about the plot first, let’s talk about the title first, I like the animation of the title very much, haha the image of two black and white angels, the devil is in front, the angel is in the back, walking with exaggerated long legs, 2D in front The way of illustrations and puzzles, followed by 3D production. Because I liked this title so much, I went to the studio where the title was made, and all the ideas and stories for making this title. The titles were produced by Peter Anderson Studio. and features the music of composer David Arnold. Combining the series' characters, humor and surreal tone with 3D objects, live-action elements and original 2D illustrations, the sequence finds a sweet spot between illustrator Dave McKean and director animator Terry Gilliam's quirky collages. For Peter Anderson Studio, achieving this aesthetic meant diving into biblical media and medieval art like the Bayeux Tapestry, photographing its own live-action elements on travelers, making space suits and original illustrations, then blend them into a subtle "bonks" dressing. (This paragraph is translated from Google’s website. Those with English ability can read the original text, or if you want to go deeper into the production, you can also choose the website translation to see it. It’s really interesting. There are specific ideas about the production of this title. , The production method, how to do it creatively, I hope that every time the audience starts the film, there will be a different harvest, every detail has its own stalk, I really like their production, the music, characters, light, and various character stories are interspersed , the original address https://www.artofthetitle.com/title/good-omens/ )
At first I thought it was a story about saving the end of the world, but at the end it was a story of love that transcends everything, angels and so-called demons, adoptive parents and children they carried, the son of Satan who wants to destroy the earth and his children on earth, witches And witch hunters, stubborn old witch hunters and strange psychics. If there is love there is a miracle.
The incarnation of the cute angel Az and the apple-eating snake that lured Eve - the story of the little devil Crowley who came to earth to complete the tasks given by God and Satan. Why is the devil called cute, because the whole plot is about the angel cute being rescued by Crodo in various situations, and suddenly thought of Romeo and Juliet, hahaha is really appropriate, although they belong to two camps, but it does not hinder They have "love associations". Angel cutie can often solve his own problems through spells, but his argument is how can I do things that hurt others as an angel. Including the "bullet" smudges on his clothes by the real CS player, he has to act coquettishly for Crodo to remove it. It's really cute, with a slightly coquettish tone and an obvious hint of "you Hurry up and help others", hahaha, Crowley is also willing to help him do these things in such a role, maybe this can help him to be a demon angel - I am a demon, and the evil things are left to me. The actor of Crowley - David Tennant, David Tennant, is really a lady with a style, a unique British style, a bohemian and just right ruffian, with his black sunglasses with his personal logo, can control all kinds of heads. Type, long, short, curly, lanky, cool and expressive. Although he is a demon angel, he wondered many times throughout the play why he was demoted to a demon angel because he had doubts about some things. In fact, this piece is compared with the cute angel who said that angels can only do good things, that is, some so-called righteous methods may be hypocritical, and the truth may sometimes be suppressed. This is to tell the truth through works, no matter which era or which It is possible to say the truth in major events is to be "degraded". It's like it can't be revealed to the world.
In addition to this cuteness, there is also his nostalgia or long-term love. It will be destroyed on earth. They can't find the son of Satan. They don't know what the future will be. Everywhere, in times of crisis, give little cutie a place to rest. His Bentley, who had been driving for a long time, crossed the fire to save the little angel (really went through fire and water), and was destroyed in front of Crowley's eyes after completing the mission. Even if the angel cutie talks to him, he has no time to think about being trapped in the sadness of the car being destroyed.
The son of Satan, who was swaddled by mistake, grew up happily and normally in a small remote village in England, and no one knew what would happen in the future. He and his friends, in the woods near the village, played the role of kings and messengers, and everything was so meaningful. When I saw it at the time, I remembered the story of Mao Buyi. He said on the show that he asked his friends to call him a superstar, and then the story became known to everyone, and even his other song title was realized - "If there is a" One day I became rich", oh my god, I'm really rich, it's destined, so it will definitely come true, then if you meditate on being rich (law of attraction) every day, no matter if you're destined to be or not Rich? ? Back to the topic, the reason why the son of Satan became the son of Satan is that in the process of the witch looking for the son of Satan in order to prevent this disaster from starting, the unrecognized son of Satan - Adam Yang inadvertently recounted his evaluation of human beings , how humans do evil, self-destruct. In this play, it can only be understood as coming, not only can't stop it, but also take the initiative to send points. It feels like another irony here. Those who are supposed to save disasters are creating disasters invisibly. It's really realistic. Why is reality always more magical than a magical story? In addition, I am still thinking about how to tell children of this age what people are doing now and how to face the negative situation in this world. How can we make them understand whether the world is good or bad, and how can we prevent them from being placed in negative emotions and understanding, and lead them to a better way to solve and understand these things.
In the last episode, everyone is "saving" the earth, and the angels representing God and Satan's representative works besides asking why humans are not fighting, the army of angels and demons are ready to fight, yes, even God doesn't care about human beings Prosperity depends only on whether the angels win or not. As written in "Lao Tzu", the heaven and the earth are indifferent, and all things are regarded as dogs, and the heaven and the earth are not based on the will of man (all things), and the rise and fall of all things will not prevent it from running. It is both cold and helpless. , He is all He.
In the play, there are several questions, one is where the original ambassador's child is, who is raising it, and whether the title of the film "Good Omens" is a foreshadowing of the ending. Anything that seems bad may have a good chance. At the end, because the beginning is about how evil this thing is, how anxious the forces of all parties are, but at the end the matter is resolved, and Romeo and Juliet are together. Happy ending.
In addition to the wide-ranging brain holes in the various scenes in the play, it is really ironic that Heaven punishes Heaven for using hellfire and punishes Crowley for the holy water borrowed by Heaven. You never know if the black you know is black or not, and the white is white.
Other netizens commented that there are more details in the novel.
Make up a few stills, hahaha, most of them are from Crowley, so charming
