The core of all stories is the surrounding society

The original cast of Rick and Morty still has the same taste. The main characters have no bright spots, and even some of them are familiar to us. After all, the production team is there. So when we look at aliens and refugees in the hope of seeing a show that surpasses Rick and Morty, you are likely to be disappointed. After all, they are only in the first season, but if you lower your expectations, you can see some different points.

The show doesn't have a storyline. And the two main characters are also very similar to Rick and Morty, and they have an inner taste.

What is worth paying attention to in the play is the development of the wall country. The wall country is a place similar to an ant box where the alien children prank the human beings and keep them small. Inevitably, hegemony emerged in the wall country. After the warriors led the masses to kill the dragon, the warriors became the dragons. This is a drama that has been played out in human society since historical records. But it's ridiculous here, because they see the real enemy - the aliens as gods, but point the finger at their fellow citizens. However, when you aim the contradiction at the same kind, you ignore the actual common external enemy, because at this moment, it has nothing to do with the continuation of the race, and the common enemy faced by this group is this evil dragon. From this point of view, the history of mankind is so vain, the dragons are so sad, and all living beings are equally sad.

It is worth noting that, because of the wall country, let's call it a small country, people live in prisons within an artificially delimited range. At the end of the story, when the perspective is constantly changing, from the small box, to the block, to the city, to the country, to the planet, who knows that we are not the group that was raised and studied. When we stand in this perspective, we can better appreciate the sadness mentioned above.

However, the flame will not go out, someone will always pass the flame on. Spread the fire? brother.

Of course, other themes, such as feminism, the teacher of the two children in the play, assign tasks, and find out the story of breaking the ceiling of women. But in fact, this matter has turned sour. Slogans for slogans' sake, and everything is put on a hat, but in fact, no one has ever thought about the substance. After all, people may have had a good time by themselves, but when you say it so suddenly, these special groups are suddenly isolated, neither entering nor exiting, after all, ordinary people only want a good life, who cares about you don't admit me. The change of concept has always been bottom-up. First of all, everyone's cognition should feel that this is not a thing, instead of constantly talking about NMSL, it is not right to be different from me. In particular, we should be wary of the slogan-style propaganda. Unthought questions are always questionable. The mouth is full of doctrine, and the backside is all business.

It has to be admitted that the progress of society still requires the transformation of most people's ideas to complete the initial steps. Otherwise, the change in the system will only return to the original path. It can be seen from the inertia of five thousand years. History is a cycle here. Just because the minds of most people in society still retain the old ideas. Therefore, this kind of criticism and thinking is still necessary, think rationally and independently, and look at it critically.

There is also the discussion of racism. Two alien children, as refugees or immigrants, always take the blame at school for no reason, not because of what he did, but because of his identity. There is a lot of criticism in the play.

Still worth seeing.

Solar Opposites quotes

  • Korvo: [Opening Narration] Planet Shlorp was a perfect utopia. Until the asteroid hit. One hundred adults and their replicants were issued a Pupa and escaped into, uh, the space, searching for new homes on uninhabited worlds. We crashed on Earth, stranding us on an already overpopulated planet. That's right, I've been talking this whole time. I'm the one holding the Pupa. My name's Korvo. This is... this is my show. I just dropped the Pupa. Do you see me? This is ridiculous. I hate Earth. It's a horrible home. People are stupid.
