Today, let's talk about the American drama "Hometown: Fort Salem Season 1".
Title Motherland: Fort Salem Season 1 (2020), alias Motherland/Witch Frontline/Witch Frontline.
The new American drama "Hometown: Fort Salem", which debuted in March today, takes the fantasy route and focuses on witches as the highlight of the whole drama.
The first season of "Hometown: Fort Salem" is equivalent to the entire series of appetizers. Taking a famous event in history as a node, the whole play is built on a rather interesting setting, and begins the artistic creation of freeing yourself.
Fort Salem in the title shows the background of the story.
The Salem witch trials are the most famous witch events in the United States. The Salem witch trials took place in Salem, Massachusetts Bay, in 1692. At that time, the United States was still a British colony, and the Salem witch trials took place from February 1692 to May 1693, a series of accusations of witchcraft and lawsuits.
Below is a summary of the Salem witch trials.
The Salem witch trials had serious consequences for the town of Salem and improved the law. In the future, definite and doubtless evidence that has been determined through certain procedures can be used as the basis for the jury's judgment in court.
In 1689, the town was allowed to build its own church. Former businessman Samir Paris becomes priest. In February 1692, Reverend Paris' nine-year-old daughter Betty and 11-year-old niece Abigail contracted a strange disease. They began to appear lethargic. The girls screamed and threw things. Sometimes the body cramps and moans in pain. Then, other girls showed the same symptoms, and panic engulfed the town.
Pastor Paris called for Doctor Grigor. Doctors diagnosed that the girls were bewitched by witchcraft. Several priests came to the town to pray for the sick, to no avail. So the priests asked the girls to point out who was using witchcraft. It was widely believed at the time that demons were passed from one person to another. That is, the devil must have someone act as its agent. Demons appear as agents to harm others. Ghosts are only visible to the victim. It is this "ghost evidence theory" accepted by the court. At first, the girls identify three women as witches: Tituba the slave; Sarah Good, a beggar; and Sarah Osborn, a woman who was married to indentured labor and rarely attended church meetings.
By May 1692, the jails in Salem and Boston were overcrowded with witchcraft suspects awaiting trial. More than 200 people have been charged with witchcraft, more women than men. As the witch case continued to expand, some began to doubt the veracity of the girls' allegations. The hanging of six witches in the summer of 1692 did not end the witch trials in the Massachusetts area. More and more people were showing symptoms of affliction, and so were the accusations and trials of witches. Whether rich or poor, farmers or businessmen were charged. No one is immune to being accused of being a witch.
Under the pressure of strong public opinion, Governor Phippe ordered on October 29, 1692: Unless absolutely necessary, no witchcraft suspects shall be imprisoned, and no suspects in custody shall be harmed. On October 29, he also ordered the dissolution of the Special Tribunal. In January 1693, the last witchcraft trial came to an end. In May 1693, Governor Fip pardoned all imprisoned witchcraft suspects and terminated all trials. So far, the Salem witch trials have resulted in 19 people being hanged and one being crushed to death by a pile of stones.
The setting of "Hometown: Fort Salem Season 1" is based on this background. The people in the play did not persecute witches more than 300 years ago, but discovered the witch's fighting power from the front, actively guided them, and let the witches join the US military. serve the country.
The play also mentions a way to judge witches. The trial was extremely domineering, with the judges tying up suspects who were considered witches and throwing them into the river. If innocent, she will sink, if guilty, she will float. Anyway, as long as you are designated as a witch, the result is a death.
The witches who enlisted in the army can use their supernatural powers to exert miraculous effects on the battlefield. The leader of the witches, General Adler, also obtained the magic of immortality, assisting more than 40 American presidents for more than 300 years.
Witch School Fort Salem School was built on Fort Salem, a tribute to the Salem Witch Trials.
The real-life Salem witch trials helped advance the law, and the show's Fort Salem became a training ground for witch recruits.
The whole drama has nothing to do with the legal career, it is just a gimmick under the guise of a witch to shoot a youth campus fantasy drama.
Witches are born with abilities, and women can inherit witch abilities through their mothers. According to the agreement between the witch organization and the state, witches will go to Fort Salem School to participate in combat training when they grow up, and are always ready to enlist in the army to serve the country. Ordinary people feel awe and awe when they see witches. They respect witches for their brave and fearless battles for their country, but they fear the powerful abilities of witches.
In contrast to sorcerers, wizards inherit sorcery abilities from their fathers.
The protagonists of the play are three young witches, Raelle, Abigail, and Tally Tally, young witches who have just reached the age to be recruited into the school.
Rael is proficient in healing, his mother died in battle, and Wu Litao did not take the usual path. He is a legendary figure of a generation. Rael inherited his mother's witchcraft and personality.
Abigail came from a prominent witch family. Her mother was a military executive. She was born with a golden key.
Tully also came from a big family of witches. A lot of female members of the family died in the battlefield. They were three generations of loyalty and loyalty.
It is worth mentioning that Taylor Hickson, who plays the heroine Rael, is Taylor Hickson. She suffered a serious accident while filming "Nightmare Dollhouse" in 2018, and her face was disfigured. After multiple repair operations, a scar on the left side of her face was clearly visible.
Attentive viewers will find that most of her shots in the play are on the right face, and a scar on the left cheek cannot be hidden.
The play mainly tells the story of a group of witch recruits undergoing training. The object of their defense against the country is a group called the Spree. Zealots are keen to launch terrorist attacks in areas where ordinary people congregate, massacre innocent civilians.
In addition, there is an organization composed of ordinary humans, specializing in the skills of the barbarians to control barbarians, equipped with sound devices to urge spells to attack witches.
The key is that these two organizations are more mysterious than the other, just so that you can't see what they are doing.
There is a big hole left at the end of the season. I have no responsibility to guess. In the end, it may be the witch Ben's family. After fighting, I found that the biggest enemy is inside.
"Hometown: Fort Salem" can be regarded as a novel drama. The first episode has a small climax at the beginning, as if witches can run wild in the world. After the bullish beginning, the story that followed turned into a campus youth drama, where a group of girls were intrigued and jealous in the school.
The way of clothing in the play is relatively delicate, but the essence is still a youth campus drama.
The relationship between women and women and between men and women has become the main event in the school, and it is said that the hatred of the country and the family has been completely reduced to the background board.
There are many innovations and changes in the play, such as the way the characters in the play applaud, everyone applauds without using their hands, but stomps their feet, which is really unconventional. Don't know if the floor and the people living downstairs can handle it.
The witch's attack method also relies entirely on the mouth to attack, and all of them are the kings with strong mouths. Small-scale battles are compared to the size of the voice and the number of songs that will be played, and large-scale battles are based on the number of people.
When Momo Haw played in the fifth episode, it can be seen that "Hometown: Fort Salem" wants to create a small climax similar to a bloody wedding, but the foreshadowing of the previous episodes is not good, and the characters have not yet been established. , The story was not clearly explained, so I rushed to push the climax.
When I watched "Hometown: Fort Salem", I had the feeling of watching "Hip-hop Contest" and "Who's the Singer" again. The whole story is about the chorus. Those who can't sing well will be eliminated and go home, those who can sing well will become infantry and become cannon fodder, and those who can sing well can become officers...
In addition, "Hometown: Fort Salem" shoots witches that are specialties of Western religions. Even if you shoot witches, you can find a place to black China, and there is no one.
I wanted the witch to make her promise to the country,
As a result, chatting and tearing at the campus.
