"Tales From The Loop" is translated as "The Loop Story". As a non-professional quantum physics enthusiast, I am really happy that it buried a lot of time theories in the story. There is no popular science or explanation. Naturally join the town's river, flowing with it, surprisingly hiding in every old electronic object waiting to be discovered.
8 episodes and I liked almost every episode.
EP02, Jakob and Danny accidentally found an abandoned iron ball that could exchange bodies and lives in the forest. Danny, who could only go to work in a quarry after graduation, was greedy for Jakob's body, who could go to work in his grandfather's company, so he didn't want to change it back. . But when he learned that because of his obsession, Jakob's soul wandered to the robot in the forest, and his original body was gradually facing decay, and he fell into continuous despair.
EP03, May hopes that all special moments can be frozen and extended. When she found an old appliance that can freeze time, after she and her boyfriend Ethan enjoyed freedom and indulgence, burnout swept over and she wanted to go back to the original. in the time order.
In EP08, Cole learned that his brother is not the real Jokob, and went into the forest to find a robot with his brother's soul. After meeting, he encountered an accident, and his brother was destroyed in a fight with other robots. Cole walks through the frozen river in frustration, walks through the flowing river, the world has passed so many years, and when he learns that only his mother and the teacher who taught him are still alive in the world, he wants everything to be business as usual and never see change.
What I find interesting is that the characters in these episodes are all looking forward to change in their current ordinary lives, in the change they once yearned for, or in the face of random events that change inspired, they are all equally at a loss, they are all the same I hope everything goes as usual. Humans are interesting, anxious in expectation, bored in completion, longing for volatility in calm, struggling to escape in volatility.
And the charm of this show is that while they're still in this cycle of disappointment after everything they've gone through, they've stopped asking why and looking for answers to life as the meaning of life.
The opposite of the above characters is the grandfather in EP04. He created Loop, created all time machines, and understood all theories, but he has never fought against death. What will we gain from fighting death? Happiness or nothingness, I don't know. All I know is that he got everything that was available, and now he is giving away a part of Consummation for the sake of Consummation.
