Today, let's talk about the German drama "Darkness Season 3".
The title of the film is Dark Season 3 (2020), alias Dark (Hong Kong/Taiwan) / Dark World / Dark World / Dark.
"Darkness" is the first German original drama launched by Netflix. This drama uses the unique rigor of Germans and uses time travel as the background to tell an intricate German orthopedic series story.
In the past, those time-travel sci-fi dramas tended to have very exciting beginnings, but always end up unfinished. German orthopedics and time travel are the highlights of the show. The most valuable thing is that "Darkness" avoided the unfinished ending and completed a grand masterpiece with powerful self-consistent logic.
After the foreshadowing of the first two seasons, the drama "Darkness" finally ushered in its final season in 2020.
The return time of the third season happens to be June 27, 2020, which is the day of the end of the world that is emphasized at all times in the play.
This season will bring an end to this endless cycle and reveal the mystery of the whole story.
In the first episode of season three, when Jonah walks into the classroom, Martha is drawing the infinity symbol over and over and Bartos is talking about the timeline.
These all set the tone for the season. The entire third season is a story about an infinite loop.
The first season is about a sudden time travel that disrupts small town life. Everyone hides their own little secrets, and the intricate interpersonal relationships create huge obstacles for the audience to watch.
The second season, focusing on the various signs before the end of the world, everyone is making futile efforts to find out the truth and prevent the end of the world, and the second world is introduced.
In the first world, Adam and a group of friends try to figure out the truth and stop this terrible cycle. In the second world, it is led by Eve, and the two sides have different understandings of the cycle.
So the third season unfolds to depict the story between the two worlds.
The worlds of Adam and Eve may seem the same, but they are markedly different.
In order to distinguish the two worlds, if the zoom effect is used when switching the camera, it means that the world is switched.
In the opening credits of Season 3, the letters "D" and "R" in the title "DARK" are mirrored and rotated, like reflections in a mirror. This is alluding to the concept of double alternate worlds used in season three.
In the specific representation of the two worlds, Adam's world and Eve's world can be seen to have significant left and right mirror symmetry. The growth direction of trees, architectural modeling structure, scars on characters, etc. are all set in mirror images.
In order to facilitate the audience to distinguish the roles, many characters in the play are arranged with many scars and defects, such as one-eyed dragons, facial scars, dumb and so on. These also change at any time when expressing the mirror world.
In addition, Jonah and Martha's son "Anonymous" has a cleft lip, which may be a genetic manifestation of incest.
If in this case, you still can't distinguish the characters, you might as well watch it several times.
Jonah grows into Adam, and Martha grows into Eve, and they've worked to restore the world "as it was," over and over again trying to untangle the knot that binds the two worlds together.
If only because two parallel universes are entangled, untangling the knot seems to separate the two worlds. But in fact, the two worlds are not a simple concept of parallel universes, but two wrong worlds produced by a cosmic error.
The stories of the first two seasons have been telling various stories that happened in the wrong world. The more unreasonable the facts presented to the audience, the more they can prove the wrongness of the world.
I do not know the true face of Mount Lu, only because I am in this mountain. Adam has always defined a premise that the world is right for the events he experienced, without taking into account the possibility that the world itself is wrong. So he could only repeat what had happened countless times over and over again.
They keep repeating mistakes, and by doing so, they generate false theories, and tragedy strikes again and again.
Adam even had an epiphany, thinking that he and Eve's child were the crux of the matter, and that he wanted to unite the two apocalyptic energies to destroy the future child.
Correspondingly, Eve wants to save both worlds and stop Adam.
Time can be reversed, but things cannot be changed. It seems that the future can affect the past, but time always has a way to reset everything.
The third season completely jumped out of everyone's inherent impression of parallel universes and other settings, but took a different approach and told the story of the origin of another world.
The truth is that both worlds Adam and Eve were in were wrong and should not exist.
In the source world, on the night of May 31, 1971, it was raining heavily, and the watchmaker Tannhaus and his son got into trouble.
When his son got angry, he took his daughter-in-law and granddaughter and left in the rain. As a result, three people died in a car accident.
Tanhouse was distraught, and with the support of physics knowledge, he began to painstakingly study the time-travelling device.
In 1986, Tannhaus successfully completed the time machine, but there was a mistake in its operation, which created two wrong worlds, the world of Adam and Eve, and also lost the source world.
In the third season, there are two mirror worlds, as well as the source world.
The way to distinguish the three is actually quite simple.
The worlds of Adam and Eve are switched by screen zooming, and the screen aspect ratio is the same.
When cutting to the source world, it is expressed by changing the aspect ratio. The source world has the widest aspect ratio, and the two black borders at the top and bottom of the screen are noticeably thicker.
After going through all the hardships and finally finding the crux of the problem, the answer that can really solve the problem will come out: as long as the source world Tannhaus family is safe, Tannhaus will not study the time machine, nor will he Two wrong worlds are born.
The price is that Adam and Eve, who only existed in the wrong world, will cease to exist after correcting the timeline.
Originally, Jonah and Martha had never considered the irrationality of their own existence. Now that they understood everything, whether to choose their own survival, pull others to suffer together, or choose to disappear and let everything return to normal, became the ultimate test for them. question.
"Darkness" is essentially a sci-fi drama with a lot of thinking about religion and philosophy in the middle. When Newton studied science, it was also to prove the existence of God. Science and religion were not opposites. Philosophy was to find out the meaning of human beings. Science and religion were both ways.
Therefore, it can also be seen that "Darkness" no longer adopts the previous binary opposition, but introduces the Celtic triangle to explore the truth between endless cycles.
Another fun of watching "Darkness" is to clarify the relationship between the characters in the play, who is who's father, who's who's mother, who's who's seven aunts and eight aunts...
If all this can be understood, then there must be no problem when visiting relatives and calling people for New Year's greetings.
Without hesitation to set things right,
Cycle back and forth to trace the source.
