The play, written and directed by the Wachowskis, tells the story of eight people from all over the world who are able to supersense each other, that is to say, they can talk and touch face-to-face while they are in different places. Feel the empathy. They are mutants, or a different species from humans. At the same time, there is a mysterious organization to arrest them. Judging from the plot introduction, the play has the temperament of a magic stick film, and there are many scenes with heavy taste in the film.
Ordinarily, it can be introduced here. Because for those who are interested, it is enough to see keywords such as Wachowskis, super-sensation, magic sticks, and heavy taste. For those who are not interested, let me talk too much, and they will not watch it. However, I still want to say a few more words, and I hope you can read it patiently.
While watching the drama, I also watched some discussions on the Internet. Many people think that the plot is too protracted and the plot develops too slowly. It's really slow. It was only in the last two episodes of the twelve episodes that the wrestling between the two factions really appeared, and the last episode showed the powerful energy of the eight people working together. The first ten episodes are basically foreshadowing, introducing the eight people's respective life experiences and personalities, as well as their unexpected encounters and emotional entanglements with each other.
So, through these unhurried foreshadowing, we got to know:
Will, an American policeman, who is skilled, professional, loyal to his duties, and kind-hearted, but has a secret that has been buried in his heart for many years.
Iceland's DJ Riley, with a fresh temperament and a healing smile, is good at mobilizing the atmosphere with music, but has a painful experience of losing her husband and newborn daughter.
Capheus, a Kenyan minibus driver, has a filial filial piety and makes friends with Sai Mengchang. He likes Jean-Claude Vincent. He is willing to risk his own life for his AIDS-stricken mother.
South Korean kung fu master Sun, as the daughter of a big company boss, holds a master's degree in economics, but lacks love in his heart, but he has also cultivated a strong character.
Wolfgang, a German thief, lived in the shadow of his beast father since he was a child.
Kala, a pharmacist in India, is facing the trouble of getting married.
Mexican actor Lito, who has a prosperous acting career, and at the same time hides the secret of being gay, finally when faced with a choice, he got rid of his weak character and made a brave decision.
American hacker Nomi, as a transgender person, overcame many difficulties and dangers despite the obstacles of her family, and resolutely stayed with her lover.
These full-bodied characters are shaped by the full foreshadowing of the previous ten episodes. It is these lovable and lovable characters with different characteristics who go through trials and tribulations in front of us, gradually grow up and complete self-redemption, which makes us grieve for their loneliness from the bottom of our hearts, and also when they blend in with each other. feel double the joy. You know, a movie or a TV series is not only about telling stories, but also about creating characters. There are characters first, and then the characters drive the plot. If it was the other way around, it would feel fake and blunt.
There are many remarkable examples of excellent American TV series in terms of characterization. One of the more famous ones is the tenth episode of the third season of "Breaking Bad" which spent an entire episode catching a fly. In fact, the fly is a reflection of Lao Bai's heart. The process of catching the fly is the process of gradually turning his mind from chaos to firmness, and it is also the turning point of his real breaking bad. It can be said that this episode is very important to the shaping of the classic character of Lao Bai. This reflects the skill of the screenwriter, but also shows the confidence of the screenwriter.
However, this kind of good is not for everyone. Just as some people think that the plot of "Super Sense Hunting" is protracted, there are also many people who have difficulty accepting the use of one episode to kill flies. I've seen people on the subway fast-forward whenever there's no dialogue on their phone while watching TV shows. If you only focus on the plot, no matter how good a movie or TV series is, it is just a brief introduction to the plot, and no matter how good a novel is, it is nothing more than a story outline. Those of you who only know how to fast forward, how many delicate and wonderful content you have missed.
The valuable part of this play is also the performance of the minority. Of the eight protagonists, Lito is gay and Naomi is both transgender and lesbian. Accounted for three of the LGBT (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, and Transgenders). After all, the Wachowskis' sister is transgender, and they were the Wachowskis when they were filming "The Matrix."
In the play, the director uses Nomi's words to express the self-identity of the minority:
the real atrocities, which I think are truly unforgivable, are the violence we inflict on ourselves, when we are too afraid to be our true selves.
The real violence, the violence that I realized was unforgivable is the violence that we do to ourselves, when we are too afraid to be who we really are.
As you can see, this is an ambitious work with a global perspective and a universal feel.
In addition, the soundtrack of this play is also very good. It often cooperates with the plot and pictures to create the atmosphere very well.
