In recent years, "brain-burning dramas" have become popular, with a lot of metaphors and foreshadowing. After watching it for a long time, I don't know why. It can become a talking point. This "Relative Universe" doesn't have too many such "surprises". The orthodox narrative method tells you what happened at the beginning. There are no neurotic dialogues, no tricky plots, and progressing step by step is like being slowed down. Slowly peeled onions are more delicate and shiny.
Parallel universe is a scientific concept deduced by quantum mechanics, but first of all, we can be sure that this is not a science fiction drama, at least in the first season, the director did not discuss too much from a scientific point of view, but put his energy on more interesting So if you evaluate this show with sci-fi expectations, you may be disappointed.
The same is true. Imagine if the world really existed in parallel universe. Would our world be different now? No, because this is an objective fact, we will not suddenly become omnipotent, red The green and blue color scheme is still the main color scheme in small and medium-sized cities in my country. Oppo’s advertisements and stores still occupy every town and village. The sun rises as usual, and you still have to squeeze your head to catch the subway.
What's interesting is what happens when two identical worlds are discovered and can communicate with each other? Ultimately this is a philosophical question.
If you have seen "Boom Drummer", you must be impressed by the stern old man, J.K. Simmons, who plays the same person in the two worlds of AB and different personalities.
This is how the story goes, a scientific "accident" world 30 years ago was copied into two identical AB worlds.
What should I do if something so awesome happened to WTF! ! !
Anyway, I can't imagine it, but the authorities on both sides must have made the exact same bewildered expressions as if they were looking in a mirror at that time, and then maintained for a long time that everything in the two worlds behaved exactly the same. (The location of the story seems to be in Germany, so it can even be considered as a metaphor derived from the former East and West Germany, and the atmosphere of the Cold War is full)
However, even the most precise genetic duplication can go wrong and create thousands of species on earth, as can these two worlds that were originally duplicated, even though the smallest variables can cause dramatic changes like the butterfly effect.
Maybe it was a space-time channel that handed over the two worlds. Anyway, it was secretly controlled by the governments on both sides. At the beginning, the two sides should actively exchange information for research. The influenza plague in which % of the population died, world B fell into depression and panic, while world A was still feasting and eating pork with iPhones. At this time, the trust of the two worlds began to break, and the political conspiracy that promoted the whole drama also unfolded.
"How lucky to meet another self in the real world"
A line in the play probably means something like this.
It is said that we are alone in this world, so who can know ourselves better than ourselves? Isn't it fun to meet yourself?
On the one hand, the world is a kind uncle who has worked for 30 years and is still a clerk, on the other hand, the world is full of capable and experienced supervisors with much higher positions. The constant collision of the same characters in the two worlds with different fates also leads to another self-evident problem. , what makes a true and brave self, and what makes us live in a submissive way?
Different choices have different possibilities. We are faced with countless choices perceptible or unperceived every day. A random variable may be enough to change the trajectory of a person’s life. Isn’t that the case with us now.
I like the female killer in world B in the play, she is sad, smart and capable, but her fate in world A is to be a rebellious and extremely talented violinist. These are two different fates for the same person. She saw with her own eyes that she was Killing, she once hated this seemingly successful self who lived in "cowardice" and pain, stood aside and watched the funeral of "self" coldly without tears in her eyes.
The first season has ended. To sum up, the production of this drama is exquisite and elegant, with elegant temperament, good music and camera language, and excellent actors. Although there are many emotional scenes, the actual plot progresses quite fast, and it will not be like some dramas. After watching the first season, I don't know what it is about, looking forward to the next season.
