After watching "Under the Dome" for three consecutive seasons, I was convinced by the bizarreness of the story and the fighting power of the American people. This story is too twists and turns, full of suspense, and too fascinating. The American expedition found a meteorite in Alaska, and after touching it, the dome was lowered, and the energy source was also lowered. Then it was how the residents of the small town of Chester fought to survive in the dome. Along with a series of murders, the dome brought Disasters have triggered the sins of human nature, the struggle for the highest authority in the town, the struggle for energy, resources, water, food, etc., love and hatred, plus the destruction of natural disasters such as blood rain, ice, calcification, sand and dust, the town is devastated. Dilapidated, people withered and lost, and the fighting continues.
Big Jim used to be the only councillor in the town. He was involved with the pastor and sheriff in drug production and drug trafficking. After the dome came down, in order to cover up the crime and fight for power, he murdered the pastor. In the next three seasons of struggle, he firmly believed that he was for the small Town dedication, relying on violent murder to eradicate all those who stand in the way, even selfish enough to sacrifice his own son, junior, his cold-blooded selfishness and fickleness is eye-catching, but also marvel at his exuberant vitality and tenacious fighting power, survived After three seasons, he was the first to be strong when he killed innocent science teachers and others, making people feel bloody resentment against him. Simple and rude, only believe that violence can solve problems once and for all, and like hegemony. Isn’t such a person a representative of American hegemonism?
Barbe, a former Special Forces officer, with such a feminine name is a paradox. After retiring, he became a debt collector, solved problems violently, and killed Julia's husband as soon as he appeared on the scene. He was a cold-blooded killer from the beginning. After the rear dome was lowered, he was trapped in the town, and Julia took him in first, and they also developed a good feeling for each other. Killers like him help the townspeople through difficulties everywhere. Although he is not good at leadership, his vigorous skills make him strong in combat. Most of the time, he is in the role of regulating conflicts, but the aura of the protagonist makes him more Stand on the side of justice. However, what he has been silently doing for others always makes me feel that the change is abrupt. The actor's facial expressions are not much, and he is relatively silent. He and Julia support each other in battle and develop an enviable bond. But later, due to the influence of the intimate relationship organization, he and Eva had a relationship again. Seeing him love two people at the same time, his goodwill for him was instantly reduced. I don't understand if one can love two women at the same time, maybe, but it's not pure, so when he came back to Julia, I was embarrassed to watch it. He is the most powerful male protagonist in this play, but his character is not prominent enough and his personality is not clear enough.
Julia, a really brave woman and a big woman. She is a reporter. When barbe appeared, she asked her why she stayed in this small town, which shows that she is a person with outstanding ability and dreams. She later explained that she was here because of her husband. She was very kind, took in Barbe, and cared about other people in the town, so she also presided over the town's major events, her belief was very firm, she believed that she was the one chosen by the dome, and that the dome was to protect the town, so she also took the responsibility The responsibility of the queen has been fighting for the residents. Her vitality is also very tenacious, and she is also very tolerant. When facing Jim who has lost a lot of humanity, she does not back down. When she learns that Barbe is in love with another woman, she firmly believes that Barbe's love for her is precisely because of her Faith, she eventually fights barbe until the dome disappears, saving barbe.
Junior is the only son of big Jim. He is tall and handsome, but has a weak personality, probably because his father is too strong. He is so infatuated with Angie that he even kidnapped her after the dome came down, saying he wanted to protect her, but in fact it was just possession. Looking at his crazy behavior, everyone thought he was crazy. Later, he became a policeman and was forced to obey his powerful father. At that time, he thought he was a simple-minded or even crazy big fool. I didn't expect his vitality to be so tenacious, and he lived until the end of the third season. Since he has no brains, he has been at the mercy of others and will only be led away. Later, Angie was murdered, and he always wanted to find out the real murderer. The return and death of his mother also broke him and his father completely. In the third season, he joined the intimacy group and became a plaything for aliens. I felt super disgusting when I saw those episodes, but he was really pitiful. , has always wanted to get rid of the control of his powerful father, but finally died in the hands of his father.
At first, I thought Joe was just an ordinary high school student, but then his performance made people think that he was not an ordinary nerd, but a real scholar with his own ideas, because he was good at using the knowledge he had learned, and his skills were amazing. But he is a minor child in the play, brave, but not outstanding. Norie looks like a rebellious female high school student, powerless to gay parents, emotionally broken, cynical, dissatisfied with anyone, and I don't know why Joe likes such a character. She was very sad in the face of the death of her relatives, and occasionally showed the ordinary life that a naughty high school girl likes to live, but she changed a lot in the third season. In order to survive, she also learned to shoot and kill, and then joined the army. What a transformation. Sam has a quirky personality and lacks a strong sense of presence, except for killing Angie with a ruthless hand. Why is it that so many people in the town who were mistakenly killed and murdered didn't cause much anger, while Angie's death made many people unable to forgive Sam? Is this the difference between a supporting role and a group actor?
After watching three seasons, the story is still very attractive. It would be better if the protagonist's character was more prominent.
