Post-apocalyptic movies usually reflect the dystopian, horrifying future of science and technology that has fallen behind the earth. This type of movie has been seen a lot by our audiences. From "Crazy Mike From the wasteland of "Resident Evil" to the zombie apocalypse of "Resident Evil" and "The Walking Dead", from the mutant creatures of "Tripod Disaster" to the fertility crisis of "Magic Woman Warrior" and "Son of Humanity", from "Neon Genesis Evangelion" From the mecha warfare to the alien invasion of "Falling Stars", both describe pessimistic predictions about the future, explore the themes of science and technology, morality, society, and belief in the context of the collapse of civilization or totalitarian rule, and demonstrate the good and evil of human nature. , And even formed a unique "wasteland aesthetics."
For example, when you see a painting on the Deviant art website depicting dilapidated New York: there is no one inhabited under the lead-grey sky, the dilapidated skyscrapers are crumbling, and the broken bridge half of which has sunk in the water is covered with verdant ivy. And wild flowers, it is impossible not to feel shocked. This is the unique charm of post-apocalyptic works. Through the setting of doomsday, the inherent cognition of viewers and the shackles attached to us by society are destroyed, and the pursuit of truth, love and life in this "extremely free" environment significance.
Although this newly released doomsday drama "Seeing" is not strictly based on "wasteland" as the background, it still shows the charm of post-apocalyptic film and television through various wonderful settings, strong contrasts and epic narratives. , And it gives people a great sense of beauty. Although my major has nothing to do with film and television, but after watching two episodes, I feel that I have to express my impressions. In this impetuous age, it is really incredible to be able to see such a majestic and majestic TV series. Moving.
1. The setting of visual taboos and the unique civilization formed in "blindness"
The background of the film is that hundreds of years after the extinction of the old civilization, humans at this time have lost the sense of vision, and vision has become a legend, even a taboo. The mainstream belief is the "God of Darkness", and heresy is the "Enemy of Light." Through the Queen’s several prayers, we can see that the ceremony is more like the "self-comfort" of "seeking inward", which is different from the idolatry and temples of most religions "seeking outward" in reality.
The Queen’s palace is dark, damp, full of intriguing politics and undercurrents of eroticism, but it is still solemn and solemn.
In the "blind civilization", the architectural structure and layout are more precise, even in a small mountain village that is almost isolated from the world.
War also has its own unique form. Various perceptive people can not only detect the enemy’s strength (number, distance, etc.), but also detect the enemy’s morale and emotions. Such near-supernatural abilities can still be primitive in reality. Tribes and groups advocating primitive life saw that they were not recognized by mainstream science because they lacked scientific basis and explanation.
Martial arts emphasizes the continuity of close combat. For example, after a wrestling, you must immediately ride on the enemy for continuous blows. After knocking down an enemy, you must immediately listen to the opponent and fight with another enemy.
The knotted note that has been criticized by some viewers, as an overhead setting, it is completely understandable that more information can be recorded than the reference in reality.
2. Beautiful soundtrack and pictures
Before the war, there was a sense of oppression that came from wind and rain. Even the lush forests could not give people any pleasure. On the contrary, it brought out the heaviness and repetitiveness of human history, the melancholy and regret of losing the "paradise" and the hardships of primitive life. And suffering.
After reaching the "Promised Land", the grasslands and lakes are suddenly open. Although people can't see them, they can still feel the fresh air and warm sunshine.
The soundtrack when the twins secretly read books was like an old ballad, which aroused all kinds of inexplicable emotions in me, both nostalgic and ethereal, both joy and sadness. The tone of the play seems to me like a fierce collision between the spirituality of human mysticism and the rationality of realism, romantic art and rigorous science, but this collision is not irreconcilable in Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. In the dualistic confrontation, the boundaries and analysis of each other have been blurred. In the post-apocalyptic world, science has become a myth and legend, and the remains of old civilizations have become unsolvable mysteries, so science has a romantic and mysterious color instead.
3. Charismatic character setting
The tough guy played by Jason Momoa is so cute. Apart from his appearance, his character is completely the lover of my dreams. A joke when visiting my new adopted son: No, it was a bear (describe his footsteps), hugging his family tenderly, and facing the mob without fear.
You can show your violent and bloodthirsty side without hesitation to dissidents who may threaten yourself and your family
Silvia Hokes is very suitable for acting as a villain. Many people, like me, met her for the first time in "Blade Runner 2049". Although her appearance is not very beautiful, she has a kind of self-prestige. A sense of oppression and glamorous and noble temperament. The chant led by the Queen: We are all Payan people. It looks like an adaptation of the melody of an old civilization’s popular song, but it deepens the solemn and ceremonial sense in the palace rebuilt by the dam
For the time being, I can only share my impressions of this drama. In fact, there are still a lot of things I want to say, but I still suffer from my own expression skills and writing skills. In short, this is a post-apocalyptic drama series suitable for perceptual people. I am very disgusted with the definition of "science fiction", because science is only an aspect of human civilization even in reality. If there is no pious heart ( This does not only refer to religion), our desire is endless: we will not respect nature, will not be content with happiness, will not cherish everything we have now, will not appreciate art, and we will not be able to touch the true meaning of life. Whether it is the plot, the picture or the music, the drama can evoke the audience's instinctive, romantic, and emotional resonance. This is also the mode of most post-apocalyptic themed films and televisions, in the form of decadent expression (the old human civilization and its shackles). The demise of the world) conveys a positive message (unyielding spirit, love and compassion).
Friends are also welcome to share their thoughts and thoughts below. I will keep this drama forever after it is downloaded, because it is an indelible classic of post-apocalyptic themes in my mind.
