Today we will talk about the American drama "Seeing Season 1".
The title of the film is See Season 1 (2019), and the nickname is Seeing Bright (Hong Kong) / Doomsday Bright (Taiwan).
The rapid development of the Internet has brought changes to watching movies and TV series. In the past, TV stations that followed American TV series were ABC, NBC, CBS, and HBO. In recent years, streaming media such as Netflix, HULU and Amazon have quickly caught up and formed a trend of catching up from behind. Streaming media platforms continue to explode, their reputations are getting better and better, and audiences’ viewing habits are also changing.
Disney, which is not bad for money, took back the copyright, integrated resources, and built a Disney+ platform by itself, and HBO also built its own HBO Max platform. Apple, which is not bad for money, also hurried to keep up.
In 2019, Apple launched its Apple TV+ platform, first to grab food and seize a market in streaming media.
"Seeing" is the first batch of original drama series launched on the Apple TV+ platform, which can be said to be the hope of the whole village.
The biggest attraction is a future world without vision, as well as the protagonist's popular horse king, sea king Jason Momoa (Jason Momoa).
The opening of "Seeing" is unique, using the lines of nerve endings to form various patterns and shapes, creating a hazy feeling.
It is like nerve cells and sound wave reflection, creating a feeling of blind people seeing the world.
The first episode of this series made a setting for the plot, as shown in the picture above: the virus outbreak has caused a sharp decline in the global population, and the few survivors have recovered their lives but lost their vision. In this way, after centuries, vision has become a legend, even a heresy and it is forbidden to mention it.
It can be seen that the drama "Seeing" is mainly selling settings, just like the movie "Blindfold Your Eyes", it deprives one of the human five senses, and then expands it to tell people's problems.
The popular male Momoa plays the tribal chief named Baba Voss. He wants to protect the tribe and lead them to survive in an invisible world.
Among other things, Baba Vos's name is very advantageous, and no matter who calls it, he is a generation younger.
In this world of all blind people, the division of labor is constantly being subdivided. Since it is a set-selling drama, "Seeing" spends a lot of space on the division of roles and class division.
After losing sight, people's other perception abilities have been enhanced to varying degrees.
Some people’s hearing becomes more sensitive, just like a wind ear; some people’s sense of smell becomes more sensitive and can smell more subtle things; some people’s sense of touch is more sensitive, and they can perceive the slightest difference between them. Simply think of these people as dogs or Daredevil.
At the same time, people who talk about vision and have vision are regarded as wizards. Witch hunters similar to the army's attributes are on the scene. They specialize in hunting wizards and eliminate all possibilities of vision.
Under the setting full of gimmicks, the story of "Seeing" is still about the struggle of mankind itself.
After the slaughter of humans in the 21st century, the survivors were unable to continue to develop technology. After losing their eyesight, they could not even maintain the original level of technology.
As a result, knotting records became the mainstream again, concrete buildings became flat mountains in people's mouths, the obvious miracles of the gods, electricity became the anger of the gods, etc., and feudal superstition activities became the mainstream. All kinds of signs indicate that the humans in the play only resemble modern people in appearance, and they can no longer understand what we regard as common sense.
The play combines the remnants of modern technology with the primitive social lifestyle to create an alternative apocalyptic style.
Losing their eyesight, this group of survivors lived like primitive people. Although there are a lot of technology residues around them, they cannot receive education, nor can they understand the principles and functions of technology. Just like the orangutan holding Gatlin, it can only be used as a walking stick.
Ignorance and barbarism have once again become the mainstream, and whoever has the biggest fist is the king. Use brute force to speak when there are few people, and use brute force to conquer and control feudal superstition when there are many people.
This is true for as large as a kingdom or as small as a tribe. This is how Baba Vos became the chief. After killing a few disobedient stingers, the remaining followers expressed their surrender. The same is true for Queen Kane’s "country". Relying on the electricity provided by the hydroelectric power station, they claim to master the power of God, continue to mythology of themselves, and control their people. The high-tech products that we now seem to be ordinary and ordinary are black magic in the eyes of primitive people.
At the same time, the number of people has become a key indicator. Having more children is the only way to continue the tribe, and they have also discovered the disadvantages brought about by the marriage of close relatives. The greater role of the bazaar between several tribes is the large-scale exchange of genes. The relevant scenes in the play are very imaginative.
It's definitely not enough to be all blind. You have to create some accidents to have plot conflicts.
A genetic mutation is set in the play, and a man named Jerlamarel (Jerlamarel) is born with eyesight, which makes him unique.
Geramarell's appeal is to "sow seeds" everywhere, so that his descendants can be spread across various kingdoms and tribes, and when the children grow up, they can form a nation of people with sound vision.
The emerging forces represented by Geramareel want to seize power, and the old world composed of a large number of blind people wants not to be driven off the stage of history.
Just like this, a battle for survival began.
What's in the new world and the old world, the green hat chief would not have thought so far, he just wanted to take the tribe safely and raise the children.
At the end of this season, there is a suspense that shows that there are many unknown secrets in Geramarell's plan. Let's look at the family saving sister Haniwa in the second season.
At present, I only know that Apple TV+ announced the renewal of "Seeing Season 2", but there is no news on when it will return.
"Seeing" is also a reflection on the development of science and technology in today's society. People watch themselves ascending the world, always thinking that they are omnipotent and will be the ruler of the world. But I didn't expect that a small virus could kill humans.
"Saw Season 1" is still a 2019 play, and now looking back, it seems to be a bold prediction. When the new crown virus is raging around the world in 2020, the powerful transmission ability makes people feel desperate. Even if some people are lucky enough to be cured, there are sequelae after the cure. Such as brain damage, loss of taste and so on. It seems to be another setting of "Seeing".
Although the setting in the play is basically blind, it is not ambiguous at all to make it into a TV series. The series spends a lot of space on each character, detailing the mental journey of each character.
The makeup of the characters in the play is very delicate, and it is not what a blind person can do. Unlike the animals in the deep sea, no one can see anyone. Just lengthen it. The makeup and costumes of the characters in "Seeing" are closely related to the status of the characters, and there are a lot of cards. Maybe they put all their skill points on dressing.
The action scenes in "Seeing" are not vague at all, don't think that blind people are playing blindly. The chaos here is quite structured.
It can range from positional battles to small fights. The action arrangement takes into account the visual elements, which not only conforms to the loss of eyesight of the characters, but also satisfies the audience's audition effect. Especially the scene where Baba Voss fights the slave trader is really handsome.
In order to show financial resources, in addition to serving the Tao, "Seeing" also has a large number of aerial shots that are not bad for money.
As soon as the long-range aerial photography was taken, the perception of the whole play went up a step, and the scenery in the play was really beautiful, except for the blind people who saw it, but the audience was very enjoyable.
With so many things to watch, audiences who like apocalyptic themes may wish to take a look.
The undercurrent of the invisible world surges,
The unseen heart remains the same forever.
