Recently, there is a big happy event for fans of "Sense 8" (Sense 8), which is finally ushering in the finale of their lifetime - the end of the special chapter.
(Actors from all over the world, C position is South Korea's Bae Doona. The characters in the play from left to right are a policeman in the United States, a DJ in Iceland, a driver in Kenya, an actor in Mexico, a chaebol in South Korea, a hacker in Canada, the underworld in Germany, Indian doctor.)
Developed by Netflix, the series written and directed by the Wachowski sisters aired its first season in 2015, a Christmas special in 2016, and was announced after its second season in 2017 due to a long production cycle and high costs. cut. This finale special is made under the strong voice of fans.
(Filming around the world has also led to soaring costs. Does anyone know where this is?)
Speaking of the Wachowskis, they were brothers at first, and the most famous work should be the "The Matrix" series, which I believe everyone is familiar with. After that, the elder brother took the lead in transgender, and completed the shooting of "Cloud Atlas" with the combination of sister and brother.
In conjunction with another super talented Tom Tykwer (Tom Tykwer), who is also a director, screenwriter and composer, the original soundtrack of "Cloud Atlas" was a hit in the awards season that year, and he also had "Super Sense Hunting" series. participate.
Later, the younger brother also successfully changed sex (during "Super Sense Hunting"), and the sister and brother group eventually became sisters (currently the elder sister is female, and the younger sister is unknown).
It may be because of the dramatic life experience of the two that the philosophical thinking that began in the period of "The Matrix" has developed into a deeper direction, that is , the diversity and tolerance of the world and the common destiny of mankind .
At the beginning, the reviews of "Cloud Atlas" were very polar. I remember a total of 6 friends watching it in Hong Kong. There were 3 positive reviews and 3 negative reviews, and they couldn't convince each other at all.
Although it is paved with the original novel, displaying the 6-paragraph palindrome narrative structure on the big screen is a big challenge for the audience (the deletion of the mainland area also slightly affects the integrity).
Many people think that "Cloud Atlas" is simply a six-path reincarnation story, but I think this is too narrow. My understanding is the spiritual heritage of humanity's quest for freedom and love as a whole, as well as the transmission of experience .
If "Cloud Atlas" is a vertical transmission, then "Super Sense Hunting" is a horizontal connection. The series adopts a sci-fi setting and centers on eight protagonists from different parts of the world. Their hearts can be connected to each other. Before the connection, they are unrelated and come from completely different backgrounds.
These eight people can not only sense each other, see each other, talk to each other , but also discover the secrets deep in each other's hearts and share skills and experiences . This combination is called a cluster (group), and this connection can be called "super sense" .
There are multiple clusters around the world, but they have different goals (here through the X-Men), so conflicts arise. In the closing special, supersensory humans are directly distinguished from sapiens, considered a more "advanced" species.
The end of the special chapter is a bit rushed because the holes dug before must be filled in more than 2 hours of space, and the final outcome is of course the victory of the protagonist group.
In the wedding and celebration banquet on the Eiffel Tower in the play, the director borrowed the words of the witness to express the theme of the play. (Chinese translation comes from Netflix's official Chinese subtitles)
The improbable unfolding of recent events have led me to consider that no one thing is one thing only.
The sudden series of events recently made me think that everything is interconnected.
How people endow what is familiar with new, ever-evolving meaning and by doing so, release us from the expected, the familiar into something unforeseeable.
Think about how people give the familiar new and evolving meanings, and by doing so free our minds from the predictable familiar to the unforeseen.
It is this unfamiliar realm, we find new possibilities.
In this strange country, we have found new possibilities.
It is in the unknown, we find hope.
In the unknown, we find hope.
For me, this wedding is proof, proof that for all the differences between us and all the forces that try to divide us, they will never exceed the power of love to unite us.
To me, this wedding was a testament to all the differences between us, all the forces that try to divide us, that they can never overcome the force of love that unites us.
Chapter 11 of the Book of Genesis of the Old Testament of the Bible records that at that time, mankind united to build a high tower (Tower of Babel) that hoped to lead to heaven .
In order to stop the plan of human beings, God made human beings speak different languages, so that human beings cannot communicate with each other, the plan failed because of this, and human beings have been scattered since then . This event provides an explanation for the emergence of different languages and races in the world.
This kind of "super-sense" world constructed in the play can be said to be a utopia. The most fundamental difference in human beings is the inability to empathize, and "supersensation" solves this problem.
This ultimate understanding and empathy can exert tremendous power , transcending the racial constraints of language, and erecting the Tower of Babel directly to heaven.
Due to the transgender identity of the Wachowski sisters, the play focuses on the LGBT (Lesbian-lesbian, Gay-gay or generally gay, Bisexual-bisexual, Transexual-transgender) groups , so many people think that this is one of the themes of the play.
But I think it is not so much to speak for the minority, but to call for a possibility to explore the unknown , to release the mind from the inherent mode, and the hope of mankind lies in the unknown.
Finally, a wedding speech is attached to the friends who are pursuing happiness. I hope everyone can find a partner who can share everything (personally, I think it can be used as a reference for whether the relationship is in place to get married).
