As a non-fiction, non-game party passerby, I watched the first season of the legendary "The Witcher" in two working nights under the strong recommendation of my friends. My journey of watching the show is like this :
Wow, the white-haired wizard is so handsome, I can eat three bowls of rice in front of his body; I really doted on his horse Roach, so will there be a Wu X horse route next? (It turns out that , I really think too much)
Wait a minute, does the girl Renfri in the first episode really know magic? Why do I only think that her beauty + strength is okay, where is the magic bonus? Could it be because of her beauty? After having sex with Geralt, she suddenly started to predict the appearance of Ciri girl? (This part is completely original in the drama version and it is unknown so!!!) Could it be that this is her mutation ability? (Later, my friend told me about Renfri's ability It's bewitching others + immune to magic, I just rolled my eyes: I thought that was called attractiveness... So the screenwriter, can you make it more obvious, I can't really see it when I wait for passers-by!)
Shenma? Renfri, the girl who is responsible for the whole drama's appearance, is dying so soon??? Yennefer is Geralt's true love??? I thought they only had one leg, why are they suddenly in love?? Is Roach the true love??
As for the fate bond between Princess Ciri and Geralt, I don't even want to say that before I read the novel, I thought Ciri would become Geralt's child bride in the future... (The screenwriter is mistaken!!! Cover your face and run away)
And the chaotic timeline of this show... Thanks to my friend who gave me a vaccination in advance, I didn't get stunned by the great screenwriter! Back then, "Westworld" was also promoted with multiple timelines The story develops, but people have done a seamless connection in the connection + it is not far-fetched, so that a closed loop can be formed when the timeline is closed at the end, and it will be well received; as for the timeline of the drama version of "The Witcher", I will leave it to you. Let's taste (spit) taste (groove) carefully.
Although this show's "ingenious" twist-and-twist-style hybrid timeline has successfully frightened away a passerby in the first few episodes (to be honest, if it wasn't for Dawei's appearance + music + I really just wanted to I figured out that the show was talking about god horses, and I guess I couldn't hold on...), but after I really insisted on watching it, I was attracted by its unique, dark and cruel adult worldview. It really pushed me to keep watching "The Demon Hunter" "People" is not about the tireless Amway of the base friends (they dumped two novels for me before + threw me a lot of high-definition game screenshots, but they didn't work together), but about what a monster is from the first episode. , what is lesser evil, what is fate discussion.
My favorite so far is the first episode about Renfri (corresponding to the Lesser Evil chapter in the novel). In this episode, a dialogue between Geralt and the warlock Stregobor particularly appeals to me:
Geralt: You don't want my monster. You want me to kill yours.
Stregobor: Very clear. Indeed.
Geralt: What kind?
Stregobor: Tne worst kind. The human kind.
Interestingly, this dialogue is not from a novel, but from a TV series. Geralt, a witcher, was once a human. In order to hunt monsters, he was transformed from a human to a witcher. However, the irony is that , human beings are more evil creatures than other monsters. In the setting of the original novel, human beings were not originally natives of this continent, but they came to this world by accident because of the intersection of the celestial spheres, but they became the domination of this world. The strongest race. Learned to control magic through elves, but ended up killing all the elves; creating witchers to hunt other monsters, all birds, good bows, and finally witchers became the monsters in the world, the hunted Object. So who is the real monster? I think the aboriginal people have more say?
People call "inhumans" monsters, but they deliberately ignore that they are the origin of all monsters.
Renfri was originally a human princess who could have everything, but unfortunately, she was born on the day of the curse of the dark sun (everyone, it is also important to read the almanac before reincarnation!), and became Lilit, who would bring disaster to the world in the words of the warlock Stragobor. The guide. Since then, the princess' fate has been completely changed, and she has been branded with the label of monsters that can never be removed. She was hunted by the stepmother Queen and Stragobor in various ways, robbed and raped by hunters, and in order to survive, she learned to steal, Looting, swordsmanship, learned revenge and killing. Stragobor gave Geralt a lot of evidence to prove that Renfri was different from ordinary people, so killing her was lesser evil. First of all, any baby girl born on the day of the curse of the dark sun carried all kinds of Mutations, and so on, Renfri is also a mutant. He would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go; secondly, Renfri has shown various brutal tendencies since childhood, such as killing puppies and injuring the maid who served her. , killed the hunter who was chasing her; finally, Renfri, now a witch, also showed the ability to deceive people. So all kinds of things proved that the prophecy was right, Stragobor's judgment was right, she was a monster.
However, whether in the drama version or in the novel, all these so-called evidences are very ridiculous to scrutinize. According to Stragobor's autopsy results, most of the women affected by the curse of the dark sun have organ mutations, which is what we often call deformities. So is anyone with a deformity a monster? As for Renfri's bloodthirsty tendencies, let's take a reasonable picture of her situation: as the daughter of the king's original wife, you are also deeply favored by the king and have the right to the throne. first right of succession; then you have a magical stepmother with two sons who want the throne, and the stepmother has been thinking of all kinds of ways to get rid of you by poisoning + assassination (yes, this is the dark version of Snow White's story); now the stepmother has found a warlock and a wonderful prophecy to get rid of you, and then what should you do? Be gentle and kind, forgive the various killers they send, and wait to die? Or rise up and fight first In order to protect themselves? And the demagogic power that Renfri feeds is just like what I joked about with my friends: they are obviously attracted by the beauty + charm of the girl, but they have to blame it on magic, I What else can I say?
In order to prove that his judgment is correct, Stragobor has been confusing a concept: is it because he was born a monster, or is he forced to become a monster? Is it because he is cruel and bloodthirsty by nature, or is he forced to become a frightening person all the way The devil? Come on, don't forget to continue brainwashing Geralt: killing her is the lesser evil, because she is a monster that will destroy the world.
In my opinion, the real tragedy in Renfri's story is not that Geralt finally chooses his lesser evil at the Blaviken bazaar; it is being forced to be transformed from a man into a monster. As she later said to Geralt, How do I know if I'm a monster? I'm like an ordinary person. I bleed when I hurt myself, my stomach hurts when I eat bad, hangover when I drink too much, sing when I'm happy, and curse when I'm depressed. I kill someone when I hate someone, and who is more human than me?
The person who turns a person into a monster is the most evil one, the real monster. There are no monsters in this world. What we have is our various desires called people, which are bred by our evil. monster.
Who the hell is the monster? The one who was tagged, or the people who were tagged?
