It seems that the screenwriters are convinced that a good start is half the battle, and they worked hard in the first episode. In just 2 minutes and 17 seconds, the whole world lost control in a catastrophic manner. Compared with such a blooming world, what can be more shocking criticism of modern people parasitizing technology and endless vices?! What is
more brilliant is not just the magic of the future flash of 2 minutes and 17 seconds, but FBI agent’s wonderful idea: Since all of this is shared by all mankind, then build a platform for everyone to upload what they see in the illusion, how can we weave the look of the world 6 months later, and even cross-reference it? Reflecting each other! After
the time fat Hiro in Heroes made the plot complicated and difficult to maintain, the screenwriters were not afraid of hardships and dangers, and then went to the muddy waters of "changing the future". As the protagonist nails an identical piece of paper on the current reminder board based on the key nodes on the reminder board in the future flash, the future becomes the cause of the present, and the current behavior activates the chain of events leading to the future, and the chain of cause and effect is immediately followed. Closing becomes an endless cycle of infinite mutual catalysis of cause and effect, and cause and effect are inverted, and cause and effect are the same. At the end of the opening, people can’t help but applaud. The little girl puts a colorful bracelet on the male protagonist, with five thunderous hints, nailing the first coffin nail to the immutable future,
trying to intertwined the maze of the time axis and the chain of cause and effect. A clue was made in this series, and it was destined to have a long and painful struggle with many bugs in this episode. Due to the imperfect ability of human nature to perceive causality and the fact that you are trapped in a three-dimensional space where the arrow of time cannot be turned back, there will be many patches to be applied and foreshadowing to be buried. It is conceivable that after the explosive opening, the trend of the plot will inevitably be Sliding into a procrastinated, unintelligible, flawed, increasingly unreasonable situation.
With such a gorgeous opening, unfortunately, the plot is set to find the real culprit of the incident, which puts the ending in an extremely embarrassing situation. What kind of conspiracy is large enough, strong and shocking, and what kind of culprit is worthy of such a magnificent plot layout? Scourge? Too unreliable, not in line with the tone of realism. Secret group conspiracy theory? Cliché. Terrorist attacks? Come on, give me a break. I
think of the uncomfortable feeling of boxing water when I read Dan Brown’s novel. It was a huge mystery. It was only when the answer was revealed that the so-called big conspiracies were almost exclusively caused by little villains.
