Today, let's talk about the American drama "Stranger Things Season 1".
Titled Stranger Things Season 1 / Montauk (2016).
Stranger Things is a series of fantasy dramas that pay homage to 80s productions, set in Indiana in 1983, and begin with the disappearance of a young boy, leading to a mysterious project for superpower research, and the monsters that come with it.
The show was named third for The Guardian and Empire as the 2016 TV Show of the Year.
Stranger Things was inspired by the Montauk Project of the early 1980s, complemented by a wealth of tributes to contemporary art.
Montauk is planned to take place at Montauk's "Hero Camp" on Governor Island, New York, and is rumored to study psychological warfare, time travel, and inter-dimensional travel. It has been claimed that a series of classified experiments have been conducted, but there is no exact facts and rigorous theoretical basis for evidence, and the authenticity of this plan has been questioned. As far as the labels of time travel and hyper-dimensional travel are concerned, this plan is more similar to an urban legend, and may also be a kind of public opinion war.
The creators said the series would shoot five seasons.
"Stranger Things" mainly shows the friendship of children, which is a pure friendship that does not mix interests, and it is also the most enviable feeling.
The show received rave reviews, and the audience was more touched by the sincere emotions between the young actors. To be honest, those strange and chaotic gods are not a strange thing, but setting the protagonist on a 10-year-old doll has become the biggest highlight.
The young actors add a lot to the story with their rustic performances, and another point that excites the audience is the large number of tribute elements in the play.
This kind of tribute to the work, if you don't understand the Easter egg behind it, then the fun of watching the play will be greatly reduced.
Here are a few Easter eggs.
1. The series pays a great tribute to '80s films, especially Steven Spielberg's work, such as the tribute to E.T. Aliens. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), Poltergeist (1982), and Jaws (1975).
2. The four little boys are playing Dungeons & Dragons when they debut, which is a tribute to E.T. Aliens, and in E.T. Aliens, the protagonist is introduced by playing this game.
There are also scenes of little boys riding bicycles, especially when they are being chased, and scientists use televans to monitor citizens, all paying homage to "E.T. Aliens"
3. According to Dragon Magazine, demogorgon was a formidable villain in the first edition of Dungeons & Dragons. It is the Demon Prince, ruling over a chaotic and evil dimension in which are all kinds of demons.
On June 18, 2020, IDW and Dark Horse announced that they would jointly publish the Stranger Things & Dungeons & Dragons series.
4. When Millie Bobby Brown played Little 11 this season, the actor's age was exactly 11.
Millie Bobby Brown shaved her head in honor of Charlize Theron of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015).
5. Millie Bobby Brown not only contributed her hair, but also gave her first kiss in the show.
When Mike kissed her, the director shouted "Stop! ”
Millie stood up and said, "That's kissing?! That's it? Too bad! ”（THAT'S kissing?! That's it? That sucked!) because that was her first kiss.
6. Little 11's pink dress and blonde wig pay homage to the alien camouflage in E.T. Alien.
The abbreviation "elf" in English, German, Dutch, etc. means elf. It's like the character itself, who can travel between two worlds.
Little 11 always gets nosebleeds when he uses superpowers, which is a tribute to Charlie's father in Firestarter (1984) and Ripley in Alien (1979).
7. Little 11 only has 42 lines in the first season, and most of the time it has to be performed with expressions and limbs.
And the longest thing she's ever said is ," as long as... Just wait a little while. ”（ Just... Just hold on a little longer）。
8. Dustin Henderson is ridiculed for having no teeth when the little boys are bullied in school, and Dustin explains that he suffers from "clavicle dysplasia."
It is a rare genetic disorder involving abnormal development of the clavicle (clavicle) and skull, and the actor, Gaten Matarazzo, himself suffers from this disease.
9. The scene of three little boys coming to the edge of the woods at night with their bicycles pays homage to the movie The Goonies (1985), and even the music and dialogue are the same.
10. Barbara draws out the pool monster because of the bloodshed, which is consistent with Jaws.
11. The series also has a lot of homages to Stephen King.
In Episode 5, the children walk a long way along the tracks in homage to the movie Stand by Me (1986).
Episode 8 shows children attacking monsters with slingshots, a tribute to Stephen King's It.
In "Joker Returns", adults use slingshots and silver flakes to attack monsters that incarnate as spiders.
The head-aiming attack pays homage to the story of David and Goliath.
13. The vehicles and uniforms of the Hawkins Police Department, including the sheriff's brown uniform, the triangular patch, the brown SUV, the patrolman's blue uniform, and the sheriff's hat, are the same as those in the first two works of Jaws.
Episode 7, Hopper rushes into a bus to rescue children, paying homage to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
15. The hawkins Power and Light acronym is HPL, a secret government agency that opens the door to another dimension, unleashing the faceless monster.
HPL pays tribute to H.P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft created the Cthulhu Mythos, whose biodesign is very similar to here.
Full of old stems,
Pure youthful love.
