In June 2015, a science fiction drama series called "Super Sense Hunting" produced by Netflix triggered a phenomenon-level boom, and super brain holes and super large scales are still the topic of discussion among Fans of American dramas. However, due to the high production cost (the $9 million burning method of a single episode even surpassed the "Game of Thrones" next door), it was tragically "cut off" before the third season. Until 2018, under the unremitting struggle of fans around the world, the producer finally produced and released a special article of up to 2 and a half hours, ending the unfinished story.
"Super Sense Hunting"
Sense8
"Synaesthesia" is the key word set in the whole play.
Similar to "Avatar", the Na'vi realize telepathy with natural creatures such as clansmen and even soul trees through the connection of the external nervous system.
In the play, eight people from different regions and different cultural backgrounds begin to share perceptions and thoughts after a mysterious event, that is, to achieve "synaesthesia". Among them are policemen, gangsters, transgender people, homosexuals, well-offs, poor and poor, living their own lives, but at the same time have each other's joys and sorrows.
In the first season of "Super Sense Hunting", the series spent a lot of space to outline the original life trajectory of the eight people, interweaving various branch elements such as crime, shopping, parental shortness, identity, etc., showing the huge differences between the characters and individuals, until the last few episodes began to enter the main line of being hunted by the villain. The second season gradually enters a better situation, the life of the eight people begins to face greater challenges, under the premise of sharing skills, they help each other to get through the daily difficulties; at the same time, the eight people and the villains continue to negotiate the situation of "hunting" and "being hunted", and the intervention of other synaesthetic races that are inseparable from evil also makes the future more confusing.
Among them, "perception" has always been the primary object of ability exploration for the eight people, laying the foundation for the later proficiency in the use of spiritual dialogue and skill exchange.
For example, female executives in South Korea face the discomfort of menstruation, and male actors in Mexico will feel severe abdominal pain and anxiety at the same time.
For example, gangsters in Germany feel remorse for the injury of their best friends, and well-behaved girls watching comedies in India can't help but cry with sadness.
For example, transgender hackers in the United States party carnival at the gay pride parade, and bus drivers in Kenya will see rainbow flags fluttering in the wind.
The so-called "human sorrow and joy are not connected" confirms that we as social animals have always been unable to escape the loneliness of individuals. Just like eight people, they are more or less accompanied by relatives, friends or friends, but they still can't help but fall into emotions that can only be digested alone. There are always secrets that cannot be shared, there are always situations that cannot be compared, and the word "put yourself in the shoes" exists only in the beautiful imagination.
Indian girls, who seem to be the happiest and most consummate, are also buried in their unsure of marriage, doubtful of social rules, and dare not speak to others.
Transgender girls in the United States were once trapped in the "boy body" and suffered violence from family and society, and she regained her life, even if she bravely spoke out for the LGBT community, there were still "peers" who questioned her motives.
The Kenyan driver was interviewed for beating up gang members, talking about his spiritual idol, Shange Winton, but was asked by reporters whether the courage he worshipped was the courage of white people, and who was he?
As a science fiction film, "Super Sense Hunting" integrates elements such as rationality and science and technology to outline a "super touching" spectrum that is different from "Homo sapiens". Behind the jaw-dropping worldview, it is full of humanistic thinking on topics such as gender, race, religion, and nature; the care for people is an attempt to maximize sensibility under the cloak of reason.
The series is a mix of 108 shots for the opening, is the creator of the filming in nine cities to record the regional landscape, like a documentary, showing several sets of antagonistic relationships in real life: tradition and modernity, nature and industry, poor and rich, same sex and opposite sex, young and old...
In the face of these real distances, to this day, we still can't help but think: how can people really overcome differences, break through prejudices, and achieve "absolute understanding"?
The play uses an ingenious design for this.
The eight people born after the birth of the mother of the ethnic group saw the same picture as the scene of the mother swallowing a gun and committing suicide, and the despair of retreating bound them together. The first time the eight people achieved full synaesthesia, it was because the Icelandic DJ put a song in the headphones, and in an instant, the other seven people who were either busy investigating the case, or escaping death, or sitting and watching the sunset, couldn't help but hum.
Detached from technology and artificial, just inadvertently, a simple and hopeful melody can fill the world.
Pain is the first connection, and love and hope are widespread.
So that another important label of the series, group drama, is more like the ultimate artistic expression of realizing this great love.
The "republic" constructed by "Super Sense Hunting" may still seem quite rebellious to us six years later, but it provides us with a little imagination to break through loneliness. As netizens said: "This makes people cry with joy." ”
