Today, let's talk about the American drama "See Season 1".
Title See Season 1 (2019), alias Seeing The Light Again (Hong Kong) / Doomsday Light (Taiwan).
The rapid development of the Internet has brought changes to watching movies and TV series, in the past, the pursuit of American dramas is ABC, NBC, CBS, HBO and other TV stations, in recent years, Netflix, HULU, Amazon and other streaming media have quickly caught up, forming a trend of catching up. Streaming media platforms continue to explode, word of mouth is getting better and better, and the viewing habits of audiences are also changing.
Disney, which is not bad money, recovered the copyright, integrated resources, and completed a Disney+ platform, and HBO also developed its own HBO Max platform. Apple, which is not bad money, has also hurried to keep up.
In 2019, Apple launched its Apple TV+ platform, first of all, to grab food and seize a piece of the market in streaming media.
"Seeing" is the first batch of original episodes launched on the Apple TV+ platform, which can be said to pin the hope of the whole village.
The biggest attraction is a future world that has lost its vision, and the male protagonist's popularity of The Horse King, The Sea King, Jason Momoa.
The opening of "Seeing" is unique, using the lines of nerve endings to form various patterns and shapes, creating a hazy feeling.
It is like both nerve cells and sound wave reflexes, creating a feeling that the blind person is seeing the world.
The first episode of the show sets the plot, as shown above: the virus outbreak has led to a sharp decline in the global population, and the few survivors have recovered a life but lost their vision. As the centuries passed, vision became a legend, and even heresy was forbidden to be mentioned.
It can be seen that the drama "Seeing" is mainly selling settings, just like the movie "Blindfold Your Eyes", depriving one of the five facial features of human beings, and then expanding to tell people's problems.
The popular male Momma plays a tribal chief named Baba Voss. He wants to protect his people and lead them to survive in an invisible world.
If nothing else, Baba Wirth's name is very advantageous, no matter who shouts, the generation is shorter than a generation.
In this world of all blind people, the division of labor is constantly subdivided. Since it is a drama that sells settings, "Seeing" spends a lot of time introducing the division of roles and the division of classes.
After losing vision, people's other perception abilities are enhanced to varying degrees.
Some people's sense of hearing has become more sensitive, like a tailwind ear; some people's sense of smell has become more sensitive and can smell more subtle things; some people have a more acute sense of touch and can detect the slightest difference between them. Think simply, think of these people as dogs or night devils.
People who talk about vision at the same time and have vision are considered wizards. Witch hunters, who resembled the attributes of the army, appeared, and they specialized in hunting wizards and eliminating all visual possibilities.
In a gimmicky setting, "Seeing" will be a story about the struggle of human beings themselves.
After the slaughter of mankind in the 21st century, survivors are unable to continue to develop science and technology, and after losing their vision, they cannot even maintain the original level of technology.
As a result, knotted rope memories became the mainstream again, concrete buildings became flat mountains in people's mouths, miracles that were obviously revealed by the gods, electricity became the anger of the gods, and so on, and feudal superstitious activities became the mainstream. All indications are that the human beings in the play are similar to modern people in appearance and can no longer understand what we regard as common sense.
The play combines the remnants of modern technology with the primitive social lifestyle to create an alternative apocalyptic style.
Losing sight, the survivors lived like hominids. Although there are many technological residues around them, they cannot receive education and understand the principles and functions of technology. Just like an orangutan holding Gatling, it can only be used as a crutch.
Ignorance and barbarism are once again in the mainstream, and whoever has the biggest fist is the king. When there are few people, they use brute force to speak, and when there are many people, they use brute force to conquer and control feudal superstitious thoughts.
As big as a kingdom, as small as a tribe. That's how Baba Wirth became a chief, and after killing a few disobedient thorns, the remaining followers surrendered. The same is true of Queen Kane's "kingdom", which relies on the electricity provided by the hydroelectric power station, and they claim to have divine powers, constantly mythologizing themselves and controlling their people. What we now think of as a common high-tech product is black magic in the eyes of primitive people.
At the same time, the number of people became a key indicator, having more children was the only way to perpetuate the tribe, and they also found the disadvantages of the marriage of close relatives. In the bazaars between several tribes, the greater role is the large exchange of genes. The relevant scenes in the play are very imaginative.
It is certainly not enough to be blind, there must always be some accidents to have a plot conflict.
The show features a genetic mutation, and a man named Jerlamarel is born with vision, which makes him different.
Geramaril's appeal is to "sow seeds" everywhere, so that his descendants will spread throughout the kingdoms and tribes, and when the children grow up, they will form a kingdom of able-sighted people.
The emerging forces represented by Geramarel want to seize power, and the old world, composed of a large number of blind people, wants not to be driven off the stage of history.
Thus began a battle for survival.
What new world and old world, the green hat chief would not think so far, he just wanted to bring the people safely and pull the children up.
The end of the season leaves suspense, indicating that Gera Marrell's plan still has many hidden secrets, and watch the second season of the family save her sister Haniwa.
Only Apple TV+ is known for announcing the renewal of See Season 2, but there is no news of when it will return.
"Seeing" is also a reflection on the development of science and technology in today's society, people look at themselves in the world, always think that they are omnipotent, will be the world master. But I didn't expect that a small virus could kill and kill humans.
"See Season 1" is still a 2019 drama, and looking back now, it seems like a bold prediction. When the new crown virus is raging around the world in 2020, the strong ability to spread makes people feel desperate. Even if some people are lucky enough to be cured, there are sequelae after being cured. For example, brain supplement damage, loss of taste and so on. It seems to be a different kind of "seeing" setting.
Although the setting in the play is basically blind, it is not ambiguous to make a TV series. The series spends a lot of time on each character, detailing the mental journey of each character.
The makeup of the characters in the play is very delicate, and it is not at all a blind person's appearance. Unlike those animals in the deep sea, everyone can't see anyone, just grow long, the makeup and costumes of the characters in "Seeing" are closely related to the status of the characters, and there should be a lot of cards. Maybe they put their skills on dressing up.
The action scenes of "Seeing" are not ambiguous at all, don't think that blind people are blind. The blind play here is quite methodical.
From positional warfare to small catch-and-kill, the action arrangement fully takes into account the visual elements, which is in line with the character's vision loss and can also meet the audience's audition effect. In particular, the scene of Baba Wirth vs. the slave traders is really handsome.
In order to show financial resources, in addition to Serving Huadao, "Seeing" also has a large number of aerial photographs that are not bad for money.
As soon as the long-range aerial shooting is taken, the look and feel of the whole play goes up to a higher level, and the scenery in the play is really beautiful, except for the pity that the blind people see it, the audience is addicted.
With so many points to watch, audiences who like the theme of the end of the world may wish to take a look.
The invisible undercurrent of the world is surging,
The invisible human heart is immutable.
