[Personal perception of Lost finale] What saves clouds, love is king!

The screenwriters misled us at the beginning of the final season. We have always misunderstood such a critical question when, where, and in which world the flashing plot occurred. From FS 815 safely to LA, to the phrase "it worked" said by Juliet after the atomic bomb was detonated on the island, all the hints point to the same "answer"-FS is a parallel world, in that world, everyone is Live this, live according to the timeline of 815 without crash.

However, we didn't understand until the last moment. It turns out that FS is a soul transfer station, similar to the junction of the world and heaven. Conceptually, it's a bit like the middle world in "cute bones". The souls of those who die on the island, those who die early or late, will arrive at the transfer station. But they didn't know, and they forgot the most important memory in their lifetime, that is, everything that happened on the island. Jack's words also showed this. It was on this island that they were no longer lost after a brief period of confusion. They found true love and regained a new life. It is precisely because they forget these that their souls cannot be truly liberated, so they have been living in FS. The ultimate purpose of all the "coincidences" and intertwined complex relationships between characters in FS is to stimulate, to evoke people's memories on the island through specific character scenes. When the souls find the missing part, they can "Leave" with relief.

You can understand it as the credit of "bringing Steney", or it can be understood as the work done by Hurley, who became the new Jacob, called everyone to help the 815 "Let go", so at the end of the FS, Hugo and Ben There are conversations like "You are the best No.2" and "You are the best No.1".

What is certain is that FS started in the last scene on the island-after Jack closed his eyes. FS is actually a family-seeking\recognition party for a group of dead people.

I disagree with "Kojima Purgatory". I think the island is what everyone has seen in the past few seasons. It is real and has mysterious powers, not purgatory after death. However, all of these issues that have puzzled us for a long time, such as Dharma, the dispute between MIB and Jacob, the black smoke out of the island, and the rescue of the island, are actually not that important. They are just the emotional footnotes of the 815.

Yes, these struggles are nothing compared to the emotional experience and mental journey of the survivors on the island.

What saves the island is nothing but clouds. After watching the finale, I believe that the place that really moved everyone was not only in solving doubts and filling holes, but also in the fragments of familiar strangers meeting and evoking memories in life. At that moment, everyone experienced an earthquake in their hearts. So much love and pain made every couple "hold their hands and see tears in their eyes".

To live and die together, to share adversity, the feelings generated in crisis are always reliable.

Such a sentimental picture once appeared in the true love that Des and Penny could not even stop the transition of time and space, appeared in the love between Sun and Jin from the separation of their hearts to "the mountain has no edges, the heaven and the earth are united, and they dare to be with Junjue". In the twilight love between Rose and Bernard, "there is only each other in the world", appeared in Charlie, who was daring to sacrifice in order to save everyone, appeared in the birth of the new life Aaron, appeared in James and Juliet's unforgettable parting of life and death... These pictures appeared. In every corner of the island, appeared among every kind survivor. Yes, they used to fight each other and had huge differences, but in this series of sufferings, something was quietly breeding.


Love and death have always been themes throughout human history.

The 815s got real love on the island, between lovers, buddies, and even the "enemies" that were incompatible in the past.

Therefore, when they die, as soon as the memories of their lives are recalled, love immediately makes death less important, and makes all the mysterious events that happened on the island no longer matter. The important thing is that the years they have spent together, the years of fighting for survival and truth, those joys and tears that will never pass away-this is the most important thing.

At this moment, I don't want to care about Jacob and MIB. Everything on the island is no match for the great love between 815.

Heaven is happy, dear 815.

From the first time Jack opened his eyes in horror on the island, to when he comfortedly left at the same place without concern, they opened and closed. It is six years for us, but for them, it has already surpassed life and death.

Everyone, the love between us is equally important. We have enjoyed such a great drama together, and we have such unforgettable moments of moving. Honey, see you on the other side!
