The reason for the 3 stars is that this animation, from the conception of the first episode, makes people think that it will discuss some interesting and in-depth topics. But the final direction of the plot (whether it is a schizophrenic party or a so-called superpower party) deviates from this core discussion.
For example, the anxiety of youth depicted in the opening paragraph:
I am tired of life. I wake up in the same bed with the same person every morning. I shower, brush my teeth, and get dressed. Eat the same breakfast and take the same route to work.
I'm 28 and I'm terrified that's all.
The heroine's appearance, figure, career, and family are all mediocre. Just like most of us ordinary people, we also experience the anxiety that many people at this age (or even older) will encounter: the fear that this life will be so bland, tepid, and without waves.
Her diss sister longed for a marriage and a stable life, and she was also afraid that her relationship with her boyfriend would gradually become without any surprises and fun:
With such a "mourning" character, I thought that whether it was a future schizophrenia or a plot with special abilities, she would give her some answers or some breakthroughs to her life status and attitude towards life. Only in this way will those who have similar thoughts and conditions with her develop empathy, so that through this drama, they can leave something that they can think deeply about.
But if you look back at the plot of the show as a whole, you will find that it has nothing to do with the original "youth anxiety" topic, or even the self-identity, racial discrimination, indigenous culture and other topics mentioned in the descendants of Mexican immigrants. .
>>>Plot overview review :
The heroine was in a car accident when she saw her dead father while driving and was hospitalized with serious injuries—>
Seeing the dead father, being able to talk to the father, and often appearing in different places/times inexplicably —>
Her father told her that she had the ability to time travel, and that her death was a murder rather than an accident. While training the heroine, he hoped that after the heroine mastered the ability, she could go back to the past and find out who killed him—>
As a result, the heroine gradually began to believe that she had this ability, and was obsessed with tracing the cause of her father's death—>
Therefore, she refuses to see a doctor and take medicine (the heroine's mother and her boyfriend hope that she can think that she has a mental problem and needs to take medicine) —>
In the end, the heroine went back to the past and learned the truth of her father's death (not homicide but cowardly suicide), even so, she still reconciled with her father and went back to the past again to save her father—>
She returned to reality, waited for her father to appear in reality, and did not see it all night. When the morning came, the heroine seemed to see something. (No further explanation, the end of the play)
>>> end of review
This trend, at most, can be said to be the experience of the heroine's car accident, which made her deeply dig and examine her childhood shadow (the death of her father), so as to gradually reconcile with her father and herself. Such a story. However, there is no higher idea based on reality, and no answer to the original heroine's youth anxiety problem (could it be that schizophrenia or superpowers are the outlet for anxiety resolution? This is very funny).
I'm not that it's because the show isn't good or it's not a good work, but, let's just say, nitpicking, I have higher hopes for it.
After all, this is the work of Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the writer of BoJack Horseman. There are so many in Ma Nanzhong that seem to be joking and ridiculous, but there are countless wise sayings that make people think about reality, which really makes people look forward to the ideological core that the screenwriter wants to express.
In addition, whether it is schizophrenia or time travel superpowers, it is not a new setting. Judging purely from the perspective of psychological suspense or science fiction, there is nothing particularly surprising about the film.
So, 3 stars.
