Diablo: Time and Space Fracture

Netflix's German drama Diablo has only three seasons, and it is a clean seal.

There are many works about crossing, and Diablo is absolutely unique.

From music to pictures, it is full of metaphors and has a strong Gothic style.

The story begins with the inexplicable disappearance of several children, and you begin to think that this is a suspense crime-solving drama-

The result is really a mystery drama, but it is not a crime-solving drama, because these disappearances are all unsolved cases.

To say that it has no solution does not mean that it is unbreakable, but that it is an insoluble ring, a closed loop that crosses time and space.

People keep trying to open this ring and change their destiny, but after countless efforts, they find that everything they do is in vain.

There are not many people, but actually many.

Because the story contains five or six time and space, and even the stories of four families in parallel worlds, they wear them in different time and space, and see themselves in different times and spaces.

Not to mention that they often have different names and different relationships.

It is often the "old" of this time and space who looks at the "small" of that time and space and talks about a long fog.

But you can't skip it, because when you are distracted, it jumps to another time and space. What you miss is to make things look like the key plot of this time and space. ...

In short, I am kneeling for a foreigner who is seriously face-blind, and I keep pausing in the process of watching the drama, pulling back the last paragraph over and over again … over and over again.

But this is such an obscure thing that you can't get rid of it while you are obsessed with it-not because of chicken ribs, but because ... it's really a unique feeling to find abuse from yourself.

At least, when it finally gives you a happy and warm ending, you suddenly feel that everything in front of you is dark and obscure and swept away.

I can't help but sigh: ah, I finally finished reading it; It's really special ... It's a long story.

Give a suggestion to those who are interested in this drama: don't stop, don't stop, read it from beginning to end in one breath, and then go online to find a raiders map to interpret; If you still like it when you have time, brush it twice.

A brush, certainly not very clear.

The brain hole is too big.

Because I'm not good at it, I'm not going to draw a mind map or anything. Or a personal feeling.

Some micro spoilers. But it's not serious.

I just want to talk about some things that touched me the most in Diablo III.

In the first season, Diablo focused on layout and opened the picture of the story: people in the town, mainly adults (as elders), found themselves at the nodes of time and space changes, even the whole town.

What is happening now seems to be the result of many years ago, when they were teenagers.

So they go back and argue about what happened in the past, even though they were happy before.

Sudden events broke the calm on the surface, and when parents wrestled together like local ruffians, the children on the sidelines were shocked:

"You never know what kind of past your parents have."

Yeah, who hasn't been young?

Who hasn't had joy, struggle, calculation, gloom and fantasy?

Just out of selfishness and self-esteem, parents seldom tell you the details of their past.

What I tell you occasionally are all filtered "stories".

Maybe they don't want to affect their image, maybe they don't want the next generation to experience what they have experienced.

However, when extreme situations occur (such as time travel in Diablo), children begin to resent their parents' dishonesty: if it weren't for their parents' concealment, they might have less adolescent pain.

There is never a correct answer between parents and children, whether to say or not, and how to say it.

Finally, the children saw their parents when they were young, just like seeing another self.

Unfortunately, they still don't know what will happen or the closed loop of time and space that repeats every 33 years.

At the end of the first season, the hero even crossed into the future:

Has the truth come out?

Don't be so naive, okay?

Things have just begun.

To what extent did the past create the future?

And going back to the past can change the future?

This is the main topic in the second season of Diablo, which shows the paradox of time travel in an extreme way.

It is said that there is a very important rule in the traveler's code that "selves" in different time and space cannot meet.

And "Diablo" tore this code to pieces.

Above, it is a middle-aged man vs a young man.

In the dark, it is not just a person, it is not just a time and space.

"Crosswalkers" wear in large groups; At the same time, you can see the "self" of three age groups in the air at the same time. ...

But if you think Diablo is a vulgar drama that goes back to the past and predicts the future, it is all wet.

Why do you think this man is wandering in three parts of time and space?

Because he wants everything to return to the original point, to "normal"-even if the way to return to the original point is that he was not "born".

So, you see the causal paradox caused by time travel:

Middle-aged self desperately asks something about young self, what should and should not be done,

He thought that as long as he avoided the pits he had trodden in those years, he could change his trajectory and not make the same mistakes, so he would not have to bear the suffering he had suffered from adolescence to middle age.

And the old celebration looked at the ignorant boy himself and the middle-aged himself, just sneer at:

Why don't you understand that if you hadn't reached middle age and tried to influence you as a teenager, your life wouldn't have become what I am now-everything is futile and ridiculous.

This is no longer a question of chickens and eggs.

But each of us, because the past determines every moment, every seemingly insignificant behavior, and finally achieves "I".

This "I" can't be determined until the moment of closing the coffin.

What is terrible in the play is that more than one person tries the same thing as the male host.

So you can imagine that this filtered space-time is moved by this person today and poked by that person tomorrow. ...

This is fate, this is fate: the so-called fate is just a force of particle fusion, interweaving, compromise-final fusion.

Everyone thinks he can change something, but all kinds of accidents have caused a more complicated situation:

My mother slept with her best friend's husband and son, so my aunt and I fell in love; The daughter of the policewoman next door gave birth. Should she call her mother or daughter?

In the absurd closed loop of time travel, some people want to open the loop, others want to continue, what is the ending, what other incredible things have happened or what other incredible things have happened that you don't know?

The problems in the second season have not been completely solved, and in the third season, Diablo throws out a parallel world.

The same group of people, in another world, are also looking up and down.

If the relationship between people is disrupted again, the end of the world will come, and the "loss" that people are afraid of will eventually be lost.

If the first and second seasons have always promoted the plot from the perspective of the male host, then the third season has set the perspective of the female host.

Two worlds, two roads.

One is to destroy everything, everything disappears, and "pain" will disappear, even at the expense of love.

One wants to keep a closed loop forever, and everyone must go his own way, so that his love will not disappear, even if the pain will not disappear.

To this end, they constantly pull people into their own camp and manipulate the lives of "others" and even "themselves" in different time and space.

It is hard to say who is right or wrong, and who can lead the fallen people back to the "right path" in reincarnation.

Or, there is a third way.

In the third season, the man and the woman stood under the huge painting curtain of "Adam" and "Eve" countless times, and then thought about the cover poster of the play. The tunnel through time and space looks like a female birth canal-

You know, this story is actually related to the origin of human beings, religion and the concept of life and death.

They fought to the death and finally achieved the same goal.

Light and darkness coexist; No one can live without anyone.

And their origins must be the same, just like the original big bang.

As long as you cut off the source, you don't have to choose which way to go to heaven or hell;

The questions are gone, so naturally there is no need for alternative answers.

And the best way to stop the paradox of time travel and all kinds of tragedies caused by it is to stop the time travel machine from being invented-

This final ending, some people feel a little unfinished, because the front is too difficult to understand, this ending is too light and pleasing to the eye.

I think it's quite good. It appeals to both refined and popular tastes.

The concept of "Schrodinger's cat" is introduced into the finale, so it can be analyzed very complicated;

But it can also be particularly easy to understand-I think this may be the author's sympathy for people with brain damage like me.

Besides, the last small theater clearly tells you that all this is far from over.
