守望尘世第二季

K：Would you believe me?
N：I would believe you.
K：And would you come back?
N：I'd like that.

“It all makes sense now. Virgil (the older Black man in the trailer), was actually Erika's father, and not John's. Virgil sexually assaulted Evie when she was around 10 years old, and her mother Erica did not want to believe it was happening (perhaps she was also abused by him as a child, and so she was in denial about his predatory nature). Still in denial about the abuse, Erika did not do anything to protect Evie, and this is why Evie felt detached from her family and resentful towards her mother... and eventually why she decided to join Meg and the Guilty Remant, because she bonded with Meg for having a similar hatred for their mothers. This is also why Evie wrote on the bridge that her mother understood why she was doing all this (because of Erika's apathy and denial during Evie's childhood abuse). 6 years ago, John found out about Erika's father abusing Evie and then shot him, and so then John went to prison for the attempted murder of his father-in-law. John had been filled with rage ever since... not just towards Virgil (his father-in-law) for the abuse... but also towards Erika (his wife) for not doing enough to protect their daughter from Virgil. Erika was so detached and disallusioned from that tragedy, that she was going to leave her family and take off because she just couldn't deal with everthing (she told Nora about this during her departure interview). Meg initially joined the Guilty Remnant last year because she was disallusioned with her life and just totally lost... but during her time there, she saw the truth, in that the Guilty Remnant was actually a bullshit cult and wrong about everything, and that the loving bond of family was the ONLY thing that truly mattered. Laurie, indirectly, helped Meg see this by the strong feelings she couldn't hide that she still had for her daughter Jill (the G.R. was teaching everyone the opposite, in that they said nothing mattered, as the world had ended on 10/14). Meg figured out that the G.R. was a fraud and decided to take control of her branch of the group and do things her own way, and it was then that she planned this grand gesture in Jarden Texas to get people to wake up and see what really mattered to them... and she did this thru the bomb scare on the bridge...and by doing so, she also enabled all the lost people trapped in the campgrounds to have the freedom to move into the town as they had been so desperate to do for as long as they had been there (she hated the hypocrisy of the privileged town's people). She made a similar gesture towards Tom earlier in the season, as she tried to scare him back into caring about what really mattered to him (his family), when she raped him (to get him "pregnant", by planting the seed of realization of the truth), and by scaring him to death, by pretending to douse him with gasoline. She did all these thngs to scare people out of their tortured misery and apathy, and back into the reality of what really mattered - the love for the people most close to them in their lives (their family). If the series is renewed for a 3rd season, then I fully expect it will focus primarily on the Murphys (John, Erika, Michael, and Evie), and less on Kevin and his family, as his demons have been vanquished. He literally went to Hell and back again (twice) to find his way back home to his family, and so his story is finally resolved. Kevin finally feels grounded and at peace with what happened on 4 years earlier on October 14th, and so he is no longer suicidal or afraid... and finally able to allow himself to love, and be loved in return. He has been reborn.”

本来只想写个小短评，可说着说着字就多了。片子里的内含离天朝观众太远。荒诞，世界，真实，虚幻，宗教，信仰，混乱，崩塌，野心，毁灭，救赎，虚假，痛苦，挣扎，解脱，绝望，拯救，死亡，重生。。等等等等。最后回归的主流价值观，家庭，家人，Family。

想要说全，说完整是在太难。我就已一个点，作为切入聊几句。

在一个荒诞虚伪的世界里，人们假装快乐。因为假装的时间太长，太投入，最后连自己都忘了自己在假装。（这就是为什么剧里男主角，第二季的女黑人问加入白衣会的女儿，和一些人都在问的：我不明白，不理解I don't understand？你们到底在干吗？想干嘛？，而白衣会的人回答：你明白，其实你懂的You understand。）10月14日，人们消失，只是放大了，着重了，这个客观事实罢了。而这个事实，一直都存在。在10月14日人们消失之前存在，在10月14日人们消失这后存在。奇迹小镇没有人类消失事件，他们用欢声笑语，诗歌粉饰着小镇，他们唱着上帝赦免了他们。可结果呢？其实他们跟外面是一样的。黑人一家没有经历家人消失之痛，可他们的女儿却成了白衣会的忠臣，他们做梦也想不到看上去开心快乐品学兼优诗歌班领唱，不会有人想要伤害的他们的小女儿，会这样。在10月14日之前，女黑人就想背着自己的丈夫和两个儿女离开自己的家一走了之。诺拉在抱怨自己4岁的女儿打翻了橙汁，耽误了自己重新工作的机会，儿子吵闹要吃饭，老公在一边跟个没事人似的，而自己为家庭付出了一切，老公却跟孩子的幼儿园老师出轨。帕蒂块被自己的丈夫逼疯了，却仍然无法离开他。凯文和劳里都是二婚且带着孩子，他们重新组建的家庭也如泡沫一般，看似美好，实则末路。凯文一直在撒谎，比如抽烟，在假装，比如劳里想养条小狗，他表面满心换新表示支持，但其实他并不想养什么狗。当劳里嘲讽他去忙着救小鹿的时候，凯文对劳里说：fuck you 劳里。正如第二季黑人对他老婆说的一样。劳里怀孕可她却不想要这个孩子，并且一直没有告诉过凯文她曾怀孕。汤姆和他生父的关系，凯文也想离家出走一走了之。梅格在她母亲死亡的前几分钟，还在不耐烦，叛逆的对抗，当场给她母亲开支票还钱，去厕所吸白粉才能让她继续有耐心跟母亲沟通，听她唠叨。当她从厕所出来，母亲就死在她面前，成了她终身的遗憾。可当人们得知她母亲是在10月13号去世，而不是14号消失的时候，人们说什么？“哦~ 她是13号死的” “你真幸运” “起码知道她的去向” 可是真的幸运吗？对梅格来说是多么残忍和可笑。


在经过一系列痛苦磨难的挣扎后 ，男主角凯文开始对他的第三任诺拉袒露心声。凯文告诉诺拉，他把帕蒂带走毒打绑起来，然后放她走，帕蒂在他面前自杀，他和马特把帕蒂埋了。诺拉告诉凯文她曾找妓女开枪打自己。这些都是极度的隐私，在过去除非疯了才会说（之前凯文连背着前妻抽烟这种P事都要撒谎）人们开始渐渐的不再撒谎欺骗和隐瞒，但只需如此就能让生活变的真正美好吗？显然没这么容易。所以有了第二季，和将要播出的第三季。10月14日后，一部分继续在假装（甚至比之前还有过之而无不及。因为14号人类消失这个无法解释的事件出现后，他们连这件事也一起假装过去了，一切OK的样子），一部分人挂了，一部分人疯了，一部分人跑偏了，一部分人跟一部分人打起来了。最后，一部分人找到了人生的真谛，生活的真谛。

第一季的结尾，几张饱经风霜的脸上终于都露出了笑容，已经碎成无数片的生活，终于又一点一点被粘合了起来，新的一季，新的故事，就将在这个被称为miracle的小镇开始。
从这个小镇的名字，以及种种细节，我们不难推测出，“十月四日消失事件”对它没有影响，所有居民都留了下来，这也让它成为了又一个精神上的符号——就如同黑先知、GR等等。外界的人们一批批地进入，只为一个纪念品、一个护身符，甚至连水也可以成为商品。一个个被消失事件深深伤害的人，都渴望从这个圣地抓住一丝一毫的安全感。
然而，这个小镇并没有表面看上去那样和善光明。John只因认为别人咒他倒霉，就直接烧了他的房子（而且他没有什么朋友来参加他的生日聚会，他还能直接地，若无其事地对一个陌生人说自己蹲过监狱），从他们对level的分级上看，这样的事情他们已经干过很多次，很熟练了，而且Issac并没有报警之类的意图，居然就这样让这件事过去了。
小镇里还有其他许多的奇怪之处：一个一直住在塔上的老人；一个人很不礼貌地打断Matt神父的讲话，好像不想听他讲他的经历；路上的裂缝（可能是频繁的地震的结果）；穿着婚纱浇花的人；以及最诡异的，一夜之间干掉的池塘和Evie的神秘失踪。
还有两个细节，一是John听到的蟋蟀或蛐蛐之类昆虫的叫声，可能类似于第一季Kevin一直看到的鹿。二是Evie和她的朋友裸体在林间奔跑以及她的癫痫，可能与她失踪的原因有关。
至于开头那很长的一段史前人类的情景，每当鹰击长空之时，就有转折发生：第一次，山崩，母亲与她的族人分离；第二次，母亲因蛇毒而死，孩子在她怀中无助地哭泣，另一个人走过来，抱走了孩子......
不管有什么艰难险阻，生命就这样延续，人类，就这样，代代相传。
最后一点，也许是为了呼应第一季结尾那看似团圆的结局，这一季的BGM，除了那首忧伤的钢琴曲，风格总体还是偏向欢快类型的，然而，更欢快的音乐，企图掩盖的，是不是更深、更痛的悲伤呢？

尽管这部剧节奏慢的要死，但是，却充满了让人欲罢不能的感动。

如果没有Matt在30几分钟的时候出场，我一度以为自己看了一部假的《守望尘世》。还有主角怎么可以再47分钟的时候才出场嘞？
第一季结尾，本以为父女俩手牵手，母子俩手牵手，最后会是个四口之家团聚的结局，而Nora会领养小孩后，重新生活，没想到啊，真是没想到啊！

S02E03
有时候，有些坎儿可能永远都迈不过去。我们能做的只是让时间把它一点一点磨平，但永远抹不去。看到Laurie在出版商面前时空的样子，让我想起了《胡丽叶塔》里相似的情节。遗忘不是永恒。

S02E05
虽然不了解基督教的文化，但当Matt代替那个被架在车顶的人的时候，我开始相信耶稣被钉在十字架上的事情了。

S02E06
当所有的不切实际遇到一起的时候，即使他显得更加不切实际，但我们也得接受这种不切实际额了。
女人的直觉好准。

S02E07
一日夫妻百日恩，最后都融情于血了。

S02E08
理解至上。所有症结皆有源。
有时候不是生活困住了我们，是我们自己困住了自己。但有时候不是自己逼着自己，是生活逼着我们。

S01E09
This is such a small world.
有时候，我们生活里缺的可能仅仅是信念本身，无论这所谓的信念假借于什么，只要他存在，我们就好像有了某种支柱一般。
行走在这个世界当中，就像是在和各种信仰斗争的一个过程，你选择的，你坚持的，你抛弃的，你反抗的，总之，总得给自己找点儿事做。

S02E10
美国家长心真大，大半夜的就敢让三个女高中生开车去游泳？Are you kidding me？
三个女生到达水库的时间节点与Kevin到水库自杀的时间有些问题啊，不管怎么说也不可能同时到达了，那就更别提提前到了。一个人梦游，发生了时空穿越？
为什么电视剧里非得有几个这种傻—角色呢？
信仰攻占地球。
无知是生活对我们最大的嘲讽。
Kevin的生活就是我们每个人的生活，真实。
