Letter Wording Pregnancy

That the island was a metaphor, dammit, all you have to explain it!

As always, we blame ourselves, the viewers, we do not understand the lyrical and conceptual beauty. The creators of Lost have given us a rich array of philosophy and theology where we can grasp human nature and the meaning of life, and over, to make matters worse, we offer an exceptional final chapter full of mysticism and religion that reconciles us with our like closing a circle started six years ago so rewarding, worthwhile and, above all, enriching our spirit. But us, we, spectators ingrates! instead of treasuring those moments of indescribable beauty that truly respond to questions important, we are mired in trifles such as that which was actually the island or why it had healing powers, or why women could not have children in it and so millions of stupid questions to infinity. We have no forgiveness from God.

The delicate situation of "Lost" reminds me of the movie "The Wizard of Oz" Dorothy and her faithful dog Toto, the scarecrow, the tin man and lion are in search of a great magician who solves them all problems and questions quickly and easily, but unfortunately, the great magician is a fraud that has nothing to offer that for many years has been living in a loan that could never afford. But the funny thing is that when the caught in the act, the magician escapes on a tangent saying, "but how I'll give you something you already have?! I'm not important, what matters is the journey we have made to visit me, because during this journey have achieved what most deseabais! "As with" Lost "takes something like: they have given enough time to sack that lost the final would be the cane from Spain, which would resolve all doubts, it would be a milestone in television history yyyyyyyy ... and when the last chapter and most spectators color freak (Negatively speaking), the creators of Lost jump into the fray and say so pretty: "The important thing is the journey of the protagonists, and that we have resolved itself. The rest is anecdotal "thus initiating the fool, a Byzantine debate over what was important in the series: the players or the mysteries of an island, already very mysterious. And I ask the creators of the invention: but do you think we are idiot or what? Take away all the mysteries series and all the puzzles and what's left? A soap opera like Robinson Crusoe with a dozen cardboard characters with less depth than the pool of young children. What really leveraged the front of the TV audience were all these unanswered questions, the weekly dose of (limited) information. The characters are clearly important, but certainly not the most important of the series. So ... what is most important for "Lost"? Is the island? Error! The key issue is the mystery of the island. And that mystery has been solved at all. And because of the many contradictions best or talk.

But we are good for a moment and perform an exercise in credulity. Okay, we accept ship as aquatic animal and most important of the series are the characters and creators in each chapter discusses human nature through a mystical-religious prism. Okay, my credulity not go that far. "What" Lost "examines human nature? Now, do not bother me. The characters are archetypes (very cleverly created, I do not deny) that unfolds in a particular situation. But if you try to deepen or, worse, the characters evolve, the archetype collapses (the archetypes do not tolerate changes) and in the end the character is shown as it really is: a stereotype as the crown of a pine. Regarding the background of the characters ... the truth is they are quite reactionary style Charles Bronson the Death Wish: the minimum being tortured or beaten beating people (as Benjamin had him as an Ecce Homo) or killing in cold blood or worse, justifying these murders in cold blood. For example, the character of Sayid was not wasted: the guy is a torturer of women and children in search of redemption. Okay, okay. Only one problem: Redemption means to repent of your sins and, above all, not fall back into them, and Sayid, very sorry he was put to torture at every opportunity and enjoyed it up sometimes (like when he tortured Ben .) I still remember the talk of Sayid and Charlie when the first finished torturing Ben: "When innocent people tortured me feel bad, but torture Ben I have not had that feeling," ... we are sending eehh the message that torture the bad guys right? Thorny issue is not it?


Another thorny issue that has no answer why his nose was to protect the island. Jacob said it was for that evil does not escape from it (meaning the black Jumilla bad as it was his brother.) Okay, but the problem is that BEFORE the brother became the black smoke was already a protector of the island (his adoptive mother psychopath.) Then, unfortunately, the response of Jacob not enough for me. Another theme that enough is squama submit to Jacob as the good guy, all friendly, kind and dialogue. Heck, we've forgotten that it was Jacob through whom Richard brainwashed him Benjamin for a good day gassed to all members of the Dharma Initiative, women and children included, by bastards. Jacob MOLA! And another thing that bothers me is that ...


Anyway, could start and not stop and I do not fancy too. One of the reasons for my recollection is that I realized the futility of most things and LOST not going to be less. What is the mystery of the island? One idea in the mind of a writer in the end did not dare to put on paper because it would not satisfy the spectators after six years to fuel the fire and generating expectations impossible to please. And that does not cut the eggs best escapes on a tangent (like our Wizard of Oz) and leads to a final metaphysical-philosophical-religious and throws miles. And you do not like is that there is a real fan of "Lost" and fuck.


For me the island is a metaphor for the parts of chungas the Bible, specifically the Old Testament, Genesis, Chapter 22, verses 1 to 19 (according to Wikipedia ) in which God ordered Abraham to kill his firstborn. Island is a god and his prophet Jacob (who understood the island on your way.) Jacob brought the "other" from all over the world, again lost fans with one mission: to defend the island to the hilt, no matter the crime, bloodshed or the lives biased: the island should prevail.


Jacob In my humble opinion was a bastard son of a bitch and the island a lot of shit that should disappear from the face of the earth. This end I would have loved: the island bursting and all the players free from the spell of the archipelago of the balls, denying once and for all higher powers that controlled and the Crusades that had shed their blood. Unfortunately this has not happened. Have made an end for people to release the tear and the atrocities of the past better not to talk. For me, "Lost" is a metaphor of religious fanaticism, of how some unhappy be manipulated in hopes of paradise or responses that give meaning to their lives. In effect: "to give them."





And now vidreo. To get started, you put the debate of Four which triggered the controversy: were dead or not? The red has no fucking idea (video uploaded by Vul69 ).


And here I leave the explanation of a real expert, courtesy of Ka0tik0.


PD: I really would not say a peep from the end of LOST but my colleague Jorge asked me and here's an opinion expressed with irony and humor. I do not believe in absolute truths and my criticism never are.
