What do the string numbers (4,8, 15,16,23,42) in Lost mean?

The play really didn't say how the numbers came from, but it doesn't matter anymore. Lost in the final analysis is just a TV series, what is needed is a selling point. The important thing is to attract people.

As for dharma initiative, it is a scientific research institution. It is said on the Internet to prevent human beings from being destroyed, but there seems to be no basis. Yy, come on.

Because in the original play, at the end of the fifth season, when they just entered the light source, we can see from the conversation between two scientists that one said that it would be dangerous to stop drilling, and the other said that I had to finish my research at any cost. There shouldn't be such irresponsible people to save the earth, should there? It can be seen from the conversation that dharma initiative is a scientific research plan and has no substantive role ~

In fact, if you look at the whole loss, you will find that the result is not important, just like losing the whole central idea. Pay attention to the process.

Here's an introduction:

The screenwriter wrote this in his Weibo: Remember. Put it down. Go ahead. I can't express my memory of being lost in words.

Damon lindelof wrote, "Remember. Let go. Look ahead. I will miss it more than I can say. "

There will never be such a play again, which touched my soul so clearly, made me cry, made me suddenly enlightened, touched my heart and finally understood.

It is not only the so-called puzzles and answers in the play that are clear; But understand what kind of life this is.

-someone will understand; Some people don't understand.

Please don't worry if you don't understand. Because you haven't met anything that touches your soul. As for spirituality, once you understand it, you will understand everything.

Lost has been popular in the American TV drama market for six years, in which countless "strange cases" and "problems" are confusing and trivial. Everyone expects an ultimate answer, so they have high expectations for the finale. Although I have had all kinds of guesses and fantasies about the ending, I even feel that it is difficult to satisfy the ending anyway. But I never expected that the shock and emotion of the finale was far beyond my expectation. It not only solves almost all the remaining problems and gives the ultimate answer, but also makes us rethink life: why do we meet some people, why do we have something with them, why do we miss it, and why do some things have results and some don't? Is this all true? What is "truth"? Is it meaningful for us to come into this world? Why are we here? Where are we going? ……

Since the launch of the sixth season, everyone thinks that Juliet's action has been successful, the future has changed, and everyone has lived a harmonious and peaceful happy life. I can't help but feel disappointed when I see the ending set, think of that moment and recall the "what happened, what happened" in my ear. In fact, the so-called "parallel world" is more precisely the soul space of the dead. Everyone here is unconsciously paying attention to what they care about most, and the people they love most and what they want most in their last life are all realized here. That's not because the future has changed and the plane has never crashed; But because in this space created by everyone, there are the most sincere dreams shining.

That's why Jack has a "fictional" son and made up with him. John has a father who loves him, not a liar who ruthlessly took one of his kidneys; Daniel went on with his favorite music and became a pianist instead of a physicist. James became a policeman, not a criminal; Ben has a good nature of kindness and tolerance, serving his sick father instead of poisoning him himself; That's why Boone said to Hugo, I've been waiting for you here for a long time … and so on.

Everyone is introspecting and redeeming himself before going to heaven. Inadvertently "patched up" my previous life and made up for my lifelong regret. But also invisibly arrange them to meet and contact with the most important people in their lives again. As Jack's father Christian explained to him, "This is a world created by everyone together, in order to bring everyone back. No one dies alone. Those important people in your life should complete this journey with you. "

Desmond was the first to wake up, so he smiled and asked Charles to lead the way and do what he should do in the real world. This is why we will take the initiative to gather people in the soul world and create opportunities for them to "remember". Therefore, when Jack found blood on his neck several times in previous episodes, we all didn't understand what was going on like him. Until he finally touched his father's coffin, his whole life and his most precious fragments were so strongly inspired.

He finally understood.

As an audience, I once imagined what the final answer was. Unexpectedly, the final answer was actually a warm conversation before heaven. I think, each of us is chasing, asking and thinking … but many questions are meaningless until you get to the end. What really matters is the process we have passed under our feet, the people we have met, our emotions, our perceptions, and the brilliance of our potential humanity.

The conversation in the church goes like this:

Jack asked, dad, I don't understand. Now that you are dead, why are you here?

Father said, then how did you come?

Jack suddenly realized that I was dead, too. .

The father hugged his painful son and said, nothing, nothing, nothing. I love you, son.

Jack: I love you too. Dad, are you ... are you real?

Father smiled: Yes, I am real, and so are you. Everything that happens in your life, everything, is real. Everyone you meet in your life is real.

Jack: Then why are we all here?

Father: Actually, no one died alone, son. This is a world that we created together to find each other.

Jack: What's that for?

Father: Remember your life, put it down and move on.

Jack: Come on, where to?

Father smiled: Come, let's go and have a look.

The film constantly switches between two worlds and returns to the real world. Jack went back to the beginning of the story before he died. After watching the last few people leave by plane, he finally closed his eyes with relief. Recalling the first episode of the first season, Jack lay here and opened his eyes in horror. This section of the road is complete.

If Jack still dies in the suit in the first episode, it is a fable, and the screenwriter is naive; Beauty is beauty in the second place. Jack is not the same jack. Everything that happened here is real. He really experienced it, and now he really sacrificed himself to save the island.

I don't think it's meaningful to investigate the scientific principle of "island heart" in that cave. Because in the end, you will find that it is not what you care about. It sounds ironic, but when you think about it, isn't it similar to life? The "problems" that we try to chase and find are empty until the end.

The protagonist in the play, like every mortal, had dreams, setbacks, regrets and incompleteness, and all died. We think that many things happen randomly, but in fact, God not only has his detailed pre-arrangements, but also allows everyone to choose freely. Lost is a story with religious overtones. A more accurate understanding, I think it is something closer to the soul.

As soon as these people arrived on the island, they sought the answer: where is this? Who is Jacob? I have never seen him before. Number buttons are scary, right? Why do you have to press it? We were placed on the island, right? ……

We used to be like the protagonist, eager to catch Jacob and ask countless questions, ask the truth and get to the bottom of it. But sometimes, when you don't understand the answer, do you?

Jacob, like a metaphor of God, silently pays attention to everyone, their growth, their joys and sorrows. It's not that he can't give you an answer, but that those things are not important and you can't change them.

Now is a tragedy, maybe a good thing; What seems completely impossible now can happen in the future. But this is a collective action, everyone is not a person, maybe everything is decided by nature, or maybe history changes naturally. When we influence ourselves, we also influence our surroundings and everyone we come into contact with. Just like Jacob's election of candidates, the Bible also says that God gives life to people for a purpose, and God has a grand plan that involves everyone.

So, where is the end of all this?

I don't think I will know in my life.

I like, respect and admire this lost ending, because it seems to be an open and closed ending. It only gives one answer. But countless people can give countless understandings. Everyone has a different perspective and sees a completely different world.

Another example is this life.
