Serial Experiment Lain: philosophy disguised as entertainment


Again we are through Friday, and to relieve some stress of the week, I talk about a range of only thirteen chapters, although it is known, I believe that at least in Spain is poorly understood.

Serial Experiment Lain, is a series of 1998, which shows us a world that is not so different from ours, the truth is to do a short synopsis of the series, is complicated, without disclosing important parts of the plot at I may quote the synopsis that makes this series filmaffity.


"Lain Iwakura, an introverted girl of 14 years, only relates to the Network for that reason does not know about e-mails that are circulating about a classmate who has just committed suicide, Chisa Yomoda. A week after the suicide, Lain received this e-mail from Chisa: "I would like you, at least you, know that I'm alive. My spirit is here, and on the Web I have found God." Upon receipt, Iwakura Lian began his research on the Internet, trying to find an explanation for this incredible message ..." Filmaffinity


There are many interesting aspects of this care would be, first the plot, like spectators at a certain moment we are completely lost, until they reach the end of the thirteen chapters and have a global vision of the plot, this, that in it may seem a defect is the opposite, because when we finish watching the series, which we ourselves begin to connect all the data we had.

Two other aspects that stand out as notable, are on the one hand, care graphic aspect, which I consider a good direction, and the soundtrack. As for the visuals, with certain moments in which the number is closer to the video creation that cinematic concept, separates the two realities that are experienced in the series. Also include the images in terms of careful composition, something, perhaps appreciably less now, but at the time to leave me quite marked, with an aesthetic, clean and balanced on one hand and yet another confusing and noisy, which mixing will happen gradually as chapters, to make us understand the message of the series.

As for the soundtrack included the great work, not only for excellence in electronic issues, if not in the small details that sound throughout the series will permeate the small moments in this world, near future, where technology and connection dominates everything. As I said before, this is more normal now, at the time of his 1998 performance, it was more a theory than a reality. Even with the passage of time, I think to do this series is a great investment, and after thirteen chapters, we'll stay, safe, wanting to know more.
