How a brave writer and captivating atmosphere make it an unexpected story
18 November 2023
Before watching the movie and reading the plot summary, there were doubts about its ability to captivate and the genre not being a favorite. However, after watching all four seasons, I believe that everyone should see this movie and enjoy watching it. There are always some problems though.

One of the strengths of the film is the brave and creative writer behind it. This writer is not afraid to create an unknown world and is fully aware of where they are going with the story. This fearlessness is evident in the way the story unfolds, keeping the audience engaged and interested throughout.

Another strength of the movie is the professional and precise character development. The main character goes through logical stages of growth, and nothing happens without reason. This attention to detail in character development adds depth and believability to the story, making it easier for the audience to connect with the characters and become emotionally invested in their journeys.

Furthermore, the music, camera work, set design, and costumes in the film are exceptional. The music sets the mood and tone of each scene, heightening the emotions and enhancing the overall viewing experience. The camera work captures the intricacies of the world, the characters, and the action with precision, creating visually stunning frames. The set design and costumes further add to the atmosphere, reflecting the unique characteristics of the world and the personalities of the characters.

In addition to these strengths, the film also excels in its memorable characters and the director's vision. The protagonist goes through a remarkable journey of self-discovery and growth, starting as an ordinary individual and facing various challenges that push them to their limits. The supporting characters are equally well-developed, contributing to the overall richness and depth of the narrative.

The director's artistic vision and ability to create a captivating atmosphere are commendable. Through their use of music, camera work, and set design, they transport the audience to an unknown world, immersing them in its intricacies and complexities. The attention to detail in the set design and costumes adds to the overall experience, with each location and outfit reflecting the unique characteristics of the world.

In conclusion, this film stands out for its intriguing story, well-developed characters, and skillful direction. The combination of the brave and creative writer, the professional character development, and the captivating atmosphere created through music, camera work, set design, and costumes make this film a must-watch. Regardless of one's preferred genre, the world created in this movie will captivate and transport viewers to a realm of imagination and wonder.

But this film unfortunately, falls short in establishing a strong and believable connection between the two worlds of Canada and the United States. Despite the intriguing premise, there seems to be a lack of coherence and seamless integration between the two settings. The transitions between the two worlds feel disjointed and abrupt, leaving the audience feeling disconnected and confused.

In general, the strong points of the series are much more than the negative points and it can be said that it is a successful and honorable series.
