Stranger Things : Makers announce spin off show to this beautiful sci-fi series .
The show Stranger Things premiered on Netflix in July of this year and has quickly become a pop-culture phenomenon. From the moment the first episode aired, everyone went crazy for it: reviews, opinions, social media trends — it’s almost as if there was a force that pulled us all together to love what we had once loathed. The show takes place in the 80s and follows a group of friends who find themselves caught up in some strange events involving supernatural forces and secret government exploits.
What is the plot of the story ?
The series begins with the disappearance of a child named Will Byers. The only evidence that something bad had happened is a strange sequence of lights and unknown origin found in the sky. A boy disappears up ahead. In a small Indiana town, Sheriff Hopper checks out the scene where this event took place, while his daughter, who is fascinated by anything related to science, spends time with her friends in a nearby park.
Who is in the cast ? What role did each character portray ?
The cast include Millie Bobby Brown , Finn Wolfhard , Gaten Matarazzo , Caleb McLaughlin , Noah Schnapp , Cara Buono and Natalia Dyer. Each character is portrayed by an actor as different as possible, each with a different skill. We have : Will, who is the protagonist of the story; Joyce, his mother; Lucas, his older brother; Jonathan and Nancy, his two siblings; Mike, their friend (who seems to know everything about the case); Dustin, their friend from high school whom Will had a crush on in the beginning; and Eleven. The latter plays an important role in this story because she is able to manipulate electronics with her mind.
What are the difficulties they face ?
The first problem is the disappearance of Will Byers. The second issue is the appearance of the supernatural forces and secret government. The series was filmed in several places such as Chicago, Georgia and Vermont. The creators stated that they wanted to preserve some authenticity, so the audience could believe in the story. The main theme of Stranger Things is the discovery of the world. The young actors found themselves in a situation where they had to discover what life really is.
We see that characters have changed since the beginning of the story, and it is not because of Will’s disappearance — something new had occurred. These changes are not only physical but also moral. They are linked to the idea that we can be influenced by our environment, especially if it has an effect on our emotions and thoughts.
Who is the antagonist ? What are its motives ?
At the beginning, it is not the bad guy (who comes first in your list of suspects), but Will’s mother who has an issue with feeling helpless and wanting to get back at her husband. In terms of the supernatural forces, they appear to be linked to a mysterious laboratory located near the woods. The secret government is made up of scientists belonging to a highly confidential department, who are secretly carrying out experiments on subjects affecting the human mind.
What are the epic scenes ?
There are many epic scenes, but the first one is probably when the young actress steps into her role for the first time. She was twelve years old at the time of shooting and had to face her fears in front of a camera almost a hundred people. After watching Stranger Things, it becomes obvious that Millie Bobby Brown is not only a talented young actress, but also an amazing dancer (when she dances to “Hiding Out” by Sky Ferreira). Another epic moment is when they are looking for one another while being separated.
Who is the most loved character ?
There are two characters who are most liked by audiences, and that is because they represent the extremes of human nature. Eleven, who has been raised in a laboratory, is the most desired child because she is the key to unlocking important secrets. She manages to escape at one point, but when she comes back she realizes that her mother is dead.
Would you recommend watching this ?
The answer is yes, but you must have patience and do not expect any spectacular moments at the beginning. If you go in with the idea that this is a fantasy story which does not make sense, there will be a lot of disappointment. But if you give it time to unfold, the magic will happen. Thanks for reading !
