SENSE 8
SENSE8
The TV show I am going to talk you about was created
by the Wachowski sisters. Named SENSE8, it is about eight people living in
different countries around the world who suddenly end up connecting without
knowing each other. They are now sharing the same emotions, feelings and mental
capacities.
The particularity of this TV show is that the main
goal is to get people to meet. The creators of the show wanted to connect
people from different horizons, cultures and religions and make them feel like
they were the same: this is why all the characters are sharing the same
emotions and brains. This TV show represents global culture because it is the
first one to be filmed in seven different countries, one for each character,
and thus show people the sceneries and cultures of these countries. It makes
this story unique because through it, the creators and actors are really
traveling around the world to get those people filmed in their own environment
and home. They are all sharing their religions, their way of life and their languages
with one another but also with the rest of the world through the screen.
Together, they enable people to see that it doesn’t
matter where you’re from because in the end we are all the same. They find each
other and understand that they are all different when it comes to their origins
but that deeply, they are the same. The creators want to make the world witness
that when people connect and share what they know and who they are, it just
makes them better and stronger. They remind people that the world is a place to
meet and that nowadays, we can go anywhere we want to meet whoever we want. Furthermore,
in the world we live in, we are able to get our mind opened and our heart as
well.
To conclude, the Wachowski sisters, through SENS8,
remind us that people who travel everyday keep our world global and our
cultures mixed. In addition, even though humanity still has progress to make,
these images of a perfect harmonious world are a perspective we will continue
to believe in and to reach eventually.
This series sounds really interesting.
ReplyDeleteI watched this series a long time ago and totally enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteFirst, the media Canelle chose, a TV show, is an excellent support. It obviously is a clear demonstration of modern societies’ cultures. Nowadays, people are getting more and more informed and entertained by watching series.
Concerning the topic of Sense 8, it just could not be more linked with global culture and multiculturalism.
Indeed, we discover 8 characters coming from all around the world, as well as their habits, mindsets and traditions.
Through this series, each character is appropriating other cultures, which always makes him stronger than he was alone. Being supported by others makes them accomplish anything they want.
Furthermore, this TV show brings a new vision of different universal subjects such as homosexuality or criminality.
Also, it allows us to identify to the characters with their own ways of life and discover incredible environments from various parts of the world.
Finally, I believe that this article reveals the multicultural aspect of the series Sense 8. First because TV shows are being a part of our culture, but also because its topic is undeniably linked with globalization and multiculturality.
For both those reasons, I agree with the fact that Sense 8 embodies global culture.
