Lost大结局最权威最彻底解读:
似乎有一些人还在纠结于Lost最终告诉我们的话:释怀然后继续前进。
所谓“一些人”,不仅仅是那些铁杆捞饭——还有些不太关注的观众也在周日的晚上第一次收看了Lost,看看Lost到底是关于什么的。(很疯狂,但他们确实这么做了!)
我正在被有关Lost大结局的问题连番轰炸,所以,不管你是不是Lost的痴迷者,只要还在苦苦思考寻求理解,下面就是对Lost到底是关于什么的完全彻底的解读:
从前有座岛。岛是真实存在的,岛上的人也是真实存在的。
岛的核心是“光源”。
这个光源是个很好的地方,人们死后会到那里,在那里往生的人们可以重新联系到他们所爱的人。这个地方可以称为天堂,极乐世界,随你喜欢叫什么。那里是你所见过的最美的地方。
如果岛上的光源熄灭了,人们死的时候就不能和爱的人在一起了,他们就“形神俱灭”了。这是一个非常糟糕的事情。
岛上的光源是如此的美丽和强大,人们一直试图占有、研究和利用它——包括最近的一个称为达摩启动计划的科学家小组在岛上居住了数十年。他们从来也没有完全理解这个岛,因为他们是科学信仰者,不是命运信仰者。
为了确保光源不被这样的人们毁掉,小岛需要一个保护者。(古埃及人努力在岛上建造了一座巨大的保护者雕像,但是被一个称为黑岩号的巨大奴隶船撞击后只称下四个脚趾了。)
我们遇到的第一个保护者——Jacob——一个和善但非常迂腐的人,完全遵照他母亲的指示,还把他的弟弟Samuel(也叫黑衣人)扔进了光源里。Samuel面临着“生不如死”的命运(正如他的母亲预言的那样),并且成为了捞饭所称的“黑烟怪”。如果这个邪恶的实体离开或者摧毁了小岛,所有的邪恶都会逃跑到世界各地,光源/天堂也都不复存在。
Jacob需要确保他有一个继任者,以防这样的事情发生。由于1977年的一次原子“事故”导致了人们的生育问题,岛上不再有纯结灵魂或婴儿诞生了。所以Jacob就从岛外选择了一些“候选人”,他到世界各地去见他们,接触他们(所以黑烟怪杀不了他们),然后通过飞机坠毁的方式把他们带到岛上。(保护者可以改变天气使之发生——这可能也是达摩计划研究天气的原因。)
Jack Shepard随大洋航班815来到了小岛。同样有许多相当酷看起来像电视明星一样的人:Sawyer,Kate,Sun,Jin,Sayid和Hurley。他们坠毁到了岛上,而且活了下来。
他们是Jacob的“候选人”。他们命中注定要来这个岛。
Jack命中注定要杀死黑烟怪并且拯救小岛。他花了六季的时间试图解决这件事。
与此同时,黑烟怪一直到处恐吓/杀戮所有人,占据死人的躯体(他有这个能力),并且控制住了在岛上长期居住的Ben来听从他的命令。黑烟最终引诱Ben杀死了Locke(候选人之一)和Jacob。黑烟占据了Locke的躯体。
小岛需要一个新的保护者。
在最终季我们看到出现了另一个现实世界,在那里大洋航班815的所有乘客——包括Jack Shepard——安全降落在了洛山矶,好像飞机从未坠毁在岛上。他们基本上在这个地方花了整整六季试图“释怀”他们生命中最大的遗憾/事件。(Ben的负罪在于害死了自己的女儿Alex,Locke因为他的父亲导致了瘫痪,Jin和Sun的负罪在于放弃了他们的女儿还不知道她是否平安,Hurley的负罪在于他的钱带来了噩运,Sayid的愿望是救Shannon/Nadia,Claire的负罪在于打算把她的孩子送人,Jack的愿望是原谅他的父亲并且打破怪圈自己也成为一个好父亲,等等…)
最终,我们知道了这个地方(在这里航班安全着陆)是从死亡通往光源/天堂的中转站。在那里看到的所有角色都已经死在了不同的时间不同的地点,他们在这个地方重聚(在这里没有时间这个概念)来解决他们仍有的遗憾,重新联系他们所爱的人,然后一起继续前进进入光源。
在Jack牺牲了自己拯救了小岛后,他们都穿过了光源然后永远幸福的生活下去。
他们同生。他们共死。

明白了吗?可能明白了,可能没有。
你们同意吗?可能同意,可能不同意。
这才是Lost的故事真正、根本之美。解释可以是非常开放的。
无论你是爱还是恨这个结局(毫无疑问我是爱),最酷的事情之一是过去的几天我一直都听说有些捞饭越来越喜欢这个结局。我觉得这会是一个让你们喜欢的结局,只要你愿意。
还有多少其他的结局敢这样说呢?

It seems some people are having a hard time abiding by Lost's final message: Let go andmove on.
And by "some people," I mean not only diehard fans—like, ahem, moi—but also casual viewers and people who tuned in for the very first time on Sunday night to see whatLost was all about. (Bat-poop crazy, but yes, they really did!)
I'm still getting bombarded by questions about the Lost finale, so if you, or any of your non-Lost-worshipping friends are still struggling to comprehend, here is a stripped-down guide to whatLost is all about (according to this here idiot)...
There is an island. It really exists, and the people on it do too.
At the heart of this island is a "Light."
This Light is the good place you go to after you die where you get to reconnect with your loved ones in the afterlife. You can call it heaven, Nirvana, or whatever you like. It's the most beautiful place you will ever see.
If the Light on the island goes out, you don't get to be with your loved ones when you die. They simply "cease to exist." And that is a very bad thing.
The Light on the island is so beautiful and powerful, that men will always try to get at it, study it and harness it--including most recently, a group of scientists called the Dharma Initiative who inhabited the island for many decades. They could never fully understand the island because they were men of science, not men of faith.
To make sure the Light isn't destroyed by men like these, the island needs a Protector. (The Egyptians tried to build a giant Protector statue on the island, but it was reduced to a four-toed foot when a giant slave ship called the Black Rock hit it.)

The first Protector we met, Jacob, was sweet but a total dumbass who did exactly what his mother told himnot to, and threw his brother Samuel (also called the Man in Black) into the Light. Samuel faced a fate "worse than death" (as his mother foretold), and became whatLost fans call "the Smoke Monster." If this evil entity were to leave or destroy the island, all the evil would escape out into the world, and the Light/heaven would be no more.
Jacob needed to make sure that he had a successor, to prevent this from ever happening. There were no pure souls or babies on the island (because of electromagnetic fallout from the "incident" in 1977 that caused fertility issues). So Jacob selected "candidates" away from the island, went out into the world to meet them, touched them (so the Monster couldn't kill them), and then brought them to the island by way of plane crash. (The Protector can also change the weather, sometimes subconciously, to make stuff like that happen--which is probably why the Dharma initiative also studied weather there--but Jacob didn't do so in this case.)
Jack Shephard was on that plane that came to the island. Oceanic 815. So were a lot of other really cool people who happened to look like TV stars: Sawyer, Kate, Sun, Jin, Sayid and Hurley. They crashed on the island, and they were alive.
They were Jacob's "candidates." It was their destiny to come to the island.
It was Jack's destiny to kill the Smoke Monster and save the island. And he spent six seasons trying to figure it out.
In the meantime, the Smoke Monster was running around terrorizing/killing everyone, taking the form of dead people (he can do that) and manipulating a longtime island dweller, Ben, into doing his bidding. The Monster ultimately tricked Ben into killing Locke (a "candidate") and Jacob. The Monster took the form of Locke.
And the island needed a new Protector.

In the final season, we saw what appeared to be an alternate reality in which the passengers of Oceanic 815—including Jack Shephard—landed safely in Los Angeles, as if the plane had never crashed on the island. They basically spent the entire sixth season in this place trying to "let go" of their life's biggest regrets/issues. (Ben's guilt over killing his daughter Alex, Locke's crippling problems with his father, Jin and Sun's guilt over abandoning their daughter and not knowing if she's OK, Hurley's guilt over his money doing evil things, Sayid's desire to save Shannon/Nadia, Claire's guilt over planning to give away her baby, Jack's desire to forgive his father and break the cycle by becoming agood father himself, etc...)
In the finale, we learned that this place (in which the flight landed safely) was a passageway from death into the Light/heaven. The characters we saw there had all died in different times in different places, and they met up in this place (where time is irrelevant) to work out their remaining regrets, reconnect with their loved ones, and move on to the Light together.
After Jack sacrificed himself to save the island, they all crossed over to the Light and lived blissfully ever after.
They lived together. And they did not die alone.

Make any sense? Maybe so, maybe not.
Do you agree? Maybe so, maybe not.
That's really, ultimately, the beauty of the story of Lost. That it is so very open to interpretation.
Whether you loved or hated the finale (it's no secret I loved it), one of the coolest things I've been hearing over the past few days is that some fans are liking it more the more they've thought about it. I think it's a finale that grows on you, if you let it. How many other finales can say the same?
So now that you've had a few days to process it all, I'd love to hear from you fans below (and you can take the poll, just for fun).
What do you think now of the Lost finale?
