It has been said that this TV series has little influence in the United States, which is not true. Although its influence is not as good as that of the contemporary Star Trek, it is still one of the classics of American science fiction TV. The style of this series is rigorous and simple, which is closer to the actual situation of scientific undertakings than other sci-fi TV series. Being able to watch this series on more than 20-inch flat-screen color TV sets is naturally different. Compared with later gorgeous blockbusters, The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic is very simple. The image converted from analog signal is not effective, even a little fuzzy. Apart from the candy-piled "haijing", there is no "high-tech" shadow in the play. A little stunt, but also rely on simple models, lens cutting, picture editing to form the effect. The scene clips that fade out and fade in are quite original.
The dress of the characters is quite old-fashioned by standard. The main background of the film is an "Ocean Research Institute", which is located in a small seaside town. Therefore, you can't see the Manhattan buildings or similar urban buildings that are ruined by Hollywood films and show wealth and luxury. Even, dubbing only uses ordinary electronic organ. However, The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic still has all-round charm. It is a "clean" science fiction film: no pornography and little violence. The hero and heroine are handsome and beautiful, caring for each other, often risking their lives together, and saving each other's lives many times respectively. But I didn't even kiss once from beginning to end. This is unimaginable in film and television. Occasionally, there are some simple fights, which are also for the needs of the plot. It will never take up more space. Curiosity! Desire to explore! That is the greatest need that excellent science fiction works should meet. "The more you know, the more you feel ignorant." This line in the play states the theme of the film. In reflecting the core charm of science fiction art, this clean science fiction series is a model.
In the early days of reform and opening up, the screen was mainly occupied by "foreign dramas", and local creation was relatively scarce. Therefore, American TV series The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic, Garrison Death Squad, Hong Kong and Taiwan TV series Huo Yuanjia and Legend of the Condor Heroes became the most influential TV series at that time. After listening to the older generation, when Huo Yuanjia was broadcast, only some families had TV sets, and it was a 9-inch or 12-inch black-and-white TV. Therefore, a kind of colorful paper for TV screens was popular in China at that time. Since the mid-1980s, the remakes of Four Generations under One roof, A Dream of Red Mansions and The Journey to the West's masterpieces have caused a sensation, which has set a precedent for the creation of mainland series. Since the 1990s, several most influential dramas have appeared one after another, which even changed the audience's aesthetic habits and values, such as Desire, Story of Editorial Department, Peking Man in new york and so on. At the same time, due to the entry of private capital into the TV drama production market, TV dramas are unprecedentedly prosperous but somewhat mixed, and more and more TV dramas come into the audience's sight, with rich and diverse themes: military dramas, family emotional dramas, youth idol dramas and so on. The stormy waves for several days finally subsided, and the sea sparkled in the sunlight. A tourist, with his children and a long-haired dog, bent down to pick colorful shells on the beach covered with seaweed and other sundries. Suddenly, the long-haired dog running in front screamed loudly. Tourists rushed forward and saw a young man with a head injury, struggling painfully in a messy pile of seaweed.
The tourists hurried to report to the police station.
The medical staff of St. Mary's hospital gave first aid to the injured, but X-ray showed that the injured's lungs were different, so no matter what method was used, he could not recover his normal breathing.
Seeing that the injured were dying, the hospital had to invite Dr. Elizabeth from the Naval Ocean Research Center. After the consultation, Elizabeth decisively adopted seawater immersion to save the injured from death. Elizabeth made a further examination of the injured person and found that although his figure was similar to that of ordinary people, his hands were webbed, his eyes were like cat's eyes, his skin did not sweat, his body was surprisingly resistant to stress, and he swam faster than a dolphin. He was a person who was only suitable for living in water. The conclusion of computer comprehensive analysis of materials tells people that he is from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
The injured person suffered a serious head injury, which caused a memory disorder, and even his name and origin could not be said. Elizabeth gave him a nice name: mike harris. The U.S. Secretary of Defense decided to use Mike's special functions to explore the seabed. Mike refused to obey. After Elizabeth's patient persuasion, Mike reluctantly agreed. Since then, Mike has made amazing feats for the peace and happiness of mankind. I think that the "fist product" that came in from contraband in the south together with the LCD electronic watch was the "Mike Mirror" (also known as the frog mirror) after the crowds rushed to watch "The Man from the Atlantic Ocean", and the wearer had to keep the white circle trademark of the left mirror to show the fashion, which almost became the fashion of China youth throughout the 1980s. When they introduced themselves, they all said: I am "a piece of wood floating from the Atlantic Ocean", and at the same time, the Mike mirror influenced the design of many sunglasses later; The "backward youth" in some posters that encourage the advanced and criticize the backward is the image of wearing a "Mike mirror", carrying a SONY "four-speaker" tape recorder (Teresa Teng was played) and wearing cowboy bell bottoms, which later became a joke-it's all the fault of "mike harris"! The influence of The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic on the audience in China is not only his trademark frog mirror, but also his unique swimming posture. Seeing him swinging freely in the ocean has aroused many people's interest in diving. To this day, many people will sneak in the water with his classic posture as soon as they get into the water. This TV series has also made another fitness sport popular all over the country, that is, flying saucer.
