Wow!! I mean, you're going in and checking out old newspapers from South Carolina, bringing up ads printed in these old papers, and describing the design of the bell used in the very first episode! Such detail; that's why I eagerly await your breakdowns! And I agree, the Civil War has to play a central role in the creation and origins of this town. Keep it up!🤗🤗👍🏾👍🏾
6:17 This article has a lot of meaning for the show, about an adult being affected by beliefs from their culture & childhood. The part about the doctor’s observation of the grown man being so upset reminds me of what Dr. Milgram said about a test subject in his 1961 experiment.
🙏 Thank you! I’ve been caught up with a lot of things but for this week, I’ll review both episode 1 and 2 at the same time. Future breakdowns should release under regular schedule 🙂.
I'm so happy I finally found this channel. The creators of the show put a lot into the series, including love for their fans. Finding someone willing to act as guide is an absolute treasure. I feel so sad for people who miss out in all this. We are at an 8 course feast, they have go-to boxes.
I just watched your Reviews and you deserve a TH-cam Award! When are the new Season analysis coming ?!? Im looking forward to this more than episode 3 !!!
I am so grateful for your breakdowns of From. I missed pretty much all the background details on my first watching, so I'm going to rewatch and look for them. Also, does anyone else find it as scary as I do? It's terrifying but also utterly compelling. I have to walk around the house and make sure all the doors and windows are locked after each episode!
I applaud your research. That’s what we did after every episode of LOST. Examine the clues, digging for Easter Eggs, and sharing ideas in the on-line community boards. Keep it up! Thanks.
Excellent analysis! I am so impressed by your insight as well as all of the amazing research that you do!! Thanks for keeping the captivating mystery of From alive while we all eagerly wait for Season 2 to come out!
I also wanted to say that the Time in a Bottle segment was very insightful, and an excellent tie-in with the Jim Croce song. Ethan's comment that they never had time for each other at home and Fatima's comment that they might not be able to fit in at home because they're different people now all seem to suggest that this world is a type of "way-station" where they learn things about themselves. We have the dates of the Civil War and the trial of the Basque witches...I wonder what those other dates mean? One of the dates was 1712, and there was a famous slave rebellion in New York along with a disagreement that led to the split (in 1712) of Carolina into North and South Carolina. The dates are also briefly shown on the wall when Tabitha is going up the spiral staircase in her vision. This show is an enigma...and you could be one of their writers!🤗
Sorry, I said 1712, it was actually 1752. That year was the final change over from the old Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, causing a sudden "loss" of 11 calendar days. This dropping of 11 days caused riots throughout Britain, America, and other English colonies. Could this shift in time be important?
Thank you! I remember reading about the calendar change in 1752 and the confusion about the perceived lost time. If the writers truly wanted they could factor that into a narrative of lost time (within a science fiction context). A suspicion that I have is that the producers/writers may be trying to communicate or tie in some subtle commentary about slavery as it relates to the dark/evil potential of our human nature. We are also drawing our assumptions on the very limited context that's available. As with most shows/seasons, it's very likely that season 2 will take some major turns and bring brand new revelations right from the start. We would then look back at the current clues and more easily see what they represented.
Another hint that it's all a mind game is the bracelet that Tabitha found in the storeroom of the diner. That should not be there at all and yet there it was. I think that is a key clue. Of course, electricity without wires is another giveway! LOL
Just discovered your channel after watching season 1 of From. Thank you for the time and detail in your videos. You deserve millions of subscribers! Keep up the great work!
I just finished watching this show a couple of days ago. Thank you so much for posting these videos! Your analysis of each episode is freaking amazing. Season 2 is coming soon I can’t wait! I’m happy I discovered this show now so I don’t have to wait forever for season 2 to start!
I found some interesting things about a song / lullaby ✨🌠 connected to France, Jade & Victor, but it’s from Season 2, so I won’t spoil it here. For those who want to know, look up the history about the song if you know what I’m referring to.
this is such a dedicated and amazing also detailed explanation of the series. I just finished it last night and your video help me to figure things out. how did you even find the original newspapers ? omg, this is so far the most interesting and amazing explanation. thank you sm for making this !
I love how dedicated you are with your research! This is some fascinating stuff. I hope the people aren't dead, and this is all just some form of purgatory. The creators of Lost already did that and tricked us the whole time which made no sense in the end.. I'm hoping everyone is alive, including the creatures. At first glance, the creatures resemble and share many characteristics of Dopplegangers from D&D and mythology more than any other creature including Ghouls, Ghast, vampires, Wendigo, ghosts, Sluaghs, etc. My best guess is the town is a real town, but it may now exist in some alternate dimension that is shielded from our dimension. Guess time will tell. *Edit* In regards to Draugrs, they are zombie like skeletal undead. These creatures are definitely not Draugrs. It makes no sense. They sleep, eat, speak, shape change, think and react like intelligent beings, etc.
I just watched episode 1 season 2 and I think that when Boyd goes through the faraway tree, he goes through TIME! I think he goes through the future and end up in a well and that the old man chained to the wall is VICTOR FROM THE FUTURE !!!
These video have been really well researched and strongly presented, well done! I find it interesting that at the end of the season there's tension in the town about there not being enough resources for everybody now that Colony House is effectively gone, and then a bus filled with who-knows-how-many people pulls up. It's like whoever is running things is saying, oh you're worried about feeding and housing so many people are you, well here's another thirty people to sort out, good luck. Not to mention this is a major logistical issue and Mr Fish & Loaves appears to be out of action. I worry that From is going to force us to ask so many questions and develop so many theories that when the writers do start offering up some answers they won't be as satisfying as the answers we've already determined to be the "correct" ones and the show will suffer as a result. A bit like what happened with Westworld, although admittedly Westworld did go off the rails for other reasons too.
About time someone mentioned the Civil war and how it plays a vital role in the story I thought I was the only one that looked at that paper and looked the town up in S.C. also the year 1864 is engraved on the top of the staircase in Ethan's mother's dream when she gets to the top of the stairs and sees her husband hanging upside down
9:40 Time in a bottle: This reminds me of how people put messages in bottles & throw into the water - In one of the crayon drawings Ethan was looking through, one of them looked like a flood where the water was halfway up the outside front wall of a house in the town. Maybe there will be a flood in Season 3?
Such an in depth dive! Going off what you said about the town being maybe magnetic on peoples traumas, what about in the first episode where they were running up to the colony house and Julie saw someone she (I guess) knew. The monster said to her Julie, you don’t remember me? I thought that was really interesting and hope the creators don’t drop that off
I wish I had found this a long time ago! This was by far the best analysis of what is going on in my opinion! I'm sick of hearing about aliens and being stuck in VR! The idea about it being a collective consciousness was really cool! I was thinking that the town was a bubble of psychic energy from mass tragedies that occurred over time and that is controlled by the children! What are children afraid of? The dark, vampires, monsters and spiders...things from the creepy woods that surrounded the town! Also all the children's stories about magic quests and what not, not to mention that Ethans parents were about to get divorced and what better way to keep them together than trapping them in a place that they can't leave? Victor, I'm guessing is the key, who is also like a child trapped in a grown man's body...I love this show and I'm hoping that you have seen the new trailer for season 2 and will talk about it 👍
I think you’re on to something too I think it is a place of children’s stories I watched closely in the first episode and all the cars disappear on the other side of the road right when Julie tells Ethan the story about the lake of tears and fairies
This is pretty far-fetched but I think this show is in some relation, connected to Lost and the island. So back in the season finale, we were shown the cave paintings and most particularly, the symbol and the people arriving on boats. The boat and the lighthouse aspect jumped out to me as strange because this area has always been identified as being in the middle of North America. The symbol itself looked different from other depictions as seen online and in drawings. It of course has the three distinct markings but pay attention to the outline. This is far-fetched I know but this resembles a topographical view of the island from "lost." What if the twist if this show is that what drove the island is also driving this place as well? I assume it operates sort of the same. The town jumps across the USA, capturing unwitting victims who are trapped in this strange land. It also traps the spirits of the dead just like the island. Hallucinations, mysteries, etc. We just need to see a polar bear. If this is some sort of spiritual sequel to the show lost that would be insane. I don't know the logistics behind bridging the two shows bur I assume it would be a network issue or something with the rights of the original show. Also that they casted the same actor who played in the previous. Idk, this is a great show frl.
You sir have earned yourself a new subscriber. I loved this show from the start and was surprised it being on a secondary streaming service, but I absolutely love you jungian perspective and theres a lot that you thought of that didn't cross my mind. How you mentioned time and how they would start to play with that idea, made me think that when the girlfriend that arrives on the bus next season. She won't even know that her girlfriend was missing, because no time has passed in "the real world" and this is what will make the relationship most awkward because she grew close to Kenny because they spent so much time in the town together. This show is putting in the detail and effort to be great. I'm so excited.
Where are you getting such clear screenshots of the scenes? (i.e. the coordinates) I've been going through it in 4K and noticed the calendar in room where Trudy dies is a Rendez-Move one, same brand as Boyd's trailer. They also include a Creelman's Cola logo in every episode and both Tian Chen (in the Diner storage) and Victor (in his truck) have a creel.
Are you really coming back with your analysis? I really enjoyed and still think it's the best out there. I'm dyyyying to know what your opinion on the first episodes is.
You have an eye for the details! Impressive 👏 So now we know where your Uzumaki comes from - 🐌, cool intro animation! Anyway, I was hoping to hear your views on the following things that you could have noticed already. 1. The Constellations (a misplaced Ursa Minor, intentional or there may be more to it, the star patterned night lamp in the intro, etc. The Ursa Minor points to the North Star. Both North Star and Lighthouse have been the guiding light for sailors for centuries). If you check Victor's memories of the past, the board above MOTEL sign says "STAR MAGIC", which is absent in the present version of the MOTEL sign. 2. The set of other species that we have seen so far - Ravens, Dogs, Lambs, Chickens, Cows, Spiders. There could be some significance to this and as to why we have not seen so many wild birds or animals in the surrounding forest. 3. The Significance of the SKY. In one of the art from Victor, we see a snow globe/ crystal ball like structure depicting, the houses, the tunnels that connect these houses below ground and a skyline? waterline? above with what appears to be a person looking down or a spider crawling on that horizon. Even Fatima refers to the skies at the start with a positive note. The people also do not get a chance to see the night sky, the constellations because of the monsters. Their windows are always closed and shut. Maybe the SKY has the answers to a lot of things. Even for someone to look at the light from the Lighthouse, one has to look at the skies during night time, something that is quite not possible without taking serious risks. This could mean that the escape from this place is through the sky, something that is hinted at the Series Poster, with the road leading to this mysterious place is from the top to the bottom. Another possibility is that the skyline thing denotes that the entire place is within a larger "twilight zone" and something seemingly is controlling this place from the outside. A distant possibility is that the red creature in the cave art (what appears to be 4 legged and 2 handed) could be something of the H.P.Lovecraft's cosmic horror tentacle entity or supreme outer God Azatoth, who keeps dreaming all of reality, all possible realities, all of space and time. There is yet another Victor's art which seemingly shows green tentacles all around and at the centre, what it appears to be a black pit. Also on Ellis' Jeans in Ep 7, besides the runes carved on his jean, there are what appears to be tree branches and a strange squid like creature with tentacles in one way but It could just be a crow. Again this is like the Illusions thing that we saw on Julie. Maybe I am seeing things out of Conformational bias. The opening intro is a view of the place from the SKY. Throughout the intro song, we are shown the day time sky with ravens flying, in Victor's arts (2 instances, stars are depicted with yellow crosses - one on the Diner art, the other in the Monster trying to take the child in the Attic of a house), the whole intro ends with an upward view of the flickering motel light and a Dark sky. With what Fatima observes that even a Nightmare can become a dream when one climbs high, perhaps the way out as I observed earlier, the solution to all this mystery lies in the Skies, esp. the Night skies, which is when one can see the constellations and the places makes sure that no can see the night sky, without falling victims to the monsters it unleashes during night. 4. The Uzumaki influence from Junji Ito - a mysterious village, where anyone enters can't escape, the lighthouse and the constellations. As you have pointed out, the series appears to borrow inspirations from different mythos. 5. Time - The Ouroboros serpent that eats its own tail, representing the eternal cycle of time, life and death. There is a possibility of some paradoxes that are in play in this place. There is the Ouroboros infinite cycle hinted at the right most end of the cave painting. 6. The Story of the Monsters - From the Cave art painting, if we go from left to right, it appears that people were travelling in boats on a river and then there seems to be what it appears to be a broken tree across the river line they came from. They end up into this place, never to leave. Perhaps, they realized the entity that is controlling this realm and created runes to keep it contained. These original settlers may have become the monsters. Those Nordic runes may not be what we think it is. It could be just trees and the rune interpretation could be a red flag, to throw off the viewers from seeing the actual truth. Even the stones with those runes, it appears like two people, surrounded by trees, with the view of sun on the left and moon on the right. 7. Death and Dream - We see that people of this town can dream and can die. This reminds me of another H.P.Lovecraft's works: The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath/ Dreamlands/ The White Ship. If you have not read, I really recommend these because the Lighthouse and Ship is central. Then there is the Lake of Tears, which seems to be an art showing few houses, each houses within bubbles, dead trees on a shore of what appears to be the lake. While the dream offers visions of another place (Victor's room) as he keeps drawing of the crash from episode 1, this visions also seems to be prophetic of an ominous warning - hearing someone scream when the spiders came "down" from the ceiling. If we consider the snow globe art depiction by Victor, then it is possible that there is a ceiling that resembles the sky and there could be the spider above it (figurative or literal). Dreams, Visions, whispers - another common trope within Lovecraftian mythos, due to influence of Outer Gods. The whole approach of a horror that neither the people of the town, not the viewers able to comprehend gives some hint that this could be a cosmic horror mixed with self discovery on what is real. Dream and Death perhaps are windows and doors respectively out of what is perceived as real. 8. Moon - The overlooked entity. Moon has been long associated with mind, dreams, death, etc across various mythos, fantasies and fictions. The only time we have seen it when Fatima shows it in Episode 2. This is also the only time we see few stars on the skyline, which also appears to be cloudy mostly. "When you climb high enough, even a nightmare can look like a dream" - This line along with the moon, the stars (constellations), the snow globe/ crystal ball drawing, the dream version scenes, Boyd's wife trying to kill everyone so all can wake up from the nightmare, the spiders (Like from Beyond the Aquila Rift) - From may well fit a true cosmic existential horror, making the people, be it the denizens of the town or viewers alike to ask the first question of all questions - What is Real/ Reality? Also, have you figured out the name of the Elementary & High School Building? I am really interested to hear your views on these things.
@@FromLand Hey there, hope you are well. Since the Season 2 trailer was released with a very specific song to my observation above, the STARS are the way out and is connected to the DREAMLANDS from Lovercraft's The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath and I am more inclined with that possibility now more than ever. If this is the case, From will become the one of the best Lovecraftian horrors ever made on screen. Dream A Little Dream Of Me Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you" Birds singin' in the sycamore trees Dream a little dream of me Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me While I'm alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on, dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger 'til dawn, dear Just saying this Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams, whatever they be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on, dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger 'til dawn, dear Just saying this Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams, whatever they be Dream a little dream of me Dream a little dream of me Dream a little dream of me
@@dan23wiz Hi! That's a great observation. I agree on the Lovecraftian angle to the show, and we know that would translate to quite a nice amount of unexpected twists to come. I'm so eagerly waiting for the weekly episode of this new season!
I had another idea. In Norse mythology, people that die of old age or sickness go to Hel, or Niflheim. Because fromland already brings in people with sad burdens from wars and with other various sadnesses, it makes sense that Mrs Liu and her husband would be there, as he was suffering from dementia and Boyd's and his father's parkinson's.
I didn't watch all your videos yet, you might have touched on this already. If so, just ignore my comment but the first thing I was thinking of when I saw the flickering light was that it could be a morse coded message. Unfortunately, I don't know how to translate it or make sense of it but it might be something worth looking into.
I covered the flickering of the lights in my previous videos as a potential communication attempt from the voices (which could be the spirits of those who die in the town, or something along those lines). I haven’t tried decoding the flickering as Morse yet though. Maybe I’ll explore that in one of my next videos.
Why you are not making videos for Season 2? I hope everything is ok and you are just working on your subtle theories. I can’t wait for your fun speculations .
Anyone notice in the scene where Elllis and his father are talking in the clinic, Ellis’ jeans appear to have the same symbols as present on the talisman etched on them?
its great bc its not the cheesy netflix shit, this show shows real gore and stuff you can't really show on netflix or hulu cause they're more "family" friendly this show is amazing
I love the new intro. I got Covid on Thursday. Now I know why when you had it, it slowed down your video production. I don’t wish it on anyone this is so uncomfortable. I love your analysis and I’m going to watch your analyses of other TV series too!
So, this is a crazy question. What would happen if all the people from the town just simply, walked up to the tree, picked it up and moved it so they could drive through. Or is the tree not something people can return to.
I would love to see that. They could certainly explore it in new seasons. My guess is that those crows and the dark clouds might prevent them from moving forward.
Ahhh, you're right!! Lamia! I watch Raised By Wolves (love the haunting opening song!) and I'm waiting for FromLand's breakdown of it. I'm sure I'm missing some things! Speaking of haunting opening songs, "From" doing the usually cheerful "Que Sera Sera" in that creepy minor key is really effective. Yikes!
The producers clearly have a direction for the show that spans several seasons but I have to say leaving so many questions unanswered in the s 1 finale was really risky if the show didn't get renewed. Hopefully we'll be able to see all these ideas get properly explored in future seasons.
I've been watching Outer Range. I really like the concept and can see the message the creator is trying to send but have mixed feelings about the way it was executed :/. I will cover it in a video.
Would you do a show about the APPLE TV series called 'the Shining Girls' with Elisabeth Moss and Jamie Bell it's a very nice show and it will be to have a recap of the episodes from you
Your ability to connect mythology, history and geopolitics leaves me speechless. The production need to have you come work with them!
Thanks!! 🙏🏻

The dark, vampires, monsters and spiders...things from the creepy woods that surrounded the town! Also all the children's stories about magic quests and what not, not to mention that Ethans parents were about to get divorced and what better way to keep them together than trapping them in a place that they can't leave? Victor, I'm guessing is the key, who is also like a child trapped in a grown man's body...I love this show and I'm hoping that you have seen the new trailer for season 2 and will talk about it 👍
I think you’re on to something too
I think it is a place of children’s stories
I watched closely in the first episode and all the cars disappear on the other side of the road right when Julie tells Ethan the story about the lake of tears and fairies
This is pretty far-fetched but I think this show is in some relation, connected to Lost and the island. So back in the season finale, we were shown the cave paintings and most particularly, the symbol and the people arriving on boats. The boat and the lighthouse aspect jumped out to me as strange because this area has always been identified as being in the middle of North America. The symbol itself looked different from other depictions as seen online and in drawings. It of course has the three distinct markings but pay attention to the outline. This is far-fetched I know but this resembles a topographical view of the island from "lost."
What if the twist if this show is that what drove the island is also driving this place as well? I assume it operates sort of the same. The town jumps across the USA, capturing unwitting victims who are trapped in this strange land. It also traps the spirits of the dead just like the island. Hallucinations, mysteries, etc. We just need to see a polar bear.
If this is some sort of spiritual sequel to the show lost that would be insane. I don't know the logistics behind bridging the two shows bur I assume it would be a network issue or something with the rights of the original show. Also that they casted the same actor who played in the previous. Idk, this is a great show frl.
Will there be season 2 breakdowns?
Epic analysis of this gem of a series. Haven't seen something this good since" Dark"
I really loved Dark. I’m waiting for “1899” to come out on Netflix, which is from the same creators.
Miss your videos and analysis hope to see a new video one day ! Especialy with season 2 being out.
You sir have earned yourself a new subscriber. I loved this show from the start and was surprised it being on a secondary streaming service, but I absolutely love you jungian perspective and theres a lot that you thought of that didn't cross my mind. How you mentioned time and how they would start to play with that idea, made me think that when the girlfriend that arrives on the bus next season. She won't even know that her girlfriend was missing, because no time has passed in "the real world" and this is what will make the relationship most awkward because she grew close to Kenny because they spent so much time in the town together. This show is putting in the detail and effort to be great. I'm so excited.
When is the Analysis of Season 2 coming ?
Where are you getting such clear screenshots of the scenes? (i.e. the coordinates)
I've been going through it in 4K and noticed the calendar in room where Trudy dies is a Rendez-Move one, same brand as Boyd's trailer. They also include a Creelman's Cola logo in every episode and both Tian Chen (in the Diner storage) and Victor (in his truck) have a creel.
That was a very good analysis. Now my brain is on overdrive. Thanks
Woah. Your analysis is remarkable. Please post a video on Season 2 trailer
Are you really coming back with your analysis? I really enjoyed and still think it's the best out there. I'm dyyyying to know what your opinion on the first episodes is.
Will you be reviewing season 2????
Can’t wait to watch your theories after season 2 comes out
2023 is too far away for the next season. They better film 2 & 3. Back to back
Yessssss
Producers - Yeah man, just use any old newspaper.
FromLand -
OUTSTANDING ANALYSIS!! I'm a new subscriber. QUESTION / Does the theme song have any clues to the mysteries of what the show is about?
It would be very interesting to hear your speculations about the meaning of the title “From”. Thanks for all your videos🌸
Im Watching this video to get questions answered yet I just got many more cuz of you 🤧🤣
Hahaha. I guess that means the producers are doing a good job.
I’m loving the new intro…nice!
How did you find the newspaper? Where can I read it?
The new season is here !!!😊
Finally, you had me thinking I missed this 🤪
Whoa, nice sleuthing!!
Hollow Earth
Hollow Earth
Hollow Earth
My favourite conspiracy! Oh yah baby, you beauty @fromland.. please let this be deliberate!!
There are so many cool possibilities with the Hollow Earth theory.
@@FromLand I know! 😄‼️🤯
You have an eye for the details! Impressive 👏
So now we know where your Uzumaki comes from - 🐌, cool intro animation!
Anyway, I was hoping to hear your views on the following things that you could have noticed already.
1. The Constellations (a misplaced Ursa Minor, intentional or there may be more to it, the star patterned night lamp in the intro, etc. The Ursa Minor points to the North Star. Both North Star and Lighthouse have been the guiding light for sailors for centuries). If you check Victor's memories of the past, the board above MOTEL sign says "STAR MAGIC", which is absent in the present version of the MOTEL sign.
2. The set of other species that we have seen so far - Ravens, Dogs, Lambs, Chickens, Cows, Spiders. There could be some significance to this and as to why we have not seen so many wild birds or animals in the surrounding forest.
3. The Significance of the SKY. In one of the art from Victor, we see a snow globe/ crystal ball like structure depicting, the houses, the tunnels that connect these houses below ground and a skyline? waterline? above with what appears to be a person looking down or a spider crawling on that horizon. Even Fatima refers to the skies at the start with a positive note. The people also do not get a chance to see the night sky, the constellations because of the monsters. Their windows are always closed and shut. Maybe the SKY has the answers to a lot of things. Even for someone to look at the light from the Lighthouse, one has to look at the skies during night time, something that is quite not possible without taking serious risks.
This could mean that the escape from this place is through the sky, something that is hinted at the Series Poster, with the road leading to this mysterious place is from the top to the bottom. Another possibility is that the skyline thing denotes that the entire place is within a larger "twilight zone" and something seemingly is controlling this place from the outside. A distant possibility is that the red creature in the cave art (what appears to be 4 legged and 2 handed) could be something of the H.P.Lovecraft's cosmic horror tentacle entity or supreme outer God Azatoth, who keeps dreaming all of reality, all possible realities, all of space and time. There is yet another Victor's art which seemingly shows green tentacles all around and at the centre, what it appears to be a black pit. Also on Ellis' Jeans in Ep 7, besides the runes carved on his jean, there are what appears to be tree branches and a strange squid like creature with tentacles in one way but It could just be a crow. Again this is like the Illusions thing that we saw on Julie. Maybe I am seeing things out of Conformational bias.
The opening intro is a view of the place from the SKY. Throughout the intro song, we are shown the day time sky with ravens flying, in Victor's arts (2 instances, stars are depicted with yellow crosses - one on the Diner art, the other in the Monster trying to take the child in the Attic of a house), the whole intro ends with an upward view of the flickering motel light and a Dark sky. With what Fatima observes that even a Nightmare can become a dream when one climbs high, perhaps the way out as I observed earlier, the solution to all this mystery lies in the Skies, esp. the Night skies, which is when one can see the constellations and the places makes sure that no can see the night sky, without falling victims to the monsters it unleashes during night.
4. The Uzumaki influence from Junji Ito - a mysterious village, where anyone enters can't escape, the lighthouse and the constellations. As you have pointed out, the series appears to borrow inspirations from different mythos.
5. Time - The Ouroboros serpent that eats its own tail, representing the eternal cycle of time, life and death. There is a possibility of some paradoxes that are in play in this place. There is the Ouroboros infinite cycle hinted at the right most end of the cave painting.
6. The Story of the Monsters - From the Cave art painting, if we go from left to right, it appears that people were travelling in boats on a river and then there seems to be what it appears to be a broken tree across the river line they came from. They end up into this place, never to leave. Perhaps, they realized the entity that is controlling this realm and created runes to keep it contained. These original settlers may have become the monsters. Those Nordic runes may not be what we think it is. It could be just trees and the rune interpretation could be a red flag, to throw off the viewers from seeing the actual truth. Even the stones with those runes, it appears like two people, surrounded by trees, with the view of sun on the left and moon on the right.
7. Death and Dream - We see that people of this town can dream and can die. This reminds me of another H.P.Lovecraft's works: The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath/ Dreamlands/ The White Ship. If you have not read, I really recommend these because the Lighthouse and Ship is central. Then there is the Lake of Tears, which seems to be an art showing few houses, each houses within bubbles, dead trees on a shore of what appears to be the lake. While the dream offers visions of another place (Victor's room) as he keeps drawing of the crash from episode 1, this visions also seems to be prophetic of an ominous warning - hearing someone scream when the spiders came "down" from the ceiling. If we consider the snow globe art depiction by Victor, then it is possible that there is a ceiling that resembles the sky and there could be the spider above it (figurative or literal). Dreams, Visions, whispers - another common trope within Lovecraftian mythos, due to influence of Outer Gods. The whole approach of a horror that neither the people of the town, not the viewers able to comprehend gives some hint that this could be a cosmic horror mixed with self discovery on what is real. Dream and Death perhaps are windows and doors respectively out of what is perceived as real.
8. Moon - The overlooked entity. Moon has been long associated with mind, dreams, death, etc across various mythos, fantasies and fictions. The only time we have seen it when Fatima shows it in Episode 2. This is also the only time we see few stars on the skyline, which also appears to be cloudy mostly.
"When you climb high enough, even a nightmare can look like a dream"
- This line along with the moon, the stars (constellations), the snow globe/ crystal ball drawing, the dream version scenes, Boyd's wife trying to kill everyone so all can wake up from the nightmare, the spiders (Like from Beyond the Aquila Rift) - From may well fit a true cosmic existential horror, making the people, be it the denizens of the town or viewers alike to ask the first question of all questions - What is Real/ Reality?
Also, have you figured out the name of the Elementary & High School Building?
I am really interested to hear your views on these things.
Thanks!! I’ll covered some of these points in my next scheduled videos (I’ll try to cover them all).
@@FromLand Hey there, hope you are well. Since the Season 2 trailer was released with a very specific song to my observation above, the STARS are the way out and is connected to the DREAMLANDS from Lovercraft's The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath and I am more inclined with that possibility now more than ever. If this is the case, From will become the one of the best Lovecraftian horrors ever made on screen.
Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me
Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger 'til dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger 'til dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Dream a little dream of me
Dream a little dream of me
@@dan23wiz Hi! That's a great observation. I agree on the Lovecraftian angle to the show, and we know that would translate to quite a nice amount of unexpected twists to come. I'm so eagerly waiting for the weekly episode of this new season!
I had another idea. In Norse mythology, people that die of old age or sickness go to Hel, or Niflheim. Because fromland already brings in people with sad burdens from wars and with other various sadnesses, it makes sense that Mrs Liu and her husband would be there, as he was suffering from dementia and Boyd's and his father's parkinson's.
Waiting for from season 2 and fromland
I didn't watch all your videos yet, you might have touched on this already. If so, just ignore my comment but the first thing I was thinking of when I saw the flickering light was that it could be a morse coded message. Unfortunately, I don't know how to translate it or make sense of it but it might be something worth looking into.
I covered the flickering of the lights in my previous videos as a potential communication attempt from the voices (which could be the spirits of those who die in the town, or something along those lines). I haven’t tried decoding the flickering as Morse yet though. Maybe I’ll explore that in one of my next videos.
Why you are not making videos for Season 2? I hope everything is ok and you are just working on your subtle theories. I can’t wait for your fun speculations .
Hi! All good, just been extremely busy, but I’m working on the videos for season 2 :).
So glad to hear this I be waiting
Anyone notice in the scene where Elllis and his father are talking in the clinic, Ellis’ jeans appear to have the same symbols as present on the talisman etched on them?
Yes! Ellis also uses a lot of the symbology of the talismans in his drawings.
its great bc its not the cheesy netflix shit, this show shows real gore and stuff you can't really show on netflix or hulu cause they're more "family" friendly this show is amazing
If you wouldn't do these videos on this show I would have no idea what's happening, feel like watching lost
I love the new intro. I got Covid on Thursday. Now I know why when you had it, it slowed down your video production. I don’t wish it on anyone this is so uncomfortable. I love your analysis and I’m going to watch your analyses of other TV series too!
Thanks a lot Jen! I really hope you get better soon! 🙏🏻
So, this is a crazy question. What would happen if all the people from the town just simply, walked up to the tree, picked it up and moved it so they could drive through.
Or is the tree not something people can return to.
I would love to see that. They could certainly explore it in new seasons. My guess is that those crows and the dark clouds might prevent them from moving forward.
Season 2 is here @fromlsnd missing your detailed analysis
Where is the review of season II????
no s2? bro u here?
6:50 again Lamia, thats the Name of 'Mother' in Raised by Wolves.
The devourer of children. I can’t wait to post my analysis of that show! 😄
Ahh interesting parallel! Plus the
Drauga in the Destiny child abduction in RbW 🤔
Ahhh, you're right!! Lamia! I watch Raised By Wolves (love the haunting opening song!) and I'm waiting for FromLand's breakdown of it. I'm sure I'm missing some things! Speaking of haunting opening songs, "From" doing the usually cheerful "Que Sera Sera" in that creepy minor key is really effective. Yikes!
Season 2 Trailer Just Drop
The producers clearly have a direction for the show that spans several seasons but I have to say leaving so many questions unanswered in the s 1 finale was really risky if the show didn't get renewed. Hopefully we'll be able to see all these ideas get properly explored in future seasons.
Lighthouse is also a faro... pharaoh
Love this show so fun ....But have you seen the show outer range ?
I've been watching Outer Range. I really like the concept and can see the message the creator is trying to send but have mixed feelings about the way it was executed :/. I will cover it in a video.
@@FromLand wow cool i liked it a lot can't wait to see your take on it
Will you be covering Season 2?
On it :)
@@FromLand 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Awesome!! Can't wait
Anyone familiar with the old show "the prisoner"?
