Can You See Me
Episode One (JioCinema)
Ghosts keep on appearing, and Miko blindsides them, much to their dismay.
Plot
A high school girl realizes she can see ghosts. The ghosts were as lost as her (by asking): Can you see me?
The humor element is drastic. It is terrifying and humorously dangerous.
Our Plot
Imagine you saw a murder. The victim appears in your dream one day. The next day, you find it chasing you. It asks you to stand up and testify in court. The ghost can’t force you. A shadow is there- The ghost. You act like you don’t have an idea of its presence or whereabouts. You play clueless, and the ghost’s plans get further delayed in the confusion.
The ghost is following you as a part of the divine plan. You seem to be offended as nature is making intrusions in your personal space. The whammy is ignorance of one’s responsibility under the impression of one’s rights.
The ghost wants you to show up as a witness and bring the culprits to justice. You think it is your human right to have a free conscience.
What a loser play of the nature boss! Why should I do it? It is like taxing me for some good work. What’s in it for me?
The First Encounter with Ghosts
Miko saw the ghost for the first time.
She was at the bus stop.
It was raining.
The ghost was staring at her.
Asking the same question: Can you see me?
Miko was pondering and raising a similar concern in reply: Why are you asking me?
I (Miko) can see you. You (Ghost) are not visible to many. Isn’t there an explanation coming next to forfeit anxiety and trouble from our lives?
Like any average being on the planet, you would deny seeing a ghost.
The ghost was there. Its presence was strong. Nobody can out-see it.
Her counter dialogues with herself (Out loud):
The bus being late and not replying to texts- Shows she is afraid to accept that she can see them and talk to them. The next thing she knew she had to answer is how was the conversation. And stuff like that.
The Second Encounter and the Creative Blink
The ghosts are real in her world. She confirmed it in ignorance. The hand stains on the bathroom mirror were the closest the ghosts and Miko came to an understanding.
She has supernatural powers. That’s the horror side of things. She can hold herself back without giving the signs to the ghosts she can see them. That’s the comedy side of things.
Seems like the ordinary powers are overpowering and winning over supernatural powers.
Our Take
The opening act shoves the humor down our throats.
Humans can cheat the dead how they cheat other humans.
