00:00In Stranger Things, the Upside Down being frozen in time is not a coincidence at all.
00:04The Upside Down is stuck on a specific date and the series doesn't explain it at all.
00:08The Upside Down does not evolve over time.
00:10In season 4, Nancy discovers her diary,
00:13but it stops on the day of Will's disappearance in 1983.
00:17The posters, the objects, the sets, everything is frozen at that moment.
00:21This choice is not aesthetic, it is narrative.
00:23The de Fur brothers explained that the Upside Down is a footprint,
00:27a copy of the real world at the moment the fracture occurred.
00:30And psychologically, it's very disturbing.
00:32It's a world that resembles ours, but which isn't progressing at all.
00:36It transforms the Upside Down into a place of trauma.
00:39It's not another world, but it's a memory that's frozen in time.
00:42And that's why we feel uncomfortable there.
00:43We are certainly not afraid of what lives there,
00:46We are afraid of what could never continue.
00:48And that's why we feel really uncomfortable there.
00:50Let me know in the comments if you knew that.
00:52And most importantly, subscribe if you want more Strange of Things content.
