Outlander
I could point out many unusual, effective and extremely thoughtful opening credits, but it is the opening of Outlander that immediately introduces me to its world. It contains the most magnetizing elements of the extraordinary reality of 18th century Scotland. It is so brisk that I also travel in time – I am struck by the blue of the sky and almost endless green, unspoiled by human activity. The lack of civilization gives us, above all, a sense of freedom, but what is behind it also dangers. Although the action takes place in the past, the struggle for survival of the heroes in the brutal reality of war makes us live their fate “here and now”. Science appears to be less credible than ancient rituals and magical practices. This is the essence of introducing Outlander to the world- the fragility of life, the realities of war with what is mystical, spiritual, immaterial and … resistant to the passage of time. This is accompanied by “The Skye Boat Song”, a Scottish song from the end of the 19th century, thanks to which the opening sequence becomes even more eloquent and symbolic. – Paulina Czajka
