As you know, we’re analyzing Lost: The Pilot episode here on Lost
and Found. If you haven’t already, check out the last post so you can get caught up! Now where did we leave off?
Lost. Dir. Jack Bender. Perf. Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly. N.d. Net. Netflix. Web. 19 Apr. 2015.
Jack runs
through the edge of the brush and the camera pans out to a beautiful beach
scene. The camera shows a broken plane and people running about. Logically you
are able to conclude that the reason why Jack is on this island is due to a
plane crash. He is weaving in and around the crowds of people and huge debris.
All that can be
heard is the sound of the engine, the sounds of people screaming, and yelling
“Help me.” Individuals are running around, calling out, and trying to find
their loved ones. You can hear the panic and devastation throughout this entire
scene.
Almost all of
these people are injured and bleeding. Such graphic and heartbreaking scenes were
carefully placed into the first episode to capture you through your emotions of
sympathy, sadness, and grief.

Jack looks over by
one of the plane engines and a man is screaming for help, stuck under a huge
sheet of debris. The piece of metal is so heavy; he couldn’t even pick it up an
inch. He begins recruits surrounding men to help the individual who is trapped
escape.
Jack immediately
begins to take on the leadership role. This sets the tone of Jack’s personality
for the remainder of not only the episode, but also the series.
This is not the
only person Jack helps. He begins to search the beach again to find someone
else who is in need of assistance during this tragic time. Not only is Jack a
leader, but also he is also exceedingly selfless.
Jack sees an
extremely pregnant young blonde woman clutching her stomach while hunched over
the sand. While tending to the pregnant woman, Claire, he is eying a young man
attempting to give CPR to an older woman, and failing.

After recruiting
a nearby survivor named Hurley to look after Claire, Jack darts over to the
young man trying to perform CPR. For the viewer, it is beginning to become difficult
to keep up with the emotions that you are experiencing, as they are mimicking
what the characters in the show are feeling also.
Lost does an
amazing job of using particular scenes, such as this one, to allow you to
connect with the characters being presented to them.
Things are starting to get crazy. What is
Jack going to come across next? Stay tuned!
