"Murder" is a series premiered on April 3 this year by AMC TV. AMC was originally a cable TV station that mainly broadcasts classic old movies, with very few self-produced programs. It was not until the launch of "Mad Men" that swept the US television industry in 2007 that the production of this non-mainstream movie channel was made. Power is admired. Although there are not many AMC works in recent years, the genre attempts are very extensive. Among them, the commercial romance drama "Mad Men", the black suspense drama "Breaking Bad", and the zombie action drama "The Walking Dead" have all achieved great success. Murder is the test of their crime drama.
"Murder" is adapted from the Danish TV series "Forbrydelsen". It tells the process of detecting a murder of a teenage girl in Seattle. Different from the unit series of mainstream crime detection dramas in the United States, the 13 episodes of the entire season of "Murder" are only about this one case. If you have not been exposed to AMC dramas before, you may be a little uncomfortable with the life-oriented, slow-paced crime melodrama like "Murder". There is no dazzling DNA extraction and trace detection in "CSI", and there is no The precise profiling and motive descriptions of criminals in "Criminal Minds" do not have the intricate reasoning and layout that make the criminals show their true colors while talking and laughing in "Super Sensible Detective". Some are only visible evidence and reasoning of conventional intelligence. Part of the time I follow the wrong clues and make detours, and the consequences of the mistakes can be very serious. The policeman is no longer the superman in ordinary police films. Mireille Enos, who plays the heroine of detective Sarah Linden, looks plain and has no idol temperament, which makes her perseverance and sense of justice have ordinary brilliance.
Although the main line of the story of "Murder" is to solve the case, the theme of the story is the harm between people. This kind of injury is changing in an increasingly desperate way, whether it is subjective intentional or passive reaction. The life of the people around, so the overall tone of "Murder" is gloomy and stagnant. There is also a very important auxiliary clue in the play that the victim Rosie’s parents, Stan and Mitch, went from grief to outbreak and finally led to tragedy after their daughter was killed. Originally, this was the worst dramatic line in the play, but it eventually became The most powerful part of the show is mainly due to its meticulous and rich detail design. For example, when Stan goes to the morgue to recognize the corpse, the first action is to subconsciously cover the daughter on the morgue. The exposed feet, the subsequent arrangements for the daughter’s relics, the purchase of coffins, and the arrangement of funeral procedures, are all laid out in a large line drawing, so that the audience feels a little bit of the pain they have endured. , Thus going to collapse with them. When Stan lost his reason and sprayed the anger of revenge on an innocent person, what we saw was that the two injured people were suffering pain that did not belong to them. This was a suffocating scene. It is particularly worth mentioning that Michelle Forbes, who played the role of mother Mitch, gave top performances in the play. She performed the stages from sadness to helplessness to grief and anger.
The plot of another important character, Richmond, running for mayor is also a clue throughout the play. From the very beginning and the detection clue to the final frontal handover, this is a cruel truth surfaced, but in the end the plot will be reversed. This line was introduced into the next season, but we saw that the damage continued until the last shot of the whole show. 【Southern Metropolis Daily】
