The first season of "Big Little Lies" is a 7-episode mini-series. It doesn't have the pressure of dozens of episodes, and it's very exciting. The intricate development starting from school bullying is about education, marriage, and people in a broad sense. The relationship with people, the plot is exciting, and it is full of many eye-catching elements, such as female tearing and small groups, sex and violence between Celest and her husband, interrogation and crime descriptions that have been inserted since the first episode, The veil wasn't lifted until the final episode, leaving people guessing what was going on.
The middle-class mothers in Monteray educate their children with a model full of control. Under the seemingly perfect image of life, there are various undercurrents, conflicts between husband and wife, secret rivalries between mothers, intergenerational conflicts between parents and children, every Individuals work very hard to live their own lives and to present their perfect side to others in order to defend the meaning and legitimacy of their lives. But absolute perfection does not exist. Just like what Madeline used to persuade Abigail not to auction her first night with the mistakes she had cheated on, no one is perfect, she has also made big mistakes, although in the eyes of others she It always looks right.
The morbid relationship between Perry and Celest also touched me a lot. This should be the first time I saw PUA and domestic violence, and observed it from the perspective of a female subject. Even in the conversation with the counselor, Celest will defend the man who hurts himself mentally and physically again and again, deceiving himself that everyone is not perfect, even though he wants to leave every time he is violent , but never made up his mind. From the counselor's point of view, we can clearly observe Celest's unnatural facial expressions and various contradictory narratives, her hesitations and struggles, ironically, Celest used to be a very successful and confident lawyer, and she maintains In stark contrast to Madline's self-confidence and ease in performing "Avenue Q", it is hard to imagine the psychological damage suffered by women who have been subjected to domestic violence and PUA. The cruelest thing is that Celest has always thought that Perry is very good to children, and has always been worried about the harm to children caused by family breakdown. Although we only see Perry and children on the screen, children are very sensitive. , they could sense what happened, and finally revealed that Max was the real murderer of school bullying, which directly broke Celest's last thoughts. In the end, it is heartening to kill Perry with the support of the Women's League and a push from Bonnie, and the women's allies help each other and testify, making the murder seem like an accident.
