American crime dramas generally have a fast rhythm. This has something to do with the basic setting of telling a complete story in one episode. In addition, this is also in line with the national conditions of the United States, a large social environment that pays attention to rhythm and efficiency. No one will have the patience to watch you tell a story after a few episodes. At the same time, the structure of one story for one episode makes screenwriters more worry-free, because it doesn’t matter even if one episode is bad. There are more than 20 episodes that can be remedied, one season Just tell a few stories in it.
So a series similar to the US version of "Murder" has an amazing feeling, although there are obvious bugs in this show, there is more than one. But it is still a good show. In line with the requirements of popular American dramas, both the soundtrack and the background are basically fast-paced. So the lines appear simple and direct, and basically all things like lyricism can be saved. In addition, considering the arrangement of time and plot, crime-related American dramas generally focus on a certain aspect, or the analysis ability of the protagonist or the collaboration ability of the team or other things. In short, most of the American dramas will be single. Angle, of course, there are also episodes that are expressed from the perspective of criminals, but they are relatively rare. Therefore, watching American TV shows will be enjoyable, because I have watched many stories, seen different events, and learned a lot of plots and information in one season. There are also various characters who are packed to appear on the stage, there is always one you like.
In short, American dramas will tell you what you can think of and what you can't.
British dramas are different. Most crime dramas tell a story in one season, or they tell a complete story in several episodes. Even if there are occasional British dramas with one episode and one story, they also gather a lot of information, which can only be understood by reading it twice (the most typical example is the new version of Sherlock Holmes).
In view of the fact that most British dramas are multiple episodes or one story in one season, their episode structure is much slower, especially this one. This should also have an inseparable relationship with the British environment. In line with the plot, both the soundtrack and the shooting techniques are slow to make people worry about when the criminals can be caught. But the slow pace does not mean the procrastination of the plot. This is the biggest difference from the slowness of Korean dramas. You may miss the key if you leave for a few minutes.
In addition, the British drama emphasizes the multi-angle approach in its structure. On the one hand, as the police, on the other hand, it will put a lot of space on the description of the criminals, even if the criminals do not appear clearly and detailed as in this drama. , Will also narrate the situation of the offender in other ways, so that the whole story will be complete. At the end of the episode, we as the audience will not only understand the consequences of this crime story, but also the antecedents. At the same time, the process in the middle is also clear. That is to say, the crime drama of the British drama will not only tell us what happened and how to crack it, but also tell us in detail why and how it happened. At the same time, this kind of notification is multi-angled, and the story is particularly complete in the British drama. That is to say, the amazing "Murder" in the American TV series mentioned earlier is just like everyone else in the British TV series.
Unlike the slightly fancy American dramas, most of the scenes shot in the British drama crime dramas are very clean, without clutter or noisy backgrounds, they are particularly quiet, and they are mostly long shots and close-up shots, with piano or violin. Or other string music, there is often the illusion that it is not a crime drama, but the crime under this lens is more bloody and pornographic than the American drama. To be honest, I have watched many crime dramas, and it seems that I have not seen a dew point. But in the British drama, this is simply not a problem. From the 19th century to the 21st century, it has been exposed all the way, ha ha.
Because of the multi-angles and the realism of the plot of the picture, British dramas will appear very real most of the time. However, because of the characteristics of the shooting technique, the audience is alienated, which in turn creates a sense of distance from the plot, so I watch English. Dramas generally do not have a sense of fear, because British dramas always tell you that this is a story, not true, even if it is a bloody picture.
Speaking of this drama, it is actually a more typical British drama crime drama. The image of the female police chief is also common in British dramas, but this time the starring role is still pretty good. The most brilliant one is just finished. In the third episode of, she told the internal investigation team that the three words Man, Woman and F*ck were arranged in different orders and produced different results. Not to mention the aura, the voice expression is really amazing, the most Love the last shot of her sitting behind the desk alone, the king is over the world! As for Mr. Criminal, he is handsome enough this time, and the two kinds of life are also quite slippery. It's just that the analysis of his background has just begun so far, so I can't say anything else.
But even so, this drama still reflects the characteristics of a typical British drama. It has a multi-angle approach. The detailed level of the crime process is suspected of teaching bad children. In addition, the seemingly simple plot setting still explains the story. Background and general environment, even though the police detective of the crime team died as soon as they came out, they can still interpret the situation of the Irish gang as the background and the current situation of social contradictions. In this social background, the villain psychologist and his nurse wife are Ordinary people are busy with work, but their lives are depressed. Superficial harmony cannot conceal contradictions and the status quo. The British identity of the female police officer is also sensitive here, and the seemingly simple story is hidden with many puzzles, which is also one of the characteristics of the British drama.
Finally, let’s talk about the title of the film "The Fall". Fall as a noun means falling and falling. It is not difficult to see from these meanings that it is a noun of behavior with a process, so it probably also implies that the male protagonist’s crime is not done overnight. It is a slow and long-term cumulative process, coupled with the explanation of the social background in the series, it can be seen that the screenwriter still wants to replay the old tune and tell the audience that in a bad and getting worse society, it is destined to be All sins are derived from those who intend to do so, and so do ordinary people. Everyone may become the one who commits crimes in such an environment. In addition, Fall also means autumn. I think this may be the editor's metaphor for those victims, who are all cruel things that grow like summer flowers and die like autumn leaves.
OK, the text is basically over.
One last thing, because I am also chasing the American drama "Hannibal" recently (if you haven't watched it, please check it out, there are unexpected surprises), and I watched a few episodes of "Proof of the Dead" and found that the psychological counselor is really The high-incidence occupations of crime, and the concentration seems to be the kind of high IQ, psychological and abnormal criminals that are difficult to catch.
