After watching The night of one day, HBO's production is indeed a boutique. There are eight episodes in the whole drama, and when I watch it, I don't think it's an American drama, but a documentary. First of all, the whole play is from the perspective of God, flat and straightforward, calm and restrained, which is related to the whole play describing the process of criminal justice in the United States. When describing murders in traditional dramas, they often follow a rapid soundtrack + siren + ambulance sound, swaying for two seconds, followed by intense detection activities. But the actual murder scene is what The night of shows. After a night of rave, Naz woke up to find that the woman he had reveled with had been killed last night. Seeing her naked body full of knife marks, Naz fled the scene in fear, and received the alarm. While complaining about working overtime again tonight, the police drove to the scene of the murder in the rush of traffic. They were already numb to the murder, but the tragic death of the deceased still made a male patrolman dizzy and vomited. Secondly, the details of the whole play are handled like a documentary. Did the male patrol officer vomit on the spot after seeing the victim's body, but tried to clarify that he didn't vomit; the female patrol officer didn't care who the murderer was, but only cared about the lengthy report he was going to write, with a sad face; in the police car, Naz was terrified. Looking around, there are trembling hands under a calm expression; Stone is defending others, while constantly changing doctors to treat eczema on his feet; the novice female lawyer looked at Naz and Stone with big simple eyes. Everyone's character is different and their life is different, they are only temporarily linked together because of this murder. And the show's most obvious display of human nature is the protagonist Naz. He was a good boy on weekdays, reminding his classmates to do their homework and being honest and kind, but in high school he illegally sold prescription drugs to classmates at three times the price. He drove his father's cab owned by the other three to a party in Manhattan without his father's permission, explicitly rejecting two black male passengers, but not the beautiful and sexy Andrea. He is a Muslim, but he took drugs only because of Andrea's sexually suggestive few words, and he did not bear in mind the creed of Muslims to help others. When he saw Andrea lying in bed covered with scars, he fled without confirming her life and death. He didn't call 911. Two hours after the police inspected the scene, as if to make up for his sin, he just asked the police "Did she. He smuggled drugs for Freddy, he took drugs, he snitched, he beat people. Some people think this is the other side of Naz, but I think that everyone has a double side, and the environment will make this person positive over negative, or negative over positive, there are very few people who come out of the mud and don't get stained, one. Ordinary people can only choose to adapt to the environment, especially in the prison environment where they can be killed at any time, the desire to live makes Naz choose to change. Before his arrest, he was a well-behaved Muslim boy, and by the time he was released, he was a qualified criminal. The long criminal trial not only caused Naz's parents to lose their once well-behaved son, but also broke Naz's current relationship with distrust of him. The overwhelming media coverage made it worse. Although Naz was finally acquitted, everyone in the community was Still treating him as a criminal and keeping him at a distance, Naz's parents are even more difficult to find decent jobs, and the criminal trial has spent most of the Naz family's savings, and the family is on the verge of despair. The show is tragic, and although Naz is finally free, his life of talking and laughing with his classmates and loving his parents will never go back. And Naz himself, as Stone once said to him: One day you stand in front of the mirror and you find you don't recognize yourself anymore.
