Killing Eve
Waited a long time to watch this drama. Because Sandra Wu's acting skills have been blown up before this, I am looking forward to it.
It turns out that most of the high expectations lead to low feedback, and Jodie Comer, who doesn't expect anything at all, is surprising.
In terms of roles:
Villanelle is a dazzling "villain," a fusion of innocence and evil, her undisguised rage and unleashed sexuality, which makes this Russian-born female assassin who yearns to live in Paris missing a wonderful character. The screenwriter's writing is good, and Jodie Comer's performance is not bad (I really like her control of expressions), so the characters are deeply impressed.
Instead, Eve squandered her special color as an Asian woman, except for the sexy black waves that could lift Villanelle at any time (maybe this is just some kind of Villanelle's affection for her teacher?) She is a down-to-earth, American woman. Of course, we don't want to see her sit down with Villanelle and talk about parenthood, kimchi sashimi, etc. If joining Asia is the next branch of Netflix, then consider more introverted peeks into the inner world of Asian women. Ms. Wu Shanzhuo's presentation is very exciting, but in the second half, she completely abandoned the family's pursuit of Villanelle's Eve, which always made people feel that some of the contradictions were lost.
Plot aspect:
The opening was red, the air was lacking, and the ending was a bit unfinished, but the 10 minutes at the end made people climax.
The screenwriter deliberately created the phenomenon that female hormones are attracted to each other, and the male characters have a low and weak presence in this film. The story line of Eve's husband was simply lost in the second half, which is a pity. Of course not, this is to make the audience better focus on these two women.
If God always created another partner when he created man, and our whole life journey is to find someone to accompany us on a journey, then Villanelle and Eve are probably such a pair in the world of screenwriters.
I have read a bean friend who wrote about the mutual exploration and fusion of the superego and the id in the Freudian theory of the corresponding two characters (sorry I really forgot which one) It is really good. A wanna feel things, a needs to stop feeling and just do things. If you look at this film as a schizophrenic's self-chasing, it feels like a drama version of "Fight Club" came out.
But having said that, wonderful characters, no matter the protagonist or supporting role, need to complete the task together in a complete logic and story line. Now it seems that the last ten minutes tell us that 80% of the two protagonists are completed, and other supporting roles and stories are lost. .
In addition, two little points that I love very much:
1. The British humor of the British screenwriter can really make you faint with laughter every time.
2. The Russian name of Villanelle, Оксана, comes from the ancient Slavic family, meaning "different". As me who bumped into her name, I really hope I can be so cool too.
