After sorting out the recent film list, I would like to give the best acting contribution of the year to Kate Winslet Kate Winslet. We all know this great actor from Rose from Titanic. Kate, who is over half a hundred years old, still has an excellent performance in this suspense drama. In the play, she plays a policewoman? ‍♀️Every day she runs around trivial matters in a small town, I saw her sad face and tired eyes. Maybe it's because of a bad relationship with her mother, maybe it's her dead son, her ex-husband who left her, or her former friends are puzzled by her work, but the heroine Mare's supposedly glorious professional coat is covered with a cloud of haze.

Returning to a suspense drama itself, the beginning of the story broke the tranquility of the town with a young girl's body, and Mare also launched an investigation. As the case is solved, we can see that there is also an undercurrent surging under the sky of this gray town all day long.

(I won't describe the plot in detail, to avoid spoilers? The truth is unexpected)

I think this drama is more like a "Big Little Lies" for the underclass people in the United States than other suspense dramas where the plots of the cases are carefully crafted. "Nightmare in the East City" focuses on rendering the environment and embodying the lifestyle of the characters in the town. Compared with the insight into cases of suspense dramas, this drama is better than insight into people's hearts. The small town is also like a room shrouded in a dome. Everyone lives beside Mare. Their suspicions, which are completely different from their daily state, are slowly tearing up the masks, revealing cruelty. with inner vortex.

Why Nightmare? Because the small town in the play is a nightmare, everyone has a nightmare hidden in their hearts, and Mare is also full of negative energy because of his son's departure. The people around her seem to be leaving, but she seems to be indifferent, and can only reveal her sincerity carefully in front of a psychiatrist. And Mare is also completing a journey of self-healing in the process of investigating the case. The case that she has not solved is also peeled off with the girl's death, and the truth is also emerging... And Mare also listed acquaintances around her as suspects People recognize the dark side of anger, cowardice, etc. that people hide.

When I was in the second brush, I paid more attention to the eyes of the heroine Mare. Such delicate and vivid acting skills are intriguing. She is so lifelike, yet so attractive to others. Like Nicole Kidman's "Big Little Lies", it contains the image of a silent and sullen heroine, but in this show, it is the leap of the bottom people. The former screen goddesses have all turned to the small screen, and I think this is also the trend. Emmy-nominated actors for this show also won? It's a strong proof.

Familiar American drama recipes, the life of the bottom people, drugs, domestic violence, marriage, and same-sex love are also infiltrated into the drama, revealing the meaning of life and life. The police detective played by Evan Peters who appeared in the play also deeply rooted the brilliance and responsibility of the police. The last time I knew him was in the "American Horror Story" drama, is he a rising star?!

Opening high and walking low, the main creator does not know what is enough. The heroine is divorced, her ex-husband will remarry, her son committed suicide a few years ago, and may lose custody of her grandson. There is also a daughter who will go to college and her old mother at home. Under such a complicated family relationship, she has to try her best to be a good police detective and solve cases; besides family relationship and work, she also encounters one peach blossom after another. How busy is this! The play is too full! The same is true for the teenage mother who is the protagonist of the case. The focus is too heavy on her character, and she cannot hold back her personality: this girl is a teenage mother, who has broken up with the child's father and is connected to each other. She also yearns for a new relationship and engages in online dating. Father, I also had a past with my uncle. With so many scenes, do you think she is the female protagonist of meat?

Netizens say that this drama is slow-paced. It can only be said that the audience is now spoiled by fast-paced short videos. In my opinion, the screenwriter's ability to control the narrative rhythm has become so powerful that it makes me jealous. The narrative efficiency of each scene is quite high, and the group portraits of the whole town are quickly spread with as little brush and ink as possible, and every character is real , delicate, no labelled character setting, but it can quickly let the audience understand the character traits of different characters. The whole town setting is real enough to be empathetic (if you were born in a similarly small place rather than a big city), giving the later strong plot (murder) a solid environmental foundation. After completing so many drama functions, the author can also complete the meticulous shaping of the heroine's image, and methodically promote the development of the story step by step, the layers of suspense, and the transformation of crisis. Such a strong narrative ability is said to be slow, and I really feel incomprehensible.
