Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant's new HBO work, the first episode has a very exciting preface, let's take a look at the three BGMs belonging to Nicole Kidman in the first episode.
This drama has been updated for 2 episodes so far, which is very exciting. I can only sit on the small bench and wait for the next episode.
Don't talk about the plot, let's analyze the details. In episode 1, there is such an impressive piece of music that it appears 3 times, each time with Nicole Kidman's actions, much like her BGM. Moreover, Nicole Kidman, as the protagonist, has a lot of emotional fluctuations, and it is also the highlight. Just like this music, it is full of dramatic tension.
Except for 3 repetitions, this piece of music did not appear at all in the second episode, because it broke the beauty of the first episode, and there was no such happy and high emotion anymore. The contrast between before and after is huge.
just look at the picture.
first piece of music
The first piece of music appears around 6'34" (because there is an advertising problem in the first part of the video, so I am not sure about the specific time period), which is played by Hugh Grant's Jonathan on the way to send his son with Nicole Kidman Grace's junction on the way to work. This is the first time this music appeared in "Do Nothing". It appeared on Hugh Grant's way to send his son to school and her to work. There was good communication between the father and son. At the same time, the son also pointed out that Hugh Grant was in a bad mood recently, suggesting something. The music is full of emotions, and with Nicole Kidman's happy expression, it can be seen that she is in a state of very happy life. Such a high level of emotion cannot but be a huge contrast when the subsequent events develop.
second piece of music
The second paragraph comes around 17'18'', and Grace and Jonathan have some arguments about whether to move, and disagreements arise.
This piece of music is also Nicole Kidman on the road, but it is clear that her emotions are not as high as the previous one, and even her smile is not as happy. The same music, different emotions, Nicole Kidman's emotional processing is in place, allowing the music to gradually produce a feeling of "doing things" from the original emotional expression.
third piece of music
The third paragraph appears around 52'51'' at the end of the first episode, after Grace discovers that Jonathan is deliberately missing.
Nicole Kidman kept contacting Hugh Grant after hearing about the murder, but she didn't want to find her husband's mobile phone at home. She intuitively told her that Hugh Grant's disappearance might be related to the murder. So, in a hurry, she contacted every hotel he might live in, but found nothing. At this time, her emotions were not only conveyed through her eyes, expressions and movements, but also continuously rendered and amplified through this piece of music.
The three pieces of music in the first episode, the continuously progressive emotions, coupled with superb acting skills, completely opened the prelude to a good show.
