'19, '20 is the year Hollywood giants will make their forays into streaming platforms in action. After Netflix's streaming media and one-off full episode broadcast mode almost completely changed the audience's viewing habits, a new land appeared. Naturally, the giants would not allow this new "disruptor" to make money by themselves, so they took their own hands. The big IPs have occupied the high ground to open their own streaming media platforms. This year was also a year when Apple, as a terminal equipment supplier, slowed down the growth rate of traditional product profits. Straight-line innovation is not enough, it can only open up the width. Therefore, while shifting the focus of income to electronic service products, this big brother in the innovation field also decided to test the water content field. After all, enter the market early, lay the foundation early and make money early. Although the highlands are not counted, at least there are occupied a basin. If the strategy is certain, then it is only left to invite professional people to do professional things.
Choosing to launch its own streaming platform Apple TV+ before Disney+ hits shelves at the end of 2019, the strategic layout and final implementation are both beautiful and efficient. The debut must be sincere, so Apple invested 6 billion US dollars in the production of the first wave of original content, and The Morning Show, which is the top brand, first reported that it accounted for 300 million, and the US media have used the title "average An episode costing more than Game of Thrones." (Although the producer subsequently clarified that the report budget was inflated, the level of attention is evident)
I watched the first episode when it was first released, because the online reviews compared it with The Newsroom, the fast-paced first episode that I was looking forward to, didn't appear, so I put it on hold. Recently, the quarantine was taken out and continued. After binge for the next nine episodes, sitting in front of the computer couldn't calm down. This is definitely a drama that was delayed by the first episode.
tms tries to innovate from the character plot design to the content itself, to flip the established mode of the current era, which deserves applause.
First, the three-dimensional shaping of the characters. There is no black or white good or bad. This is a fact of the times, a fact of human nature, and a fact. The screenwriter's storytelling style does not guide the audience to form a certain impression of the characters, but allows the audience to relive the events experienced by each character and their first feelings, so we found that everyone has pain points and original sin. Maybe in the end we can pick out a camp, that is, the company culture problem caused by all the people in uba resisting high-level fred for justice. maximize the company's interests. As a businessman under capitalism, his choice is reasonable. Maybe we find that we can fully agree with Bradley's position, but when Bradley finally finds out that she has caused Hannah to be irreversibly hurt for the truth, we also realize that she, who seems to have the purest motives in the whole Vanity Fair, is actually human. of congruence. But as Bradley's younger brother said:
"The world is a fucking shit but watching you think it's saving and working hard for it is my greatest joy."
Again, content. In recent years, there have been countless themed dramas on the topic of feminism. They are rarely obscure, and most of them are extreme. Some of them have become venting dramas, and some of them have become political propaganda benchmarks. But tms tries to ask some questions from the perspective of the "perpetrator", the questions that are buried in everyone's heart but cannot be asked: Are you not profiting from it? Did you not seduce? Why didn't you stop me then?
Again, the answers to these questions are not that simple, because these are personal issues. As the director who was frozen in the first few episodes said:
"Humanity happens in these unspoken moments and I just feel bad for a generation that loses that."
Yes, how to measure human nature on a precise scale?
I remember a scene where mitch and hannah quarreled downstairs, and every word was bloody.
"We were going to know each other, Hannah. I didn't lure you up there. I didn't coerce you. I didn't trick you. We went up there and it fuckin' happened. You're an adult. You could have said something. Hey, you're a smart woman, aren't you? From what I can tell you're. You're pretty intelligent. And a part woman knows what it means when the lead anchor, who makes 20 fuckin' million dollars a year, is hanging out with the assistant booker. A smart woman doesn't think “Oh he's invited me up to his hotel room because he wants a new best friend. You're a booker. You charm people into being on the show. You seduce them. You know what? You can't be mad because you got seduced."
Every modern woman is educated to be smart, independent, brave and strong, and as a smart woman, you should know what you put yourself in between, and you should know what the consequences are. You will also seduce others to achieve your own goals, whether in your career or in other areas, so in this matter, you can't get angry because you have been seduced.
Does this sound outrageous? Are the words all wrong? Not necessarily.
These are the questions women have to deal with in this new century, and since you look smart and since you already know men are assholes, you really should know what to do. But when human nature happens, when real psychological damage occurs, and you don’t want to admit defeat and show weakness, it’s politically incorrect to go wherever you go. How should you measure it?
In the end of the series, fred was chosen as the outlet for the audience to vent their emotions. In this powerless society, we always choose to resist something. After watching a lot of feminist cool dramas, tms made me unable to unload these burdens for a while, because even with some comfort from this dramatic ending, the world is still full of problems.
Slate 's Willa Paskin's review, " The Morning Show Is a Triumph of Bad Taste ." "It's not great, but oh, God, is it interesting ," can probably be understood as "a fighter in trash taste?" But she Continue to say "It's not perfect, but oh, Lord, is it watchable . It's not very good, but hurry up, sit by me, it's starting . "
Yeah, the problem isn't solved, the world still fucks like this, but who's to blame for? That's question is what made this show so fuckin grabbing.
