I was recommended by Douyou before. After reading the introduction, I felt too gloomy and decided to give up. But after watching the Emmy Awards, Frances McDormand left a deep impression on me - she was very "dazzling" among a bunch of brightly dressed and exquisitely dressed actresses, and she was ordinary and unremarkable. The dress in the dress, the unkempt hair, and the wrinkled face that doesn't seem to have been applied with foundation, the expression is also as serious as the character version in the play. In fact, her performance in Fargo was not highly evaluated before, and I have to admit that she is the kind of restrained acting school.
There are so many questions on the Internet that briefly describe the whole plot, so I won't write it. I just want to talk about my feelings about this drama, the Pulitzer-winning novel is another typical "good film and television drama" adapted from a "good novel". What is the main point? Still "people, family, life", I remembered a high-scoring British drama I watched last time——
" Another thing the shows have in common is their large span in time (the latter being even bigger). From when Olive's son was a child to finally starting a family and starting a business, divorced and remarried and had children.
Let's talk about the performances of the actors. Watching the Emmy Awards, except for the female supporting roles, all others have won awards. To be honest, there are not many roles for the female supporting role, and it is also very good to be shortlisted. Richard Jenkins' performance is really good, I haven't seen much of his work. I just remember that at the 81st Oscars, Brody came to name him. I don’t know why he was looking for him. He was only 30 years old when he was the best actor, but for this old man, he only won the Oscar once. prize. It's a pity, maybe he was born with a quiet performance that can only be appreciated by the minority. In the play, he is a "perfect warm" old man, in sharp contrast to the heroine, who loves to chat with people, like to encourage others and help others, but in the end he spends the last short life in a hospital bed due to an accidental stroke and blindness. This character is like the sun's rays in the whole drama full of "depression".
Not much to say about the heroine's performance, she supported the whole drama, an old woman who was depressed and a little cold like a witch, and finally she began to compromise with the world, but in her later years, she was with her only son at this time. After a big fight, he didn't speak for months, attempted suicide, and met another lonely old man who had lost his partner. Those more "outside" performances are actually not many, but the whole grasp is very good.
In general, there are many novels about people and life, and many film and television works adapted from them. Looking at these works, there is always a sense of reality that cannot be separated, a sense of helplessness, a sense of depression, but life is actually like this, so why avoid it.
