Analyze the emotional psychology of the male and female protagonist and the too ambiguous stalks of the director and screenwriter

It’s been a long time since I saw a drama that made me scream! Especially the relationship between Julia and David, the two people started to be hostile (pretty much unilateral hostility) to slowly approaching, but each with a purpose and selfishness, it is simply the "spies and shadows" in the relationship. Before I did it, I knew that the hostess would eventually lay out the emotional bed, so I paid special attention to some ambiguous little details. If you watch these little details without knowing it, they may be easily overlooked. That’s why Many viewers think that the emotional drama is too "obtrusive" or "dog-blooded". However, every shot arrangement and every detail laid out by the director and screenwriter must be purposeful. I will update this article at the same time as the second brush, try to find out all the stalks related to the emotional line, add my own humble opinion, analyze and guess the emotional process of the character. Some places may be a little verbose or too detailed, but I intend to try to figure out the arrangement of the director and screenwriter, so as to improve my storytelling ability.


In fact, the two posters are already very interesting. In the first picture, the two are walking towards No. 10 Downing Street. Julia is looking at the people outside the fence, while David's eyes are fixed on Julia. The scene is set in front of the Prime Minister's Office instead of the Ministry of Interior, and the meaning of the action of "walking" is obvious. If you don't know the plot at first glance, you might even think that this is a female prime minister. The btw poster also uses the large-grain texture that is popular with photos on the Internet.

Formal poster

If you think that David staring at Julia in the first poster is just his duty, and he hasn't revealed much about the relationship between the two, then let's look at the second one. Like the first poster, the three parties and their relationships can be revealed in the poster, namely Julia, David, and Lai Zhe (the first poster is a reporter). Compared with the first poster in an open space and the second poster in a relatively closed corridor, David's purpose at this time is more emphasized-to block the incoming. Of course, because the visitor is suspicious, it needs to be blocked, but Julia does not focus on the suspicious visitor, but observes David. I am more inclined to think that Julia is observing, looking with a strong purpose. The half-hidden body and blur in the composition, plus the slightly lowered head and slanting eyes to look upwards, this is an action more similar to voyeurism. Very interesting.

Bodyguard e01

The first half of the train bomb incident was skipped.

On the way David returned to his office after the incident, it was Julia's speech on the incident on the radio. This was the first time the two had contacted each other. But David turned off the radio and got out of the car before listening, which also hinted that he felt that the so-called "tribute" of politicians to frontline personnel was bullshit's attitude.

In-car broadcast

Then David received the news of a promotion and forced a grudging smile. Here I think that because of David's prejudice against politicians, no matter who he is a bodyguard, he will be the same reluctantly.

When he got home, David immediately Googled information about Julia. In addition to divorce and lawyer experience, the only child also explains to a certain extent Julia's independent proposition but also desires for intimacy. This also reveals the age difference that many audiences discuss haha. The subsequent news of Julia's support for overseas military operations undoubtedly deepened David's prejudice. By this point, it has laid a solid foundation for the two men's mismatch.

Google information: no siblings

The scene shifts to David's pre-departure preparations the next morning. This series of shots of changing clothes and extracting weapons has two functions: explaining the daily work of the bodyguard, and ambushing pen-it is this special shirt close-up. This shirt played a big role in the subsequent changes in the attitudes of the two.

Important props close-up

The two met for the first time in the morning the next morning. David made a suggestion, and Julia's response was almost rolling his eyes. David found that Julia was a very difficult person. Unexpectedly, when he was off work, David was denied again for his official business. He was probably outraged to be able to say this sentence. I wanted Julia to see how badly he was, but he was still so speechless?了lol.

Can't hold back emotions

When she got out of the car, Julia walked by without even looking at her, her impatience went up straight; after entering the house, she even sighed and was completely speechless; after the phone call, she became angry and directly exploded and fucked off. This set of several shots that constantly cut each other between Julia and David, in addition to showing the status of the two, it also strengthens the atmosphere of opposition. The first shot in the picture below is wonderful, simple and clever. David turned his head and left after responding with “None taken”, leaving Julia with the blur behind, staring at David's back, gradually losing sight of her with David's footsteps. , Leaving plenty of room for reverie. Julia probably sighed helplessly on the spot, and finally realized that her attitude was too bad and softened a little. She still chased into the room to add two sentences, and also made a death star joke. So far, the two people are officially in the same frame again.

Finally the same frame after a large number of cuts

After reading the case report, Julia took the initiative to show his favor. David initially only complied with Julia’s wishes and agreed, but he did not expect Julia to be serious about this trivial matter, fully demonstrating her sincerity and respect for him, not in the morning. Listening to the same scenes and words of politicians that I thought when I listened to the radio, I finally showed a smile from the heart, All is forgiven. This is the key turning point for all subsequent emotional development, and it is also the beginning of my heart-wrenching yelling.

Smile from the heart

When the door was opened, Rob obviously misunderstood hahahahahaha, and pretended to invite to eat shrimp crackers, tentatively naked. David also obviously realized that Rob was a little cautious, and deliberately stared at Rob wishing Julia "Have a good evening" hahahahahaha. After Julia answered, Rob immediately walked in. There was a shadow of him walking on the wall, the heart of Sima Zhao. When it was over, David saw Rob's flattering face in secret, but it was just a real hammer to bury the foreshadowing of the later dating incident.


Tired, continue another day.
