Yes, as you can see, the topic is very lengthy, hey hey, it's so skinny~
Regarding the title of "The Secret No. 9" ("Inside No.9"), the creator mentioned in an interview that it was a random name, and it was not originally the number 9. Later, he felt that 9 was more eloquent and adopted... ...I highly suspect that the main creator is here to make a sly trick, and it feels like a book challenging the audience's intelligence, so I think "9" is more like a Dadaist to David Cole. Use a knife to randomly insert "dada" in the dictionary. It may be derived from a flash of inspiration, but we can analyze from the drama that the existence of "9" is by no means random named by the directors. It even became a kind of obsessive-compulsive paranoia, and the frequent points at the beginning of each episode made "9" gradually become the central image of the expression, and even condensed it into a potential theme.
you know what? I even think that "9" is the ghost in this intellectual game. It has been staring at the bright spot. You and I have nowhere to hide to be tricked by it. It seems that once it enters the logic and metaphor of the game itself, it hides its traces. However, it often shows people's hints, so that the illusory and blurred genius narrative itself has condensed invisible clues.
the "9" is watching us. It's a game of wits and the brave, come on!
S1Ep.1 Sardines
S1Ep.2 A Quiet Night In
(ps. This episode is painstakingly managed to be an exquisite theft, and the graceful piano cooperates into a stealing pantomime similar to performance art. It is very interesting to cut from the title "quiet", and its antithesis "noise" occurs. It is precisely because of the plot that the deaf paul was eliminated one by one, from the nanny, to the dog, to the fake woman in disguise, etc. The appearance of deaf paul at the end was an unexpected point. It has to be said that the ridicule of modern art is clever and shows little trace. of)
S1Ep.3 Tom & Gerry
(ps. Having watched the "Cat and Mouse Game" by Fudan Drama Club makes the experience of watching Ep.3 completely useless. The spoilers are really terrible.)
The light and shadow in Ep.3 reminds people of Freud's metaphor. Consciousness is a bright house, and the house is surrounded by darkness. The subconscious is dangerous and majestic. There are many psychoanalytic elements worth pondering. .
S1Ep.4 LAST GASP
Fudan Drama Club has also performed this script, and the spoilers have turned everything into a dull gray.
S1Ep.5 The Understudy
Macbeth is reinterpreted from a new perspective.
S1Ep.6 The Harrowing
In tribute to Edgar Allan Poe, the interaction of classic elements is cleverly used, the black cat and the House of Usher.
S2Ep.1 LA COUCHETTE
Tribute to Murder on the Orient Express
S2Ep.2 THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTINE
S2Ep3. THE TRIAL OF ELIZABETH GADGE
I have to say, watching this is really mind-blowing.
I have to say that my judgment on many of the 9 elements in the play is similar to witch trial, just for fun.
S2Ep4.COLD COMFORT
All the following monitoring dates are marked with 09 on the right side, which are not listed.
S2Ep.5 NANA'S PARTY
S2Ep.6 SEANCE TIME
There are so many striking similarities between this episode and the last episode of the previous season, the shabby and eerie old castle, the eerie psychic medium, the solo visitor, a notable detail is that in this type of horror story, the telephone, etc. The addition of modern technology will swept away the gloomy atmosphere of painstaking efforts. They are opposed to each other. As Huxley said, "they drive the ghosts out of the underworld and kill the angels", so the ancient The castle is set in a no-signal area, and the heroine in this episode must turn off her mobile phone to get ready before using a psychic medium.
S3Ep.1 THE DEVIL OF CHRISTMAS
The experimental addition of the drama and the second audience in the play makes this episode highly experimental and extremely intriguing. The application of elements about 9 is quite obscure. When reading the drama reviews, someone mentioned the concept of "Number 9 Book List". I think it is worth studying. In fact, it is not only the "No. 9 Book List", but also the "No. 9 Incident", "No. 9 Allusions", etc. The screenwriter has a superb talent for playing memes. Text, reality and screenwriters are in their The eyes are neatly combined in an astonishingly organized way.
S3Ep.2 THE BILL
It is a very genius attempt to change the "i" of nine to "!", we may be able to see the horror and subversion contained in the element of "9" ("nine"), so we attach great importance to "9" And research is by no means groundless. From this interesting swap, we may conclude that the emphasis on "9" should be added to "6" more or less. In the previous episodes, I have found a lot of use of the "6" element. Interested readers can summarize by themselves, and they will not be listed.
Regarding the time of school, the number in it is 8 not 9, which I thought was intriguing.
The ending made me burst out laughing hhh is that the charm of the drama? Fudan Drama Club also adapted this episode, but they didn't do it well at all.
S3Ep.3 THE RIDDLE OF SPHINX
The ingenious combination of Oedipus and Sphinx, I was overwhelmed by the wit of the screenwriter, storytellers rule the world, they have the full power to control the mind, and there is no doubt that the screenwriter proves with overwhelming power , words and language are ancient spells, storytellers are sexy, just like the black stockings the girl wears and her figure.
S3Ep.4 EMPTY ORCHESTRA
S3Ep.5 DIDDLE DIDDLE DUMPLING
The highly symbolic "black shoes" reflect the thirst for integrity of the mentally handicapped modern people, the strict and old-fashioned obsessive-compulsive disorder of British men, the mental crisis of unemployment and the lack of self-confidence of middle-aged and old men, and the British The obsession with the uncontrollable curiosity about mysterious things in the national character, the screenwriter's enthusiasm for "9" is a bit like the man's emotion for black shoes in the play, and it gradually infected me. (Of course, this is what I took for granted when I saw it halfway through. Well, after watching the entire episode, I found that I was crushed by the screenwriter’s intelligence, and the reversal made my guesses all become bullshit. In the end, it is a bit more reasonable to transform into the love of father and son and the idea of life and death. In short, the screenwriter is awesome!
S3Ep.6 PRIVATE VIEW
True horror. . . Although I'm not a fan of Granny, I'm just too explicit, and it's a bit embarrassing to be explicit, and the ending is easy to guess. . . Many of the art exhibitions I see are in the basement, and I am terrified to think about it. . .
If you're still interested in reading on, I've put together this -
