Episode 1
I noticed two strange points, one is that ian needs to come out to achieve revenge, and the other is that the three characters of li, mark and liz.
Ian comes out of the closet and separates from the others. One person is needed, mark, mark orders Ian to come out of the closet. This part of the plot is abrupt and strange. It can be seen that the screenwriter came up with this plot to let ian go out. From this, it can be seen that the screenwriter first came up with the sardine game before conceiving the final revenge. And the sardine game icebreaker is a family game for a family led by Andrew, a child abuser. Along with the sardine game, the screenwriter constructs the aggressor anderw, the accomplice geraldine, and the victim carl, jhon, ian, and rebbeca, the unsaved person, starting from the violation of children.
If that's where the story starts, then why do you need so many characters that have nothing to do with this, Jeremy, rachel, lee, mark, liz, Stuart. The character Jeremy is actually quite impersonal. His role is almost to connect the story of rebbeca and rachel, and finally point out that the boring person is not the reverse effect of ian. Compared with rachel, stuart is two characters with a lot of ink.
Li is a very strange character in this story, he is young and frank and has no story. He makes an early appearance, and the third one just walks around suggesting that the room is weird, a tool of Stuart's anger at Carl, a guy who sees geraldine as a waiter. There is a reason for the existence of the role of Li. Anyone who appears for the first time does not need to be Li.
Lee's story on geraldine "Why he keeps telling me to do things". Repeating geraldine's story line again, the old woman gave rachel a hard blow at the beginning "is that why you dare not touch the snake?" She had found someone hiding in the closet before and heard them talking , and what did rebbeca say. Say geraldine thinks she's a guest. As soon as the old lady entered the closet, she started scolding about rachel, "I knew there were some things I shouldn't mention." After saying this, she turned her head and glanced at rebbaca with a smile, and then began to deliberately mention the party. (the sexual assault incident), rebbeca told her to stop talking. She began to sing "ding dong, wedding bells, only ring for other girl." The camera slid to rebbeca's face with these two lyrics. Rebbeca tried to grab Carl's hand, and Carl quickly retracted his hand, and the camera shot to Carl's face.
Here is rebbeca trying to find carl for help and was rejected, and here is also the joint appearance of carl saying that she never found her own words in Christmas to prove that rebbeca knew about the violation and did not help. But the first time I watched it, I thought it had something to do with Carl. Rebbeca tried to comfort Carl. The camera stopped on Carl's face for too long. Fortunately, after Stuart came back from the toilet after the song, rebbeca said "thank you geraldine, it is fun." At this time, the camera can see her frowning in extreme pain, which made me sure that this song is geraldine scolding rebbeca!
Going back to geraldine again, the important thing after her is that she was also the last to speak out about Boy Scouts, there was a kid allegation. Look at this character again, know a lot of secrets, and try to gain status through those secrets. Her laughing sarcasm at rebbeca shows that the character is ruthless and bad.
When Li appeared on the stage and asked Geraldine for wine, Geraldine already knew that rebbeca told others that he was the supply of wine. Li's request for wine is just icing on the cake, so it's more likely that Li's character was prepared for the breakout between Stuart and Carl in the first place. Why is it important for them to go out? Let's see what happened next. Ian was ordered out of the closet by Mark. If there is no example from Stuart above, it would be too abrupt for ian to come out. Imagine, suddenly someone went out. What happened? In order to make this plot less abrupt, they designed the role of Liz, her biggest role is to complain that the place is too crowded, so Mark will order ian to go out.
In general, the three characters mark, liz and lee are all designed to serve ian's quiet exit.
Remove these three characters that have nothing to do with sexual assault, and only Stuart, rachel and Jeremy are left. Stuart and carl's entanglement is to highlight the serious impact on the child after being violated, and the character of stink jhon is completely to liven up the atmosphere.
Pay attention to the climax of the whole story, the revelation of the truth of the past, rebbeca first said "You still love her, right" and got no negative answer, then squeezed in and said "We used to like playing sardines, right, Dad." Then anderw Start revisiting old songs.
rachel's story is why rebbeca said that. That's why rachel's story exists.
In general, the screenwriter first conceived a sardine game about the sexual assault incident, in order to achieve the audience's feeling of "woc, the reason why they were so strange before was sexual assault" and created a storyline and several characters. The plot of the story is basically to guide the characters to appear and reach the final climax. The details of the character's speech and actions are to highlight the character's character and imply what is concealed.
