It is undeniable that most of the American dramas, the first season, are not too bad; this drama, the first season, is exquisite. At least, we can see that it is telling us every story with heart.
Throughout the first season, it has a fixed pattern-Jennifer Love Hewitt (Jennifer Love Hewitt) played the absolute protagonist Melinda Gordon (Melinda Gordon), in the beginning, sometimes Mei In Linda’s dreams, sometimes it’s her hallucinations, or she just uses her vision as a lens, first scaring us with a few horrible lenses; then, everything in the lens is sunny the next day In the early morning, the previous haze was wiped out, and Melinda was walking on the way to the antique shop, buying a cup of coffee or latte, gorgeous and charming.
Then, Melinda will search the Internet for some clues, and gradually find out the identity of the visiting ghost during his lifetime, find out why it still stays in the world and is unwilling to be overwhelmed, and then help the ghost fulfill its unfulfilled wish, and then the ghost will leave. Enter into the light that represents eternal happiness, peace, joy and serenity, and be transcended to where it should go.
There will be some very difficult obstacles in the process, such as how to communicate with the ghost’s family, how to make them believe what they say, how to make them understand their talents... But Melinda relies on her talent, kindness, With enthusiasm and sense of mission, she was brave and satisfactorily fulfilled the responsibilities that her talent brought to her. And to tell us a touching story, many times, we will unconsciously cry for every story it tells.
David Conrad plays Melinda's nearly perfect husband, Jim Clancy, in this series. At the end of each episode, it will return to peace again, pulling us from the treacherous situation and the crying compassion back to our ordinary daily life. Melinda has been lying quietly beside Jim. , Enjoying the most comfortable happiness of an ordinary woman; if it is normal, we may not be rare such so-called happiness, but after experiencing all that with Melinda, we will quietly quietly with a grateful mood. Sigh-perhaps the dullest daily life is the quietest happiness.
This is the unique charm of this series-at the beginning we would think that this is a horror series; after watching it, we will discover that in fact it is under the guise of a horror film, but blindly blindly. Ground love, blindly stimulating our lacrimal nerves, blindly digging out our sad and compassionate heart... The most unique thing about this show is that it has a lot of crying points. As long as we are not careful, we always Will be moved by the story it tells.
The emotional line development of each episode is basically the same-first intimidate, then discover the truth, then try to touch us, and then return to the ordinary, and finally let us look at the most ordinary life scenes with a grateful mind, so We have somewhat of a sense of happiness.
Gradually, we will fall in love with Melinda, a happy little woman who has an unusual talent, changes a few sets of extremely gorgeous clothes every day, and experiences all kinds of unimaginable thrills, kind, brave, and somewhat stubborn. There is a career in reality, and another career with his own hobbies and spirit of sublimation. At the same time, there is also a meticulous and considerate husband, and there is a happy little woman who knows her and believes in her close friends. It's rare to be born as a woman, to have so many things at the same time, and to make people not jealous. In other words, it is very difficult to portray such a character; however, this one actually did it.
If you say that this series is a major drama built by ABC, I might not doubt it at all; at least I still felt that way in the first season. Of course, if you look carefully, the investment in this drama will not be a lot; however, we can see all the meticulous and orderly everything done by the entire crew.
Take clothing as an example. The costumes of the first season are really amazing. In each episode, Melinda has four or five sets of unique and different styles with personalized accessories; at least there are three or two sets. Each set is amazing. If it is not a sincere work, it would take so much thought; unfortunately, this view began to be confirmed in the next few seasons.
And the seemingly fragmented and disorderly plot eventually has a lurking main thread running through it, which allows this drama to complete the breakthrough of one plus one greater than two. This is the sincerity of the screenwriter. In addition, for actors, whether it is the protagonist Jennifer and David, or the supporting role Aisha Tyler (Aisha Tyler), they have outstanding performances.
It can be said that this series, in the first season, should be regarded as a small investment but high-quality work.
The second season of "Ghost Whisperer" has actually begun to decline; even if it still continues everything from the first season, however, the feeling of decline is so clear and obvious. It’s not clear why, maybe it’s because the nerves used to move and grieve have become cold and tired, or because those stories have become more and more difficult to touch all the compassionate emotions in our hearts, or just just Because of simple aesthetic fatigue...Anyway, I feel less and less feeling about this show; or, because I am becoming more and more insensitive.
In the second season, there are not many episodes that still impress me. In the third season, I even completely forgot. The fourth season, because I just finished watching it, I still have some impressions—before Jim died.
When Jim was still alive, this drama could have a better buffer zone, so that it would not make us feel a sense of aesthetic fatigue so quickly. As soon as Jim died, aesthetic fatigue appeared immediately. But it’s okay. Suddenly, Jim becomes Sam. His soul enters the body of another man, Sam, who is dead because he doesn’t want to leave Melinda. This drama has become maddening. .
Melinda, who had a perfect image, became more and more stubborn and unacceptable; when she was by Sam's side, when she knew that Sam was her husband, another reincarnated inner body, she didn't dare to show it. Just staying close by his side and taking him on the road of their love again, Melinda's image has become boring, even disgusting.
This is an extremely selfish and domineering desire to possess, even if she had persuaded Jim to go beyond the time and enter the light; however, Jim did not listen to her, but entered Sam's body and resurrected. Jim has amnesia, and there is no memory about them, including Sam's own memory; Melinda actually tried to recall Jim's memory-such an emotion, intellectually, I may still be able to accept it, after all, love is deep. Call it cut; but emotionally, I can't accept it at all.
Facing a strange face, and then restore his share of love that should have passed away. Such an emotion seems to be very sick. What's more, when she handled her emotions in this way, what she had done before, the kind of persuading others to be overwhelmed by ghosts, but unguardedly accepting the contrast of the return of her husband's ghost, made all the work of the previous seasons seem to have been done. No longer has any persuasive power.
There are still a few sets of costumes in one episode, but there are no more diverse styles anymore; the actors are still those actors, but the sincerity of the diligent work is no longer seen at the beginning, replaced by a superficial and no texture. It can be expressed in a plane; the screenwriter, is it still the original screenwriter, it is Jiang Yun who has been exhausted, or has changed a few groups of people; and the development of the emotional line has not moved me at all, no matter its lyricism Weakness, or my tear ducts are dry.
Everything shows a general downward trend; seeing the fourth season, I suddenly felt that what this show did in the next few seasons was just sitting and eating the front mountain, until the front mountain was completely digged out. Free until now.
Sometimes I wonder, when next year, when its fifth season arrives, will I still have the confidence to sit here and reluctantly eat it and swallow it. In other words, if this series is filmed like this, does it have any meaning?
I originally liked this drama, in the first season; at least it once moved me to tears, and I kept sighing and saying-this is really an American drama with tears everywhere. And now, maybe everything is the same, but the entire crew seems to have dropped a few levels; maybe, just because the experience of watching movies over the years has improved my taste, and I can no longer applaud anything easily. All in all, the overall feeling is that what the Four Seasons "Ghost Whisperer" does is just sit and eat the sky; when it has completely eaten the hill it built before, where will it go.
In the next season, maybe I won't watch it so hard anymore. Perhaps, as a netizen said-a series of such a theme, a series of such an emotional route, aesthetic fatigue will come sooner or later. But this is the second best thing. The problem is that although Melinda is seductive, but when I have a feeling of disgust and disgust towards this role, the seductive woman is only left with a pile of skins.
