Author: Attack on the Red Hair
The film and television of literary works has always been an operation that the producer loves and hates.
The original book already has a book fan base, and the reference script is right in front of you. The filming was good, the book fans turned into movie fans, and the producer received both fame and fortune. The original author welcomed the "Second Spring", and everyone was happy; but the adaptation was not good, and the reputation of Waterloo was a big loss. The producer and the main creator of the film are still very May become the guilty person whom Qianfu refers to.
Netflix, which has always been nicknamed "Dad" by netizens because of its wealth and wealth, has relied on its solid wealth to buy copyrights of works worldwide, and various remakes and adaptations have sprung up. Among Netflix's long-term co-authors is Harlan Cobain, an American mystery novelist . Since reaching a cooperation with Netflix in 18 years, his works have been frequently filmed.
Although the first three adaptations of the series have received mediocre response in China, after running-in, Netflix finally made a turnaround with the fourth work, presenting a well-known drama with a burst of word-of-mouth and thousands of times to the global audience.
That's right, I'm talking about the Spanish suspense drama series- "The Best of Innocence" , which has been screened in the circle of friends of movie fans during the May 1st holiday and has a high reputation .
Speaking of the original author Harlan Cobain, he was the first master to win all three world mystery awards including the Allan Poe Award, the Anthony Award and the Shams Award . Even Dan Brown , the original author of the famous suspense film "The Da Vinci Code" , regarded him as Bole.
The master's work has been translated into more than 20 languages and published all over the world, and the overseas sales are more than that of his home country, and book fans are spread all over the world. Yes, in the suspense novels you secretly read in high school classrooms, there is a good chance that there are his works.
Regarding the adaptation of Cobain’s work, Netflix has cleverly grasped this point-the four adaptations currently broadcast, the cooperative teams are from Poland, France, the United Kingdom and Spain, and the background setting is basically far away from the author’s The hometown of America is in sharp contrast with the adaptation of Stephen King's work.
In this fourth "Innocent Most", Netflix even invited the Spanish director Auriol Paul who has made domestic movie fans familiar with works such as "The Invisible Guest" and "The Mirage" .
This time he not only cooperated with his old partner Mario Casas (the male lead of "The Invisible Guest"), but also moved the background of the story from New Jersey, USA to the suspenseful hometown of the director, Barcelona, which is most familiar to the director .
The story starts from the past of the male protagonist Matt :
A few years ago, Matt attended a prestigious school. He had a bright future, but he accidentally killed the opponent in a bar fight and was sentenced to several years in prison.
Not tortured in prison, said prison during Matt, his parents also died in a car accident, only family left with open law firms brother Yi Sima .
After he was released from prison, he joined his brother's law firm and his career started to go uphill. However, my brother died a few years later because of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
Fortunately, there is Olivia in his life . The two met for the first time and fell in love at first sight. Although Matt missed the date with Olivia, the reunion a few years later made them understand what is meant to be doomed.
Now, Matt takes over the law firm where his brother was alive, and Olivia is also pregnant and will be a mother. The two are looking for a new house and look forward to their family of three.
However, when Olivia was supposed to go on a business trip to Germany, Matt received a picture from his wife’s mobile phone: a selfie of a strange man...
On the other side, when the female police detective Lorena was investigating a suicide case of the nun Emma , she felt suspicious: suicide is a religious precept. How could Emma, a nun suddenly commit suicide by jumping off the building? There are also various mysteries hidden behind the tattoos on Emma and the fake identity she has been using.
Just as Lorena tried to crack them one by one, the crime team suddenly issued an order-to suspend the investigation!
But this made her want to speed up the investigation: Why did the death of a nun cause such a big reaction from the superior?
After some investigation, Lorena discovered that an unfamiliar number had entered the monastery two days ago. This number came from Matt's brother's house, and that day, only Matt was home.
The two seemingly unrelated mysteries intersect each other by mistake, and with the deep digging of the past of different characters at the beginning of each episode, a shocking mystery from many years ago has gradually surfaced...
If the essence of the suspense drama lies in secrets and conspiracies, then the sublimation of "The Best of Innocence" lies in:
If the secrets that everyone cannot tell are linked together, clues can be woven into a net of heaven and earth. Matt has been in contact with the mother of the young man who was killed by him since he was released from prison, and he even called him his mother;
And in prison, the death of a bully, he is also suspected of not being able to escape;
His wife Olivia is from Mexico, but the information shows that she passed away many years ago;
Emma, the dead nun, was a dancer and prostitute before becoming a nun, and the girlfriend of a nightclub gang boss. And the gang boss, who is his boyfriend, has done a lot of unknown deeds with the powerful class...
At this point in the plot, it is inconvenient to make any more spoilers, so as not to affect the viewing experience of everyone who has not yet followed the drama.
Although the appearance of various characters in the first two episodes may be a little confusing, once you adapt, the plot and viewing experience will gradually improve. Moreover, inheriting the infinite reversal in "The Invisible Guest", "The Most Sinful" can also be said to be reversed from beginning to end, and each episode has surprises (scares).
However, mystery and reversal are not the only highlights of this drama. Compared with some of the previous works of Netflix that promoted women's power, which was a little "propositional composition", the female group portraits portrayed in "The Most Sinful" really showed us. An ode to a female force who rejects moral abductions such as "Being a Mother".
From the original work to the drama series, the male characters are basically reduced to tool people, while the female characters are portrayed as flesh and blood:
The nun Emma who committed suicide, although she was born in the dark world and even had some unscrupulous behaviors even after she became a nun, she has always dared to fight against the evil forces, and she also possesses a woman who pulls helpless women out of the quagmire. Kind heart. Although she died when she appeared on the scene, through digging into her past, the director showed us her strength, guardianship to friends, and loyalty to keep secrets until death.
Female police detective Lorena, because she witnessed the suicide of her police father in her childhood, she chose her father’s career as an adult. This is not only to follow justice, but also to grasp the only remaining connection with the dead father, and to heal the pain of a lifetime caused by the original family.
She is almost the incarnation of justice in the play-dare to fight, dare to pay for the correctness and justice that she agrees with in her heart, and never stagnate because of fear and pressure. It is precisely because of her perseverance and hard work that everyone can get justice, and no one is injustice. Although she herself left her partner because of this career, isolated herself, sacrificed the ego, and accomplished what all male police officers in the play could not do.
Another impressive female character is the mother Sonia whose son was accidentally killed by the male protagonist .
This role is both distressing and great. The death of her own flesh and blood made her suffer, but when she saw Matt who accidentally killed her son, she thought: If my son killed someone now, sitting on the chair in the prison room facing me What would I think before?
Despite all the hatred and unwillingness, sympathy and redemption still prevail. Although sometimes the pain of losing a child made her fantasize about Matt as her own son, but as the two got along, a real trust was established between them, and even when he was in deep crisis, Sonia did not know what to do. Support without doubt.
She gave Matt a chance of redemption and also a chance of rebirth.
In addition to the above three, there are many female characters in "The Most Guilty" worthy of discussion. Although these female characters are not perfect, they have their own selfish desires or shortcomings that ordinary people cannot understand, but this does not prevent us from seeing that they from different professions and different classes have women who are good for love, brave for love, and strong for love. Brilliance, whether it is loving yourself or loving others. The stories of such a group of women are connected to each other. Compared with the reversals and mysteries in the plot, the brilliant portraits of women are the biggest attraction of this play for me.
"The hell is empty and the devil is in the world." But by supporting each other after they die, they can defeat the devil, escape from the hell, and look at each other to regain a new life.
