There are spoilers.
People who have watched a lot of French dramas know what level Ya is generally: No way! Generally speaking, the language level of the camera is relatively high, and the level of the story is three Germans' level worse than that of the British on the other side: shit is just a word. This drama is the first time I passed the suspense detective category, and there is five minutes of applause here, thank you.
First of all, I want to oppose the slow pace with my real name. I don't think so at all. . . . It happened to have a mystical background, so those long forest and stone cave shots were completely reasonable and necessary to set off, and they were shot with great taste. In fact, the progress of each episode of the investigation is not slow, and the structure is quite solid. From one to two, it is steady, the motive is reasonable, and it is slightly sentimental. Basically, the murderer can be understood at the moment of revealing the secret. Watching most American dramas, there is no sense of reality at all when the unit drama catches the murderer, and people never pursue that. British and French people prefer keep it real. Another excellent feature of the unit plot of this play is that the content is not repeated (look at the repetition of the detective Munch, I really feel that the screenwriter can write five seasons with one template), and it is closely related to the theme and inseparable. I've never seen a single episode + mainline mode that combines the two parts so tightly, it's almost like super glued together. How should I put it, it feels like it has opened a new mode, just like the protagonist is playing a game, go to each unit to play the copy set props, and after all the copies are enough, the props are enough to summon the dragon. . . .
Secondly, let’s talk about the most important feature of the show, which I think is quite novel: hippie fear + dark humor. The translation of zone blanche into the Blanche area is really an act of self-defeating. . The name has already established the atmosphere of mysticism and terror. The first two typical scenes are overwhelming: one is when the heroine discovers the female corpse, which almost makes you think it is the walking dead or the apocalypse theme? The purpose is to tell you that we have a weird background in this scene; the other is Mr. Bean (proc is too bean-like) allergy scene, which in my opinion has a decadent and cold humor, this is to tell you that you have Weird humor background.
These two elements run through and coordinate with each other, creating a very good atmosphere and improving visibility. For example, in the logging factory line, there is a very hippie daughter of the heroine at the beginning, but she is still an archer. The setting is almost in line with those teenage utopia themes. The disappearance case echoes the disappearance case of the mother and the girl. Everyone must get the sense of mystery first. Each unit drama also naturally fits the sense of mystery. Here, we will highlight the details of the scarecrow. The aesthetic taste of the horror section is absolutely praised; Mr. Bean and Brother Xiong have basically carried the banner of funny, and they are not completely funny. Bean is responsible for high-quality and high-IQ sneer, and Brother Xiong is responsible for contrasting cute and warm smiles. What more can a husband want? BTW Bean's character is very pleasing because of its incompatibility and high IQ, and it should be easy to like it!
In the end, I hate the heroine with my real name. This can only be said of personal taste. Europeans like female protagonists very much. They think she is strong, resilient, and emotional. She is also a model of modern women, especially in France, the old home of the left, but I hate it very much. I think her character is simply a bug. The same paradox is inexplicable: why Tough fainted and cried to death at every turn, to the extent that he collapsed every episode, when a normal person has this level of mood swings, it takes less than three months to go to the hospital. I think it is the French who are too virginal, and feel that everything is dehumanized, and the tough heroine must faint and cry. In other respects, the heroine's stubbornness and loneliness are understandable. She has always been afraid of PTSD, and naturally self-isolated for a long time.
Finally, let's talk about the topic. The entire series is painstaking and consistent in expressing the demagogic appearance of the forest.
For example, there are crows at the key point of every bad thing, the female nurse has her eyes eaten by the crows, the "Scarecrow" always has crows parked, there are also crows on the tattooed man's car, and the crows parked on the tree trunk where the girl died, forming the gate of death, It is the cemetery of human destruction of the earth, and the cemetery of all animals and good people in the literal sense, not to mention that the crow line also hides the big reversal. In fact, people's dislike of crows is equal to people's dislike of forests: bad things are not done by them, and they will be resented just because they have witnessed bad things. It can be said that the true relationship between man and nature is depicted in a long and delicate manner.
Wild animals such as crows and wolves symbolize the mysterious and primitive power of the forest. In addition, another sneer mentions that the local "machines" are not very useful. This is also a metaphor of primitive magic over modern industry, giving the forest its power. Added buff. I read a lot of short reviews and think that there are two main lines, one is the lumber mill, and the other is the case of the missing girl, but in fact, there is only one main task at the end, which is to gradually discover this very hippie theme: the no-discussion zone is the end of man and nature From the point of view of the gods, there is a forest god. The primordial power is higher than the scientific power. People who live here can easily be inspired by the primordial power. It doesn't help, there is no good or evil in the forest (nature). However, the screenwriter is definitely hippie, and obviously deliberately exaggerated the forest's goodwill, the power of the original force, and the omniscience. God assisted the heroine throughout the whole process, and was misunderstood and abused by the heroine. I feel sorry for the forest god. . .
This theme itself has a strong metaphor, just like the story of the magician in each unit story can be viewed from a scientific perspective or from a mysterious perspective, both perspectives can explain the ins and outs. To a certain extent, it also shows that perhaps both perspectives are just a view of the unknown world. This is a relatively advanced point of view, but it is still a bit of a stickman on the whole. I have absolutely no resistance to mysticism, and it is so beautifully shot that I will accept all the photos.
The only thing I don't like is the details. Many places can't stand complaints. It feels like it was made up for the sake of drama. (Because each small story is deliberately close to the theme by the screenwriter, closely surrounding the central idea)
For example, the explanation for the disappearance of the paralyzed brother at night in the first episode is completely messy. The setting of the old lady dragging him out of the ground is fine, I accept it, everyone is weird anyway, but she must be very skilled to do it every day, okay? ? Would a mother who took such good care of her son wipe him clean before putting it back? Besides, the first time the hostess and her party met the paralyzed brother, he was completely clean. Could it be that his mother only dragged her son out when he was investigating the case? In addition, even if the grounding air sticks to the soil, it should be soiled on the back. He won't leave, and it has nothing to do with his hands and feet. Could it be that the old lady deliberately wiped his hands and feet on the ground, right? It's not enough to think that your son has been wronged, right?
The plot of the heroine cutting her fingers, the wrist is stuck, and the stuck place should be the slap part. The idea of cutting the fingers is a little confusing. I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's feasible. Maybe a lot of blood acts as a lubricant, but the thickest part of the slap is Still, how did she get out? Doubtful.
The episode of losing the child at the waterfall is even more magical. Before the child was lost, the baby was crying all the time. According to the storyline, it was actually crying in the backpack. Before and after the child was thrown out, the cry would definitely stop and the whereabouts would suddenly stop. The child in the bag was completely disguised. out of this process. Therefore, a better beat method is to emphasize that the waterfall is particularly loud, and do not let out the baby's cry from the beginning, indicating that the sound is covered. Otherwise, viewers will feel that the screenwriter is deliberately and forcibly misleading for the sake of reversal.
There are a lot of similar details, which in my opinion is a big bug in this show. So deduct one star.
I really like it overall, it's not easy to see a new product with a unique taste in the market.
