After these two times, I like this drama more and I feel a lot of emotion. It is not just a black comedy. You can read a lot from the screenwriter’s ideas.
Characters
We all know that prison is a small world of its own, so you will meet all kinds of people, they have completely different backgrounds, they have committed different crimes, maybe they just made a small mistake Decided without luck, as the prison guard girl said, we are no different, the only difference is that I was not caught when I made a mistake.
The characters created by the screenwriters here are all kinds. Although some characters have not had time to explain their background, this season is over (such as red lips, such as crazy eyes, etc.), but they all know how to survive in prison and make life outside of prison. Set aside, everyone must start again here. This is just as Piper told Lerry on the phone, my life has started anew.
In addition to prisoners, the figures of several prison administrators are also quite lively. Huang Hu, Little Benette, Fish, Joe, female assistants, and of course Healy, who makes people hateful, seems to be compared to the prisoners in prison. They feel more annoying. They play with the power in their hands and find ways to get the benefits they want from prison. In their eyes, they are just Inmates, not a group of people with flesh and blood. (Except for the little policewoman who just arrived) And they won't be punished, because they are the one holding the key, and the key is power. It is difficult for
human nature
to define exactly what kind of drama this is. The comedy is full of tragedy, but it is not a tragedy. There are some scenes that make people laugh together (such as crazy-eyed singing), and some are very sad, such as the death of Tricia. There are also sections that are very warm, such as the friendship between Taystee and Poussey, such as everyone coming to commemorate Tricia, too much. You can see that each of them has the good and evil in human nature. Although some of them seem particularly unreasonable (Goddess), after answering that sentence, no matter how bad people are, there are good sides.
A scene that was deeply impressed was Piper’s lesson to the bad-school children. The most frightening part of the prison is that you can’t escape, you can’t avoid it. You can only face yourself, and you can be a person outside the prison. Different people, but here, you can only face yourself, a true self, and slowly discover what kind of person you are. So here, the human nature will be revealed little by little, and the real side will gradually eat away at the self outside the prison, and in the end you will find that you can’t tell which is the real self. How many people in
love
are heartbroken for Piper and Alex. (Beating the wall and stomping the ground) Let's talk about this one first, not to mention how the second season develops. This is not a Les play, not The L Word, but it is still dedicated to these two by most fans.
It's difficult to simply say that this is true love. Piper's final choice is a "normal" relationship. She doesn't want to take risks anymore. She wants to be safe. But what was gained was abandonment, and the love in and out of prison was lost. Who does she love? Love both? Piper's brother Cal said something very right to Lerry, She is what she is. And Lerry hopes she can be certain. And this is the problem. Some people just don't know who they love or what they want. Although they have made a choice, it is just a decision and not necessarily her true thoughts.
And Lerry, this fiancé, he loved P rightly. For her to hide the fact that Alex betrayed her, he only did one thing wrong, that is, he shouldn’t blindly think that P’s life in prison is not part of his life. Trying to bring her back to the normal track during this period of time, she always felt that she was the only one who was hurt. He didn't know that from the moment P went to jail, her life started anew.
Besides, Alex, in the days when Piper left her, the relationship couldn't be blank. For example, the girl who hugged her during the visit. And when she met Piper again, as she said, she still hoped that Piper would like her again. Undoubtedly, she also hated her because of her departure, because her departure was when she was most vulnerable. Until Piper left, Alex still loved her. This was not a breakup, but abandonment, so in the end Alex also said a lot of decisive words, because she didn't want to bear the feeling of being abandoned again.
plot
In addition to the protagonist plot, in fact, the plots of various supporting actors are very good, such as the plot of the prison boss Red, the bitter story of the transgender Sophia, the love line of prison guard Benette and Daya, the life experience of Tricia, the story of track and field players, etc. The lines are very flavorful, and this is bound to be a big highlight in the new season. Because there are still many characters that fans are interested in without background introduction.
In this episode, the screenwriter planted several flashpoints, and these flashpoints connected Piper's transformation in prison. Several of the scenes were particularly impactful. The first was Piper's scream when he met Alex, which was her helplessness when she first went to prison. Her quarrel with Ms. Claude was her first tough conversation. The conversation between the two people in the washing machine and her vent was the beginning of her transformation. After being detained by SHU, he scolded Healy, which was a complete emotional liberation. At the end, I had a showdown with Alex in the laundry room, and at the end I beat the goddess on the ground. Exhausted once at the peak of emotional accumulation. Like a roller coaster, it climbed to the highest point little by little, and then rushed to the end like crazy. It sounds like a complete SEX, but the mood of the audience is that it is not enough and needs to do it again. (An expression that hasn't been abused enough)
In short, this is a drama with a five-star evaluation. Dear, you deserve to have it, please download it!
