Vienna, 1906.
The Gilded Age of Austria-Hungary, a haven for scholars, is also a good place to hide crime in this capital, which combines ancient and modern resources. Just as the lush woods hide mysterious birds, the sparkling river waters hide undercurrents under the calm appearance. The city strives to hide dark forces.
The case began, "Vienna is a city obessed by titles. In London, I was Max, just Max, in Vienna, I am Dr Maximilian Liebermann, physician, neurologist… and Englishman. Of course, they don't let you forget it. "In fact, Vienna kept reminding him to remember not only his British doctor status, but also "Jews", "junior doctors", "powerless" and "outsiders", and he was reluctant to use marriage as a shortcut to climb up, He also hates to flatter a senior professor and his boss to gain a more certain future, but hopes to make his favorite friends and maintain the fairness and justice of the city with the spirit of pursuit of truth as a scientific worker.
In fact, the technique used by the little doctor is not only Professor Freud's "psychopathology of daily life", as the professor once said in the lecture, it is only the observation and examination as an observer - more There are forensic identification, deductive reasoning and other methods that modern cases also rely on.
The male protagonist, Dr. Max Liebermann, and the second male protagonist, Inspector Oskar Reinhardt (seriously, this second male protagonist is too weak, he has no ability or strength, and he is even more stupid next to Liebermann, and he can only be considered a male. There is still a lot of room for improvement between the awkward cooperation of 2) and the British Tucao... However, the male protagonist's British voice is super nice! Although her fiancee Clara is beautiful, humorous and brave, she still lacks wisdom and a common language with the male protagonist compared to Lydgate, a scholar who works in the museum. If they are together, they may not be happy, although her family can bring He backs the mountain. In general, all the actors and actresses in the play have excellent acting skills, the dialogue is elegant and concise, the costumes are also beautiful, and the scene arrangement and shooting tone are also of the superior standard of modern British costume dramas. This drama is still very good.
As British dramas often do, each episode is a self-contained story - the disappearing bullet, the psychic, the psychological trauma of the painter's childhood, the power struggle between the steel merchant and the mayor, the stumble of a brothel girl, and the life of a homeless man. Pity and the bullying of the boys in the military academy are all materials that can bring the charm of a reasoning drama, but the screenwriter's connection may have more layers and more distracting clues (after all, it is boring for the audience to guess the murderer before the case is closed. Right?), the use of background music should also be more abundant (as in the next door "Inspector Morse", the music in the mind of the opera-loving Morse echoes with the grand effect of reality).
What I also want to complain about is that if Freud's theory of dream interpretation and sexual drive is absurd, when psychoanalysis has become a part of the history of psychology worthy of criticism; Hermeneutics lacking falsifiability can neither exist as a scientific method nor bring about empirical advances in epistemology, making it still seem like nonsense; when cognitive brain science lacks philosophical reflection as metaphysics, in phenomenal When the world is increasingly addicted, is there no better way to treat mental illness than electric shocks and drugs? Do such violent means really save people or do they hurt more deeply?
Life is like a play and a dream. For the grasp of opportunities and life, the ancients once made similar but helpless sighs - whether it is "the birth year is less than a hundred, and there is always a thousand years of worry. The days are short and the nights are long, why not walk with candles." Or "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero .(Take off today, don't let tomorrow deceive)". At the end of the third episode of the story, the detective said to the little doctor: "We have so little time, Max, if you have any chance at happiness, you should grab it with both hands. Don't let the world hold you back. If you love her, whoever she is...you should be with her." The specialty of British dramas - rigorous and restrained emotions and single-minded feelings - no matter how many times they appear, they should still be stored in the most tender and precious heart place.
The whole show is over, the detective has no hope of promotion, the doctor also broke off the engagement with his fiancée, and was even kicked out of the hospital, unable to go back... But this is the beginning of more stories between the doctor and the detective, and I look forward to the development of the next few seasons. Even if the story does not take place in the golden age of the United Kingdom, it is not so typical, with German accents and cowardly love interspersed, but as a three-episode British drama with two male protagonists, the Vienna Massacre can actually be done better.
