Last month, in the theme interview of "Film and Reality", Mr. Dai Jinhua spoke highly of "The Handmaid's Tale" with "The Nobel Prize owes Margaret Atwood a literary award". Occasionally heard about this American drama, but I was put off by the title, Handmaid? Christian themes again? Or forget it... After the lecture, I did a search, I Di Tian, The Handmaid's Tale (2017-2019) is actually a science fiction drama? ! ? I downloaded an episode to watch, and I smelled a little bit of the cold taste of "Skin" and "Ex Machina", which was a bit interesting. I finished three seasons in the second half of the month.
Although the whole play is a "fantasy" of the future, almost all the stories in it can be inextricably linked in the past and the present - exploring the nature and meaning of power, fundamentalist theocracy and autocratic dictatorship Patriarchy, Power and Hierarchy, Legislative Constitutional Amendment and Civil Rights, Discipline and Punishment, Women as Producers and Co-conspirators, Physical Resistance and Spiritual Rebellion, Political Diplomacy and Economic and Trade Games between Great Powers, Media Communication and Image Building ... I can see too many connotations in this play, and even very straightforward echoes of reality.
From the plot point of view, the first season is extremely good, the second season is the second, and the third season has already begun to be boring. Every time the heroine hesitates between breaking, She and Li is consuming the patience and patience of the audience. Energy; although an actor who can withstand close-ups is a good actor, frequently making Elisabeth Moss forcibly support close-ups is a bit too much to consume the meaning of the scene, and his bitter melon face expression will be very boring to see too much; There are not enough memories to make up the story. There are too many memories in the second and third seasons, which is obviously not interesting enough, even if it is skipped. At the end of the third season, the Archbishop Waterford and his wife were controlled by the Canadian side. The seriously injured heroine remained in the country of Gilead, and the suspense was left to the fourth season, but to shoot like the third season, I really No longer able to chew slowly.
