Brenda Leigh Johnson is different, not only because she is a rare red-flowered protagonist in a vast crime drama, but also because of her ruthlessness and unscrupulousness. Just like Mason - although their methods are not so upright and even insidious and cunning, fortunately they have principles and integrity, they are still so-called good people in the secular sense. Such happiness is often accompanied by fear: what if one day they are no longer like this? What if one day their principles slanted a little? If there is such a day, they are absolutely smart to do worse than the bad guys. Fortunately, the world has a large population. If this hero falls, most others will stand up. It's just that at that time, no one paid attention to the stories behind the bad guys anymore. They are no longer the protagonists.
Why did Brenda form such a case-handling method? What she is best at is disguising herself as a naive blond and brainless girl, attacking from side to side, deceiving and coaxing, calmly, and pressing step by step. I think that's because the protagonists of csi and bones are not actually the main object of research. Their most important thing is evidence, dead body and bones. These things don't speak or move. They don't lie. Brenda was different, she was dealing with people every day. People can lie, cheat, hide, and get angry. In order to get the facts from these people, Brenda had to lie, cheat, hide, and get angry. As her FBI boyfriend said, she just wanted to say what other people wanted to hear, almost an "occupational disease". (Although I don't think it's an "occupational disease" to lie to parents in different places... In order not to worry them, in order to have less trouble, will they have a similar experience more or less?) Old G and Temprence are at best freaks , Brenda is a liar.
Fortunately, Brenda is steadfast. There are quite a few dilemmas in this play. In one case, the younger brother killed the older brother many years ago, but now he has repented, and has achieved great results with the goal of doing good deeds and promoting the improvement of the local black community. The arrest of such a person has caused the elderly mother to lose her last son, and the reform process has been reversed, and almost no one has benefited. But Brenda didn't hesitate in the slightest. As she has pointed out countless times, her job is to arrest the murderer, and only the murderer. I specifically brought up this case because I remembered that there were similar cases in ancient times. The local officials let the murderer go lightly because he still needed to support his nursing mother, and the elder brother behaved badly, and the younger brother was always kind and loyal. The differences between Chinese and Western cultures can also be seen here. We are human and human relations are greater than the harsh punishment of the criminal law, and they are as meticulous as machines. Here, it is Brenda herself who is meticulous. The young black sergeant under her had a lot of opinions and walked away in anger.
If you haven't seen this movie, will you think Brenda is a policewoman? Indeed, she has a brilliant resume, State Department, CIA special agent, Atlanta Police Department officer, LAPD major crime team head, deputy bureau rank. A 40-year-old woman wants to climb to such a position in a police station dominated by men, and she can still convince the many local police officers who have climbed up step by step. How could she not have some means? But it would be wrong to just know her that way, and Brenda is more than that.
She is very principled about crime, but she is extremely protective of her shortcomings; she does everything she can when she asks a case, but she has no choice but to lie or delay in the face of her father, mother and boyfriend. Sharp to the point of the blood, but taboo against medical treatment, addicted to sweets. She is good at making use of external resources. She pretends not to say anything during the trial. She usually makes rounds with her boss who had had a habitual affair with her many years ago. The FBI boyfriend was ridiculed by colleagues for helping her too much. Mr. Johnson. When she delayed cohabitation because she was afraid that her boyfriend might hate her, concealed the fact of cohabitation because she was afraid of possible censure from her parents, and held the letter from her father with a stomachache and headache, it was really kind. She still has the little girl part about her. Not to mention, although she is a high-level police officer, she has never seen her wear a police uniform for three seasons, but she is more fancy than the protagonists of many romance dramas. (Her superiors and officials at the same level often wear them. Is it a special treatment for women?) She is a master inquisitor and a cute little woman.
Because this series has created such a distinctive image of the protagonist and portrayed so many difficult choices, it is certainly worth watching.
As an aside, let’s talk about Chinese supporting roles in American dramas. There were so few people they could find... almost all of them were familiar faces. Anyway, you can't understand the same, so let them speak Cantonese, Hokkien? Don't spit out Mandarin word by word, listening to their jerky lines is really torture. And to be honest, he doesn't look like a mainlander...
