It turns out that the same account can write more than one comment on the same work. Like it.
This drama is the latest gay masterpiece of the famous British gay screenwriter Russel T Davis. This person's works are basically like thunder. In addition to the gay and mortal British version, which is a must-see for gay entry, there is also the British version of Journey to the West, Dr. Who (screenwriter from 2005-10)
All gay characters in this show are played by gay actors. When asked why RTD made this choice, are you not afraid that these actors will be restricted from playing straight roles? RTD says that almost all gays spend a lot of their lives pretending to be straight and don't think they will have any problems playing straight! It seems logically reasonable.
To be honest, the last time I saw his gay-related work was Cucumber, which described the trivial life and mid-life crisis of some gays living in Manchester, not very good. Maybe the protagonist is not good enough. Ha ha. I read the introduction of It's A Sin a while ago, and I wasn't very excited. After all, there are Pearls such as Normal Heart and the Philadelphia Patient.
I watched it for the first time, because Olly Alexander, the lead singer of Years and Years, has my saliva. This is his second cross-border acting since Skins. Looking at the energy of his MV, and the fit with the male protagonist's experience, it should have a wonderful performance.
Plus it's a fucking auntie Keeley Hawes, whom I've loved since the Dreyers, and Neil Patrick Harris, the meanest person in How I Met Your Mother, and I'm naturally curious.
So I watched all 5 episodes for the first time.
Giving up countless times in the middle, especially the third and fifth episodes, was too tear-jerking.
I won't go into details about the specific plot, and it's definitely not as good as what professional film critics say. I'll talk about a few experiences that gave me the most goosebumps.
"LA!!!!" Ritchie's queen appeared on stage, everyone thought he was going to have an exciting performance, but it was a simple sentence, but it was powerful, La!! Since then, it has become a daily routine among these friends. Greeting, parting, good night and goodbye are all represented by la. Kind of weird, but it seems reasonable.
Before each other, sisters match each other, whether you are attacking, receiving or vers, they will give you a girl's name. Reminds me of how we always used the first two words of our three-letter name to refer to each other in the university dormitory.
What unites all the people in the film is a rotten girl, Jill. What's even more surprising is that other characters are fictional, but Jill, such a kind and beautiful angel, is an adaptation of a real person. And the prototype of this person played Jill's mother in the film.
I have to say that the best performer in this film is Keeley Hawes. She played her mother's love for Ritchie, puzzled, and unforgivable, so realistic and appropriate. Can't help but remind me of another mother I watched recently, whose name is engraved in your heart, Wang Caihua, who also played so movingly.
When I saw episode 3, the screenwriter let Colin, who is the most obedient and the least messy, also get HIV infection. The form of the disease is still such a tragic brain infection, which is really embarrassing. Perhaps, the screenwriter didn't want the audience to associate HIV with sexual disorder too directly, so he made up this "honest person can't escape" plot. There is a hint later that he should have been infected by the landlord's son when he just came to London to live in someone else's house.
At that time, I thought that the screenwriter would let go of such sunshine, so cute, and Richie, who had just started his career and had an infinite bright future, made him the lucky one in that disaster. Then, RTD was not so merciful. He used a tragic soundtrack, a dark color palette, and a close friend who wanted to see but couldn't see the last side, and outlined Ritchie's last time. Richie's beautiful and splendid life came to an end at the Isle of Wight, the cot he had slept in since he was a child.
Cherish life, cherish the present, respect science, never give up......
