For me, in addition to Criminal minds, Without a trace is also my favorite. On BT, it was translated as "Tracking and Detective Team". For such an affordable translation method, only Hong Kong people did it, but it also clearly expressed the backbone of the plot: the story of an FBI tracking team. . Once someone is reported missing, they come knocking on the door to unearth all the clues and secrets about the missing person until he or she is found, alive or dead. As a crime drama, the matter of "crime" is not the focus of Without a trace. After all, there are many reasons for disappearance, and kidnapping is indeed the main one, but elopement is also common. What Without a trace wants to express is when an unexpected situation occurs (disappearance), when a person or a family's private life suddenly has to be exposed to the sun, what kind of situation will it be? As an investigation lead must do, the tracing team investigates all of the missing person's relationships, work background, and even anyone or anything related to him or her. As the plot unfolds, and clues appear and become clear, you will find that life is indeed a gorgeous blanket full of lice, everyone has secrets, and most of the so-called happy families are also It's just a group photo hanging on the wall, taken by a group of people who look alike.
In the setting of the plot background, the story takes place in the first-class super metropolis. The towering buildings and the alleys behind them are full of sewage, the climate is always cold, and the glass-filled FBI office all reveal the unique depression and indifference of urban life. With the lives of those in the play full of troubles and worries, it is easy to resonate with the audience. As long as they live in this world of fireworks, who doesn't have those problems that can't be solved no matter what? How should you control your own life and destiny, and where should you go when you stand at the crossroads of life? There is no doubt that a choice is associated with countless results, and which choice is the correct one?
Of course, the character setting in the play is also a highlight, because the male protagonist in it is also the head of the tracing team, JACK. In the same way, focusing too much on his work made him lose the custody of his family, including his two daughters, and it was a mess to have an affair with SAM. But it is such a failed life that every mortal can find his own shadow in him: no matter how you look at it, it is not a successful life, and there are too many troubles that must be faced.
If the "Seven Deadly Sins", including most crime dramas in the CSI series, satisfy the curiosity and curiosity of everyone in ordinary life by showing viewers a world of crime detection far away from daily life, Without a trace It took a completely different path. It caused everyone to reflect on their own life by showing the life stories of the people in the play, and the disappearance was just a reason, a breakthrough, or a beginning. And the beauty and helplessness of life is that you can only guess the beginning, but not the end.
