Hats are endless, sometimes a whole circle of leather, sometimes a flower made of feathers, and a circle embroidered on it.
The clothes are also of oriental color: kimono-style black pajamas with scattered small flowers, Fisher showing off her fragrant shoulders; there is a row of flowers on the front of the stand-up collar; the cheongsam is not good-looking, it is related to the waist-to-hip ratio of foreign girls. (In the original book, it was introduced that her lover was a wealthy Chinese businessman, and she also brought a bodyguard who knew Shaolin Kung Fu, which made me happy, but there is no wow in this play. Eyes.)
Episode 7 Lin came out, tall and handsome, with no accent in English, a bit like Zunlong with a long face, doing import and export trade, not selling opium, not being a smuggler, not a smuggler, a businessman with a noble temperament, and a Kung fu, the clip in the theater murder case is impressive, more handsome than Inspector Jack. There was a bit of emotional entanglement with Miss Fisher. Fisher invited him to his house for tea to investigate the case, and by the way asked him if he was smuggling opium. Mr. Lin felt insulted and said that he was only doing some silk business and went to the theater for the boss to see. The silk fabric for the costumes, and Fisher said goodbye without even drinking tea. Later, because of the family marriage, he went to Shanghai to marry the daughter of the Hu family. Their family was famous and the family was rich. A very normal oriental businessman from start to finish. He is used to seeing cunning roles played by ugly and strange oriental people in many British and American dramas. Mr. Lin is rare, and he is also well-versed in Chinese and Western. He speaks Eastern proverbs and Shakespeare for a while, but he does not have that kind of complacent taste. . The original book looks like the first male, and it is estimated that it is a transition here, which is a pity.
The heroine, Essie Davis (42 years old), is Australian. She has acted in film, television and stage plays. She is the best supporting actress for "A Streetcar Named Desire" (Lawrence Olivier Award), nominated for the Tony Award. , the appearance is quite retro, but I feel that the part of solving the case is relatively general, and the lines are not as good as the Miss Marple series. The supporting characters in the Miss Marple series are very powerful, including the new Sherlock Holmes, and the old man from Downton Abbey, and some are movie lovers. .
This goddess detective has a title and is very bold in her behavior. She danced tango with a Russian ballerina for a while, covered him on the street pretending to be a warbler, went to the hammam to catch a female drug lord, and had a relationship with a Latvian gangster. for a while. Carrying a small golden gun with them, women who are insulted and damaged immediately hand over their business cards. It's a bit too avant-garde, the plot goes by very fast, there is no reasoning, and there are no special lines.
The Bolsheviks in there were crazy, locked up, made money and made explosives.
Some people commented that this drama "can quite grasp the essence of the original", because I have not read the original, so it is not good to comment. Maybe this is also the reason why I don't invest enough in watching the drama, because it belongs to the type of drama that highlights the detective itself. Essie Davis's personal performance is good, but others are reduced to embellishment. This type of drama "The focus is not on the case itself. "Of course, I think it has something to do with the writer's skill. For a case in about an hour, you need to explain the ins and outs of the case clearly, and you need to point out the complex character relationships. The rhythm is tense, the characters are eye-catching, or although the rhythm of British dramas, whether classical or modern, is slower, the overall acting skills of the actors are quite high. If you don't watch them in criminal investigations, you can slowly appreciate their outstanding acting skills. (Many actors in British dramas have a stage play background, and many of them are very senior.)
The same example is the Canadian drama "Endgame" (genius chess detective), the male lead is also a supporting role in various American dramas, but he is a great stage actor in Canada and won the DOLA Award (similar to the Tony Award in the United States, the United Kingdom's Lawrence Olivier Award), which is equivalent to the highest honor of a stage play, but that play is quite gentle, the first episode is not arresting, and the story is not compact, but the image and acting skills of the actors themselves are quite suitable for the role.
