I like watching British dramas, especially the BBC's every boutique.
Like other modern dramas, Ripper Street offers a taste of the richness of British history. Humanities, physical appearances, and rich nostalgia, although they show more the customs of the bottom society, they will indeed make people deeply immersed in them. If I had to describe these feelings in one word, it would be: real?
A few spoilers:
a sheriff who is full of justice but not pedantic; a police officer who turned out to be a burly soldier; a prostitute; a prostitute who is sophisticated in her foundation and still has a beautiful appearance; a nun-like detective's wife; a pure protein inspector "male secret"; plus an orphanage aunt at most, it constitutes Ripper Street main characters.
Everyone has their own code of ethics and behavior, and adhere to and act in accordance with the corresponding code.
While watching the drama, sometimes I envy that era and the Whitechapel district, and experience the institutional constraints, clear division of labor and strong professionalism that are unimaginable in a modern democratic republic. While the country advances and science and technology progresses, classes still exist and cannot satisfy everyone’s guarantees; however, the independence and acerbicity of the media, the freedom and struggle of the people, and the moral law all boil down to the most essential good and evil, all of which make people nostalgic.
If it is said that my Chinese sons and daughters are always humble in their bones, then the arrogance of Great Britain is so obvious in this play: polite, but careful; keeping a distance and not getting close to people, if encountering trust, there will be an instinctive defense and counterattack . interesting.
Lots of spoilers here:
Ripper Street is full of big names. Some Douyou gave a list of characters, so I won't go into details. The acting skills of the actors are impeccable, and the characters are plump and angular under the support of the script. Everyone has confusion, clumsiness, determination, and love...
The sheriff with horrific scars on his left shoulder will torture to extract confessions, intimidate reporters, and protect his wife affectionately; he will also gently hug a little girl. Did he keep thinking about his lost daughter who was taken captive by the Ripper? (guess)
Kong Wu, a powerful and violent police officer, will now and then throw punches at prisoners, and he will shave awkwardly and dress up to propose to a prostitute. Does he keep thinking about the tragic wartime, those abused and those abused? (Conjecture)
The coroner, who is addicted to alcohol and promiscuous, will open his belly and drain his blood and pus, indulge in sensuality, and call out "No man's heart aches for ever." 's explicitness. Is he always thinking about the evil deeds he has committed that are not suitable for society? (Conjecture)
Starting from the heavy taste of the first episode, it is full of all kinds of freshness as it goes on. But for this drama, the predicted score will not be high. The reason is: you won't get the love of the cool mushrooms. After all, in that era, the selfish desires and selfish interests of men were fully satisfied, and a little bit of conscious collision (whether noble or humble) could not arouse the eyes of otaku girls and white bone spirits.
End the comments with a quote from Sheriff Reed. (That's the gist of the episode, as if it were a Churchillian stubbornness.)
We are not magicians, we cannot see through walls or into men's minds.
We fight.
We fight with all the skills we may muster. Beyond that, we may do no more.
