[Beware of spoilers involved]
When I watched the first episode, I was really shocked. The feeling came from the moment Dracula's huge hunched shadow hung over Jonathan's head. At first, the villagers chased Jonathan from the carriage and gave him a cross for whatever they said. Everyone looked terrified and pitiful. And poor Jonathan, like a social animal at this time, is only full of work, and work makes him fearless. When he stood under the castle and raised his head, the evil black rushed towards his face.
But when the camera turns, blue-eyed bald (crossed out) blue-eyed Jonathan sits dully across from the nun, telling her about the nightmare. Obviously in his story, the one sitting in front of Dracula is the healthy, energetic and handsome Jonathan, but the one who tells the story in the monastery is Jonathan who had a fly on his eye and turned it into his eye. One cannot help but wonder: what happened to him? I'm dying of curiosity.
The nun is a character who graces the show quite a bit. No IQ drop, no Madonna halo, and even a sense of humor. It is simply the official spit service. Even if she dares to say a word to God, we don't see a rude character who is disrespectful to her faith, we see her real - real curiosity, real longing, real disappointment. There is no self-deception or hypocrisy to defend the Tao, but there is a kind of calmness. When Sister Dean was praying, she talked about how God is by your side in the darkest times. Agatha felt comforted and felt that her faith had not become an inseparable marriage. She cried very happily.
Jonathan, guided by the outspoken and unpretentious nun, told us step by step what happened. The mysteries we received were: What's in Dracula's castle? What does Dracula call the takeaway tool people into the castle all day long? What is Dracula's weakness? Are Dracula's weaknesses real? What will happen to the tool man used by Dracula? Is there a difference between that kind of Dracula making the living dead and a vampire? ...And these mysteries were not perfunctory, we felt the sense of mystery, curiosity, and the comfort of solving the mystery. Of course, one ultimate mystery remains unsolved: what exactly is Lord Dracula's weakness.
Immediately after two reversals - Jonathan, you are no longer there - it turned out that Mina, whom Jonathan was thinking about, was sitting in front of him listening to the story, and I said why this nun still stared at Agatha in shock from time to time. Yes, I have eaten both of these reversals. Although I can vaguely guess it, the rhythm is still brought into a climax by the reversal. At this climax, everyone welcomes Count Dracula, who is especially evil and lustful—
...and then a wolf appeared. Agatha said you're here, it's good, but the bats are too noisy, so you should accept the supernatural power. It just spoke my heart out. What is the use of bats? Maybe it's to show the evil of the dark forces. The earl and the nun then turned on the mouth-to-mouth mode. Although it is a slapstick mode, it does not cause boredom. I am even more curious, what kind of existence is this gentleman and old villain?
At the end, Jonathan is the last tool man. It's too thrilling. As an audience, I feel a little bit like "because of him, all the cold hairs on the back of my neck stand up" as the earl said. The visual impact of the broken skin is small, but what really tugs at my heart is: in this small and no way out of the basement, the top of my head is covered with the blood of my companions, and the only line of defense in front of me is the sacrament bread on the ground—— Immediately afterwards, the demon was invited to the front.
The first episode is over. The second episode begins the story of the ship, showing the fragility and ugliness of human nature in the face of evil unnatural forces, and of course firmness and love. Just like Dracula himself picks the buffet and chooses different types of meat and vegetarian dishes, these people have very different personalities, and even several crew members have their own characteristics even though they all carry the brand of "vulgar, low status".
But the second episode, perhaps because Dracula is exposed to the public too often, lacks some mystery. Even the sun can vomit miasma to block, he still can't do whatever he wants? Dracula has gone from being a demon in the shadows to a gnawing big brother with a few little secrets. Fortunately, the actor is too in line with the appearance and temperament of Count Dracula. Isn't this the Count of the Count? He is polite and restrained in his gestures, his eyes see through all dangers and desire to invade everything, he has a confidence that he is in control of everything, and a kind of pride that you are all scumbags. So, the second episode is still pretty good. Although the reason to stop Dracula and never let him go to England did not convince me. I thought that there are some rare blood types hidden in the UK, and the Earl must not be allowed to collect them, otherwise he will become the god of the full picture book? ?
... By the third episode, I couldn't stop loving it. Putting aside the overall perception, it's good to just talk about the love and killing of each other in the third episode, mutual salvation and mutual liberation, but the puzzle branded with so much effort in the first episode: what is Dracula's weakness? Does this come down to a psychological problem? It felt like the last level of the escape room puzzle was solved, and the staff suddenly jumped out and said: Congratulations, my dear player, the way to the exit is that there is no way, dare to ask where the road is, the road is under your feet! As long as there is a path in your heart, there is a path everywhere!
...I can thank you.
Does the answer actually make sense? can. Dracula has been living in this world for a long time, grandpa, father, siblings, even son and grandson, all have completed the ultimate goal of death. Only himself, old and rotten, dare not face everything. His remarks highly praised death. He said that death is the culmination of everything, the last piece of snow untouched, but he himself dared not go. The first and last echoes, the main points are pointed out everywhere in the text, and ten points are added. But when I think about my unsatisfied curiosity, when I think that the first and third episodes are basically two grasshoppers on two strings, I can't happily praise the third episode. Twenty points off.
The Earl who came to the modern society, although very cute, even played a switch for a long time, but he also revealed the sadness of the decline of the old authority. In the Jonathan Foundation's transparent cell, it's a shame to be fiddled with because of the sun's pouring down from the roof. But you say this count, what is he going to do? Drink more hematology more knowledge? Everyone else, what are they going to do? Kill Dracula? Studying Dracula? After the timeline came to modern society, everything became confused, as if everyone's motive for doing this was "what the director says, I do what", which can hardly impress me.
It is emphasized that Jack, who kisses Miss Biao Niang, can't impress me. I can only think of beating gongs and drums and sending pennants to praise his righteous courage, but there is no clue and space to conceive their charming love story.
Well, in the end, everything burns in flames. Everything ends in flames. There is no good, no evil, just a period of life. There are attachments, fears, and pains in life. Fortunately, there is also the possibility of redemption and the end of the end.
It turned out that in the end, they didn't plan to tell me who the big man who funded the foundation was.
(Blind guess: someone with high authority who wants to use Dracula to study the secret of immortality?)
