Watch the recommendation from Gao Xiaosong. A quick note of the part that impressed me:
1. The acting of the male lead Naz amazed me, and what impressed me the most was not the reborn change in prison, but the facial close-up again and again in the courtroom, the exact same expression several times, and even the camera shot. The angles are exactly the same, and there is no expression, but innocence and perseverance are clearly written on their faces. I have seen comments that he is a submissive person in normal life, but I don't see it that way. It is very difficult to change the bottom of a person's character in a short period of time (even in an extreme environment like prison). , I prefer to believe that his composure and perseverance are written in the bones, and it has begun to show from the first episode when he was caught in the police station awaiting trial. On the one hand, the changes of the actor are of course influenced by the environment, but on the other hand, it is also the result of his own wildness being summoned. People are complicated, and this is exactly what this show wants to reflect - the inner heart of a good boy on the surface There is his hidden anger in the depths, and he can show a completely different and even wolfish side if he is given the opportunity and space. The "Call of the Wild" sent to him by his partner in prison clearly shows this.
2. In the play, a lot of space was spent to record the journey of civilian lawyer John Stone's treatment. It is a drug that is poisonous. Any treatment plan has side effects. It is like the gains and losses in life. There is never a perfect road ( Not even the best of both worlds), life is about choosing some things and letting go of others along all these paths. An ingenious place is that John's physical condition coincides with the progress of the case handling process. If the investigation or court trial progresses, his condition will improve. If he is too nervous, his skin will fester to the point where he is under pressure. Back to the most unbearable state at the beginning, but he chose not to give up, still firmly standing on the side of trusting Naz's innocence and not giving up, just as he was so allergic to despair that he finally did not give up on the cat he brought home.
3. Aside from the unfamiliar American social environment and judicial system, I would like to try to understand it from the perspective of each individual looking at their own career, because I believe that the general environment is scary, helpless or seemingly unshakable, but every Individuals will make their own choices in the end. Perhaps the so-called "in the system" or the so-called "follow the trend" is just a job at hand, but some professions do have their own specialties, such as police officers. , lawyers, doctors, etc., unlike ordinary professions, doing one less thing may just be just one less money, but if it is not driven by a sense of mission higher than the profession, or if it is just "infinitely close to the truth" "If you don't pursue this matter, this society is terrible! Any profession will have a period of burnout after working for a long time, but conscience, sense of responsibility, and sense of mission are hurdles that cannot be bypassed. If one day you are wrapped in this sense of burnout and want to give up, ask yourself if your conscience can overcome this hurdle, Or as John asked young female lawyers, did you initially choose a legal profession just to be a tool without independent thinking? It is precisely because these heavy burdens are placed on the shoulders that professions such as police officers, lawyers, doctors, etc. are worthy of respect in themselves (of course, whether the bearers of these roles really take up the heavy responsibilities that are naturally entrusted to them will return to their conscience. in question).
In just eight episodes, several of the main characters have gone through a journey from peak to trough, or from trough to peak, which makes people sigh and alert.
