"DES" is the first detective drama I've seen that explores the case with absolutely no bloody scenes.
It's short and powerful, only three episodes.
Probably this is the tonality of British dramas.
If the same script is filmed in the United States, there may be three seasons,
If the same script is planned to be filmed in China, maybe at least 30 episodes.
Besides, they will definitely put more strokes on "how" than "why".
In the face of such a sharp subject, the main creators are still meticulous and restrained, restrained and frugal.
Really great.
Despite telling the story of a notorious serial killer,
Without exaggerating the crime part in the slightest,
No gibberish and appalling,
There is no deliberately provocative blurring of the focus,
Calmly and objectively describe this real event.
However, the whole play still makes people feel cold on the back, and the cold atmosphere has an indescribable depression and heaviness.
"What about the rest of the bodies?"
"In the closet."
Facing the police who came to question him, Des's expression was erratic.
Then light a cigarette and calmly describe the process of killing 15 people...
His tone was as relaxed as chatting.
"I robbed them of their life, please don't rob them of their identities."
Such words of empathy for the victim came out of the mouth of the most ruthless executioner.
What kind of person is the murderer?
He is ordinary-oriented, gentle in manners, easy-going, and has a serious job.
On weekdays, he is kind and friendly, compassionate to dogs, and gets along well with neighbors and colleagues.
No one around believed he would kill.
Des is such an ordinary person.
And the most creepy thing is his calm and ordinary state,
That is the greatest fear.
The true slayer is suffocatingly calm,
He also stood on the highest point of view and acquitted himself.
That is the devil who sees the system and human nature.
That kind of evil is diffused in the air, always waiting for an opportunity.
Behind all crimes are social problems:
The background of the story is indeed not a good time.
Behind this notorious sinner case,
It was the corrupt, bureaucratic, red tape-ridden government of the 1980s,
It is a system that considers face more than the safety of the people.
Media that creates gimmicks by exaggerating facts to attract people's attention,
The masses who ignorantly scorn the minority,
Such a society is like a rotten seed on the surface, which cannot produce good fruits.
The more people don't care, the more they ignore and cast aside, the more bad stools grow.
Social background, environment, system and many other factors are mixed,
leading to such unimaginable horrors.
This is not only a tragedy for the victims and their families,
It is a complete tragedy for the entire society and the entire era.
Like the final touches of a biographer,
The protagonist is not Des,
It's about why someone became like this,
This is not a homicidal spree or a "rave" and "celebration" of the media and the public, but a warning.
If Des hadn't taken the initiative to call and demand to repair the sewer pipe at first,
If Des hadn't given the victim's name in the first place,
If Des didn't want to correct the numbers at the end,
How will this all develop.
As he said,
There will be more than 15 victims,
But 115 or more.
He will not stop.
After saying "Is he my murderer or my saviour?" the survivor walked out of the courtroom,
The excited crowd yelled at him: "He should kill you, you gay"!
That scene was really ironic enough.
"You care more about the dead than the living."
I think of Tim.
