HBO is obviously familiar with the production of such niche psychological suspense dramas. I thought this work would not have much new ideas, but it turned out that the episode was really fragrant. From the cast to the plot, it gave me a new wave of preconceived and narrow experience.
Let's talk about Cass.
Today's film actors, directors, and screenwriters have gradually moved closer to the TV industry, which also depends on the aesthetic fatigue caused by the large-cost, zero-plot commercial production to the audience in recent years. A well-produced, slow-paced narrative drama is more thought-provoking than a mature audience.
When Winslet's uppercase profile face appeared on the poster, there was still a hint of concern that she would not bring heavy performance traces into TV works (such as Aunt May in Big Little Lies), who was very tense in the film. As a result, when that tired and greasy face and chubby figure appeared on the screen, I knew that I had once again underestimated the strength of this work.
Winslet basically expresses a series of emotions with very subtle eye movements. Although the character setting is a detective, the inner drama is much more complicated than the general detective role - first, her core is a woman; then the labels can be posted one by one: marriage failure, middle-aged child loss, career low, No friends, man woman, bad temper. Does she have any advantages? It's almost impossible to tell.
In this drama, I feel that no one has a bright spot. The whole town is filled with a chill and a rotten breath, but all, no matter the main character, there is a strong logical support behind everything everyone does. While making people feel how such a rotten person can exist, they can't help but wonder if they would make the same choice if they were in such a situation.
Back to the plot.
This drama has only been updated for two episodes, and the narrative skills are evident.
Someone told me before that a lot of American dramas have slowly changed direction in the past two years. On the contrary, I feel that maybe we have reached a certain level of material life and are no longer satisfied with appearances on the spiritual level. From "True Detective" and "Sin Night Run" a few years ago to "Big Little Lies" and "Your Majesty" in the past two years, although the works presented are all about small town affairs, they point directly at the heart of many human issues. .
A large part of my optimism about "Nightmare" is because of the fact that the show has a lot of complex social issues, including a lot of complex social issues and tearing it apart for you to see - single mothers and special groups of the same sex, youth problems, confrontation between the police and the public, drug addiction . . . Too many sins under the sun are on display in this show.
In fact, in my opinion, the goodness of the human heart, in the final analysis, is love, while malice and obsession are love and not.
Human nature is really an eternal and unsolvable mystery. Maybe we all have the opportunity to make choices, but it is precisely because we are different people that we have so easily embarked on different paths and have different stories. It is undeniable that people are social animals after all. If you want to overcome obstacles, you will never end up with the support of your family and your confidants.
Several characters with clues set up in the play feel like lonely ghosts walking on earth.
There is no one who can feel this desperation through the screen than Irene, who died tragically at the age of 17. As if she was abandoned, and being a single mother of a disabled child wasn't deadly enough, an alcoholic father, an experience of being sexually assaulted, deceived and beaten, and she couldn't be peeled off like an onion. The irony is that she is always a 17-year-old innocent girl. No matter how she is trampled, she still has the yearning of a 17-year-old girl-for life, love, and the future. Therefore, she will always stay at this age when she should have dreamed of a princess.
Not to mention the protagonist Mel, the opening lines are spread out on her body one by one - why did her son die? What kind of haze has the past case brought her? What kind of childhood did she have? What kind of person is your ex-husband?
Her life has been torn apart and torn apart by these pieces; alcoholism is the best way to numb herself and repair herself. Such a life must have pains beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Fortunately, in order to balance this repressed emotion, the only one with a bit of warmth in the whole play is the detective "deputy" played by Kuaiyin, who is open-minded and talkative. all of these.
Perhaps, he will be a light that breaks through this fog, who knows, we will wait and see.
