I want to say that the look of this drama is terrible! I have watched a lot of suspense and thriller works, but I have never seen such a protracted drama, the rhythm is slow, there are so many fragments of memories, so many convoluted plots, meaningless confusion, put together 8 episodes, in fact, Only 3 episodes can clarify things!
Remote pig farms, fans, poisons, tooth extractions, scars of self-mutilation and other elements, as well as the use of a large number of flashbacks in the shooting techniques, this drama is more inclined to horror and suspense, rather than suspenseful criminal investigation, the police here is just a decoration.
At the end, the murderer was about to come out, and I was no longer interested, so that the reversal of the ending could not bring surprises.
Forgive my ignorance, I initially mistakenly thought that the heroine had a serious mental illness, flashbacks can be seen everywhere, the past and the present are intertwined, and the truth of the year can be found with the help of lost memories. However, she is just a self-inflicted person with mental illness. She is immersed in memories. It does not mean that she cannot distinguish between reality and memory. It is our audience who confuse the two.
The heroine is set to be a young and beautiful woman, but Amy Adams can play her mother when she sees it up close. Her skin and body reveal her actual age. , making the already gloomy tones even more bitter. It's not that I want to see the smiling face of a mentally ill patient, nor is it that I want to see beautiful women: The heroine of "Nightmare in the East City" was very popular a while ago, and the heroine is also a middle-aged woman who is depressed all day long. It was not suitable for acting, on the contrary, it was well received. The heroine of this play is different from the age of the actors and people, and secondly, her acting skills are exaggerated. The setting of self-mutilation does not mean that the whole process should be bitter and resentful, and her hard-working performance is not contagious;
The character of the male protagonist is also average, and the actor's face is full of desire. Maybe in order to set off the big heroine, the investigation was unsuccessful, I didn't trust the heroine, and it was someone else who rescued the heroine in the end. After having a relationship with the heroine, I didn't find her covered with scars. How can a man with such a straight line of thinking be a policeman?
John, this little fresh meat, is actually much more reliable, and his appearance is not inferior to that of the male protagonist. He was shocked by the heroine's scars, empathized with her pain, and sympathized with her suffering. It is precisely because he is so delicate that he can sympathize with the status of women in this small town, and is heartbroken for his sister. He has a little girlfriend, but he is incapable of intimacy. The psychological reason is also because he has no spiritual resonance with her. After all, that beautiful girl just wants to be famous. The heroine cured him because she was the only one who trusted him and understood him! It's just that such a good boy, a friend of women, is out of tune with the men in the town, and instead is bullied and suspected by people;
Amma's casting was successful, and it well explained the girl's agility, rebellion, and the girl's sin. This is human nature. The large environment of the town and the small environment of the family have watered such a flower of evil. The actor is nearly 30 years old, but he can play a teenage girl with both form and spirit. I have to say that it is excellent!
The police in the town are living their days in a hurry, and they don't know what they know. The crime is also acquiescence, it is incredible. It may be that he is afraid of a powerful wife, and a soft fan is greedy for wealth.
This drama exposes the great harm caused to children by parents' abnormal desire for control, people's indifference and selfishness, bullying the good and fearing the evil in a closed environment, and calling on the society to help and care for the mentally ill patients. The script has a profound idea, but it pursues the shooting effect too much. Instead, it creates the look and feel of a protracted old woman's foot-binding cloth, which is a pity.
