Talking about the most innocent:
A boutique suspense made by Netflix. The plot is interlocking and the logic is self-consistent, so it is not easy to use the Rashomon-like narrative technique, multi-line narrative from different perspectives, there are many pits dug in the early stage, and it is not easy to fill the pits perfectly in the end.
Short comments on each role:
Male protagonist: The little white sheep in the early stage, the reckless man in the middle stage, and the black belly in the later stage. The growth curve of the characters is obvious, not single. It's flesh and blood, although I was a bit stunned when I entered the door twice in a row. I wondered whether he bought his lawyer's license. But the whole process of fighting to the end, not giving in, and finally relying on oneself to turn around and hide the dark side is still remarkable. A senior person.
Hostess: White lotus and green tea. She completely did not accept her words to her best friend and her husband. Everyone in the whole play was sacrificed for her, but she herself was a martyr to block the bullet at the end, and she was whitewashed. Is your best friend miserable enough? Because you have lived in the pain of self-blame for so many years, you have become a new person in vain. What about others? Is your husband not enough? Can you hide something like having a child in the name of loving him? No matter how bleak her life experience is, how much hardship she has can't hide her selfishness. And he is not decisive enough to do things, dragging oil bottles, and having been in nightclubs for many years, he can still believe that others are caught. Neither morally nor intellectually can it be said. subordinate characters.
Policewoman: The standard Hollywood knight of justice. In order to pursue the truth, he is not afraid of power and has an inner redemption drama, and the characters are three-dimensional but not prominent. Quite satisfactory, is a middle-level character.
Lesbian Detective: A tool person who talks about loyalty. Courageous and resourceful, such a friend will give me a dozen. senior figures.
Detective Dead Old Man: The standard American drama molester. The fly in the ointment is that the contrast between the inside and the outside is too large. It is understandable that his prostitution behavior, but the motive for the murder is too abrupt. It would be better if it was changed to manslaughter and then wanted to cover it up. Suicide for good reason. Intermediate person.
Girlfriend BOSS: My favorite character in the whole play (I didn't expect it?) Dare to love and hate, and love and hate are clear. All behavioral motives are logical. They suffered the worst in the whole play and sacrificed the most in the whole play. Whether it was blackened or whitewashed, the audience was convinced and sympathetic. IQ online, talk about love without blindly licking dogs, will take revenge but do not accept death. The most realistic character setting in the whole play is embarrassing. A person of the highest order.
Female nun: Wisdom and bravery, loyalty, sacrificing herself to protect the female lead (the female lead is the most selfish among the three sisters) The only black point is that she did not save the female boss, so it is slightly inferior. A senior person.
Male BOSS: The mastermind behind the scenes throughout. The motive for revenge is clear, dare to think and act. Just want to complain, is he thinking too much about destroying the heroine, he can directly expose the past, there is no need to spend so much trouble. In the end, being provoked by the male protagonist and self-exploding is also forcibly subdued. It is clear that if you hold back until the end, you will be able to successfully revenge and perfect revenge. (By the way, I want to complain about his wife. She turned her elbows out, and didn't stand up to her husband all the way to the prisoner who killed her son. I seriously suspect that she has Stockholm Syndrome. If you marry a wife like this, you will be blind in this life. Sigh~) It's a pity, he is an intermediate person.
Summary: A rare good show. It's top notch in terms of suspense and plot. It is really not easy to have a multi-line narrative that is complex but not chaotic and can be perfectly self-consistent. I was very satisfied with the ending. I always felt that if the male protagonist cleaned up the whole process, it would be almost meaningless. Sure enough, the director did not let me down. The final reversal is also a small sublimation. There is a fly in the ointment, the rhythm in the early stage is too slow, there are too many characters and the sense of separation is too heavy, and the newcomer audience may not be able to watch it patiently. It has the shadow of European and American mystery novels. But the further back it gets, the more flavorful it gets. Overall I give 9 points.
