Prayer for a just society

Praise: First of all, let’s talk about the plot. Each relatively independent episode has the same tight and tense content, which makes the audience overwhelmed. Behind the ups and downs of the plot is a series of deep thoughts. It involves various issues that are looming in the face of society. What impressed me the most is the discussion of E16 on the issue of juvenile delinquency. In order to prevent spoilers, I will skip the plot statement for the time being. At the end, the dispute between Sara and Grissom , can also roughly represent the two main voices on how to view the sentencing of juvenile crimes: A.Sara, a liberal (or idealist, with a fundamentalist tendency), believes that when minors are under known legal rules , taking advantage of the preconceived legal protection that they are regarded as vulnerable objects, committing deliberate crimes and causing absolute harm to the victims, but they can finally escape due punishment (far from the ancient Hammurah 4,000 years ago). Compared with the established law of the code: a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, a murder for a life), this is unfair. This situation must be changed to maintain the fairness of the law and to avoid those who may take advantage of these legal loopholes to commit crimes. Tragedy happens. B.Grissom, conservative (as liberal moderate orderer, not opposed to liberalism), is not otherwise the problem of the above situation, but emphasizes the systemic nature of the problem, which affects the whole body and changes It's impossible to do it overnight. In Sara's eyes, this is a kind of insensitive performance (Sara's original words: I wish I did't feel anything). What's more, the director finally gave Grissom a close-up of the side that was murky and dark. In the middle, the surrounding things are blurred, leaving only the expressionless Grissom, and a sigh that accompanies it. The debate between the two sides, and the final blank, the audience will naturally be led into this issue and fall into contemplation.

A truth from a faithful life is another point to be commended in the show. This can be felt by the screenwriters for the design of each crime, and the fact that in the original broken plot, the CSI members' Emotions, life and emotional life are also arranged to show. Warrick, who resists gambling addiction; Catherine, a responsible mother who was born as a young lady and has constant marital problems; Nick, a muscular man who believes in love; A character has a strong "social person" atmosphere. This may also be an important reason why excellent TV series can stand out and win the audience's love.

In terms of actors, undoubtedly the most eye-catching is the CSI team leader, played by William Petersen excellently This erudite, quick-thinking, meticulous logic, conscientious and meticulous, with a hint of low-key, but with another hint of arrogance, Grissom. It can always give people a thoughtful state, and this temperament requires the actor to be deeply In general, if you don't add a clarification (this is a TV series), or these are very strong to separate these actors from the characters in the play.

The most important point: is the call of this play to a just society, From CSI, we have not only entered the present American society, but also entered the future American society. Undoubtedly, the various problems reflected in the drama and the various phenomena portrayed can easily allow us to construct a fantasy of the United States in the present world. Under the civil liberties dominated by order and rationality, there are many problems such as the disparity between the rich and the poor, racial discrimination, sexism, triads, etc., and a heavy feeling. And the future of the United States lies in the Americans who dare to face these problems and try to change. Hope Feeling.


Depreciation: Just like what (I learned about CSI after reading this book), DNA identification 1. It is not easy to obtain the source, and it is not a panacea; 2. It takes at least 3 months, and the result can be obtained in a few minutes. The application of technology is certainly eye-catching, but if these things are like water-filled pork with amazing moisture, then in the eyes of people who understand these things, they are too much to be refuted and joked. After ordinary people (like me) feel the presence of moisture, they can no longer believe in other gimmicks in the play. This point, I really feel very complicated.


Overall: I like it.
