The middle-aged doctor is played by the suave Joe Hamm of Mad Men, who in the 1934 time segment portrays the doctor's composure on face and the fear of murder in the face of the doctor, and in the 1917 time segment , but has become a comedic image of interacting with himself. Whenever the young doctor faces difficulties and is undecided, this ghostly future self appears at the right time, pointing to the east and west, and sometimes fights with the young self, making the The whole series is full of optimism in dark tones, even though in the end, young or old, the doctor is caught in a miserable world caused by self and external forces.
This mini-British drama is adapted from the semi-autobiographical novel "The Diary of a Village Doctor" by the Russian Silver Age writer Bulgakov. The title is changed from "village" to "youth", which is self-evident for the exploration of the character's heart. , In addition to the factors of the two stars' drama, this series easily and very short, depicts several medical practices of young doctors, and the editing speed of the shots is accelerated to push the running account to the cusp of changes in people's hearts. The youth's story seems to be unfinished. After experiencing countless embarrassments, he seems to have a serious resistance to the legendary long-bearded doctor who recites Zizizai in the mouth of his colleagues all day long. This is his personal "doctor". The revolt of the industry-standard "doctor" model also revealed the unconsciousness inspired by a revolutionary force in 1917, so that the small village seemed isolated from the world, but it was not completely isolated from the changes in the family and country. This layer of meaning is hidden in the details of the life of the times created by the director Luo Li, but it has never disappeared in the spiritual world of the protagonist.
What is quite interesting is that the supporting roles in this play actually performed just right to perform the group portraits of the bottom Russian characters, including a drunken man and a nervous doctor's assistant, or a quiet midwife. This BBC released this film. The production did not erase the sympathetic color of the original work. On the contrary, due to the successful establishment of the group portrait, the two selves of the doctor who had a dialogue in the air were able to walk freely in the crowded space in a smooth and uncompromising manner. Compared with the doctors who returned to the youth scene, they would never have imagined that they would be so different from their past self. And facing the accusation of murder, what is the truth? It seems that it has nothing to do with the fact itself. Did the protagonist who is deranged and ecstatic died wrongly in the old days, or in the flourishing today? It is up to the viewer to judge for himself.
