London Spy This drama has a unique charm, delicate psychological description, lonely inner world, one person's war, the whole world's confrontation, let me just say It's amazing!
The drama opens with Donna Summer's I Feel Love as the background music , a song with extremely simple but powerful lyrics. About two people, about freedom, about feelings, about love. It fits the tone and theme of the show very well. Ben Meow listened to the music, alone, and walked into the chaotic place. It's a wrap-up, a general description of Danny, and this scene shows his life: alone, alone, wandering the nightclub, at a loss. It was already early morning when he came out of the nightclub. He took out a cigarette from his pocket (the cigarette that had been bent in his bag), a lighter that had never been lit, a friend's phone that couldn't get through, and the indescribable confusion in his heart. Unable to release the inner pressure, Danny was on the verge of collapse. So he let himself go wandering, wandering around London, still trying to find some solace in the endless loneliness, constantly calling friends, and at the same time, Alex appeared and ran into the camera. Danny's attempted phone contact ends up in vain. At this point Danny really breaks down, dropping his phone and throwing off the object he's trying to get comfort from. He was completely filled with loneliness and defeated by loneliness. This is the most vulnerable moment for Danny. Alex arrives. He helps Danny pick up the broken mobile phone and Danny's broken heart. After looking at each other, Alex's sentence: "Are you ok?" seems plain, but it gives Danny endless comfort, and it is also like what Danny said in the back: "You ask me if I'm okay, not like Most people ask casually like that, and you ask it seriously, as if nothing else matters to you." This can explain the development of the plot later, why Danny goes to that first line again and again. I went to find out why Danny relied on and cherished Alex so much later. Because, Alex is the one who gave him warmth when he was most vulnerable.
You may say that this is a plot full of vulgar romance novels, one encounter, one look, one sentence, and there will be forever. But I don't think so. Because this is not an ordinary two people, this is not an ordinary encounter. A person with a broken heart meets a person with a lonely heart, using the eyes as a window to show the collision of hearts. Alex is a person who is not good at expressing his inner feelings, and his sentence really moved me: "I want to tell you a story about a man. When everyone is laughing and drinking. , he would keep walking until he got to the same place he used to go, where he would sit with his back to everyone. And when he did his best to tell the world 'I don't want anything else but one When the man waits for the 'signal, he wants this person to sit next to him and start talking to him. I'm the man and you are the person." The line occurs twice, once when Alex says Danny said it once, when Danny told Alex's adoptive mother in the last episode. What a lonely and sad sentence this is, only those who have truly experienced loneliness will understand. This is the tears of Alex's heart. I think this sentence is the best reflection of Alex's psychology, genius, harsh family education, lack of warm family, incompatible society. He never got the pure care, pure faith that Danny gave. That's why Alex loves Danny with all his love. Danny is a whole new world, a world without conspiracy, cunning, deceit, a world of simplicity, beauty and warmth. He hopes to find his true self in this world and get true care. So he said he would never hurt Danny because Danny was his only friend.
The beginning of this drama was indeed a bit confusing, and I didn't know what to say. But the plot is not slow or chaotic, each episode has a climax, and each step is a clue that leads us to the end result. And it pays great attention to taking the inner line and making detailed descriptions, which is also the most attractive part of this drama. Danny's heart, Alex's heart, and Scott's heart were vividly expressed with one look, one action, and one sentence.
I don't want to analyze the plot or speculate on the direction, watching the London Spy, what I see is loneliness.
