In this dark series of legal works, the important thing in the game of rights and interests is not the truth, but the rules. Winners use the rules wisely to win, so the truth may never be known. All we know is the descriptions of the people involved, and the stories they made up to their advantage. For Annalise, defense is an art, but this art has nothing to do with the truth. Ironically, the heroine, who has been accustomed to using lies as a weapon in her life and career, was almost unbearable after being betrayed by her husband. Just as the more accustomed to deceiving others, the more intolerant of others' deception. Later, it was the old mother who helped her solve the knot: they live in a world where lies are everywhere, you can never refuse to be deceived by others, the only solution is to deceive others in a better way . An American drama that subverts traditional values, but the plot is very exciting, and the reversal at the end is even more wonderful. Most people only care about appearances, and few people really care about the truth. Moreover, the vast majority of the truth will be silently annihilated and never known.
Any trial has the potential to pose a series of difficult questions about the cornerstones of our social civilization, such as law, justice, morality, and the customs and conventions that hold us together. Therefore, it is not surprising that the theme of legal affairs has become one of the eternal themes of film and television works. It's true that law is part of American culture, and lawyering is a bad profession. Even Obama was an extremely good lawyer before he became president. Lawyers are a part of American life, and no one can do without a lawyer, even if he is a lawyer himself. This book comprehensively and professionally analyzes some classic American legal movies from the outline of the story, legal analysis, and behind-the-scenes recollections, so that readers can better understand and understand American law.
The plot of this drama is reversed, reversed, and reversed again, so the climaxes and surprises one after another satisfy my great curiosity. I am very fond of suspenseful colors, "I have never eaten pork and I have seen Pig Run", so it is not difficult to guess the truth many times, but because of this, it will be less fun to watch movies. Therefore, from this point of view, the logic of the film has no obvious flaws, and the clues are clear, but it uses a variety of expressions such as interlude and flashback, which deliberately increases the fun and difficulty of watching the film. The episode at the end of the half-season was particularly exciting. It not only solved the remaining problems before, but also paved the way for the second half of the season. At the same time, this arrangement was beyond the expectations of normal people, so I have to say that I was amazed. It seems that the reason why many people abandon the show is that they feel that the show is messed up. Regarding chaos, I don't think so. Because the clues of this film are still very typical: the main line is to promote each episode around the death of a female college student, and at the same time, each episode is interspersed with other cases, so that the show will not appear so monotonous and boring. This arrangement is basically the same as other similar American dramas. At the same time, there is also a line in this film about the death of Annalise's husband. How he died and how he was dealt with after his death was basically covered in every episode. In addition, as mentioned earlier, multiple flashbacks will not affect the understanding of the entire plot, but will stimulate people's great curiosity. The most important thing is that the interludes and flashbacks are also reasonable, not arbitrary.
Smart people have historically been good at answering questions with questions. Give you the first question to arouse your curiosity and thirst for knowledge, you will automatically pursue the answer wholeheartedly, and you think that losing the answer will end, but what you get is just another question; you will continue to ask questions Keep moving forward until all energy is exhausted and exhausted in the pursuit of the road. The story starts with a murder and is stopped by a murder! The story begins with four interns destroying evidence on a bonfire night, and the evidence they want to destroy is the body of Annalise's husband Sam. And Sam's death is the inevitable outcome that many people hope to see. On the one hand, he threatened the personal safety of Emilia and Rebecca while drunk, which made Wes anxiously; On the other hand, Annalise senses Sam's cheating, and her fierce heart forces her to do a series of things. For the audience, it is an account of the death of the school flower Laila. And as the plot continues, more and more evidence shows that Sam's murder suspicion is not as iron-clad as everyone thinks, and the remarks of the witness Rebecca are more and more full of all her own plans! Therefore, the excavation of the truth of death will inevitably have various deviations and corrections under the entanglement of personal feelings. Until the end, it can be said that Sam's murder suspicion was overturned, and Rebecca died quietly in a place no one knew about. One of the advantages of watching detective dramas is that you can freely suspect any character that appears in the plot, whether he is surrounded by the protagonist's halo or just passing a glimpse... We use gradual clues and logic to suspect each one people until the murderer is found. Laila's death was the trigger for everything. Annalise finds out that her husband is cheating, and he needs to prove whether her husband is the one who killed the last one, so her lover Nate, assistant Frank and secretary Bonnie are involved in the whole incident. On the other hand, Rebecca was the first person to see Laila's body, and Wes was so intent on keeping Rebecca's innocence that he dragged Mikaela, Conor, and Laura into the quagmire, while several interns The personal affairs of the people influence the course of time to a great extent. So, Laura takes advantage of Frank and is used by Frank; Bonnie and Arthur go to bed to make sure this guy doesn't get left out; Annalise loves to make Nate the Another suspect in a murder case; the interns are hiding their crimes from everyone, and no one is hiding it, Annalise knows it, Frank knows it, Nate knows it, Bonnie notices it, and Rebecca knows it. I personally experienced it and enjoyed watching things take a turn for the worse... As a practicing lawyer, lying has become an instinct. No matter what kind of lie, blurt out, it is logical, all you want is to swept the opponent with the torrent of language! Therefore, the constant sparring and swords complement each other throughout the text. The interns themselves are competing with each other, and everyone cannot see others surpassing them at any point, and the adults have that bit of selfishness and confidentiality between them. You are fighting for me. Therefore, everyone's speed of speech is accelerated, but unlike the shameless delaying practice of "who is more ruthless, shameless and unreasonable" in domestic dramas, everyone uses words as a weapon of attack, and does their best to try to convince the other person. As a result, every line has a hidden mystery, sparks are scattered between the words, and the murderous intention is complete. Full of empty vernacular, the effect is no less than sword plus Body, just like the posture of literary drama and martial arts! And the seemingly simple interns, under the confrontation again and again, become professional liars who must become in the future! They have the same common interests at the moment, and they also have their own small abacus and small plans for their future life. Mikaela wants to marry a rich second-generation boyfriend in peace, Laura wants to have both sides with her boyfriend and Frank, Arthur wants to gain people's affirmation by showing her existing masculinity, Cornell only thinks about what she needs Life, and Wade, wants to keep Rebecca... The desires of adults are more complicated, Nate wants to avenge the damage of time to him, Bonnie wanders between being faithful to herself or surrendering to Anilise, Frank Leng His face is cold and heartless, but he always feels that his self-planning is fading in and out. Sam wants to balance between his wife and lover, Annalise wants to keep all the hard-earned things in between, and it is very likely that she has abandoned her for a long time. Wade, who is suspected to be her illegitimate child... Under the intertwining of various desires, the most simple and pure is the school flower classmate and Cornell's same-sex lover Oliver, but it is difficult to walk in this world alone, so Oliver is ill, Laila, But she died... As the female lead, Viola exists as a soul throughout the book, and is a crushing existence for other characters. In the classroom and in the courtroom, she is confident and aggressive, and when facing her lover and her husband, she is calm and self-contained; and when her husband cheats and her lover goes to jail, her weakness from time to time makes the audience worried. Few actors want to make themselves unrecognizable in a TV series, and when Viola removes her makeup at the end of episode 4, that faded, tired-looking pore-filled face allows people to take advantage of the visual impact as well. Her performance felt the impact on the character's heart. Annalise's mother once said, "If you do, you must have your own reasons, and sometimes you have to do what you should do, even if you have a long match in your hand, and a jar is very easy." Burning spirits." I think that's why Rebecca died in the end, she threatened the whole Annalise plan, and Annalise did her own thing. Annalise Keating is the product of Anna May's rebirth from the ashes. Anna May was once just a "cheap" and "unwanted" child who was molested but could not speak. She was mentally traumatized. At this time, Annalise Keating came along, like a second personality who was always protecting the "riddled" Anna May. In front of Keating and her mother, she was Anna May, a fluffy, messy, fragile Anna May. Compared with the educated Annalise who wears the hairstyle symbolized by a strong woman who lives in a big house, the character portrayed by the screenwriter is really too wise, like an easter egg, more or less indirect explanation Annalise's attitude towards Sam's death.
I like to grasp the facial expressions of the characters. The camera captures every nuanced facial expression of everyone. There is a sudden pause when the lines are going very fast, and at this time, pay attention to the micro-expressions of the main characters of the camera. It is guaranteed that it is a state where silence is better than sound at this time. There are thousands of words hidden in one shot.
