"In the midst of the crowd's laughter, I walked by myself until I got to the usual position where I sat down with my back to everyone, despite all the gestures I made to show that I didn't want to be disturbed, when in fact I was looking forward to it. , can there be someone who will sit beside me and start a long-awaited conversation with me."
What kind of loneliness is this?
This is a story carefully packaged under the cloak of spy stories and gay emotions. The director uses a narrative method interspersed with present and past, reality and memory, in the process of uncovering the secret of a spy's murder, ingeniously, layer by layer. Yes, showing everyone's heart naked in people's sight, there are always some people who are born alone.
Everyone in the show is alone. Alex has an extremely high IQ, but wraps himself in countless numbers and formulas, sleeps in a big cold bed, and has no friends. Danny is always in love, but the hopeless romance is always hurt, and his heart is moved because of a stranger's "Are you okay". Warm and wise Scottie, living alone for more than ten years because of self-esteem, has not had a relationship with anyone. In order to help Scottie hide his identity, Charllote and Scottie pretended to be a couple in Cambridge, but in the end they never married. Alex's college teacher, fell in love with Alex, but he couldn't say it until the end. Also, Alex's biological mother gave her son to someone else to raise, but never dared to recognize each other; Alex's adoptive mother, because of her career and family failure, pinned her hopes and ambitions on an adopted child, but lost it again in the end . Even the sensual drug dealer Rich, looking at Danny, always had an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
Everyone in life is a spy. We carefully hide our secrets and emotions, play our due role, and deal with others. Everyone has secrets, and there are always secrets that are never known, or rarely known, and therefore we are always alone. Truth or lie, how to choose? How can we penetrate this lie and see through the hearts of others? This is a question we all keep thinking about.
There was once said in a play, everyone die alone, but I want to say that there are always some people who are born alone, or everyone. Until we meet another lonely soul and can warm each other, and until we lose again.
How to face this loneliness and hurt? What the director wants to say, I think maybe, to die, or to fight. So Alex and Scottie died for this secret, and Danny and Alex's mother chose to continue the fight. Maybe this fight would have no result, but if you don't do it, there will be only death and pain.
I used to love dramas with careful logic, so I chose this British drama because of the word spy in the title. However, although this drama has the cloak of a spy, it is not a drama about a spy at all. However, the drama is still a good drama. The slightly tense plot maintains tension at all times, pushing us to uncover secrets one after another and explore our own hearts at the same time. And almost every actor in the play performed really well, and their eyes were full of emotions. Therefore, I love British dramas, often more than American dramas.
