I was very depressed throughout the winter vacation, and there were no good new dramas. Today, I accidentally opened Renren's video, and I was delighted to see Benny's new drama.
I don't watch Benny's plays very much. From Sherlock, Doctor Strange to Melrose, he can always use superb to perfect acting skills to shape the characters, which makes the audience feel refreshing.
Speaking of the unreasonable battle of Brexit, first of all, the acting skills of Benny and the other actors in the play are impeccable, and there is no fault in the casting, especially the mayor of London, who almost thought it was himself, which shows the intention of the crew .
Secondly, I have seen many drama critics saying that the intense scenes of the struggle between the Brexiteers and the Remainers were not filmed, so I gave them three or two stars. Emmmm, did you really watch the drama seriously? I really like the way this drama handles the conflict between the two sides. In itself, this is a dispute between two concepts in a civilized era. Everyone is a civilized person, and there is no need to make it as embarrassing as a shrew. Now let me talk about the subtlety of the way the show is handled. The bases of the two camps of the first Brexit camp and the European camp are opposite each other across the river. From the beginning when the old man looked across the river from the window, this scene The war without gunpowder smoke has already begun. The two sides didn't even meet before the first referendum. There was only one time when Lao Duo and him were drinking and talking calmly in a bar. So how does the tension between the two sides manifest? It can be seen from everyone's expression, everyone's words, everyone's identity, and every quarrel within the party. Second, I may not have felt the deep meaning of the theme color choice between the two parties at first. It was not until the last minute referendum results were released that I really felt the intention of the show. The warm red of the Brexiteers contrasted with the deep blue of the Remainers. , Some of the deep meanings and contradictions are self-evident. Maybe you don't understand what I said now, but if you watch the play carefully, you will know what I mean. In general, although there are no face-to-face quarrels and debates between the two sides, there are contradictions and strong contrasts everywhere. I think this is the stark contrast between American TV dramas and British TV dramas and domestic TV dramas.
Moreover, those who have followed the Brexit incident before will more or less understand the meaning of some plots and lines in this play. In the 21st century, this war involving every British people started without any accident. The result of the referendum is very important, but there is too little time for everyone to prepare. Therefore, the Internet has become the main battlefield of this war, and Internet public opinion has become the main focus, making this referendum deviated from the direction originally envisioned by many. So most of the victory of the Brexiteers can be attributed to the Internet, which is why Lao Duo finally won, but felt frustrated and powerless. The Internet is changing the meaning of democracy. It can affect democracy at will. This is the biggest practical problem reflected in this referendum.
Finally, let me talk about the possible inadequacies that I feel
First, the flashback form at the beginning of the play is quite novel, but for some people who don't watch British and American dramas very much, they may not be able to accept it for a while, and they will feel inexplicable.
Second, in order to shape the character of the old man, the character's inner monologue is used a lot. How should I say, for example, I have seen Benny's Melrose, so the inner monologue of this level of confusion has actually been I'm immune, but it's still fun to watch. But for people who haven't seen the genre much, the narrative at first is too confusing.
So, if you are a senior drama fan, this drama will at least get four stars. Apart from the two possible shortcomings I listed above, I think it is impeccable, but for British dramas and American dramas small Bai said, it is really too difficult for him to understand some of the hidden highlights of the show, so it is understandable to give him two stars and three stars. However, what I want to say is that I don't want this drama to be underestimated by everyone because of its ratings, and I don't want a good drama to be forgotten and buried by everyone.
Okay~ Please some people stop giving three stars, two stars or even one star because of Benny's bald look and your so-called superficial plot. Please taste it carefully and hope you can have a different experience.
