Recently, the three-episode mini-series "British Scandal" produced by BBC One came to an end. This crime biopic based on the real life of Jeremy Thorpe seems serious, but it is humorous. It can be said to be a social security card. The politician scandal that was triggered was performed by the old handsome British man Hugh Grant and Paddington Kumamoto Whishaw, who was nicknamed Ben Meow by fans. The whole incident was extremely absurd, shocked and regretful. Cognition plays a certain role in identification and promotion.
In the history of the United Kingdom to most European countries in the past few hundred years, homosexuality is a crime and a disease, and the laws against homosexuality in the United Kingdom are particularly strict. For example, Alan Turing, the father of computer science in "The Imitation Game" It was also forced to "treat".
In the late 1960s, the United Kingdom decriminalized homosexuality, but the tolerance of homosexuality in the whole society is still very low. As the leader of the Liberal Party (and the youngest leader of a British political party in a century), Thorpe promoted the decriminalization of homosexuality. The implementation of the Act, but still kept secret about the mistakes he made when he was young. He looks serious and has a decent style, but in fact he is sly and ruthless. His former gay name is Norman Scott, and this Norman has been chasing after his ass for his social security card.
The story begins when the two met. Afterwards, Norman came to London to join Thorpe and became the bunny in Thorpe's mouth. Thorpe wrote a lot of love letters to Norman, even though Thorpe was afraid of leaving evidence. Not to apply for a social security card for Norman, but the exposure of these love letters has also become iron evidence that the two have an improper relationship. When Thorpe felt that his political life was threatened, he planned the murder many times, and handed it over to his old friend and the staff around him to carry out the specific implementation. For 270 years, the British House of Commons has been filled with sanctimonious politicians who are in fact bastards, liars, perverts, thieves, blackmailers, incests and arsonists, and Thorpe was the first to be convicted of murder Politician tried for homicide, his gay identity is also known to the public. Although he was eventually acquitted by the court, it also ended his brilliant political career.
I feel that every episode has something to watch, and there are hilarious plots, such as the first episode, Hugh Grant's British accent "veryveryvery...", the second episode "Are you my little Bunny?" and the third episode is the most Nice, "rabbit and rabbit" between Thorpe's wife and Thorpe. The debate in the courtroom is even more exciting, Thorpe's old friend wanders between justice, self-interest and personal friendship; Thorpe's lawyer is sharp in his judgment; Norman is smart and witty; Collegiate discussion; laughter and boos in the audience; Thorpe’s wife and mother waited anxiously; Norman friends were puzzled by the court’s verdict; picture.
When the lawyer wondered why Thorpe chose Norman, Thorpe gave the answer, only because of Norman's obedience and non-resistance. I have always wondered if there is any love between Thorpe and Norman. After all, one is a politician who graduated from Oxford and holds a high position, and the other is a sloppy girl who only attended a modern high school in Berkeley Hayes and had an emotional disorder. gun. It turns out that, from Thorpe's point of view, it's just a contest between the vainness of politicians and the rogues of the market. Norman, on the other hand, just wanted his social security card back.
At the end of the play, the real picture flashed back frame by frame, and the viewer who finally appeared in front of the audience was Norman, who still did not get a social security card and raised 11 healthy dogs.
