I don't know that the uncles in film and television dramas all over the world are in a state of decadence and collapse recently? Or because what some uncles with good eyebrows and good looks but are actually demons and old prostitutes have done to their female compatriots has completely angered the bottom line of righteous women and children's rights defenders, so gods like my uncle and Melrose The show kept illuminating my eyes. British BBC TV also stepped in and filmed a 3EP drama based on real historical events, British Scandal.
Jeremy Thorpe (Hugh Grant) was the youngest and most promising party chairman of the British Liberal Party in the late 1960s. He was on the rise in politics, but unfortunately, in terms of personal sexual orientation, he was an unremarkable gay man at the time. By chance, he met an offspring keeper named Norman Scott. Norman later developed a Lover relationship with him. Although Norman is born as an icon, he is often a blood-sucking worm that depends on people. He has no ability to take care of himself. He lives around the poverty line. He does not know who his biological father is. Psychiatric drugs. For the 30 pounds of relief money, he even wrote himself and the party leader's previous romance to the party leader's mother, and then threatened the party leader's wife to ask the party emblem to give him a social security card for relief and unemployment insurance benefits, and even He voluntarily surrendered himself and said that the party leader had tempted him to become gay.
The party leader has repeatedly sent his lifelong friend, Bessel, to talk to Norman about the conditions and requirements for closing. Norman asked for basic living expenses of £5 a week and a social security card. Later, Norman came to Dublin, Ireland, with a natural star like Cover Boy on the cover of a magazine. But the good times didn't last long, and he still turned into a little white face who couldn't support the wall with mud. Another threat made Jeremy plan to kill him, deliberately murder, but unfortunately, he became the first politician sitting on the bench, the leader of the Liberal Party. It is precisely because of Jeremy's legendary experience that the Iron Lady, the Conservative Party's former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's several female leadership careers.
The show was very successful in casting. Hugh Grant, known as the Playboy, has passed the baptism of the years, and is obviously not an uncle who has grown against the growth or frozen age. His whole face is covered with wrinkles like a spider web, but his acting skills have grown a lot. Get tired of Norman's sweet words when an old gay pursues you, turn his face ruthlessly, and kill his "little bunny", the former sexual object of his sexual desire, and you can see all the ugly faces. The image of the villain's scumbag is vividly interpreted, which is remarkable. For the sake of his political future, he frequently hunted for these beautiful little fresh meat before "deceiving marriage". When his colleagues proposed the proposal that "homosexuality is not a crime", he accepted it hypocritically, and he did not want to offend these conservative members. He played a contradictory political figure very successfully.
In his later life, apart from being handsome, his acting skills were really average. Unexpectedly, as people get older, they become more and more manly, and they play a cynical politician alive. I think this can be regarded as a counter-attack bottoming out in terms of acting skills.
Ben Whishaw plays the little white-faced Norman, who became popular in 2006 for his role in the movie "Perfume", and two Hollywood blockbusters in 2012, "007: Skyfall" and "Cloud Atlas". While his acting skills have been recognized and his popularity has continued to rise, little Ben's sexual orientation has been a mystery until now he has confessed that he has come out as a homosexual.
In this film, Ben has brought Norman's special glamorous, charming, charming, cute, hypocritical, lazy, neurotic, insecure, fragile and other characteristics to the extreme. It is precisely because of these human weaknesses that he frequently puts him Pushed into a corner. Hehe, it's no exaggeration to call him the most promising Hollywood rising star. His performance even rivals Jude Law's stellar performance in the 1997 film Wilde and His Lover.
The sexual orientation of the year can ruin everything for a politician. It is conceivable that although this Norman seems to have a strong desire to protect people, he is actually a ruthless character who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. Once he is attached to him, it is equivalent to adding a burden to the belt of his pants, and he has tried every means to get rid of the extremely bad political and public opinion influence he has brought. The mountain that goes up to meet the tiger said that Jeremy met people like Norman and was ruthlessly destroyed everything.
3 EPs, each EP is less than 60 minutes, the plot is quite compact, and the weight is appropriate. The acting skills of the two old and new male gods are also very enjoyable to watch. The classic lines in the play are constantly, "Mrs. Mrs. Mrs." and so on. The last two EPs must be about how the old gay "funny" set up the murder case, and how the neurotic Norman saw his tricks and dismantled them, and finally ended the old gay. Divine drama Divine drama, how can you not chase it?
Public opinion, scandals, and moral concepts explode like a ticking time bomb whenever and wherever. For example, the sex scandals of former U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and Lewinsky; the sex scandals of former U.S. President Kennedy and famous movie star Marilyn Monroe; former South Korean President Park Geun-hye’s best friend entering politics, etc. Therefore, one must be worthy of the conscience of the world. Ha, or else, to borrow a line from Zeng Zhiwei in the Infernal Affairs movie, "When you come out to play, you will have to pay it back sooner or later."
From last year to the present, from Hollywood to the Korean entertainment industry, from the Oscars to the Cannes Film Festival, there have been constant reports of horrific incidents of female actors being sexually harassed, sexually violent, and sexually assaulted by famous directors and actors. The famous French director Luc Besson was accused of rape and sexual assault of the actress, the famous Korean director Kim Ki-duk was accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting and sexually violent actresses, and even the veteran black star Morgan Freeman in Hollywood was accused of repeatedly sexually harassing actresses . What happened to the entertainment industry in this world? Whether it's true or not, actresses are afraid of the behind-the-scenes power and means of these bigwigs, dare not speak out, or fight for a position, it should arouse the high attention of the performing arts circles around the world. So episodes like My Uncle, Melrose, British Scandal, etc. chose to broadcast at this critical time point, and the meaning behind them is thought-provoking. But fortunately, some actresses took the lead in exposing these ugly acts by taking their own risks, otherwise there will be more and more victims in the future.
