This drama revolves around the inside story of the family scandal of the international media giant Roy's family. In the drama, Logan Roy and his four children control one of the world's largest media music media groups. The elderly father begins to withdraw from the company, while his children think about how to hold fast. Chance to inherit this empire.
Looking at the introduction, you thought it was a struggle for power, but the result was the disintegration of the family.
In my opinion, this is an embarrassing family drama about depression.
That's right, wrapped in the jokes and comics of the whole season, it is downright depressed. The male protagonist Ken has been fighting for the whole season, and then he was rubbed on the ground by his father. If you regard the old man as the male lead, it means that the whole season has been rebellious, physically and mentally injured, and the end is a reliable son or daughter.
Why Ken always fails, not because of his incompetence, but precisely because of his ability. He has the ability to surpass other brothers, and also has greater ambitions than his sister, so all the fathers will not let him go. The old man didn't bother to sarcastically attack the eldest son of Xiaoyaosanren and the younger son of the second generation ancestor, and even coaxed his daughter. Only the eldest son regarded him as a threat, so he couldn't let it go.
The reason why Ken always loses to his father is that he cares about his father's opinion and desires his father's approval in his heart. He wants to truly inherit his father's inheritance. His father used this to give him a fatal blow time and time again. The drug addiction that he could not quit became the fuse to destroy him, and the real cause was the obsession with his father.
As far as Logan is concerned, it is you who I give to you; if I don't give it, you can't grab it. No one in the family or in the group can challenge him. It is ruthless and decisive, and the children plus one piece are no better than him. Doesn't he love them, love, but he loves himself even more.
Because my daughter worked for a hostile candidate, she was angry and refused to attend her wedding. She had to wait for her daughter to apologize, and finally "had to" attend because of "public relations" reasons. When I arrived at the scene, I still refused to admit defeat, claiming that I was paying for the wedding and I couldn't have a seat yet.
He used to hurt his daughter to punish her for betrayal, and he didn't want to miss her daughter's wedding. In the end, facing her daughter's ridicule, he would rather speak sarcasm again than admit his mistake. How could he be wrong, his interests and his dignity are more important than the feelings and happiness of his children.
"Inheritance" is also the drama I have seen most dedicated to making the audience feel awkward together with the protagonist. Movie-like texture, luxurious setting, but with too straightforward lens language. I often zoom in and give big close-up shots of people, such as when shooting a news scene or a documentary. Especially when the protagonist is embarrassed and confused, he clearly knows how they feel, and the camera is further zoomed in, breaking the barrier between the audience and the protagonist. At that moment, we did not see their emotions, but felt the emotions and the unspeakable embarrassment.
It's like a rocket launch prepared by the younger son for his sister's wedding. The younger brother keeps showing off to the older sister, but the older sister doesn't care. In desperation, the younger brother hid in the bathroom to watch the live broadcast. The camera seemed to follow his eyes, looking at the screen, without any high-energy warning, the rocket exploded and disintegrated directly on the launch pad. Like Roman, the audience turned from expectant joy to stunned, followed by inexplicable panic.
This is just a trivial tidbit from this "century dog blood wedding", but it also allows the audience to experience the emotions of a roller coaster. This is the method of this play. It is obviously a character that is usually annoying, but it makes the audience feel their heart time and time again.
Such shooting methods also test the performance of the actors. They are not acting in a play, but shaping a real person. The dodge, lies, fear, and pain in the eyes, coordinated with the mobilization of facial muscles, are exaggerated, while less are dull.
The audience watched the performance of the actors following the camera, and walked into this rich family little by little, stripped of money and power. Like ordinary people, they have no so-called favored sons of heaven, only the same people who have experienced pain. After removing the natural barriers, the audience has empathy and understanding, and what follows is the same depression as the protagonist.
The pain caused by the original family will not change because of money or nationality; neither will the bears of bear children change because of age. When the parents are all harming the group and the children are all troubled, no one can get out of it all, and the one who loses first is destined to be the one who uses the most affection.
