Since 1993's "Groundhog Day", various film and television dramas have opened a new mode of "infinite loop" . Later, in "Terror Cruise" and "Happy Death Day", the protagonist was trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation.
Although this stalk has been played N times, Netflix is not afraid of it! In the beginning of this year, an American drama with an endless loop of horror themes was launched , but with its own comedy essence——
Reincarnation party
Russian Doll
This drama has only 8 short episodes, each 25 minutes , according to Netflix's urine nature, of course, it must be updated in one breath.
Although I am playing with old stalks, it is so fresh that I can't wait to finish it in one breath!
So far, the freshness of rotten tomatoes is 96%.
IMDB 8.0 points.
Like the heroine of the movie "Happy Death ", the heroine of this drama was also selected by fate on her birthday, opened the infinite loop mode , and died again and again.
The hostess said: What can I do? I'm so helpless too?
It is precisely because of this that this drama is also called the drama version "Happy Death",
However, it can be seen from the comments of netizens that the various routines in this show are obviously much more advanced than "Happy Death"~
Seeing this, if you think this is a horror drama, then you can only say that you are too young...
Trust your eyes and read the text behind: This is a serious comedy!
The heroine Nadia, although smoking, drinking, swearing... life is bohemian, but also loves freedom.
Although many netizens commented that the show was very mournful, but carefully tasted,
You will find that the female protagonist actually has her own sand sculpture aura , and from time to time a few golden sentences pop up to laugh at herself.
This is probably the black humor that people say~
It is worth mentioning that the screenwriter and director team of this play are all women, Natasha Leon, who plays the heroine Nadia, or Nicky in "Women's Prison".
Unlike "Happy Death", the heroine who was forced to die again and again this time is 36 years old.
She is a software engineer responsible for game development. She hates all intimacy, so she still bursts out single.
There are only two or three good friends. The orange cat Oatmeal ran away from home and has not returned.
However, all of this can't stop Nadia from really verifying that sentence:
She smokes, drinks, and swears... not only is she living in chaos, she also has no enthusiasm for life.
However, he was chosen by fate and reincarnated again and again.
How did it happen?
On the day of Nadia’s 36th birthday, a friend organized a birthday party for her.
As the protagonist of the party, Nadia was very depressed , completely unaware of being a birthday star, it was simply perfunctory.
That's it?
NO! She also knocked the medicine that night, and went home with a stranger!
After finishing the work, Nadia had planned to go to work overtime...
and many more! Thinking of going to work overtime after doing it? ?
Okay, just work overtime.
On the way, I saw the orange cat oatmeal that hadn't been home for three days.
She wanted to take the little guy home, but ignored the car coming from the side.
So, for the first time, Nadia died.
Of course, everything is floating clouds.
In the next second, she returned to the toilet for her birthday party.
Nadia was confused and stunned , thinking that she was stunned by taking drugs, or she had just had a dream.
Pushing open the bathroom door, only to find that all the scenes are so familiar.
The same plot, the same sequence, even what the friend and her said are the same.
Nadia couldn't figure out what went wrong , but was pushed forward by repeating the plot.
But before she finished tangling, she fell into the river.
So, Nadia died for the second time.
It didn't matter. Soon, Nadia returned to the bathroom of the birthday party again. emmmm... is still a familiar plot, a familiar taste.
This time, Nadia finally realized that this was not a dream at all. I am caught in a strange cycle of reincarnation!
In her own words: This is how the universe can't live with her.
After calming down, Nadia decided to find out the truth.
She found the person who made marijuana for the body, and wondered if there was a problem with the marijuana.
She asked someone to find out if the building where the birthday party was held was haunted.
She suspected that she was mentally ill and wanted to send herself to a psychiatric hospital.
But this can't stop it, the cycle of death again and again.
Fall into the well, pawn × 2.
Breaking his neck from the stairs, pawn × 2.
There was a car accident and died.
Have you seen it? This is just two episodes, and the heroine has died so many times...
However, as the saying goes (bushi): No matter what, if you experience more, you will get used to it.
Therefore, the hostess decided that since she couldn't find the answer, she might as well have fun in time and settle down.
Anyway, there is a lot of time to loop infinitely on the birthday, and no matter what you do, no one else will remember.
Why not do some crazy things with this?
When her Nadia came out of the bathroom again, she refused her ex-boyfriend who wanted to get back together.
He also ran frantically to sleep with the tramp in the street.
Of course, during this period, he died again and again.
Frozen to death while sleeping on the street.
The elevator malfunctioned and was thrown to death.
The gas explosion was killed.
He was treated as a robber and shot to death.
Choked to death by a bone...
This is simply the legendary "1,000 ways to die" , and Nadia has experienced it all.
However, between this fancy death, Nadia found the male protagonist who fell into the infinite loop death mode like her-Allen.
And satisfied Tia indulgent, undisciplined lifestyle different, Allen is obsessive-compulsive disorder fighter, patterns of life to metamorphosis.
Unlike Nadia's madness, Allen felt that this kind of cycle was quite enjoyable.
Then, the two diametrically opposed people are also in constant rebirth.
What is the connection between Nadia and Allen? Will they discover each other’s problems and heal each other and save each other?
Listen to me, be sure to watch all 8 episodes, and you will be moved by the warmth that comes out at the end.
Just like the other name of this play- Russian Doll: Reincarnation Party.
In fact, our life is like a matryoshka. Only by pulling the outer skin layer by layer, can we see the truest self.
Only by taking the risk of suffering can we calmly face our naked self and then reconcile with ourselves.
