It may be because we have been lack of deep thinking about "people" and "humanity" since we were young, so that when we "mature" and receive all kinds of unprepared social education, we can slowly begin to discover the profound problems behind some superficial phenomena. I don’t know when your humanity education started, but mine may really start after work. Every friction and collision with people will increase the boundaries of my understanding of "people". It may be my problem or the other party's problem. However, it may really start from the American dramas of the past two years, and gradually refreshed my understanding of women, marriage, dreams, family, workplace and other themes and people in it. Every time I watch such an American drama, it feels like relived my life. Not only is a world shown in the play, it is also subtly shaping my views on many things. I have to say that the narrative style of an excellent script is much better than the argumentative preaching. The aesthetics of consumers in the US market is also pushing script creation to a new level.
The story of "Morning News" is about what happened in the workplace of the next program "The Morning Show" (The Morning Show) of a private American TV station UBA. The story begins with a pair of anchors, in which Mitch's sex scandal stopped him from working. Faced with the problem of "one opening two" by the top of the TV station, the female anchor Alex resisted in order to protect her own interests. Mitch was investigated for using his rights to sexually harass the company's subordinates. The story of the small Boss Cory in the company secretly fighting the big Boss Fred, and the village folk reporter Bradley Geng Zhimei, who was used by the small Boss to use her honesty to jump from a civilian reporter to an anchor.
In the case of chasing the show every week, I finished watching the show in 2 months. What's most appealing to me about this drama is the way it tells the story. Each episode of the first nine episodes is also narrated, and each episode has a small theme. From the beginning of Mitch’s sex scandal, it is obvious that someone inside has revealed the news to NY Times, Bradley’s admission and her background, and Alex’s The struggle for his own rights, Mitch's statement from his own point of view that he is innocent, the relationship between Mitch and Hannah brings new perspectives, and the interviews with employees of the company by HR from other agencies let us re-examine this issue, until the climax of the last episode It explained all the problems in the previous episodes, and the fragments played by UBA on the square at the end. It is a metaphor that even if women speak out in the face of sexual harassment in the workplace, they are still disadvantaged groups after all, and social capital and rights are still concentrated in the hands of men. This road is a long way to go...
The problem mentioned above is a "war of the righteous". With such capital and snobbery in modern society, who is still in the mood to pay attention to the interests of other people? The heroine Alex started out as such a character, a story of a woman struggling in Boy's Club. On the surface, she is a partner with Mitch, but there is also the pain of being "utilized" behind her for her own career. Sacrificing his family (the husband and children do not understand), in exchange for the so-called glamour and a castle. Under the upright influence of Bradley's straight sister and Hannah's death, the "Moral Heart" was awakened and began to join the "Justice League." In the tenth episode, Jennifer is simply too good. His acting skills are bursting, and the back of the person watching is numb. Especially during the live broadcast, the eyes shaking on the anchor station, confused and confused. For 15 years, she has always been in order to achieve herself, regardless of the interests of anyone around her, including the producer Chip, who worked with her. Hannah's death is really important. She is the former Hannah, but she has survived, but she has forgotten her original intention of becoming a "news man" for her career and the right to speak.
Following the normal creative thinking of American dramas before, after introducing the protagonists, we will further characterize the reasons behind each protagonist’s formation of this personality trait. The story to be explained and explained in the first season is almost the same. Bradley asked himself the question and background that he has been chasing after the "truth" and "justice" but has hurt the innocent. Based on this line of thinking, you can guess the content of the second season's development: 1. The sanctions of Big Boss Fred and Mitch after being exposed, will they (especially Fred) use capital to create new public opinion trends for themselves. (After all, money can be willful) If you are directly sanctioned, then success will come too easily. 2. The ins and outs of the new Boss Cory. The end of the first season has revealed that he is going to run a biggest concert, telling Mitch not to get in the way. But thinking about it, the first season did not shape his background too much. It was just that when he was with Bredley, he introduced a single-parent family. His mother was a bit like Bredley. It can be speculated that he may be born in a very ordinary way, and everything now depends on his own struggle. Is his upright confrontation with Fred out of real justice, or just want to overthrow Fred to get the rights? It may be part of the second season; 3. The new direction of UBA, the development of the relationship between Alex and Bredley, the work after Chip, so The speculation can go on and on...
In short, this is a well-made conscience drama. The tenth episode is almost... I feel like watching a movie has never been as real as watching a drama.
I really like this reporter, he has insight into everything...
Finally, I ended with the words of the overbearing and charming little president.
Listen to me, I understand how horrible this is. But you can't walk off the show. You have the evidence against the guy who is the head of this company. And you gonna walk out? You can't keep yourself pure just by moving on and every time someone disappoints you. You think people in one town over gonna be anytime better? No. Human nature are surprisingly universal, and universally disappointing. So you might just as well stay and fight. Fight Bradley.
Still domineering young president is powerful, see you in the second season!
