BBC made this kind of literary love drama (to be honest, two episodes and three hours of stuff should be classified as "TV movies" That kind of thing) is very handy, like "The End of the Queue" the year before last (there are two lacks, and "Birdsong" is a love story of derailment, but "Birdsong" is more engaging) and The earlier "Persuasion," even going back to classics like "Pride and Prejudice" and "South and North," is readily available.
But not every one is as warm, cold and neurotic as Birdsong.
The first point, let's talk about the style first, it's very romantic and literary, not to mention, the BBC can shoot the grass very tastefully. Look at the part where the male and female protagonists go out to play, it's really so elegant and elegant, and the field battle will never be downgraded, it's gorgeous. Look at the part where the male protagonist finally emerges from the tunnel. The angle of the sun is just right, and the empty atmosphere is vividly rendered. In addition, it is very important that under the warmth, there is a hidden sadness of that era, the unspeakable concealment of the heroine and the embrace of the enemy by the male protagonist. This is mostly revealed through various subtle little details, some of which are mentioned below.
The second point, let's talk about the plot (um uh...), in this aspect, weak is weak, but such a high-level literary and artistic love drama, what kind of exciting, twisted, twisted and twisted plot is still being demanded. But if you think about it, the female protagonist didn't expect it when she died, the male protagonist survived in the end, and Fabris died in the tunnel he dug, you didn't expect it. It's all like this, you can't say it's a divine plot, at least it's a good plot.
The third point, in terms of actors and characters, it has tried to do the best it can. No one will deny that the poster is shockingly beautiful. You can also say that it is a matter of angle. When it was shot, the male and female protagonists were really not very beautiful. but! but! Haven't you really seen their talking eyes (what), everyone's frowns and smiles all lead to the plot, and they are not pretentious or hypocritical at all. Especially when the male protagonist and the female protagonist looked at each other on the boat and at the female protagonist's house, Emma's eyes were right, and "silence is better than sound". The audience couldn't hear a single line, but the loud noise from the eyes roared in their ears. Who says there is love you have to say it out loud. And speaking of characters, don't think that the male protagonist survived because of the protagonist's halo. After all, he also bears the pain of losing his favorite Isabella and his closest comrades in arms (this is more painful than death, For example, a certain killer mentioned in "Whitechapel Massacre" only kills the people around the selfish people, but does not hurt them, so that they can bear the pain of loss. Therefore, what the killer likes to hear most is what happens after they discover the deceased. Screams, oops, far away), but because of this, he calmly chose to take on the responsibility of a father after hesitating. Gains and losses are the most ordinary but most beautiful life.
Fourth, finally, let's talk about the soundtrack and the scenery. The soundtrack, not to mention anything else, when the male protagonist is trapped under the tunnel, the sound effect is really good. With the dialogue of the characters mixed with gunshots, it gives people the feeling that they are not afraid of death, ah no, they are facing death threats Calm and calm. There is also the music at the end, which can also be said to be the ending song. The long melody is accompanied by birdsong. As for the set, most of the shots are on the battlefield (in fact, the tunnel) and the green grass outdoors. The requirements for the set designer are actually not high, but as long as there are indoor scenes, the BBC's unique delicate, serious and rigorous Out. The best example is probably the part where the hero cleans up a squad leader's belongings. Remember, the squad leader was forced to be a pimp by the hero and was kicked out, so his belongings are clearly revealed. After all, he is actually a gay (at this time, the reaction of the male lead and Falbracey is very interesting, they are not surprised, because they and other soldiers have their favorite people in their hearts, but they are far away. and). In fact, this small detail, like other details (for example, Falbrace often mentions his son), shows the unspeakable sadness of the soldiers of that era about love, family and responsibility.
With such a good drama, what can I ask for!
