The TV dramas produced in Spain that I have followed seriously include "Isabella" and "Stitch of Time", both of which are historical dramas with big heroines. Especially in "The Stitch of Time", the gorgeous retro clothes in the play, the ups and downs of fate in the big era, the joys and sorrows of the big and the little people, love and hate, and the beautiful and sexy Spanish.
If "The Needle of Time" is a retro love poem sent by a Spanish drama from the old era, then "Paper Money House" is a different kind of electronic music played by a Spanish drama for the new era.
To be honest, when "The House of Paper" first came out, I didn't catch a cold. After all, old stalks like robbery have been performed countless times. Is there still any freshness? But the latest new dramas are not very interesting to me. Appetite, so I watched the first episode as a pastime. As a result, I was stunned throughout the whole process. After watching it, I wanted to chase the next episode immediately, and I wanted to brush it again from the beginning to figure out the foreshadowing inside.
The opening chapter can only be described as stunning, and the entire episode maintains a super-fast rhythm, without any sloppiness, flashbacks, interludes, and reversals point by point, messy and smooth storyline, creating a distinctive appearance of all beings, still buried There are many foreshadowings, which make people dizzy and addicted.
It's not like a TV series, it's more like a stretched version of the movie, until I found out that the producer was actually Netflix, and I can only say that I kneeled down to Netflix.
The main line of the story is actually not complicated at all. A few criminals with phantoms and stunts are led by a "professor" of the high IQ and abstinence department to loot the money printing building. The extramarital affairs in the office of the building lead to a bloody plot. A group of middle school students outside the gate are Waiting in line to visit, a battle is about to break out.
At the beginning of the story, the mad and cool heroine "Tokyo" was used to arouse the audience's interest, as if she was a heroine from Quentin's drama, who had just died of her lover who was also a robber, and called her mother when she was fleeing. Another call was made. The goodbye between mother and daughter on the phone is very embarrassing, but when the camera turns, it is the policeman standing beside her mother. If it weren't for the "professor" who came down from the beginning, the heroine would have fallen into the trap of the police.
From the very beginning, the "professor", an "unremarkable" man, was shrouded in a mysterious halo. He could eavesdrop on the police's radio station, and he could find a group of teammates with great powers. He seemed to be omniscient and impeccable. Why did such a strange man spend 5 months training a gang of outlaws to loot the money printing building, where did he come from and why?
The professor didn't answer the audience's questions. Just after the mobilization speech was over, the next moment jumped to the day of the robbery. What about the promised 5-month preparation time?
Why did the "professor" plan such a robbery?
Why do the people understand their actions and even support their robbery?
Why wear a uniform mask and not be afraid to show up in front of hostages?
Why is the harmless "little lamb" the top priority?
That's right, what we want is the audience's questions, that is, to let the audience watch it with questions, to witness the "perfect plan" of the "professor" and the total "accidents" that are not planned. Every time the mystery is solved, new questions arise. This unstoppable sense of chasing drama is really great
As the camera changes, the audience is at one time a robber carrying out the professor's plan in a state of anxiety, at another time it is a hostage who is physically and mentally broken and unable to help himself, and later it is a policeman dragged down by office politics and sexism. The immersive sense of watching the play makes the audience no longer the "God" above, but put themselves in the position of the characters in the play to feel the tension, anger, despair and helplessness at that moment. Once they have empathy, it is difficult to withdraw And gone.
When the works carefully planned by the "Professor" unfolded slowly, the fates of the characters in the play slowly converged, the brilliance and ugliness of human nature were laid out, and the group portraits inside and outside the building were also completed little by little. Inside and outside the banknote house, the audience and the characters in the play are waiting anxiously!
