Since Netflix launched in late October, I have heard many people recommend the show, and Rotten Tomatoes also gave it a 100% praise, which completely exceeded my expectations. Before that, I thought it would be another big star starring, but the quality of the Netflix American drama is average. On the one hand, I would think so because Netflix has not had a signature strong drama with both quality and reputation for a long time. "Amy" Li in Paris has a strong reputation, but the quality of the show itself is not proportional to the word of mouth, until the emergence of "The Soldier", which once again rekindled my confidence in Netflix's mini-series. "Abandoned Soldier" is indeed Netflix's best recent original series. The story is very smooth in just 7 episodes. It's more like watching a 6.5-hour movie than watching a series in one go. , in the play, whether the costumes, sets, or the choice of episodes, all restore the atmosphere of the 1950s and 1960s, and Anya Taylor Joy's retro short hair style is even more beautiful. Many people say that this drama is a divine drama, but rather than calling it a divine drama, it is more like an excellent drama with beautiful production, smooth narration, and perfect portrayal of the characters' moods. Judging by the standard of mini-series, it is really I can't pick out any shortcomings, except that in the second episode, there was a flawed lens and the tip of my eyes was discovered by me XD. "Abandoned Soldier" is an uncompromisingly inspirational and refreshing drama. Watching the heroine go all the way and finally win the world's chess champion, the process of watching the drama will really feel progressively refreshing, even if Everything is a routine, and the theme is also cut in the most typical way of inspirational dramas, but without the excessive impassionedness of Japanese dramas, and the dog blood of Korean dramas, "Abandoned Soldiers" is still exciting to watch. After watching this drama, I really want to Learn chess! In terms of the film and television theme of promoting chess and attracting audiences into the world of chess, "Abandoned Soldiers" is absolutely qualified to be called a representative of this theme. , The director is familiar with the camera language, understand who has the advantage and who has the disadvantage now, and some proper nouns of chess offensive, such as Sicilian defense, rear wing abandonment opening, Wang Yi abandoning opening opening, although I don’t understand it when watching the drama , but it really opened my eyes to a layman who can only play Chinese chess. Beth, a prodigy played by Anya Taylor-Joy, has no father's love since she was a child. After her mother died in a car accident, she survived by chance, but became an orphan. Living in an orphanage, one day, I accidentally saw Xue Bi, a worker in the basement, playing chess alone. Driven by curiosity, he began to study chess alone, and plunged into the world of chess. During the day, I play chess with my co-worker Xue Bi to practice chess. At night, the moon is bright and there is no chess board to give. When she went down, she used tranquilizers to strengthen the operation of her brain, drawn up a chessboard on the ceiling, imagined chess games, and thought about various possible strategies. ". "Abandoned Soldiers" takes women as the protagonists, and the background is set in the conservative 1950s to 1960s, an era when men were extremely powerful and it was not easy for women to live alone. Since women are the protagonists, is there any representation of women's rights in the play? It's true that there is, but compared to showing it in a politically correct way, the setting of "unique talent" is obviously more clever. Because of her talent, Beth broke the barriers of gender and created the path of female chess. She has no intention of breaking it. The shackles of patriarchy, but her talent is what made her pass all the way. Her passion for winning made her climb all the way to the top of the chess world. Looking back, she used chess to win the respect of those men who once looked down on her. . "Men will come to you and want to give you advice, but that doesn't mean they are smarter." It is true that all Beth's chess skills were taught to her through men, but in the conservative era, women who knew chess themselves There are very few, the most important thing is whether you can use it after you learn it. The last episode of World Chess King Bogoff was the third duel between Beth and him. Before that, she suffered a disastrous defeat due to lack of energy and lack of thought, but in the third duel, she used what she was best at. She started the game with her own way, took her own chess path, and when the outcome was inexorable, she tried to refer to the opinions of the men who supported her behind her back, but when those opinions were useless, she thought for herself, and finally mastered it and made an unexpected move. Chess road and win the world championship. Anya Taylorjoy unexpectedly interprets this talented woman very well. Even if she wins the chess game, she can still see the loneliness in her heart from her cold expression. She is the only one in the empty house. Before her death, she could take her adoptive mother everywhere to participate in competitions and share all kinds of joys, sorrows and joys with her, but after the death of her adoptive mother, she knew that she was alone again, no one really understood her, no one cared about her, and she lost the game Make her doubly addicted to alcohol because no one cares about her. Friends came and went, but she couldn't get the one she admired the most, until an old friend from the orphanage showed up and took her to the funeral of workmate Xue Bi, and dug up in the basement a precious group photo from many years ago, as well as the competition over the years According to the report, she was surprised to find that there was someone who had been watching her silently. The 10 dollars that had not been paid back was always a regret in her heart, but it was also this regret that made her decide to go back to the world to repay her teacher for her kindness. expect. When I saw the bridge section of the old photos, I really wanted to fall Tears, I admire the care of the choreographer and the director. The childhood bridges laid out in the first episode became enough to cry in the second half, and in the case of almost no sensationalism, it still made me want to cry. This skill back to the carbine hits well! Workmate Xue Bi is not only Beth's Bole, but also Beth's metaphysical father role representative, making up for Beth's regret that she has never had a father role in her heart. At the end, in an elegant white suit, Beth walked into the crowd to play chess with the old man. In addition to being an excellent display of White's first attack and the rear wing abandoning pawns, it was also Beth's performance of returning to her basics, shedding the aura of champion, and Annoying and trivial political manipulation, simply looking for someone to play chess, enjoying a good time in a foreign country, making friends through chess, and fading away the tension and confrontation between countries. At this moment, the world is peaceful. The old man who played chess with her can't help but think of Xue Bi who taught her everything, and the finishing touch is really beautiful. On the whole, "Abandoned Soldier" is a high-quality American drama with both word-of-mouth and quality. The title of the film originally made me retreat, until the word of mouth soared and attracted my attention, and finally I finished chasing this drama with satisfaction. It doesn't matter if you don't understand chess, because the audience can still read from the actors' expressions whether they are fighting hard or are about to win. Under the circumstance, I still enjoy the game of swords and arrows. The director's previous work "A Godless Realm" was also a Netflix drama that swept the Emmy Awards. . #TheQueen'sGambit#AnyaTaylorJoy#ThomasSangster#HarryMerlin#TheQueen'sGambit #NetflixMy Rating: 9.0/10
