I haven't watched this type of American drama for a long time. The filming and narrative techniques are top-notch. I personally like Taylor Joy's performance and the top female chess player she created.
I really want to give 4 or 5 stars, but after learning about Ms. Nona Gaprindashvili's achievements and everything she has experienced, understanding this real existence in history has been obliterated by this play, and the protagonist has a lot of important experiences When they all coincided with it, I suddenly felt that these 5 stars were out, and I might not be able to sleep.
The historical Ms. Kaprindashvili does not need to rely on addictive tranquilizers, sex, alcohol and chaotic social relationships, outrageous actions to justify her genius, she can keep her cool and read books. Adjust the psychology, and these become Beth's personality in the original play, not the psychology of a chess player.
Nihilism and the bottom white left are struggling between drugs and sex, mistakenly thinking that this way they can go to the top of the world and get all the glory, and in their fantasy they think that there is a superhero hidden in their body who will wake up one day, this story framework The conceit here is disgusting.
A true genius should be wise, rational, and radiant with humanity, she thought, she proved, she fought, she has achieved all the honors a chess player can achieve.
And this person is not Beth, placed in the torrent of history, Beth does not rely on politics and TV dramas, and even can not be compared.
It is understandable that this is for artistic creation, but it is necessary for me to record this, lest one day when I look back, I will forget it as if I had forgotten the history.
