Written in the front: the process of getting to know a play. I don't know how many times I started and then gave up. But as long as you trust "Public Opinion" that this is an "American drama masterpiece" then you will still have the next restart. Just start, there will be this day. On this day, I started to record every episode seriously, tasted every scene carefully, got to know every character seriously, and felt the warmth and coldness of Baltimore seriously.
—So, your boy’s name is what?
--Snot.
—You called the guySnot?
—Snotboogie, yeah.
—Snotboogie. He likes the name?
-What?
—Snotboogie.
—This kid whose mama went to the trouble of christening him Omar Isaiah Betts? You know, he frogets his jacket so his nose starts running, and some asshole instead of giving him a Kleenex, he calls him "snot". So he's Snot" forever. Doesn't seem fair.
—Life just be that way. I guess.
—So who shot Snot?
—I ain't going to no court.
James McNulty
Begin with a few simple lines of dialogue. It's really worth taking a look at. A simple name, a touching little story that Jimmy casually codified, really made me feel good about this Detective. A cop with a source is a good cop. A "good cop" who can sit down like this and chat with a gangster. Yes, that's him. But after seeing Jimmy and Bunk go to court, Bunk asked him: He give you the shooter? Aha - "So who shot Snot?" No court? Three Newports and Grape Nehi, he's grand juried.
It's him, a simple profile, conscious, purposeful, brainy, and able to use emotions. Compared with the Bunk around him, compared with the Detective of Dee's case plan, no matter how you look at him, he is a piece of police material. Combining the latter, he analyzed his own positioning and evaluation of his relationship with the political female lobbyist, which is really profound and in place. It is such a policeman who has triggered one case after another, constantly setting off waves one after another in the sinful swamp of Baltimore. I like the character very much, with front, side and back. Work, family, colleagues, bosses, informants, opponents. From Jimmy, I really realized that the self you think, the self in your heart, is always flat. What kind of self will you recognize and what kind of self you will deny and reject. "Self" is always flat in your eyes. Only your relationship with the surrounding world, the environment, and all kinds of people is your true appearance in the world. Take Bubbles as an example. The fake US dollar bills he printed on white paper, the overtime shopping cart that he pushed around the streets, the red hats on the heads of every little boss, the informant fees on Kima's side, every time you Objects, people around you, are all part of you. The most authentic, irrefutable yourself.
Too far, in a word. The characters in the play are all three-dimensional, all alive, part of you or me. Now that I'm off topic, let's make a remark: I started with Jimmy, and I thought of listing an album for each character and writing a profile album of the plot characters. And the film review of each episode's plot, or focus on the plot itself.
Because of Jimmy's "responsibility" for the case, he learned that the homicide-related victim he was responsible for was involved in the case again. The two-line narrative during the trial was truly wonderful. At the trial scene, the prosecutor's lawyer's questioning of the witnesses used language to explain the situation at the scene very clearly: in a building, there was a shooting death incident. Two witnesses at the scene pointed out that the accused was the murderer before going to court. When the first witness, Mr Gent, was interviewed and confirmed, the tension and embarrassment of the witnesses could be felt all over the place. During the questioning of the second witness, the female security guard, not only did the prosecutor and the judge get a Surprise, but the defendant himself had a lot of aftertastes about this trick after he was acquitted, feeling wonderful. The live lines explained a case, and the live footage explained a situation. Each time Stringer's slight nod, the judge's chin, skipping the lawyer and the defendant, a close-up to Wee-Bey, Savino, Stinkum, and the entire Barksdale Team before Jimmy's rant before Judge Phelan.
The fat judge's inquiries into this case are annoyed at the overturning of the case in court. In addition, based on the professional ethics of drug dealers, it is a political blow to the deputy police station and the mayor. who knows.
A few lines that unfolded in this episode:
1. After the court was overturned, Jimmy's talkativeness led to the formation of a task force to investigate Barksdale. Entry of each character:
Lieutenant, Herc, Carv, Jimmy, Kima,
2. Dee was acquitted and was demoted from the high-rise area to the bungalow area, introducing the story of the drug gang.
3. Bubbles and the white brother in need, became the informant of the special group.
4. Mr Gent, who appeared in court earlier, was shot, triggering a new case.
