David Fincher is in a trance again.

With the aim of "people are very perverted", he constantly brings us dark surprises.

The last time he shot, he shot the Emmy-swept "House of Cards."

In this new drama, he rewrote the perversion of human nature and the quality of the TV series.

Some media commented, "As soon as he shoots, the American drama will change."

Mind Hunter Season 1

A must-see drama!

"Mindhunter" is set in the United States in the 1970s, and the male protagonist Horton is a member of the FBI.

In the first episode, Holden is dealing with a hostage-taking case. After a meal of persuasion, the criminal shot in the head.

Holden was immediately frozen.

Horton was transferred to the FBI's Behavioral Division as a lecturer, and he and his partner Bill found that the crime theory at the time was outdated.

Can not meet the current endless "postmodern" homicide.

The motive for murder has changed from money, sex, and hatred to a new stage of "headshot if you're upset".

Horton and Bill realize they desperately need new research to solve the case.

They stumbled upon the possibility of interviewing repeat offenders in local prisons, understanding criminal psychology, and providing criminal profiling for new crimes.

The first interviewee, Ed Campbell, who killed his grandmother at the age of 15, was known as the "schoolgirl killer", beheaded six teenage schoolgirls, and raped their bodies.

He killed his mother with a claw hammer, cut off her head, and carried out lewd acts through her mouth.

He escaped all police pursuit, and finally chose to surrender.

But after meeting, the murderer turned out to be a very gentle, polite, and well-educated young man.

Most of these murderers are very cunning, and some of them have fooled "polygraph detectors", psychiatrists and police, and it is not easy to get them to tell the truth.

Horton realized immediately that his superiority would not serve the purpose of the conversation.

The second time he talked, he learned to talk to them like these criminals.

They even use some words that cannot be put on the table to induce criminals to speak their true feelings.

This trick worked very well, and Ed immediately explained some of his real motives for the killing.

His mother often belittled and abused him.

The motive for molesting the mother is also very simple. The mother came home after a drunken session and said:

"I haven't had sex with a man for seven years, and it's because of you, my murderer's son."

After killing his mother, he also cut off her vocal cords and threw them in the trash, because in his mind he had been unable to shut up her mother.

The reason why Ed is always talking incessantly also stems from his mother's nightmare of "not sleeping and talking all night."

He became a murderer, not because he was born evil, but because his mother made him a murderer.

Ed's story tells us that a mother shouldn't despise her son.

At this time, another case of continuous beating and molesting of elderly women occurred.

The two old ladies were beaten and touched, and their dog was brutally killed.

Houghton and Bill thought of Ed, who they believed had something to do with "mother haters."

Based on the ages of the two injured old ladies, it was profiled that the mother hater should be a 30-year-old bachelor.

He has been oppressed by his mother for a long time, and since he has no family of his own, he will find other old ladies to vent.

Soon, the police locked the suspect - a 30-year-old single youth.

When he saw a stranger visiting, his first reaction was to keep "calling mom".

And his mother kept complaining: "Oh my God, see who you brought into the house".

The family dog ​​was also described by the son as "Mom's dog, not mine".

He hated his mother and hated his mother's dog.

The object of his venting shifted to a strange old lady with a dog.

The truth is clear at a glance, and the criminal has confessed to his own guilt.

Holden became a hero.

While the first case was a huge success, rewriting history is always a difficult task.

They are still struggling...

The biggest difference between this show and previous crime-solving dramas is that it has almost no violent scenes and no flashback scenes of crime scenes.

The intro is a man tuning a tape recorder, interspersed with some very brief pictures of the crime scene, almost invisible to the unwary audience.

In the play, if you don't watch carefully, there are still many places that are difficult to detect.

For example, the opening scene is a big night scene. Because the FBI can't get close, the scene of the camera becomes larger. A naked man who has taken hostages holds a gun in the middle of the night. In a tense atmosphere, the demeanor and actions of the criminals promote the plot. Development, but because the picture is too dark, I can't even see how the criminal takes off his clothes...

    The nearly three-hour "Zodiac" didn't make Finch enjoyable, so he simply made the whole episode. Accidentally reached one of the highest standards of American drama. Although it's a typical Finch-style black belly and mirror movement, the last episode of Holden and Ed's dialogue still shocked me. I went back and watched it twice. This is the textbook. Finch, I'm on my knees again. See you next year, Criminal Psychoanalysis trio!
