Regarding the first question of the American drama, everyone has their own answer in their minds, but I believe that there is one that is the first in the hearts of many viewers: "Breaking Bad".
From the first season in 2008 to the end of the fifth season in 2013, it has been 7 years and is still in the hearts of the audience.
This drama tells the tragic story of an American high school chemistry teacher "old white" Walter White, who after learning that he was terminally ill, went astray in order to leave his family property, used his chemical knowledge to make drugs, became a drug king, and finally died.
Among them, the male number one is a well-known role in the history of American dramas in the past 20 years: "Old White" Walter White, and the actor who achieved this role, Brian Colonston, is indispensable.
In 2019, Jesse Pinkman, the "little fan" played by Aaron Paul, starred in "The Survival Man: Breaking Bad Movie", and under the high degree of secrecy, Brian Cranston made a cameo appearance in the film, allowing Lao Bai to be "resurrected" in the film in a flashback way (below), which made many viewers excited.
This is the charm of "Breaking Bad" and the charm of actor Brian Cranton!
"Breaking Bad" made him the Golden Globe Award-winning emperor and stood at the top, but he also needed to find a role that could break through the old white, so he later played a number of challenging roles: for example, one of them was the American version of "Untouchable", he played a paralyzed billionaire in a wheelchair.
Just this December, his new drama "Lord Judge" was launched, once again becoming a blockbuster drama:
This time, the "Desperate Drug Addict" Lao Bai became the "Desperate Judge" Michael, who wanted to cover up the evidence for his troublesome son and be a judge who knew the law and broke the law in order to protect his son.
There are already many fans of the drama, because of his appearance again excited, have played five stars for him, and for the plot that is also a crime theme, feel both familiar and surprised - the familiar "old white", it seems to be back!
At present, the domestic Douban score of "Lord Judge" is 9 points, and many Chinese drama fans still have a high evaluation of this one, believing that it is "a very desperate poisoner", "the first episode exploded", "on the head, perfect". At the same time, there are also different voices that think that there is a lack of surprises.
In contrast, the overseas IMDB website has a score of 8.6, while the professional score of the overseas Rotten Tomatoes website is not high, but the popcorn index representing the audience's taste has reached 80%, which just shows that overseas audiences love the show more than professional film critics.
This time, Brian starred in "Lord Judge" is a non-completely original adaptation of the Popular Israeli drama "Kvodo". Because of the reputation of the original drama and the popularity of the audience, coupled with the practical significance of the contradictions in it, the production company and the main creators were deeply touched and decided to move the story to the United States and become a political law thriller crime drama that runs through all levels of society.
The adapted version of the screenplay is Peter Moffat, a "magic man" who is also a veteran of legal subjects, and has written a series of high-scoring American dramas related to legal themes, such as "Royal Lawyer", "Justice" and "The Night of Sin".
"Lao Bai" singled out the beams in the early plot, and in the premiere episode, a person's interpretation suppressed the whole situation, so many viewers with a strong sense of substitution were brushing the bullet screen, complaining that the young actor of Adam, the son of the initiator of the case, had poor acting skills... However, this comparison is still a bit unfair, the senior acting skills themselves are very different, and the plot has not yet unfolded.
Michael, played by "Old White" this time, is a famous local judge in New Orleans, USA, who has been praised for his wisdom and great sense of justice in his professional field. Even if there is a local black man suspected of crime, he will not affect his judgment because of subjective conditions, and in terms of the bottom line and professional quality he holds, he is very strong.
But no one is perfect, although Michael is clean and self-disciplined, but he has a son who is not very strict, Adam, who accidentally broke into a catastrophe.
The day of the incident was adam's mother's death day, he said goodbye to his girlfriend, according to the custom, drove to the place where his mother died to worship, but unexpectedly was chased by the black people near the cemetery, you chased me in a panic, the excited Adam caused asthma.
What is even more unfortunate is that when he was driving while looking for an inhaler, because he was distracted and did not pay attention to the road surface, he hit a boy riding a motorcycle in the opposite lane and half died...
Adam panicked and tried to save the boy, but in a hurry, it aggravated the boy's injury, and seeing that the boy was about to lose his breath, Adam chose to give up in horror and ran home.
In the process of his so-called rescue, he left a lot of traces and evidence on the boy and at the scene of the accident.
When Michael returned home, he knew the fact that his son not only knocked people to death but also escaped, although he was a justice, he was also helpless about such an obvious guilt, and his professionalism told him to take his son to the police station to turn himself in.
Michael, who came to the police station to report the crime, saw the family of the deceased, and he recognized this person as the local gang leader, the family was fierce and brutal... On a professional and moral level, he should have gone through the formal process of letting Adam go to jail, but now, he found that his son had offended the most powerful local gangster family, and letting his son go to prison was equivalent to dying...
Adam is now Michael's only child, and since his wife's death, they have been left to live with each other, and emotionally, this son is more important than his own life and career combined.
Weighing the trade-offs, Michael's fatherhood prevailed at this moment, and he decided to take the risk for the safety of his son.
So, as a legal worker, Michael began to cross that line and march to the abyss of the line: he destroyed all the evidence in front of him, but the problem was that his son Adam, who had been in a state of fright, left countless pieces of evidence at the crime scene and on the way to escape...
Adam was actually a well-behaved child, but he accidentally made a big mistake: he left a picture of his mother in the cemetery, and when he rescued the victim, he left too many marks on the other party, and even the secondary injury of death was caused by his overwhelmed violent rescue.
When he drove away, he left his related drug equipment at the scene; ran wild on the police call, leaving contact information; and went to the gas station to refuel once during the escape, which was recorded by surveillance.
When he ran home, he accidentally let the dog hide the "blood coat" as evidence under the sofa while cleaning up the clothes. And the process of Adam bumping into people was also seen by the black people who chased him...
Isn't it a bit familiar?
Instead of being a "desperate drugger", he became a "desperate judge", and "Lao Bai" is playing a good person who is forced to commit a crime by life. In both plays, both chemistry teacher White and Judge Michael choose to cross the line in extreme circumstances.
Michael in "Lord Judge" should be more restrained than White in "Breaking Bad", after all, his status as a legal practitioner for many years has allowed him to maintain the legal constraints on morality.
Therefore, the follow-up plot of "Lord Judge" should advance in a relatively narrow gray space - Michael has to use his identity and profession to cover up the guilt of his son Adam's hit-and-run, while also taking the route of fighting with local gangsters.
Can Michael save his son and save himself?
A good play with a lot of suspense, opened the curtain, the male protagonist is the familiar "old white", just look at this face, it is worth chasing down.
