The British drama "Viper", which just came out in 2021, is definitely the peak drama of the crime theme. The popularity of this drama is not only because of the deep popularity of its shooting, but also based on the hidden story behind this drama.
"Viper" is based on the real story of serial killer Charles Saubrey, according to the screenwriter, without adding any moisture, all true restoration.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > how terrible Charles Saubrey was</h1>
In the 1970s, such a "poisonous snake" circulated in Southeast Asia. He was bold and flouted the law. He dared to do whatever the crime was. He was the infamous Charles. (The left is a real person, the right is a character in the play)
Below is Charles's faithful criminal partner Monico.
Charles was a man of modesty and a suit and leather shoes. But it was such a person who insulted and killed 6 young girls with the use of drugs. What these girls have in common is that they all wear bikinis. So Saubra is also known as the "bikini killer".
In addition to killing people, Charles also committed more than a dozen felonies such as robbery, drug trafficking, and arms smuggling. The Thai police are wanted worldwide but have not been heard from.
The wanted warrant has not worked, and the man seems to have evaporated, and there has been no news.
It turned out that Saubray was imprisoned in an Indian prison for theft in the late 1970s. His other crimes were not known to anyone. And according to later speculation, the reason why Sobley was imprisoned for theft was probably to escape the death penalty of being wanted by the world' large number.
People often can't restrain their vanity. The same is true of Sobrai, who is said to have met an Australian writer while in an Indian prison. Sober often boasted to the writer of his "great achievements"
The writer believes it or not. He wrote the story of Soble blowing into a book. The title of the book is Charles Sobery's Criminal Career.
More dramatically, a French producer made the story in the book into the movie "The Shadow of a Cobra." This movie was really popular at the time. The scene was full, which raised the profile of this vicious criminal.
After Saubray came out of the Indian prison, he also did film adaptations and bought and sold copyrights. Amir Khan, a famous national treasure actor in India, almost negotiated a cooperation with him.
To say that this Sombre was really bold, he thought that no one could recognize him. So I often visit a casino in Nepal. Who knew that the casino came more often, and was recognized by an old reporter who thought he was the notorious serial murderer of 30 years ago. Then quickly call the police.
On September 19, 2003, Charles Saubra, known as the "bikini killer" and "cobra", was finally arrested after nearly 30 years of successfully escaping murder charges. To this day, Charles is still serving his sentence in Kathmandu.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > the BBC and Netflix adapted the show to the screen</h1>
The two giants of the film and television industry, the BBC and Netflix, co-produced to bring the crimes of this perverted killer to the screen. Originally, this man was a legend in the criminal world, and many people were curious about him.
"Viper" immediately exploded as soon as it was broadcast, and bloody violence ran through it. The crimes committed by this evil criminal are fully reflected to the fullest.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the director of the show is the famous Tom Serenland</h1>
Probably many people are not very familiar with the name Tom Senran. But if you mention this American drama "Ripper Street", you will definitely think of it.
That's right, it comes from that "Jack the Ripper."
This Jack the Ripper was a man of extreme arrogance, who killed many prostitutes and often wrote provocative letters to the police station. He himself hid behind the scenes to watch the play.
The drama "Ripper Street" once went from 7.7 in the first season to 9.0 in the fifth season, and this kind of counterattack reputation is not something that any director can do.
It can be seen that this time this "Viper" is well filmed.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the male and female protagonists of "Viper" are recognized for their superb acting skills</h1>
Famous actor Taha Raheem plays the notorious psychopathic killer. Born in France, Taha Raheem made a splash in The Prophet in 2009, winning awards for Best Actor and Best Newcomer at film festivals.
Later, he also performed the movies The Free Man, The, The Ninth Eagle Regiment and so on. Is an absolutely powerful actor.
The beautiful and famous actress Jenna Coleman plays maria, the killer's accomplice and girlfriend. This actress has been seen on screen many times. She has starred in "Captain America", "Doctor Who", "Emmerdale's Farm" and other dramas.
Jenna Coleman's most famous role is Queen Victoria in the British drama Victoria. The TV series peaked her popularity.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > "Viper" based on real events, and people watching it are shocked</h1>
Charles Sobery, a man in a suit and leather shoes, walked with the wind. The first thing people who see him is that this person is either rich or expensive. His whole body exudes a polite and wealthy businessman's demeanor.
He did a lot of illegal and criminal things. But these things are his ancillary crimes. His favorite and best thing he does is to kill people.
It is clear in this play that Charles Sobery likes to kill two of his favorite people.
Charles Sobery, in order to satisfy his perverted desires, once brutally insulted and killed at least 6 bikini girls.
Many people in that era were frightened by this fearsome perverted criminal. Especially women, not being able to go out alone has become a default rule in everyone's heart.
Charles Soberle is best at hooking up with strange backpackers. When he found a good target, he came forward to talk under various names. Most of the time it is to borrow a lighter.
On various occasions, many people have been deceived by his moral appearance. Then drink the drink or wine that Charles Sobery had drugged.
Charles's method of drugging is really pure fire.
Charles talked to the couple who came to visit, and several people thought they had met a nobleman. Who knew that drinking the drinks he had drugged would also be an endless nightmare awaiting them.
Even if someone reported the crime, it was useless, he used smuggled connections to make a large number of powerful people, and he also fell in love with the daughter of the police chief.
Even if he is summoned to the police station, he can use the new identity and passport he snatched from the killer to escape skillfully. At that time, technology was not developed. The identification technology of passports is almost blank.
Charles Sobery kills many times in the play, preferring white backpackers or hippies.
Charles's mother is Vietnamese, while his father is Indian. For India, a country of respected blood, his father's blood is not very good.
Charles's brown skin was his sore spot, and he had always been ashamed of his blood. In particular, her mother took him to remarry in France, and this concept of white supremacy simply made him hate this society and hate white people.
Around the 1970s, the cultural movement of hippies was enthusiastic. This group of young people is rebellious and frivolous, not working or studying. This was to rebel against the social pressures of the time.
They often look for like-minded friends and travel together.
So that gives Charles enough reason to be disgusted. For him, he not only felt that he had sinned again, but he felt that he was honorable.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Charles's pervert in "Viper", and the partner Monico is sad</h1>
I watched the play "Viper" from beginning to end, and Charles was a man who made people's scalps tingle.
I have to say that as a TV series, the role of Charles is too successful.
Even if you don't know the name of the show, when you watch the show, you will deeply feel that Charles is like a poisonous snake.
Charles was unusually cold and unhurried. Dealing with unexpected situations, it is very cunning, and when it finds an opportunity, it is like a poisonous snake, fast, accurate, and fierce to give the prey a fatal blow.
In the play, he kills a lot of people, and unlike ordinary criminals, he kills people who are either scared or overexcited. There was a kind of perverted calmness in Charles that of Hannibal. And that's often what scares poisonous snakes the most.
But at the same time, he regards this behavior as his own glory and satisfies the perverted needs of his heart. Like he called his wife after the robbery and said, the person who robbed it was me. Another example is that he bragged to the writer in prison about his "great achievements." It's as if such an act can put a full medal on your body.
Female starring not only Monico one. But there is no doubt that she is definitely the one who impresses the most.
As Charles's partner in crime, her biggest mistake was falling in love with someone she shouldn't.
Overwhelmed by love, she thought she had met her own Prince Charming, who knew Charles was a demon. By the time she realized it was too late. She was so caught up in it that she couldn't extricate herself.
Charles gave orders as she searched for a target. Charles kills, she accomplices. At this time, Monico's heart was already numb. Her heart was dead.
Monico lost his principles, lost his innocence, lost his sense of justice, and later lost even his sense of self.
Women who are too obsessed with love are often very sad. Monico is an example.
The Serpent is a short show, but each episode is informative. The thrilling interpretation of the story before and after.
In 2021, this new British drama "Viper", don't miss it!
