In the island country, there is a television, known as the island country HBO, because of its taboos, the filming of works is known for its boldness, capturing the hearts of many viewers.
Recently, this "unscrupulous" TV station, out of a crime drama, or those taboo themes, this time is about bullying and secret filming, as well as revenge TV series, just watch the first two episodes, it has been fascinating, but also thought-provoking!
Keigo Higashino is a famous Japanese writer of mystery novels. "After School", "Secret", "White Night", "Detective Galileo", "The Devotion of Suspect X" ... And other famous novels, are from his hand, this TV series, is also adapted from his novel "Wandering Blade", the TV series uses the same title.
In the story, there is a heart-wrenching and pathetic case. Unlike the previous dramas that use young handsome men at every turn, the male protagonist here is a middle-aged father, and at the same time a poor man. At the beginning of the episode, the male protagonist Nagambo Shigeki and his daughter bid farewell to his wife, the daughter's mother. For the sudden death of his wife, it took the father and daughter a long time to get out of the bereavement. Only the father and daughter were left to live together, but it did not take long for Such a peaceful life, and Changfeng Heavy Tree suffered a fatal blow.
That is, when her daughter Emo came home one night, she was followed by three high school students driving and forcibly dragged to the car to take her away, to a remote place where there was a cottage, bullied her and filmed. Unlike the previous mystery dramas, the identities of the three people are directly revealed in the play, one is Rich Second Generation Makoto, the leader of the three is Kanno, and the other is Uzaki. However, Fu Er Dai left first because he was afraid, but although he did not participate in the crime, in the later development of the plot, he hid the crimes of the other two. This crime is not only to insult and shoot videos, but to die after being tortured by the two people for a night, which has become a murder case.
Because his daughter did not return overnight, his father Changfeng searched all over the place without success, so he had to call the police for help, and a few days later, the police came to the news, but it was for him to identify the body.
Enduring grief and heartbreak, Chang Feng went to the police and recognized his daughter's body, but the police did not give him more information, and concealed the inhuman abuse that his daughter had suffered before her death and the fact that she had been injected with drugs.
In the scene in the episode, Chang Feng returns home like a walking corpse, holding the shirt that his daughter laughed a few days ago and told him to fold up and put it away, shrinking into a corner and crying bitterly, which is extremely sad.
Feel sorry for the male protagonist, but sad to be sad, or have to continue the plot.
Saying that it is reasoning and revenge, then it will not be so simple to pick out the plot, right? Of course not. The grief-stricken ChangFeng suddenly received a mysterious phone call, and on the other end of the phone, a voice told him who had kidnapped his daughter and where he had abused him, and even the names of two high school students were provided to him, and that his daughter had been injected with drugs before she died.
An enraged Nagaho listened and went straight to the hut, where he found many photos of high school students Sano and Uzaki insulting other girls, and finally saw the video taken by his daughter Emo when she was bullied by the two.
At this time, the door suddenly opened, one of the people actually came to the hut at this time, the male protagonist saw that it was the companion in the video, without saying a word, he directly started fighting, he wanted to force the companion to say the address of the other mastermind, did not think, the companion actually provoked to say that Emo is delicious, how happy he was at that time. Chang Feng could not resist such stimulation, and solved The Companion Qi with one knife.
Needless to say, after killing people, Nagambo also became the person pursued by the police, and the police also hunted down the missing Kanno. Because the police deliberately hid the case from Nagamasa before, which also angered him, he himself sent a letter to the police, admitting that he had killed Kanno, and said that he was pursuing and killing Kanno, and did not personally chop Kanno and vowed not to give up, and the plot really unfolded here.
From the first two episodes, it can be seen that this is not a traditional suspense reasoning drama, but the reasoning of social thought, spreading out the plot and all the characters one by one, who is the murderer and the victim, clear and clear, and then through the simple case, further explore human nature, as well as some distortions of society, rather than solving the case. However, there are also some suspense, who made the call, the rich second generation who did not participate in the atrocities, but knew not to hide, what kind of ending?
The crimes committed in the play are high school students, and high school students are generally underage years. This is especially true in Japan, where, according to current regulations, those under the age of 20 are "minors", and if they commit crimes, they do not apply to their criminal law, and the first choice is to reform them as much as possible by rehabilitating them, without heavy punishment. Although on the surface it seems to be a law that values the human rights of minors, in fact, such laws are controversial because of the occurrence of many vicious juvenile crimes. This drama is from this aspect, dissecting, for the entry point, focusing on this problem.
A responsible writer will express the imperfections of society through his own works. Keigo Higashino hopes to bring up the place where law and morality conflict with through his novel.
For those juvenile offenders who have committed heinous crimes, protect them with "protection laws", but what about those victims? Who will protect them?
Is Changfeng that person? Is it feasible to counter violence by violence? Everyone will certainly say that it is not advisable to counter violence with violence, but in despair, in the face of the so-called "protection law", is there any other way for Changfeng to go?
I admire this TV station known as HBO, which dares to put such a novel on the screen, but I personally feel that it is still not Enough HBO, because the play is still a little restrained, and some of the things in the novel that dare to attack society are erased. However, the final product is already quite good.
The play retains the emotional portrayal of their parents when the abuser becomes a victim, at that time, they did not introspect the sins committed by their children, but pushed that they were affected by others to become bad, did not find the reason from themselves, in fact, neglect of discipline, excessive connivance, is the source of the matter!
And the male protagonist Chang Feng, from the beginning of the hope for justice, hope for the police, and finally become a "law enforcer", is not it also caused by the imperfection of the law?
Although not all of the novels are copied, such a TV series adaptation is conscientious and very bold. So this island country's small yellow station deserves to be known to everyone, the name of this TV station is very distinctive, it is called WOWOW, and friends who know it are called Oh Oh Station without taboos!
Finally, a warm reminder, although this drama is filmed very well, it is too depressing, and when it comes to revenge, there is no such pain and pleasure as the general revenge drama, all of which are poor people!
