Yesterday, an American drama ushered in the end of the whole drama. It's called Pretty Little Lies.
Mixed with American classics such as "Mean Girl", "Desperate Housewife", "Gossip Girl", based on friendship, mixed with family, ethics, love, crime and other elements. What's even more special is that there is a powerful black technology inside. Mobile phones and computers are very important props.
To say that its influence in American dramas is not at all lost to "Gossip Girl", it can be called another masterpiece of youth American dramas in recent years. Since 2010, he has won the Youth Choice Award and the People's Choice Award every year.
He also won the Hollywood Youth Award. It is still highly popular among young american audiences.
Why would Xiao Fengjun watch such a TV series? From American youth TV series such as "Crush School Detective" and "Gossip Girl" to "Beautiful Girl's Lie", Xiao Fengjun has not fallen behind. On the one hand, I understand the youth story of Americans, and on the other hand, I can say that I don't want to grow up. Isn't youth the kind of pure love of boys and girls, the friendship between girls and girls, and the little secrets that will never be told to adults.
But people always have to say goodbye to the past, and they always have to say goodbye to youth. After 7 years of chasing "The Lie of the Beautiful Girl", it is still time to say goodbye. Since the whole drama is over, let's take a good look at how much this drama is worth sending blades from fans. Xiao Fengjun also did not know why he could insist on not abandoning the drama? Maybe it's the following five reasons.
The story "nonsense" is the most powerful American drama screenwriter
The main story of "Pretty Girl's Lies" is about the friendship between Alison, Spencer, Emily, Aria, and Hannah, and there are many lies, frame-ups, escapes, and murders.
The name of the fan design five protagonists is "Lie"
Most crucially, the five of them have been manipulated by unknown forces behind the scenes. At the end of each episode, it will provide more clues for the audience to guess who the "A" or "A.D" is. With the broadcast of the finale of the seventh season (final season) yesterday, the mystery has finally settled.
"A" is finally set as The Sister of Alison, one of the heroines, Cece, a meme that has been revealed in season six.
And "A.D" is one of the heroines, Spencer's twin sister Alex, which is the most critical revelation in yesterday's finale.
The actress who plays Spencer, Trinity Bellissori, performed brilliantly in the final episode, using American and English accents to distinguish the twin sisters. The strength of one person to play two roles should definitely not be underestimated.
However, the characteristic of this drama is that the screenwriter constantly has to dig a pit for himself, and then randomly pulls clues to make up for it, and many viewers say that they can't understand it.
Fan discussions come from Baidu Tieba
Yes, there are twins in the parents' generation in this drama, alison's mother and Spencer's mother, both of whom fall in love with the same man, Spencer's father. Both are played by Andrea Parker (the third party between Lerette and Tom in Desperate Housewives), and the twin sisters are also deeply resentful, and the sister kills the sister.
Alison's mother bore Spencer's father a son, Jason, and Spencer's biological mother gave birth to Spencer's father, twins Spencer and Alex, spencer was carried home by her father, and her adoptive mother was super nice to her. Cece and Alex want to "tease" the five girls because they think that The friendship of the five girls is too good, and as "outsiders", they want to get everything that the five girls have. Well, Xiao Fengjun can only understand it this way.
And the supporting characters who appeared in it disappeared one by one, and the clues stopped abruptly one by one, just like the fans said, "There are many pits in it that can't be buried." Fans want to talk to the screenwriter about it, and Xiao Fengjun feels that the screenwriter has answered us through the series.
"We dig pits every time to jump for ourselves. To get rid of madness is to stop the madness, to stop the fear. ”
Anyway, the drama is over, and everyone should abandon the drama properly. As for the rumors that there will be big movies, OMG?
The costumes are inferior to "Gossip Girl" but there is a dance party every year
The biggest feature of this youth drama is that the costume style is very grounded, unlike Queen S and Queen B in "Gossip Girl", which will wear brand clothing to make people shine. Several beautiful girls here have been dressed in a particularly "rustic" manner since the first season.
Season 1 Costume Styling
Season 2 Costume Styling
Season 3 Costume Styling
Seasons four and five are also relatively average
But the American high school students' masquerade ball Or party is definitely well dressed up. Every season, the girls have to take this opportunity to make themselves beautiful.
The second season of the make-up ball, mask dance
The makeup ball in the third season, yes, the one in the middle is singer Adam Lambert
Halloween party in season four
The fifth season of the Christmas Ball
The sixth season of the prom
And locked up in the dungeon there will be a dance party
After looking at too many ordinary clothes, I can finally appreciate the beautiful posture of the girls in these skirts. There are also some funeral scenes, and the design of the black dress is not bad.
Aria also wore a black dress at the seventh season of Aria's wedding.
Masks and dolls become classic props Some settings are very advanced
In order to create suspense and cover up key characters, there are many designs with masks in the series.
Dolls have also become horror elements. It definitely subverts the place of Barbie dolls in the minds of little girls.
It's a bit of a horror movie called Annabelle.
And the little beauties going to jail is a regular thing, stringing up a bit of the taste of the TV series "Women's Prison".
And the confinement in the dungeon predates the movie "Split".
Ending Happy Ending Everything is a cyclical reincarnation
The characteristic of the American drama is that everyone will come back to the finale to make a cameo, which everyone understands. And Happy Ending is also an old terrier. Although the HE in Korean dramas is asked for by fans, because Korean dramas are too sadistic, HE in American dramas is commonplace.
Emily experienced the upfall of two girlfriends to make her recognize true love, and Alison was deceived by her husband, who actually loved her sister Cece. AE the lesbian eventually got together and gave birth to twins. Yes, another pair of twins!
Aria and Ezra, who are in love with teachers and students, are disturbed by Ezra's son and ex-girlfriend, and finally achieve the right results.
Hannah and Caleb, in the fourth season Caleb went to act in a spin-off, the fifth season only returned, the beginning of the seventh season Caleb fell in love with Spencer, and Hannah had a marriage contract with a New Yorker, and finally the fans asked for the wedding and baby of the two.
Spencer and Toby don't end up together in the play, but that's roughly the way it goes. Well, the final farewell of the five sisters is quite tearful. For them, these seven seasons of time to deal with the bad guys is also hard.
The writers spent 6 seasons to get Wumei to deal with A, and only 1 season to deal with AD, which is really faster. But still feel that everything is nothing more than a cyclical cycle. Parents have a pair of twins, Gomiri also has twins, and Alison also gave birth to a pair of female twins, is this a setting that is constantly repeated? At the end of the play, when the young generation of little girls once again played the old bridge section of Wumei, you will not be so surprised. With the youth of "lies", everyone must experience, the essence is the same, but the way and method are different.
And there are some things you'll do over and over again the way they were. As Aria puts it, "When people are afraid, they tend to get used to them." ”
The five heroines are very powerful and the future is unlimited
To talk about the key five beauty, these five sisters in addition to playing Alison, the other four were already 20+ years old when they took over the role, and the senior played high school students, which was a great challenge.
The woman who plays Alison is called Sasha Pitts. In 2010, I was only 15 years old, and this was tender and mature. At the age of 7, he acted in a TV series, originally appeared occasionally in the series, and was fixed as the heroine in the next few seasons, but unfortunately he is now fat.
The one who plays Aria is called Lucy Hale. In 1989, she made cameo appearances in "The Romantic History of Dad and Mom" and "Summer of Jeans 2". She is the most popular fan in the play, and she can get individual awards at the Youth Choice Award and the People's Choice Award.

In 2012, he starred in the film Spring Break with Vanessa Huggins, Selena Gomez and Heather Morris, and also collaborated with Fu Lanlan. In the movie, it is absolutely possible to open up, play open, and play with guns, which is a high-level version of "Beautiful Girl's Lies".

Emily's name is Sher Mitchell, the sister of '87, who is of mixed Canadian and Filipino descent. Earlier had no acting experience, and became popular by PLL.
In addition to the five starring sisters, there are several worth paying attention to. Four supporting men, Ezra (Ian Harding), Jason (Drew Van Jacques), Toby (Kaga Allen), caleb (Taylor Blackburn). The appearance of that year was absolutely handsome!
Jason later went on a skewer on The Scorpion Maid. Caleb got the spin-off drama "Crow Grove Town", but unfortunately was later cut and returned to PLL.

There are also several eye-catching characters. Mona (Janelle Parrish), who also won the 2016 Teen Choice Award for Best Villain for this role. Finally integrated into the largest player, Little Sister Paper is definitely brainy.
Spencer's sister Melissa (Torre Divito). I have long gone to "Chicago Hospital" and "Stalker", what is the last episode of the Peeping Five Beauty Party? The last one is not explained.
Another villain, Jenna (Toby's sister, Tamyn Thurswalker), has starred in Hannah Montana.
There are also a lot of wonderful little supporting characters, Dr. Wren, Noel Bad Boy, and several policemen, who come and go in the series, without cause and effect.
▌Conclusion:
There is actually a lot of content to be introduced in this play, and the analysis of it is not clear in three words. For seven seasons, the story is really too messy and complicated. It is also difficult to analyze various reasons. I can only pick out that these little spiders themselves are more interested in saying a few words. If you think this youth drama is quite interested, you can find resources to watch it. But for Xiao Fengjun, will you still watch youth dramas in American dramas? "Crush School Detective", "Gossip Girl", "Pretty Girl's Lie" have been chased down for 15 years+. Youth dramas will not be watched again, and it seems that it is quite difficult to produce pure youth youth dramas next, and now american dramas with elements such as science fiction and suspense are popular. Therefore, at the end of the whole drama of "The Lie of the Beautiful Girl", it is really time to say goodbye to this kind of drama and say goodbye to youth! When I got older, I found that American dramas are just routines.
