Listening to the name, you know that the scale of an American drama is not small, and it is recommended to everyone, it is - "Night Manager".
How's it going, do you feel it?
Produced by the British BBC and based on the novel of the same name by John le Carré, the show has won praise from audiences and critics alike for its tense plot and excellent performances since its premiere.
The show's protagonist, Jonathan Pine, played by Tom Hiddleston, may be a little unfamiliar to you, but if you've watched Thor, then you won't forget the handsome Loki.
Tom Hiddleston is equally brilliant in "The Night Manager", playing Jonathan Pine, a former MI6 soldier who has turned his career as a night manager at a luxury hotel.
Synopsis
The story begins with a chance event when Pine hosts a woman named Sophia while working at a hotel.
The mysterious lady left him a confidential document about the illegal arms trade of a British businessman named Richard Roper.
Roper, played by Hugo Weaving, portrays the wealthy and unscrupulous arms dealer with his delicate evil portrayal.
Sofia is killed for leaking classified information, and Pyne is deeply touched by the incident and decides to expose and stop Roper's arms deal.
In the play, with the help of Angela Burr of MI6 (Burr is played by Olivia Coleman, an actor you may have seen in "The Crown", she also performed well in the show), after a series of identity disguise and spy training, successfully infiltrated Roper's inner circle and began his undercover career.
And this process is full of danger and temptation, and each episode is so tense and exciting that people take their breath away.
Wonderful "yellow storm" scene
In "Night Manager", although it mainly focuses on the undercurrents of spy warfare and politics, it also does not neglect to present some intense and tense emotional and physical confrontations for the audience.
In particular, the relationship between Pine and Roper's girlfriend Jade is full of "yellow storm" overtones.
Jade is played by Elizabeth Debitsky, whose cold and mysterious appearance perfectly fits the image of a wealthy businessman's female companion.
In the play, Pine and Jade use each other from the beginning, and gradually develop into an emotional entanglement that cannot be extricated.
In this kind of relationship, erotic scenes are often a way for the two to wrestle, fight, and even understand each other.
For example, on a tropical evening with a light sea breeze, Pine and Jade take a walk to the beach after a party.
In that atmosphere, the emotional tension between the two reached its peak, and the ensuing intimacy was not only a physical unity, but also a collision of hearts.
The use of cameras and editing techniques subtly enhance the sensory experience of this scene, allowing the audience to feel the direct stimulation of the scene.
There are many such scenes in this play, so let's dig them out on their own.
Through this performance of "yellow violence", the series delves into multiple themes such as desire, power, betrayal, and redemption, making the fate of each character richer and more three-dimensional.
THE END
This drama is not just a simple spy war drama, it also profoundly depicts the complexity of human nature and the gray area of morality.
The game between Pine and Roper is not only a confrontation between good and bad, but also a choice and struggle of human nature in an extreme environment.
And Roper's charm and cruelty also make people have to have some ambivalent sympathy for such a villain.
"Night Manager" has a total of six episodes, and the current rating on a certain petal is as high as 8.9 points, although there are many similar spy war dramas on the market, but the high-level production of this drama and the excellent performance of the actors can definitely make you feel a different visual and psychological enjoyment.
