In fact, the heat of [taboo] is not fried in recent days, as early as the beginning of last year, Teacher Tang's "big shame" set photos have flowed out, I feel that he should be "dry ticket big" this time.
Judging from the main creative lineup of [Forbidden], this is a work tailored by Teacher Tang for himself. He not only starred in the play, but also played father and son soldiers, and his father Chapps Hardy participated in the whole script writing.
Another big name is steven Knight, a well-known screenwriter who was nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for "Beautiful Bad Stuff".
The heroine of [Beautiful Bad Stuff], but "Angel Amelie" Audrey Tatoo!
Steven Knight is already working with Mr. Tang for the third time, the previous two times being his self-written and directed film [Locke] and the British drama [Blood Gangster].
His screenwriting level, we can make a rough judgment from the score of the work:
The not-so-recently released [League of Spies], yes, the movie that was rumored to be the trigger for Brad Pitt's divorce, was also written by Steven Knight.
In addition, the biggest creator is actually one of the producers Ridley Scott, his "Alien", "Blade Runner", [The Martian] these films do not need to be introduced to everyone too much, his handwriting, everyone is assured.
▲Old Man Lei's creativity is still exuberant
[Taboo] go
It is the dark wind that the film and television circles have been enthusiastic about in recent years
Its story takes place in London in 1814
Britain was at the height of the Industrial Revolution
National strength is booming
However, London under the [forbidden] lens is a dirty and bloody, which only makes people feel physically uncomfortable.
In the dilapidated alleyway, the butcher slaughters meat with a knife:
A black dog forages around, and in a large cauldron boils pieces of meat that are full of blood and water and do not know what they are:
In this environment, a transaction is about to take place. One side is Delaney, played by Mr. Tang, and the other is Draney's lawyer Soyt, who has just passed away.
What deals? It is the inheritance left by Delaney's father to his son, which needs to be handed over by Soit. The biggest part of this legacy is a wasteland on the west coast of the United States.
Of course, if the inheritance is so smoothly handed over, there will be no need for this drama to be filmed.
Why are British dramas and American dramas wonderful? Just like [House of Cards], the relationship of interests must be intricate, so as to form a plot tension and satisfy the audience's imagination of "conspiracy theories", so as to achieve a kind of "brain-burning" pleasure.
How are the interests in [taboos] intertwined?
First of all, Delaney came from Africa across the ocean. For so many years, everyone thought he was dead, and only his father had always believed that he was still alive, so he left all his property to him in his will.
However, this North American wasteland, which was once bought by Delaney's father from the Indians, called Nutka Bay, has now become an important strategic stronghold for the war between Britain and the United States, and both countries want to take advantage of it.
After the war, a Canada-United States border was demarcated, with Noutka Bay on the border. This first involves the interests of the three countries, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada.
The British royal family wanted to buy this land, and the representative sent was the East India Company.
The famous East India Company, everyone must have heard about it. The Queen had granted the East India Company a royal charter for trade in India, which directly allowed it to monopolize Indian trade for 21 years.

By the later period, the East India Company had become the de facto ruler of India, even having auxiliary ruling and military functions.
Delaney was well aware of the importance of the land that the East India Company had informed Delaney.
Here's the point! If it had mastered the door to China, the East India Company would have made it easier to dump opium into China. It was 1814, only 26 years after the Opium War of 1840.
Such an aircraft carrier-level company, as the spokesman of the British royal family and government, came out to Ask Delaney for (buying) his family property, can he be overwhelmed?
This, in turn, was involved in the interests of the East India Company.
Delaney has a half-sister who is preoccupied all day and has a relationship with her husband.
The brother-in-law hated Delaney because delaney's arrival shattered his dream of usurping his inheritance. The price of the land to be sold had been negotiated with the East India Company, but now everything was in disarray.
This further involved the interests of Delaney's sister and brother-in-law.
The interests of several parties are intertwined, and the struggle for the inheritance of this land is all explained in one episode, which shows the skill of the screenwriter and director.
Teacher Tang has been here for several years
They all seem to prefer this type
Murderous and domineering character
I want to think about when I first debuted
People also show people in the image of small fresh meat
Tom Hardy debuted as [Brothers Company].
But What makes Teacher Tang lucky is that he started his debut from a high starting point. After the series [Company of Brothers], the first screen work is the war classic [Black Hawk Down]. It didn't take long for his first Hollywood role in [Star Trek: Nemesis].
In 2010, Tom Hardy starred in Christopher Nolan's Inception, playing the pretender Eames. This name was ridiculed by fans as "a touch of wetness", and since then the elegant name of "Tang Lao Wet" has spread throughout the Earth Shenzhou.
▲The pretender "touches the wet"
Since 2011, from the boxer in [Warriors] to the villain Bane in [Batman: The Dark Knight Rises], Teacher Tang has gradually gone to the "road of no return" of the rough masters.
By 2015 [Mad Max 4: Fury Road], and last year's [Wilderness Hunter], Mr. Tang had officially labeled himself "Wild".
▲ [Wilderness Hunter] In the shape of Mr. Tang
This time [forbidden], Teacher Tang once again continued that domineering - let you scare me, Lao Tzu is not afraid, there is a kind of boldness!
With Nolan's new film [Dunkirk], which will be released in July this year, we will surely see a bloody "soup old wet" again.
[Forbidden] The heroine, Ona Chaplin, who plays Delaney's sister, is even more promising. Look at this familiar surname, yes, it is the granddaughter of Chaplin family member and comedy master Charlie Chaplin!
Moreover, she is also the great-granddaughter of Nobel Laureate Eugene O'Neill, and there is no one in the world.
▲ Charlie on the left and Ona on the right, the two of them are almost like a wooden one!
Sharp-eyed fans will find that she is the actor of Rob Stark's wife in [Game of Thrones], who unfortunately died tragically at the Blood Wedding.
She is also featured in [Black Mirror: Christmas Special].
In [Forbidden], she played delaney's sister who hid secrets in her heart and had a gloomy expression very well, which made people look forward to her next performance.
In addition, the old drama bone Jonathan Pres also participated in the play, he played the main person in charge of the East India Company.
We can be struck down by a glittering resume: the classic film "Mrs. Perón" as the president of Argentina, and in 1995 with [Carrington] won the Cannes film emperor.
Jonathan Pres next to Madonna
In [Game of Thrones], the role of the archbishop is widely known.
There is also "TV drama professional" Michael Kelly, the chief of staff in [House of Cards], who also participated in [Forbidden], but he has not seen him in the first episode, and he will play an American doctor.
Michael Kelly in [House of Cards].
In fact, there is also a hidden big coffee in the play (because her name is not marked on the Douban), her name is Franka Potant, and it may be strange to listen to the name, but the movie she has starred in is a classic level in film history.
Lola in [Lola Run] and Bourne's girlfriend in the first two films are played by her.
She plays an old bustard in [Forbidden], and when Delaney was a boy, she was opened by her. Now it's happening again:
Whether there will be a big move in the future and a heavier role can only wait and see.
Don't look at the fact that [Taboo] is only releasing one episode now
But it left us with a few unsolved cases
Delaney and his half-sister may have had an unrequited relationship, is that where the title comes from?
Is Shota, who was raised by someone else, their child?
After the test proves that his father was poisoned, how will delaney get revenge?
Coupled with what Deryni went through in Africa and how he would maneuver with the East India Company, these pits were so appetizing that the audience couldn't help but jump in.
Judging from the first episode, [Taboo] focuses on the artistry of rendering a serious atmosphere, and the overall look and feel is slightly stiff, but I hope that the future is more and more exciting.
What's more, as a series of dark revenge incest and a little complicated historical background, its topicality is enough to continue to detonate word-of-mouth after that, when not to chase at this time?
