The original two seasons of "Paper House" set off a crazy boom after Netflix's global broadcast, so Netflix took over and continued to develop the more ambitious three, four or five seasons, playing the exciting robbery story of this "righteous thief group" bigger and more exciting. It must be said that after watching the first two seasons of "Paper House" expectations are higher, expect more unexpected surprise twists and plots, the third and fourth seasons in the rhythm and breaking point to create a good, but the flaws caused by the continuous introduction of new characters are becoming more and more obvious, the following will be divided into positive and negative sides to talk about my analysis of the new story!
The most popular part of "Paper House" is the constant surprise of the police and gangsters, and after the third and fourth seasons move the scene to the Bank of Spain, it requires new strategies, new teams and new goals, which make people rekindle the enthusiasm of watching "Paper House" for the first time! Beginning with Rio's arrest by Interpol, the third season continues to focus on the main theme of "people against corrupt government" and wraps the main theme of the story with a more frantic "robbery of the national bank". In addition to the elaborate robbery plan, the reason why "Paper House" really became popular is that the sense of resistance to the current situation in the world today, hidden under the plot, is the element that can arouse the audience's recognition, which is also clearly presented in the new story: for the people, the robbers are heroes, and the country is an irresponsible mediocre evil existence.
The opportunity to build and infiltrate the bank with a mass riot is really as long as the "Paper House" group of robbers can get it, and the professor successfully lets the team members enter the bank in a posture of fighting, avoiding the conflict in the way of four or two thousand pounds, and subduing the security team to obtain the dominance of the bank. From the first moment he entered the bank, the professor's strategy was carried out in two ways, on the one hand, to obtain state secrets as a bargaining chip to negotiate Rio, and on the other hand, to melt gold and move towards the ultimate theft policy. The method of successfully rescuing Rio was based entirely on the premise of the people's great distrust of the government, and the countermeasures conceived were to gamble with the police after the risky consequences of the possible further riots of the people after the secret revelations. Here, "Paper House" further strengthens the impression of the "Dalí Mask" as a symbol of justice, it seems to be enough to replace the "V Freak" mask of the new era symbol, if "V Freak" represents the fearlessness of the nameless, "Dalí Mask" represents the united strength of the people.
In the fourth season, the professor came to the scene of the looting in order to confirm whether Lisbon was really alive, and the mood of the people who were agitated at the scene stabilized his original calm heart and was able to smoothly divide the details of the implementation of the Paris escape plan, so the popular will was really an important factor in the victory or defeat of the plunder of "Paper House". The whole plot of the Professor and Lisbon escaping from the forest, being arrested, and hearing the final escape is the most gripping part of the three seasons, because the two characters have the most stable and emotional depth, and no other character with a love drama has a changing state of mind. There are a sense of disappointment full of hunting dramas, there are infallible spy-to-spy methods, and there are also gods to draw a pull and wonderful ending, build a wall to intercept the prison car and return to the bank posing as a special forces is really how to guess the way to guess!
Another element of success in the three seasons of "Paper House" is the portrayal of the villain Ciela, who probably has no more conflicting police design than the "highly intelligent pregnant woman killer", and her cold-blooded cruelty and surprising strategy make the police battle more interesting, because neither side can completely guess the opponent's next card. Ciela's cold-blooded debut at the end of seasons three and four, bringing in nairobi's son in order to shoot her and confessing to all the illegal methods that dragged the NSA into the water, all illustrate that she is a fearful figure who blows up enemies and even allies by all means. After the fourth season, Siela found the Professor's hiding place, but it is difficult to say that The same perpetrator Ziela will arrest the Professor or offer a quid pro quo, and if Siela does leave the force, The Paper House Season 5 will have to find the next more vicious villain to replace her.
And the strongest villain in the fourth season, the undead security captain Gandhia, is also portrayed appropriately successfully, he seems to be like a dry-talking version of Killer 47, whether it is in a gun battle, capturing Tokyo to the backlash with Berlin, he has a villain aura in every scene, posing a huge threat to the protagonists. Among them, I especially like to recall the arrangement that Berlin insisted on when he went to the Bank of Spain, which compensated for the lack of the two characters who could not duel in the real plunder, and satisfied that fans might imagine: "If Berlin were here at this time, what would he do with Gandía?" The dry addiction.
Next, let's talk about the flaws in the three seasons of "Paper House": the laying out of the characters and the set story. This part, which is best done as long as the professor and Berlin, describes more of the brothers' plans to rob the past, and also gives fans the opportunity to continue to see the dead handsome Berlin presented in the memory. But the set stories of new characters such as Palermo, Bogotá, Marseille, Manila, etc. are a bit sloppy, Palermo's rebellious and power-grabbing fickle temperament is reasonable but excessively deliberate, Bogotá's love affair with Nairobi is not laid out, Marseille's relationship with the professor will make the wedding scene in the fourth season look more reasonable if it can also be preached in the third season, and Manila's presentation is like a new teammate who has to make up a new teammate because of lack of manpower. Such an approach allows the audience to continue to love the characters together, and there is no satisfied motivation to establish feelings with the new characters, such as Ann's death of the old characters together to make the new characters more existential will be the test of the next season, and the leader of the perfect balance is the content of the first five seasons of "Game of Thrones".
In addition, if you take a moment to compare the first and second seasons with the third and fourth seasons, you will find a set of formulas that are repeated again and again, love entanglement, internal strife for power, unnecessary casualties caused by pig teammates, and returning to the most dangerous places after escaping, etc., which will inevitably make people a little disappointed in the plot. As far as the third and fourth seasons of "Paper House" are concerned, in fact, if Adullo and Palermo are removed, the whole plundering plan will be much smoother, of which Adullo is a clown character who is completely deliberately created to make us hate, and Palermo wants to learn from Berlin's good and evil temperament but quite a failed model. Adullo, the destabilizing factor, is used to create friction between Denver and Stockholm, and then further affect Rio and Tokyo, Palermo is supposed to replace berlin's field leaders, but the repetition of characteristics makes it impossible to empathize with or echo, unlike Berlin, which has its own set of rules for good and evil.
To sum up, the super popularity of "Paper House" has made it away from the simple brain-burning wisdom drama in the first two seasons, and has become more like a carnival party where the audience and the characters are together, the audience wants to see more creative robberies, the crew lets the characters have more unlimited room for development, and the two sides push up the climax of the drama together until the passion of the blood reaches its peak.
