A few days ago, the fourth season of the new divine drama "Sherlock", Sir picked it up for you, the first episode was deviated, I don't know if I want to watch it later.
However, "Super Sense Hunting" will not wait until May.
Game of Thrones is not going to be until June.
Westworld may have to wait until next year.
Ah, is the period of the divine drama empty window coming?
No, HBO has released a big move -
Big Little Lies
Big Little Lies
The new trailer was recently revealed, and I didn't want to wait for a second just by watching the trailer.
Why?
Listen to Sir slowly:
First of all, the cast is unusually luxurious.
Two Oscar-winning actresses: Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon on the same stage.
Yes, you read that right, goddess Nicole, who was born with a movie face, actually came to act in a TV series.
Prior to this, Nicole had only acted in a TV series once in her nearly thirty-year acting career. It was still 27 years ago, when I first entered the industry, I shot "Innocence" in Australia.
So this time, it's definitely a big deal.
In order to star in the show, Nicole turned down the role of the commercial blockbuster "Wonder Woman".
Reese also pushed out "Shrinking Up," starring Matt Damon and Kristin Wegg.
In addition to these two actresses, there is also "Divergent" actress Sherlyn Woodley, a two-time Oscar-nominated veteran actor Laura Dunn.
In a women's play, the male protagonist is also well chosen, is Alexander Skarsgaard, who became popular in "True Love Like Blood".
So the stars are gathered. You can lick the screen again.
Speaking of actors, we have to talk about the excellence of the production team.
Today's powerful actresses can not only act, but also produce.
No, Nicole and Reese joined their own companies (Blossom Films and Pacific Standard) as producers.
It's not the first time Thatsay has served as a producer. Remember David Finch's invincible black "Gone Lover" and her starring role in "Into the Wilderness"? In fact, the producers behind the scenes are all Reese.
This time, Rexella came to Nicole, and after reading the original book overnight, she immediately flew to Australia and contacted the author to obtain the copyright.
What a two fiery women.
The original story is also not trivial, it is the novel of the same name by Australian female author Leanne Moriarty, the number one New York Times bestseller - you can imagine how fierce the copyright dispute is.
The two giants of HBO and Netflix competed for it, and HBO won in the end.
Directed by Jean-Marc Varley, who has produced classics such as Dallas Buyers Club, Broken Life, and Into the Wilderness.
Screenwriter David M. E. Kelly is also quite bullish, and is the main writer of the American drama "The True Colors of Lawyers".
With such a strong cast and production team, Sir can basically conclude:
This drama is one of the most anticipated new dramas of the year.
Aside from the trailer, HBO hasn't released much information yet, but it can still be seen as a "dark comedy."
There are criminal elements, but also full of irony and fun.
The story revolves around the lives of three young mothers, played by Nicole, Sherlyn and Reese.
Their children had just started kindergarten and became friends.
Life looks perfect, but the mysterious murder at the parents' party shatters the calm of life.
Judging from the trailer, it is still HBO's consistent yellow and violent. Key Elements -
sex.
In the short 1-minute trailer, there are at least four different passion scenes, accompanied by a faint gasp.
Yes, it's very HBO. Estimating the large scale of infidelity and stealing is essential.
enigma.
The original novel focuses on family relationships and describes the frightening daily life of marriage. Therefore, the painting style of this play is also full of suspense, as if everyone is hiding secrets.
In fact, the clever design of the poster details also reveals the mystery plot of this drama -
On the surface of "it's a wonderful life", the bottom is "it's a wonderful lie".
murder.
The trailer ends with gunshots, but it's not yet known who killed whom... Anyway, marriage plus a little blood crime, proper.
It is said that the inspiration for the novel was that the author heard an interview on the radio about domestic violence and abuse.
Could it be another Vanishing Lover? Coupled with its very dark picture, Sir can't help but think of "Crime Night Run" not long ago, the thick crime and suspense atmosphere, people shudder.
The soundtrack of this dark picture is the song "papa was a rolling stone" by the Black Choir Temptation Band in the United States in the 60s, which belongs to the enthusiastic and unrestrained jazz.
It feels like the show will be full of style while being full of dangers (you must know that HBO always plays), which also emphasizes the temperament of "dark comedy".
Because "Big Little Lies" is a limited drama, there is only one season at present, a total of seven episodes. It will premiere on February 19.
Speaking of which, it is time to popularize the difference between Miniseries and Limited Series. The former only shoots one season, is more than 6 hours long, and has more than two episodes, such as "Company of Brothers".
The limited drama will not exceed the length of a single season of a standard American drama, but it is possible to shoot a second and third season to continue the story. For example, Under the Dome.
And the "HBO + Film Queen / Movie Emperor + Miniseries / Limited Drama" model, generally are boutique, after all, there are pearls in front -
"True Detective" and "Illusory Life".
Oscar-winning film emperor, walking voice actor Matthew McConaughey won the film emperor on the front foot with "Dallas Buyers Club", and the back foot went to shoot "True Detective", and the male protagonist also had Woody Harrison, who was nominated for two Oscars.
This netizen said that many people watched "True Detective".
I asked the heavens, why is this drama so bad? @Mr. Koala
And Kate Winslet, the actress who has always been favored by the Oscars, also starred in the mini-series "Fantasy Floating Life" in 2011, and "Wood" in "Westworld" as a mother and daughter.
The show was also critically acclaimed, receiving multiple Golden Globe nominations, and Kate took a film queen.
These two dramas can fully prove that the output of "HBO + Film Queen/ Movie Emperor + Miniseries / Limited Drama" is a rare conscience drama, if not a divine drama.
Although the story structure of these dramas is not larger than that of "Game of Thrones" and "Westworld".
Big Little Lies is about the marriage and family of three women.
"True Detective" tells the story of two detectives solving a case.
"The Phantom World" is about the mother-daughter relationship of a family.
But the point of HBO cattle is that even if you tell a small story, you can shoot the big picture of life.
When Sir watched "True Detective" and "Phantom Floating Life", the most amazing thing was HBO's unique narrative tension -
Restraint, concentration, and even slowness in laying out a lot of details, like an old man who has forgotten the passage of time is telling you a story.
And after the thick preparation, the climax is called a shock.
For example, the main line of "True Detective" is that Rust and Marty are two detectives investigating the case, but in fact, there is a dark line - Rust and Marty, as individuals, struggle in the difficulties of their respective lives, through spiritual darkness and loss, and seek redemption and liberation.
The mysterious case in the play is more like an introduction, leading to the real theme of "True Detective":
Since the beginning of Genesis, the oldest story of mankind is the battle between darkness and light.
Such a battle is not only a contest between criminals and detectives, but also a battle between two forces divided by Rust itself.
So in the last episode, Rust walks into the Chamber of Secrets, and the suspense is revealed. At the moment of his life, he looked up and saw the cosmic nebula.
So he had an epiphany, and only then did he have that classic line:
You know, about the starry sky, you're mistaken
Before, there was only darkness in this world. I would say that it is the light that prevails
You know, you’re looking at it wrong , the sky thing.
Once there was only dark, If you ask me, the light is winning.
A drama that can rise from a small story to a big mood with eternal meaning is exactly where HBO breaks the bull.
This kind of movie-watching feeling is too shocking, Sir is looking forward to being shocked by HBO more than once -
In February, "Big Little Lies", not seen or scattered.
