Hello everyone, I'm root
Speaking of British dramas, the editor likes the "opening black" skills that British screenwriters can use maturely in any type of drama. For example, the "Black Mirror" series, which everyone likes, explores the impact of technological development on human life in a black humorous and ironic way.
I believe that many people still remember the heavy taste plot of Prime Minister Pig.
Today we come to a little light, to introduce you to a pseudo-documentary comedy from "Black Mirror" screenwriter Charlie Brooke - "RipPing The History of Britain"
We will follow a virtual documentary presenter Cunk to trace British history.
"Today Britain is at the fork in the road of the times, and its own people are asking such questions. What is this country, who we are and why?"
Cunk seems to be a serious beginning, and in less than a minute immediately blackened the famous British singer Ed Sheeran like an ancient human.
Churchill is jokingly trapped in the pound sterling.
The first episode begins with Origins, where Cunk sits in a movie theater watching a video of the cosmic formation effect and narrating. There was no time yet, everything in the universe had not yet been formed, the world was empty, boring like the city of Plymouth in the southwest of England.
The Big Bang created the entire universe, which may have been deafening, but the ear didn't exist at that time, and the computer thought the big bang was like that, but the eye didn't exist at that time. Let's not delve into it.
Follow Cunk to the Dinosaur Museum, the only remaining Angry Rex Tyrannosaurus. The reason it is angry is that it is the only one left. People wonder why dinosaurs went extinct. The answer is obvious: because they are trapped in museums malnourished and hungry!
But it doesn't matter, the dinosaurs in the exhibition hall that are so thin that only the skeleton is left will be replaced by other animals. Take humans, for example. (It's a hoaxful explanation for the extinction of the dinosaurs and the emergence of humans!) ）
In the Stone Age, people used stones as the most basic weapons and tools. And it is very valuable to say that these stones are buried in the ground, so Cunk interviewed professors of archaeology and asked: Why did the Stone Age people bury the stones in the ground, for fear of being stolen?
The professor replied: That's when we found them.
In the Iron Age, people invented the iron straw, and also invented to use this to poke each other. In order to ensure that the right people were stabbed, the British formed the most primitive gang, that is, the tribe. Tribes are like many gangs that like to scribble around.
(Actually the Giant Statue of Senah Abbas, said to have existed for more than two thousand years)
In an era without social software, the most efficient way for people to spread such photos was in the mountains.
The Giant Statue of Senah Abbas marks the birth of British art, which has had a profound impact on future generations.
Soon the ancient Romans invaded England, and they had planned to go to Scotland but felt that it was not necessary. And before the invasion of England, the locals were taught to speak Latin and to wash clothes...
But the local indigenous Celtics in Britain rose up in resistance, and the war was fierce, that is, the reproduction on the screen was not in line with historical facts. Because the Celts went to war naked and painted patterns on their bodies to summon the gods to protect them.
When the Celts saw the armor of the Romans, they realized how stupid they were. So the war was lost.
And how did the British become independent? It was because the Romans suddenly remembered that they should rush back to their hometown to clean up the ruins of civilization they had left behind.
Before the show was born, the idea originally came from Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe, written and hosted by Charlie Brooker. Previously, he also launched the short films "Shakespeare the Egg Pulling" and "The History of the Egg-Pulling Christmas".
Deconstruct history and celebrity with modern entertainmentism. In the way of documentary, the real historical materials are mixed with the screenwriter's brain hole, resulting in contrasting laughter. In addition, "word games" are also the screenwriter's favorite.
When telling history, don't forget to insert a spit on the movie. For example, the movie "Braveheart" was complained by the screenwriter to tell a story that no one knows except the Scots, and the plot is a Scottish remake of "Dancing with Wolves".
Black up his own culture is even more ruthless, and the British like to watch bear fighting cockfighting is almost equivalent to animal cruelty. In addition to liking animal cruelty, he also likes to tell butt jokes, and the culmination of butt jokes is Chaucer (the masterpiece "Canterbury Stories").
The best part is this interview about the Black Death.
At the end of the episode, Cunk doesn't have enough time to talk about the famous Wars of the Roses. The historian was forced to summarize in three words, and a timer was taken out to stop.
Such a serious and bold distortion of the country's history and culture can be done by the British. At present, the drama has reached a Douban score of 9.0, with a total of five episodes of about thirty minutes each. Each episode combines current pop culture around a different theme to introduce you to the history of Britain at different periods and stages. Interested friends do not miss out ~
