We generally define the drama, there are several major elements:
The actors' acting skills are bursting, the plot makes people guess what is going to happen next, if the shooting texture is good, the picture is good and the soundtrack is good, it is even more divided.
The most typical drama in these years is "Westworld".
Touting from public accounts
And the drama we are going to recommend today also perfectly meets the above points. There is crime, there is suspense, there is violence, anyway, just one word: look! That's it
This is the new play written and directed by Steve Conrad, the screenwriter of "When Happiness Comes Knocking":
Infinite Grace Limited
▼
As a divine drama, "Infinite Grace Limited" gives people a special texture from the first second.
The director set the story of this play in New Mexico on the border between the United States and Mexico, so we can see a lot of big scenes of yellow sand flying at the beginning of the play.
This kind of scene frequently appears in the Coen brothers' Western movies and American dramas such as "Breaking Bad" and "True Love Doesn't Die".
And this scene is often accompanied by corpses that need to be buried. The setting of this special scene also left a foreshadowing for the occurrence of violent and bloody stories later.
Stills from Breaking Bad
When the foreshadowing is buried, the story begins.
At the beginning of the story, it is very quick to cut in, telling the audience that the protagonists of the story are ready to commit crimes.
Criminal Number One is the male protagonist James, who was originally a firefighter. However, Ben was a saving profession, but he "killed" his teammates.
During a mission, he left early because his mask was damaged, leaving the teammate who had taken over him to extinguish the fire on the spot. So the teammate died, leaving 11 daughters without fathers.
The reason why he joined the fraud was to make some money and give it to these 11 little girls so that his heart would not be so painful.
Criminal Number Two, the mastermind and proposer of the deception: Paul Brown.
In a bar, he meets James, who is drunk, and the two "talk very happily." So he encouraged James to join forces with him to defraud his father and mother, and called it a beautiful name: for Skywalker.
Under Paul's account, James learns that Paul's parents were not good people, and his father, Byron Brown, was a pastor who used his profession to defraud more than 4 million believers. The two hit it off and decided to defraud the "bad dad" together to share the loot.
As for how to scam, Paul has already prepared a set of procedures:
First of all, James must first become an addict, the kind of real drug addict, because if you cheat, Paul's parents can tell. In fact, from here on, there is a foreshadowing, and Paul's parents are definitely not so easy to deal with.
After becoming an addict, they only need to lie down next to the road they will pass on every day, because they will not "see death and not save", and will take him home to help him rehabilitate.
James, who is inside, only needs to find a reason to trick them into a Mexican prison, buy a Mexican prison guard to find a reason to lock them up, and then buy a forensic doctor to give them a fake death certificate. Then he pretended to be Paul, took the death certificate, and took out the "inheritance" of the two men. When all was said and done, mexican prison guards released the two men home.
The scheme is perfect, no one is really hurt, and the money can be cheated.
However, the story of Infinite Grace Limited is really not so simple.
The thing that makes people hooked by this drama is that if you don't see the end, you don't know how the plot will be reversed. In short, the whole story is a "high-level deception within deception, serial case within a crime".
Although niche, this drama has a good rating at home and abroad
As we said earlier, these two old men are not good stubble, and the plan soon changes:
Although, as Paul had expected, his parents took James home to rehabilitate. And James also used the excuse that paul, the son of the old man, was held in a Mexican prison and needed them to communicate personally to release people, and led them to a Mexican prison, where they were detained, and even their fake death certificates were obtained.
But! Man is not as good as heaven!
Because there were so many criminals in Mexican prisons, another unsuspecting prison guard locked up a new criminal with two elderly people. And this young man who was not afraid of death actually "flirted" with Paul's mother in front of Paul's father, so Paul's father lost his temper and directly beat him to death with military boots!
Just because someone else can beat someone to death if they say a little flirtatious words to their wives? The true identity of Paul's father was thus revealed, and it turned out that he was a ruthless man with a lot of ex-crime:
This was miserable, originally thought that the fraud was a bit greedy bad old man, did not expect to accidentally provoke a cruel role.
Also, the murderous Byron Brown needs to be transferred to another prison where the murderer is being held, so James' previous forgery of his death false certificate will also be discovered.
To make matters worse, in order to trick James into pretending to be Paul Brown to get a driver's license, he was targeted by a federal police officer who claimed that Paul was related to the death of a teenage girl many years ago...
The stall with father Byron Brown and son Paul Brown makes James's original life more complicated and chaotic, when all the troubles erupt at the same time, can James still get that cup of soup from the two fathers and sons?
Fans who often watch the film must also know that as long as the first variable appears, because of the butterfly effect, all the original plans will begin to move to the edge of loss of control. And that's why the show we said earlier keeps reversing.
On the Internet, many people only watched the first ten minutes, and felt that this drama was a bit stuffy and procrastinating, in fact, "Infinite Grace Co., Ltd." really belongs to the kind of drama that needs to be quieted down and not playing mobile phones. Among them, the highlights include the showdown between the two male protagonists of this play:
The actor James plays: Jimmy Simpson, people who like to watch American dramas must often see his familiar face, "House of Cards", "Crime Scene Investigation", "24 Hours", "Carnival", "Philadelphia is always sunny days", "Suspect Tracking", "Newsroom" and other popular niche American dramas, there are his cameos.
And what he really impresses people should be "Westworld", the innocent William who treats people sincerely and pursues justice in the first half of the film, and the dark William whose faith in the second half is completely crushed and the extreme darkness that erupts from the heart is in stark contrast, which makes people completely impressed by his acting skills.
This time, he once again challenged the Western drama, although the appearance in this drama was quite similar to "Westworld", the characters were completely different. This time, Jimmy succeeds in portraying the gloomy and silly criminal James, who is guilty and needs to keep a clear head, whose plans are disrupted and who wants to think of new ways to make up for it, just right, and thinks that this is also thanks to Jimmy's many years of dragon set career.
In addition to Jimmy Simpson, the show's other protagonist, Byron Brown, is also played by a multi-year dragon suit guy, and he is Ben Kingsley. The 79-year-old British uncle starred in the movie [Gandhi] that year, and through the role of Gandhi, won the Best Actor Award at the 55th Academy Awards, the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Dramatic Film, the British Academy Film Award for Best Actor, and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor and other awards.
After that, he started various movies, various character attempts, and his play path was very wide. Serious, funny, decent, villain can be played, and the role modeling is also very rich. Although Byron Brown, played by Uncle In the play this time, although at first it seemed that the years were quiet and the soulmate wife helped people to detoxify, but when he took off his horror mask, it still made people feel a hairy heart.
Many people say that they saw the shadow of the Coen brothers in the "Infinite Grace Co., Ltd." drama. Indeed, from the cinematography and the lines to the human setting, this drama gives people a sense of high-level black humor.
Like most Western film villains, every "bad guy" in the show has a darker past, and that past, the director filmed it in black and white tones.
Whether it is a dark childhood or a knot that cannot be passed, each protagonist has a story behind it that forces it into a "neurosis". Take the protagonist James, for example, since the death of his comrade-in-arms, he has been living in the shadow of this matter, although the dialogue between the protagonists in the play is not deliberately emphasized, but in the different scenes where James appears, it presents the image of a "firefighter". At first, the audience will feel inexplicable, but as the story progresses, they can also feel james's guilt about killing his comrades.
The protagonists in "Infinite Grace Co., Ltd." These intimate stories, although dog blood, but the creators never deliberately render, but slowly penetrate through details, so that you unconsciously feel sorry for them in the process of watching the play, and the explanation of these backgrounds also makes the "perverted behavior" of these protagonists become reasonable.
Byron Brown, who killed people with boots, grew up in an orphanage, and in order to survive better, he developed a fierce personality full of lies from an early age
At the beginning of watching this drama, Xiao E still wondered, such a dark drama, is actually [when happiness comes knocking], [Miracle Boy] kind of special sunny positive energy of the screenwriter Steve Condra self-directed, it is really not human appearance (his psychology is actually very dark), but when the story happens to the later stage, you will gradually find that although "Infinite Grace Co., Ltd." at first glance is very sad, it still reflects the positive energy of the director and screenwriter.
For example, the forensic doctor who helped James write a suspended death certificate, the reason why he colluded was to save money to become the first astronaut in Mexico after training. Although this is a bit politically incorrect, isn't this dream of the adult who works hard for his dream compared to the little boy in [Wonder Boy] who dreams of becoming an astronaut? Even the former has a bit of a feeling of mud without staining.
Infinite Grace Limited
[Miracle Boy]
At the end of the article, let's return to the discussion of the divine drama at the beginning of the article, in fact, the biggest reason why "Infinite Grace Co., Ltd." in addition to the story and the power of the main creator can be called a divine drama is that this drama seems to use a cold humor to describe the so-called absurd story, but it is actually a kind of irony of reality.
For example, the irony of today's children's addiction to mobile phones and the setting of the plot of whether there is an overcorrection of child crimes are not exaggerated versions of reality.
Watching the chicken soup screenwriter begin to scatter black dog blood, after all, it is also an output of life observation and thinking. The drama "Infinite Grace Limited", although niche, is indeed the most unmissable drama this summer.
Uncle Paul Brown, who was imprisoned in order to try on underwear and was mistaken for a pedophilic pervert, the screenwriter also used his story to ironically that the definition of child crime is now somewhat overcorrected.
