Netflix is out of the blue again!
Brushing up on "Mind Hunter" in one breath, I am still unfinished, looking forward to the second season!
The sense of the times and the beauty of the camera switching are stunning, and the large and nuanced dialogue and stripped details are fascinating. The high score of Douban score 9.0 says it all...
The 10-episode series is based on John Douglas's novel Psycho Detective, written by the FBI's legendary agent, the prototype of Agent Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs, and known as the "modern Sherlock Holmes". Through meticulous psychological analysis and amazing details, the novel shows the most confusing, dangerous, and challenging process of solving major and important cases that he has encountered in his case-handling career.
A good script requires a well-configured card division. David Finch's works believe that everyone is not unfamiliar, four years ago he used "House of Cards" to help Netflix soar to the sky, "Seven Deadly Sins", "Zodiac", "Disappearing Lovers" and other crime suspense movies are his favorite.
The male protagonist Jonathan Grove has appeared in several musicals, playing Patrick in the HBO gay-themed series Looking.
The heroine Anna Tove is the heroine of "Edge of Crisis".
[Mind Hunter] is not a crime drama in the traditional sense, there is no detective and stimulating plot, and the protagonist has not even fired a shot from the beginning to the end. It reorganizes the documentary of the original case according to a reasonable fictional story line, and alternates the narrative of the visiting line, the case-solving line, and the character line, with a compact structure, rigorous conception, and meticulous logic. From the origin, run all the way to the abyss to stare back.
"If we don't understand what crazy people think, how can we catch them?"
This line in the Trailer summarizes the plot of the entire show: to explore the heart of the perpetrator to find the truth.
In the 1970s, before terms such as "serial killer" and "psychography" were invented, the FBI established the Behavioral Sciences Division (BSU), an internal body that provides training and counseling to assist in criminal investigations by analyzing cases from a behavioral and sociological perspective.
The so-called Behavioral Sciences Division (BSU) was founded with only three people — The female Doctor Wendy was in charge of technical support and insisted on using a questionnaire method to conduct surveys.
Two FBI agents: the young radical Holden and the cautious Bill, who traveled the country to interrogate serial killers, think from the perspective of criminals, and guide local police to solve cases.....
However, good swimmers drowned, and as the research progressed, Holden, Bill, Wendy and others underwent subtle changes...
Finally, you find out that Mind Hunter is not just about criminal psychology.
Of all violent crimes, serial killers and rapists are often the most incredible, frightening and difficult to catch. What the FBI has to do is to talk to these criminals and understand their psychological causes and motives.
Ed Campbell was a tall man of more than two meters tall and with an IQ of 145, and his criminal deeds were frightening: he once murdered 5 female college students by binding, stabbing, shooting, suffocation, rape, and dismemberment.
Campbell himself
He even murdered many relatives including grandparents and mothers...
He originally planned to play a game of cat and mouse with the police, but he was always at large because of his skillful modus operandi and excellent psychological qualities.
The lonely Campbell felt bored and eventually surrendered himself to the police at a phone booth.
To talk face-to-face with such a highly intelligent, calm, cruel murderer, the psychological pressure can be imagined!
Holding, who was alone, was nervous but calm, and the conversation was taken by Campbell at the beginning.
It seems that he lets you choose what you eat, drink, and talk about, but after you choose, he will naturally and unquestionably force you to accept the results of his choice.
He even made Holden, who had never eaten an egg sandwich, like this food.
To break the deadlock, Holden asked his sociology girlfriend for advice. The female doctor taught him some small skills of conversation: catching clues from each other's gestures, expressions, and postures, and trying to master his own rhythm.
And Bill also told him that in order to gain something from the interview, to understand the psychology and law of the criminal, you must have the patience to be with the devil and the snake, but you must decisively grasp the initiative of the conversation, and not be led by the prisoner's words.
On the second visit, Holden used his own technique to get Camber to start talking about his childhood experiences, criminal motives, and psychological causes—for serial killers, the motivation to kill often stems from their repressed psychology since childhood.
Coincidentally, there was a serial killing case against middle-aged and elderly women that was taking place, and Holden applied Campble's criminal psychology to this case.
He targeted a down-and-out man. This person, similar to Campbell, has been humiliated and scolded by his mother since childhood, so his anger is vented through murder...
With the case solved, Holden was known as the contemporary Sherlock Holmes!
Holden, who tasted the sweetness, was like chicken blood, and he couldn't control it. Together with Bill, he continued to interview criminals such as "high heel enthusiasts" and "school killers".
These valuable causes of crime, like a new type of weapon acquired by FBI agents, were immediately used by theory and practice to assist local police in solving cases and to find, arrest and prosecute murderers.
However, "if you want to understand perversion, you must also have a perverted psychology..."
Interviews with serial killers are often an unpredictable burden, so much so that both the original author and his FBI colleagues have inexplicably suffered from a variety of diseases, including heart disease.
In the play, the private lives of the three-person team are affected to varying degrees. Holden, in particular, has changed from his habits to his way of thinking...
His relationship with Campbell is also somewhat bizarre.
From Holden's point of view, he admired Campbell's humor and wit, but he was not ashamed of his evil deeds, and felt that he was very different from him.
In Campbell's view, they are all the same kind of people, but they are on different positions. He regarded Holden as a friend, wrote to him repeatedly asking to meet, and finally got what he wanted in the extreme way of suicide.
Holden, whose career has been hit hard and has been broken up, comes to the hospital and is hit by Ed with a series of "Are we friends?" "You owe me an explanation" "But you want to be an expert" said dumbly...
Campbell's last hug, like the last straw that crushed the camel, made Holden collapse in an instant...
As Nietzsche put it:
"Those who fight the devil should beware of becoming the devil as a result. If you stare at the abyss for a long time, the abyss will also stare at you."
