The story takes place in a small town in the rust belt of the United States, and the protagonist Mel is a police officer who chose the job because of her father and loves it. The main line of the play revolves around the two murders and her son's suicide to see a psychiatrist to let go of her heart. In the play, except for an intentional homicide criminal, the rest are all people who can't directly say good or bad; Mel's ex-husband put his new home behind his ex-wife's house in order to take care of his daughter and grandson; Mel's daughter has been there. Trying to get out of her brother's suicide, although she was rebellious, she was actually very caring and studied well, and finally went to Berkeley; as well as her mother, best friends, and a group of teenagers. A good drama is like this. Although it is dressed in the shell of solving a case, the tone is meaningful and beautiful, and it also makes the audience think a lot. The scene that impressed me the most in the play was that the protagonist's family thought it was strange that the neighbor John was still talking and laughing after the murder, which made them unable to accept such an inconsistent personality change; I might think, how can normal people understand perverts. But the explanation in the play is that he was finally found out that he did not kill but was accused of his son. I think this kind of explanation is very good. No matter if you want to know an ordinary person or a bad person, you should not be confused and think that it is just human nature. Instead, you should argue that all his actions are for a reason. After all, mental illness needs to be judged by a doctor.
Supplement out of topic. The best friend of the girl who was killed in the play is obviously a fan of the Japanese and Korean trend, which makes me feel that the Japanese and Korean style has become so deep in the United States. In addition, many young people in the play are addicted to drugs, ranging from serious to serious; I read a book before, saying that many Wall Street elites are also addicted to drugs, and most of them are from painkillers to morphine, step by step. Having mentioned this, I just saw that the research direction of this year's Nobel Prize winners in medicine is about spicy stimuli and new painkillers. I hope there will be progress and fewer people will be exposed to drugs. Even Peters is so handsome, the inch is more lovable than the curly hair.
