Marple's charm lies in the folds of life

After watching the first season, I wanted to read the comments of the soybean oil people right away. It was also the first time that I overcame the psychological barrier and did not search for the history of the film. I don't want to say anything serious at night, and my thoughts are scattered like fallen leaves, so let's take it as a rant.

One of the original intentions of watching this film was to watch the detective story (in the form of a British drama rather than text reading). This one appeared at once, so I saved it to Baidu Cloud with the mentality of trying it out.

On the other hand, there are too many actors with familiar faces. It's the whole lineup of England! ! ! Every time I watch an episode, I'm in a state of obsession with recognizing familiar faces. . . Needless to say, the cute brother in "The Mummy" came to be a police detective, and I also want to see it!

Miss Marple is a very special detective figure. She is not an official police detective, nor is she a private detective. Private detectives also look like detectives, such as Sherlock Holmes' parlor. But as soon as she looks, she is just a kind and smart old grandmother, her actions are convenient among the elderly, and her brain is so sensitive that you can't help but dig your heart out with her (I feel that every case is such a murderer, can you grow up? Snack!), but not feeling intimidatingly threatened. Her reputation was not as invincible as Sherlock Holmes's, but of the kind that, when a case happened, was associated with a bright old lady who could see the clues, warm and a little annoying.

In each episode, there will be a police detective who cooperates with her. Those who cooperate and do not cooperate will eventually show respect and love to her. There is also an assistant in each episode, who is in the same category as her, and the unpretentious old ladies are really pleasantly surprised, making you feel more lovely than the young girls when they are young.

I haven't read the original work, but from the perspective of the play itself, the logic of each story is not complicated, and the rhythm of the storytelling is also very stable without deliberately creating a lot of suspense. But that's not the film's specialty, and I believe it's not the brilliant reasoning and suffocating suspense that it wants to highlight, otherwise Miss Marple's chicken-catching pace would be unbearable. What fascinates me most about this film is that it tries to show, from Miss Marpe's point of view, the possible sins of a peaceful life, and the joys and sorrows of everyone's life. The three stories of the first season (the corpse, the house murder, and the witnessing murder) are all crimes of love, and each person in the story has his own complex and real situation. They took off their defenses actively or passively in front of Marple Jane. Including Miss Marple herself, she also experienced the death of her lover (married) on the battlefield, and if not, she would have to make a choice between morality and love, just like the Colonel's wife. But in fact, she had made a choice at the moment of separation, so she could live peacefully and without shame, and the colonel's wife chose to kill her husband. Although this contrast is only briefly revealed at the end of the second episode, it is shocking to think about.

The life of everyone in the world is like a hastily woven cloth, where the stitches are fine and delicate, and there are many places where the stitches are rough, and it will be broken when you poke it. The cloth is also somewhat smooth and shiny, more wrinkled. The good and evil of everyone walks and spreads in the cloth, and the folds gather pain and struggle, and the joy from the wrinkles to the flat.

Miss Marple is a tenacious thread in the cloth that takes us through the world, and finally looks at the folds and the tanleys in peace and tranquility.
