On the rationality of the plot setting

Many people say that they look very angry, but it is not necessary. Judging the plot should be based on rationality, rather than judging from the perspective of the male protagonist based on his likes and dislikes. To a certain extent, when the character, the background of the times, and the pre-story are established, the story is not left to the author to arrange and walk freely, but is determined by these established factors. The author can choose which established factors have an impact on the later plot, so many The plots of "annoying" are actually reasonable and realistic. A very important point of PB's drama is to combine the background of the times, and with the strengthening of Tommy's power, the pattern has continued to expand. If the plot is divorced from reality and lacks grounding, then it is truly irritating.

Let me talk about Michael and Gina first. Opening lightning strikes, economic crisis. When you hit the screen in 1929, you know what is going to happen. The Great Depression is a historical event that cannot be avoided. With Tommy's transfer of Michael to the United States to develop business last season, the Shelby family will inevitably be affected by the historical background. Although Tommy's wisdom is better than countless financial tycoons, he has seen everything and ordered Michael to sell, and Michael did not, which is also very reasonable. On the one hand, Michael's intelligence and ambition have long been prepared, and he has a high self-esteem; on the other hand, he must have a lot of decision-making initiative in the United States, and he will not be affected by the fate of foreign monarchs. In the end, like many elites, it is reasonable to make wrong decisions. You cannot criticize him for making wrong judgments from the perspective of God. In the last episode of the family meeting, Michael asked to focus on the American market and let the "older generation" (in fact, the same generation, but the age difference is too large) retreat to the second line, which is also his clever, cunning, confident and proud performance again. From his point of view, it is also very difficult for him to muster the courage and waste his hard work to challenge Tommy. Challenges to authority are praised on many occasions. Moreover, the younger generation and the American market were indeed the direction of development of the world at that time, which is actually true. As for Gina, she has a strong background and suspects that she has a deal with Mosley. There must be something tricky, but her support and encouragement in the matter of Michael's position proves that they are very suitable for marriage.

Let’s talk about Finn. Very early this season explained the similarities between Finn and Michael. Last season, Finn was an innocent boy who just broke the ground and never wanted to hire prostitutes. At the beginning of this season, he told the audience that he was assimilated quickly, just like Michael. Michael also went from a good teenager who had just entered the house to smoking, drinking, drugs and messing around. Before Finn had too few scenes, this season, for the sake of the following text, we must first explain his transition from season to season, so at the beginning, he emphasized his style of life. In addition, he has to participate in shooting activities, which is exactly the same as Michael's experience. The family tried their best to protect and prevent them from getting involved in family black behaviors, but they felt that participating in the underworld was to participate in the real core affairs of the family, and it is also a man who has the ability and means should not escape, so they have to be White himself plunged into the muddy water. Even the two seemingly "casual" marriage decisions have similarities. Such an explanation clarified the similarities between Finn and Michael and laid the groundwork for the following plot. Michael saw the similarities between the two and agreed with each other. He expressed his willingness to create a great cause with Finn as a new generation; Finn also confided in shocking remarks to outsiders in order to show that he has finally become a big man involved in the core affairs of the family. ". This sentence sounds too cool. When Michael went to kill the pastor in the third season, he also lost time because he wanted to do big things on his own, which caused six people on the train to be killed unnecessarily. It's all young people who can cause losses, but Finn has a bigger problem. (It is still unclear how much effect Finn's sentence actually played, because there are no details in this sentence, and it is impossible for the opponent to know the location of the sniper, the time of the sniper, and the ambush of Gold from this sentence.)

What I have always puzzled the most about Linda is how she and Arthur are together. Aside from the gangster perspective of the drama, a normal good girl should avoid the Razor Party. This is why Grace is willing to be with Tommy sincerely (in fact, Grace also hopes that Tom will wash his hands as soon as possible and only do legal business). Linda is not only a good citizen but also a religious believer. It is difficult for me to guess why she is with Arthur, but after marriage, it is a normal choice to hope that Arthur stays out of the law. In the third season, she and Tom talked about the amount of the loot and it was nothing more than a small calculation of how much money you can make. If you want to leave the organization more moisturized, an ordinary person's normal profit-seeking behavior. If her pre-marriage plan was to share Arthur's money and then launder him, it would be a roundabout way. Judging from the facts after marriage, he was contaminated with the gang habit, and his life was in danger at every turn, and life became a mess; the "lover" was disfigured by the crazy husband who couldn't control it. Even if the cheating was true, what Arthur did was true. Too dark. Seeing too much of these things, I naturally want to escape, instead of thinking of the rich profits of the underworld and what gratitude to Tommy. Whether Linda dare to shoot Arthur or not is unknown. These two people are the strangest love and killing I have ever seen.

Finally, talk about the rationality of Tommy and Lizzie's marriage. On the one hand, as mentioned earlier, the good girls generally avoid the gang. Even if they are married, they will continue to ask to quit like Linda, causing troubles (repeat: even Grace requested this, but died too much. Early contradictions have not yet appeared). Therefore, it is difficult for a woman with a good family background to live steadily with him, not to mention that there is a class gap between May and him that is repeatedly emphasized in the play. At the end of the third season, Tom said frankly that Lizzie could comfort him the most (the fifth episode of the fifth season showed us the picture), indicating that although the two have no love, they can communicate emotionally and can reach an understanding in the underworld behavior. On the other hand, Tommy is a lone ranger, dictator, and needs to control everything. He is indeed the brain of the family, with arrogant and independent capital, and facts have proved that it is often better to let him end in dictatorship. From the first episode of the first season, I said to Arthur, "I'm thinking, you don't need to think". In the past few seasons, his family has repeatedly said that Tom is always alone, and most of the time he doesn't tell his family what he is doing. In the third season, John complained about why he listened to Tom in everything, and even killed his innocent teacher. As a brother, he was a complete tool man (he was finally killed because of his soft heart). This season, Tom kept asking "Why no one is obedient? How can I let you listen to me?" These are all manifestations of Tommy's arbitrary control. Looking at the women in the whole show, Lizzie is the most obedient, washing hands for him (Tom used eight pounds to test whether Lizzie can do this for John in the first season, but the result is no. This is the fundamental reason why he opposes this marriage contract. It’s not Lizzie’s birth itself, so it doesn’t conflict with his choice of Lizzie), for him to return to his old career, stay by his side when all the betrayed relatives left (the other person left is Michael, he sticks to his chosen career, he has ambitions, What I want in my heart is always a career, and never like other people's pastoral life or going far away with Polly). In the fifth season, Tommy said that Lizzie is his own property, and he is still paying her in his head. It is as if Lizzie was rented before and shared with countless customers, but now Lizzie is bought out, his private Property is inviolable by others. Lizzie is completely under his control, and her background also determines that she is willing to walk down the dark road with Tommy. Tommy can frankly tell Lizzie what he thinks of her, and Lizzie also said that I can accept everything you do; this

    The family had a little better life and thought about breaking up. They were all a bunch of white-eyed wolves~ Sam Claflin is still too tender, and with Cillian Murphy, the aura has weakened by n levels, and sure enough, Mr. Tang was completely on the right track when he appeared~ Oh~ those charming blue eyes, already broken 5.0

    The fifth season continues the problems of the fourth season. Other aspects are excellent, but the plot is flawed. Not only is the saintly bitch drug addict daughter-in-law good, but the real bitch's daughter-in-law is also good, and the cousin is even more good. Family disputes occupy one episode, and the second one. When an opponent appears, you can drive directly to the door of the house even if you have a broken arm. The boss's countermeasure is to use a submachine gun to fight with you...
