Everyone is talking about BOSS, but the screen style of the play is also worth savoring

When I started chasing "True Detective", this new HBO drama did not have much popularity. I originally wanted to position it in the category of niche suspense dramas, but after five episodes, I found that it was wrong because of its entire march. It's still relatively popular. I think it's not very new in creating suspense. There are many places where you feel familiar. As a medium-length drama with only 8 episodes/season, it does not have the sharp rhythm of the current mainstream suspense-solving drama. The protagonists do not speak like a barrage. Press pause, instead, they are always driving slowly or walking slowly. But I like this style very much. Many people on the Internet have already conducted in-depth analysis of the suspenseful part of the show. Instead, I don’t care about this part. I like the background style of this show, just as I like Matsumoto Kiyoshi. Zhang's mystery is the same.

The picture quality of this drama is very nostalgic. It adopts a film-like shooting style. The filter effect is very simple. The corpse is not bloody. Instead, it chooses to kneel in silence in the center of the screen. I even analyzed her skin. In the air-dried soil, all attention was drawn to the environment around the corpse. The color of the picture seems to be covered with a layer of gray, as if back to ten years ago.

By the way, its OP song is so flavorful, it has a black modern feel. From its OP, it can be seen that the main theme of the show is still slow. Its shots are often pulled far away. The protagonists’ cars are lonely and slowly driving on the thousands of miles of highways, which can especially catch the audience’s mind. There are pictures of western cowboys, but unfortunately, this is a story that happened in the south.

Going back to the story itself, this may be a case with a religious plot, similar to "White Church", of course, there is no such savage scene as "White". Religious color has always been the biggest difference between the West and ours in suspense drama. Speaking of Asian reasoning, I still have to talk about Japanese mystery novels, but even in Japanese reasoning circles, it is more of a deviating humanity that portrays the murderer as an individual. In the West, as long as there is a religious color, the murderer's extreme is not just as an individual as a starting point, his extreme is integrated into the religious extreme, crazy and cruel. Cases like this type can be very crazy in a fast-paced reasoning feast, which makes people watch very cool. It seems to be watching a Hollywood popcorn blockbuster, but after watching it, who can guarantee that you will remember it a month later Something.

I especially like the reasoning method of this show, which makes people feel that this is reality. There are wrong reasoning, and even when the effort is wasted, but it is very real, showing a real process of solving the case. Among them are the anxiety that the case has not progressed, and the shame of being replaced by others, which greatly characterize the characters of the protagonists, rather than mass production with facial makeup.

In the final analysis, I still like that the show can end smoothly according to the current rhythm, don't be overcranked, and don't be procrastinated because of the popularity of the masses.
