What is it like to spend 19 years in prison with white walls? From pimples on face to middle-aged uncle: the best time of my life, missing Billie Jean and the spacewalk, MJ's second three-peat, financial tsunami, Iraq war, Apple going public, and America's first black president scenery tenure. Instead, there are jumping philosophical remarks, the slowness and stupidity of the life covered by electronic products, and the kindness and threats around him. Or does it make sense? The worldview constructed through books in a closed environment is abstract and fragile. The predicament Daniel faces is not the criticism of public opinion or the difficulty of running in with his family: the reaction to everything a few beats behind is not only alienation from social rules, but more importantly, he It seems to have lost the ability to experience the senses.

If emotions are drawn as the intersection of circles, then Daniel's circle is surrounded by a thick circle of nothingness.

Exhausted by jerking off pornographic magazines; lying in bed watching the dust float in the sunlight; pulling out the feathers from the pillows, lying naked on the floor and letting them fall to the skin - the same closed space, this is him in the cell Something that would never be done (death row cells don't even have windows). Exploring my brother's bedroom (his original room): restless music from Ipod; posters and stickers with slogans all over the wall; XBOX controller thrown on the table; There is also the scale of his younger brother Jerad. He compares with his back to the wall and smiles lightly; he puts on a cosplay gas mask and finds a booklet containing news paper-cuts about the Daniel rape case. Revisiting the old place, devastated, is an excessive opening of the heart. Find my dead father's Walkman in the attic, reach out to touch the sunlight coming in from the window, wear my father's pants and baseball cap, and swing like a 70s country hippie - Hear the first sentence of cracker sometime I wanna take you down When he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt relieved, the familiar taste, this is music.

I'm not half the man I used to be, the song selection is awesome.

Three groups of enclosed spaces are: today, adolescence, and childhood. The process of rewinding is both returning to the self. Daniel went to skateboard with his younger brother. He rode a bicycle to shuttle among the skateboarding teenagers. The picture was upgraded. He was like a happy child, full of regrets. The speeding Sonic cleared the level, Daniel was swallowed by a huge sense of loneliness, and woke up in tears at the moment of tears - finding happiness, and realizing sadness - it turned out that these were all his lost lives. This feeling is very similar to "Shame" in which Brendan and Sisi are quarreling in the room. There is Mickey Mouse on the TV, as if reliving the countless scoldings of childhood, and outside the window is the concrete forest of New York. In the dark corridor, the light of the screen flickered and leaked from the crack of the door, the beating of the atrium, or the frequency of sobbing. The camera zooms out gradually, the clean sound of the electronic organ ceases, and the set ends.

This episode is, in my words, a typical [rest time for building a worldview]. The contradiction in the story of "Zhao Xue" lies in the truth of the rape and murder case of Hanna that led to Daniel's imprisonment. The core is the game between an ordinary person (a murderer?) who has been isolated from the world for 20 years, his worldview and the universal values ​​of society. If this episode is placed on the Sidfield timeline, there is basically no narrative -
or it is still in the stage of constructing a dramatic situation - there are not many lines, and the audience is brought into the characters by actions and camera language: the characters are the whole of the story. . "Breaking Bad" used an episode to let MR. White fight mosquitoes in the ice-making room, and his anxious audience fully realized it (it's really annoying!); "The Walking Dead" spent half a season setting out a group of people who seem to be comfortable on the farm He was bathed in hysterical threats again, just to make the audience's psychological defense line collapse by turning the missing girl into a little zombie from the cowshed. This composure way of storytelling requires the production team's great confidence and narrative skills: it can only be said that the American audience's viewing habits have been cultivated to be perverse and calm - the characters in the play are deeply charming Catch their thoughts and see that their situation is more of an adventure than a daily life. Over time, it will feel like Takeshi Kaneshiro chatting with you in Japanese. Even if you don't understand, he will smile at you and you will be complete.

The moment Daniel cried after Sonic cleared, I thought of an episode of The Walking Dead Season 5: The setting sun is dyed, outside the community, a lonely zombie near the fence is close to the wall. In the community, Carl seemed to sense the breathing of the walking corpse, approached the parapet, and reached out to touch the wall;

    Another favorite series after AMC's "Mad Men", the rhythm is slow but not dull, and the photography and editing are completely film-level. The plot restores all kinds of real human nature. I have been looking forward to the little girl who plays Gatsby and the male lead have some real behavior, so let's wait for the second season.
