When I found out that "Miss Fisher Detective" was discontinued in the 8th episode of the third season, I had already finished it. For more than half of the entire episode, I was very uneasy, like a love that was doomed to break up began to count down. "Miss Fisher" started 5 years ago, I didn't discover it until this summer, and it's only in recent years that other American audiences have become crazy about the show. Of course, Netflix has a lot to do with it, otherwise who knows what TV shows to watch in Oceania on the opposite side of the world. Especially the classical detective dramas, the Sherlock Holmes series and the Polo series Marple series of Granny (Agatha Christie) have long been performed in various ways, and even the BBC can't make new tricks. And the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) actually launched a detective drama that was so well-received. Not only is it a classical detective plot, but the protagonist is actually a woman. This female detective is still beautiful and charming.
"Miss Fisher" is a remake of a novel series of the same name, and author Kerry Greenwood doesn't tell the story of his own time like Grandma, but goes back a century and sets the background in 1920s Melbourne. The protagonist, Miss Fisher, not only takes into account the classical beauty, but also transcends that era, and can be regarded as a feminist pioneer even in the 21st century. Compared with other classic detective dramas, the plot reasoning of "Miss Fisher" is slightly weaker, and audiences who are used to sophisticated reasoning and complex cases may be disappointed. But if you didn't give up the show in the first place, caught up to the third season, and was looking forward to the hopeless fourth season and follow-up movies like me, you probably didn't care about the plot and reasoning. The real fascination of this show goes far beyond murder and solving cases. Every glamorous appearance of Fisher, her exquisite home furnishings, and her flirting with the detective are enough to make people drool. , who cares who murders whom. Just as every Sherlock Holmes has a good Watson by his side, Miss Fisher has never been a single-handed murderer. Relying on her wealth and wisdom, she was mixed with black and white in Melbourne. Along the way, she picked up a little maid, a little loli, an omnipotent housekeeper, two gcd brothers, and a sultry detective and his little servant. . These people made Miss Fisher's life surprises and dramas, and Fisher changed the trajectory of their lives.
Well, after so much foreshadowing, now, may I present the Honorable Miss Phryne Fisher! So "the Honorable" is Miss Fisher's title, indicating that her father is a nobleman of the last class. To be exact, Fisher is a baron's family. Miss. It is mentioned in the TV series that Fisher was born in poverty and spent his childhood in starvation and embarrassment. It was not until World War I that her father inherited the title and estate of a distant relative. The hardships in her early years left a soft spot in Fisher's heart, allowing her to show more understanding and compassion when facing all kinds of people who were struggling to live at the bottom. Phryne (pronounced: fry-nee) is Miss Fisher's given name, the name of a slut in ancient Greek mythology. The TV series didn't mention it, but it was written in the book that when Fisher was born, her father named her Psyche, a fairy from Greek mythology, but the day Fisher was christened, her father was drunk. So by accident, Miss Fisher has changed from "the embodiment of the human soul" to "the high-class prostitute of Athens". However, Miss Fisher made us realize that the name Phryne is far more charming than Psyche.
Miss Fisher in the TV series is not a young girl, and certainly not an aunt. Probably a senior mature woman. A little girl who has never experienced life has neither accumulated life wisdom nor can hold erotic scenes, so it is difficult to show her charm; and the kind elders who have insight into everything are easily reminiscent of middle school Chinese teachers or aunts at family gatherings, which makes people interesting Nothing. And Miss Fisher balances these just right, and has a strong personal identity: black bob, thin eyebrows, red lips and high cheekbones, walking with graceful style, changing 3 sets of fashion a day, each of which is a high-end European design; When chasing a bad guy (or being chased by a bad guy), her hair should not be messed up with lipstick or lipstick, and wide-leg pants and high-heeled shoes should be worn when walking around the wall; in an era when most people traveled by horse-drawn carriages and trams, her mount was a red convertible. Hispano-Suiza, she is often soared to 80m/h; she always has a pistol in her bag and a dagger hidden under her skirt, and her wit and insight are sharper than a dagger. In this play, Miss Fisher's character is a composite of "Sherlock Holmes", "James Bond" and "Indiana Jones", but she is more charming than Sherlock Holmes, more reasoning than James Bond, better than Indiana Jones. Know how to dress.
The acclaimed qualities of a male hero are also perfectly reflected in Miss Fisher, such as integrity, intelligence, bravery and, of course, mercy everywhere. How can Miss Fisher's wonderful years be empty, so whether it's an uncle or a little fresh meat, it's better to sleep first, and sleep more healthily. In almost every episode, we can see her looking at every unfamiliar man she meets for the first time, and she can see through her heart how to measure the bedability of this man, thinking hmm, is this bloke sleepable with Can this man sleep? Most of the time she was not disappointed. And this was a heinous crime for a single woman in the early twentieth century, and even a hundred years later, it still cannot be tolerated. "Miss Fisher" was a hit on Netflix, many people commented that Fisher was a "goddamn slxt slut", some said Fisher was immoral, sleep around, and some said Fisher should always be with one person. Obviously, people with moral depravity like Americans can't stand Fisher's "chaotic private life". But when James Bond was sleeping around, the guards and the aunts and uncles said nothing, and different men appeared in Fisher's bedroom. They immediately climbed to the moral high ground and shouted that they would knock Fisher to the ground and tread again. Ten thousand feet. Just because Fisher is a woman.
Therefore, we think that the feminist movement has been developing for almost 100 years. Women have the right to vote, women are CEOs and justices, and men and women are paid equal for equal work (which is still a joke). But when it comes to the lower body, the double standard is still the same. ingrained. How cruel this society is to women, it cannot tolerate a 40-year-old woman who is not in a hurry to settle down, marry and have children. The best destination for women in mainstream movies and TV dramas is nothing more than a man, otherwise they will give up on themselves. Even if you don't get married, you have to have a child, and a woman without motherhood will be expelled from her citizenship. This is true in the US, and I think even more so in China. In recent years, I have seen several American dramas with female protagonists, such as "Homeland Homeland Security", in which the (former) CIA female spy Carrie Matheson, who is brave and brave against terrorists, changes the male protagonist like a revolving lamp (poor me Quinn, there are no sheets Get out of the box and get the lunch), and at the most desperate time, let her give birth to a child. Another example is Emma Swan, the "chosen" savior in "Once Upon a Time Fairy Tale Town". After single-handedly saving the whole universe, she still holds hands with the prince to live a happy life. There is also the "Scandal Scandal" that gave up the show after watching two episodes. Olivia Pope, the big public relations sister who was in a political circle, was still heartbroken by the man. In these dramas, even though the heroines have assumed the traditional man's mission and replaced the man's role, they still can't escape their fate as women in the end, which is to return to the man's side.
I don't like the word "feminism", it's being abused, it means targeting the opposite gender to criticize, I don't think it's defending women's rights. I think, maybe the "awakening of the female self" is more important. Women can strive for independence and equality only if they control their destiny in their own hands. In this way, women's worth can be determined by themselves, not by the men around them. In this way, a woman's own qualities and talents are enough to make her a respectable person, irrespective of the men she sleeps with. Fortunately, "Miss Fisher" did not disappoint us. Miss Fisher celebrates the meaning and beauty of life every day, and she lived up to her life. And for those who say three or four finger pointing, just give them a gorgeous back. Thinking of this, I suddenly don't look forward to the happy ending of Fisher and the Inspector. If Fisher and the Inspector really appear at both ends of the horizon, slowly run towards each other, and then embrace each other affectionately, is this Tai Qiongyao? Grandma is too karaoke. This is probably not where we want Fisher to be.
