Subvert the viewing experience

has been obsessed with this story recently. Too beautiful.
It doesn't matter if the episode at the end of episode 6 was spoiled. I just watched the movie after reading the introduction (spoilers were spoiled), even though I knew the ending, I held my breath while watching it. Shocked.

I think the key to the brilliance is not only the various turns of the story itself, but also several characteristics:
1. The identity of the protagonist. It's really not an ordinary rich person, not the ordinary middle class or elite, but from a wealthy family in New York, (from Baidu Encyclopedia: The Durst family is very influential in New York, owning and managing many New York Famous landmarks include the World Trade Center, the Bank of America Tower and the headquarters of the Condé Nast Group in Times Square. It is reported that the Durst family has at least $4.4 billion (about 27.3 billion yuan) in assets and is listed by Forbes as the most One of the wealthy American families.)

2. The protagonist's sociopathic personality is not just a single person. Now he kills so many people. But he himself called the documentary director to ask for a documentary about him, and the arrogance, contempt and disgust of human beings reflected in the interview are really similar to the kind of perversion in movies and TV. The difference is that he is a living demon giving an interview, not an actor.

3. The documentary is well shot, and the story itself is wonderful, yes, but the audio-visual quality of the documentary really adds a lot to the watchability of the story. The middle part is a little procrastinated, but as a six-episode TV series, it is completely bearable.

4. The overall background music and handling of the documentary are really good. It is quiet and quiet. The whole viewing process has a feeling of being sucked in. People don’t deliberately create horror. DA, the police and the victim's friends have done a great job. It's not that they like to act. Maybe the foreigners themselves are good at expressing themselves. The narrative process is very interesting. You must know that these are the witnesses of the incident. But it is so expressive in front of the camera, it really has more atmosphere and looks better than many reasoning dramas.

5. Oppose the statement that this documentary is not enough material, not rational enough, and full of loopholes. As long as it is a film, whether it is a documentary or an ordinary film, it is subjective, and the documentary is not responsible for providing objective perspectives and scientific inferences. And the protagonist said to himself the words that affected the judgment of the case, which was really shocking in itself. So each film has its own life, which is completely out of the plan.

6. The documentary itself brought the character and the case back into the public eye, Bob was arrested by the police before the sixth episode aired, so it's not over yet! The reason for the arrest seems to be because of bob's possession of marijuana or something, not because of the murder. So, continue to pay close attention.

7. In the process of watching the film, I think Bob was very lucky. He got off the crime after killing three of them. The first two were due to insufficient evidence and a strong legal team. But Ya killed and dismembered the third victim, and she confessed—admitted to dismembering the neighbor but not her own murder, exonerated in self-defense. And I don't know much about the law, so I don't need to go to jail for Mao Bob admitting to dismembering his neighbor. I go.

8. There are really too many cases. Bob also pretended to be a dumb woman during his escape! Arrested for stealing a $6 sandwich! When he was a child, before his mother jumped off the building, his father called him to get up and persuade his mother! The first victim still can't find the body! Killing is killing people, fifty or sixty people, killing neighbors, and dismembering them!

The word "divine drama" is vulgar, but this drama is really full of gods, I recommend it!

    The last episode pulled down the overall level

    The length of the six-episode miniseries and HBO's creative environment are probably the soil that Fincher dreamed of for "Zodiac" and the unproduced black-and-white documentary version of "Black Dahlia." It's really good, but the so-called final god reversal is really not too god.
