他们是等待法庭判决的被告,这是他们的故事。同性恋异装癖的特雷西(Tracie)遭受着无数白眼和嘲讽,当他以为自己最终找到真爱时,却没有想到男友杀死妻子后骗他协助沉尸,特雷西也因此被怀疑参与了谋杀;单身母亲莫(Mo)因不肯向黑帮屈服,结果她的儿子遭黑帮威胁杀了好友独子,为了保护儿子,她忍受着良心谴责试图全家搬离, 但最终难逃法网;17岁的斯蒂芬(Stephen)正经历丧母之痛,他的父亲已经与曾照料母亲的护士同居,在他眼中恶毒的后妈想尽办法要除掉自己和弟弟,于是他将利刃捅向了对方身体;斯蒂芬在狱中自杀,作为看护的蒂娜(Tina)原本想帮同事隐瞒,但她最终还是揭露了真相,而为了避免斯蒂芬的悲剧重演,蒂娜私自放走了转到自己监狱的杰克(Jake),她也因为协助犯人逃跑而成为被告。
没有看过《the accused》的其他剧集,几次重温《特雷西》,只是觉得Sean Bean在剧中英伦大叔范儿的身影迷人,反反复复才有了写下些许感想的动力。片名“Tracie”译作“特雷西”,而不是比较常见的“特蕾西”,恰恰体现了翻译者的用心,点出了柔和中显著的雄性元素,使人感觉特别且另有深意,写照出Tracie虽爱好女士妆扮,但他身形魁梧,妥妥一副男儿身躯。
按Simon自己的话说,他觉得自己是“全天下最无聊的男人”。只有到夜幕降临,变装成内心的“good-time girl”Tracie,他才开始尽情享受生活。虽然白天一切将回归“正常”,他将回到压抑的教室,面对一群浑噩的学生,讲授他不爱的英文诗。与其他男人的不同,Tony的一次次折返,以及他编造的丧偶谎言,让Tracie对他逐渐产生厮守的期望,但她也希望得到Tony认真的对待,而不是被“taken for granted”。Tracie期望也在谎言拆穿后破灭了,而这也将Tony自私的本性推向顶点。
全集的发展线条比较清晰,顺着Tracie和Tony之间的“孽缘”展开,而Tony的自私似乎又成为整个故事发展的推手。他为了满足私欲,对Tracie谎称自己是鳏夫,当事情败露,他没有丝毫歉意,反而对Simon恶语相向,甚至怀疑Simon对他妻子不轨,之后为了沉尸而欺骗Tracie复合,最后为了自保而不愿意证明Tracie的清白。对比之下,Tracie对Tony付出了真心,当面对Tony的恶语,Simon也只是说出了内心对他的感受并且懊悔自己不该对他报以幻想。
整集中不时闪现那首英文叙事长诗《the lady of Shalott》的片段,借助诗中Sharlotte姑娘在发现爱人前后的改变和决断,映衬出Simon在不同境遇下的心态,更传达了两个人物为爱冒险的共鸣。感觉这也给本集增加了一些神幻、古典、浪漫的情调。但Simon并不会受到Shalott遭遇的诅咒,本集结尾Tacie的微笑,也似乎暗示她与Sharlotte同运不同命,她洗刷清白,得以继续自己的生活,得以用行动改写Sharlotte因诅咒殒命的结局。
既然是审判题材的影视作品,对案件庭审过程的呈现必然也是每集的核心。Tracie为自身做无罪辩护的那段算是整集中最扣剧题的一段了。其中不乏令人印象深刻的片段。主审法官允许Simon着被捕那天的装束二次出庭,在出庭时体恤地问道“What shall I call you?”最终陪审团在听取Tracie的陈述之后,一致得出了无罪的结论。虽然没有对陪审团内心活动的过多描绘,但从陪审团给出的结论来看,本集传达出陪审团成员更多在于专注于案件事实本身,并没有因为Simon的取向和爱好,影响对他在本案中行为的定性,多多少少也反映了审判人员对当事人内生选择的尊重和接纳吧。这也与片头找Tracie茬者的偏见与狭隘形成强烈的对比。其实纵观整个剧情,我们也必然会认为Tracie是无罪的,但就结果而言,越接近公正,越表明审判者克服了自我的喜恶志趣对定性他人行为的干扰。
Tracie的机智挽救了她自己,但归根到底还是在于她没有为了与Tony厮守而协助他沉尸。真正拯救Simon的是他善良的本性。
伴随着BGM响起,压抑的预感直接涌上来,第一次打开的时候是半夜,没有勇气看下去,于是选择了一个阳光明媚的早晨~ 第一集的主题选择了边缘人中的边缘人,没想到最后给了一个HE。一直惴惴不安地等,等陪审团说“guilty”,又隐隐期盼着那个“not”。 这一集讲的,就是一个关于美丽的故事。 豆叔展现真实的自我上街,是他自信的美丽;面对各色人等的不屑和蔑视,能保持住平静的心,是从容的美丽;而为了自己的爱人,是绽放的美丽。 看到一半就太揪心,次次为了等待爱人的到来,精心打扮;面对电话留言机里的哀求,总是忍不住就pick up;为了Tony的一句“我们一起走”,瞬间绽放笑容;轻快地跑着下楼梯的脚步,还有在课堂上的激情朗诵,简直是整个人都亮了起来。 而对方是那样的狰狞,在人来人往的大街上甩狠话,将现实的生活和夜晚完完全全分割开来。Tony是懦弱的,正如诸多出轨的男人,口口声声说着我爱我的妻子,一边却拼命搅动自己心中那所谓的“死水”。 之所以说是HE,还因为Tony在看到Simon出狱时,那个带着愧疚和喜悦的笑容。 在网上找出来了那首诗, 开始只是作为亚瑟王的历史迷,对camelot这个词条件反射,后来大叔念来的感觉,听起来好美 The Lady of Shallott Part I. On either side the river lie Long fields of barley and of rye, That clothe the wold and meet the sky; And thro' the field the road runs by To many-tower'd Camelot; And up and down the people go, Gazing where the lilies blow Round an island there below, The island of Shalott. Willows whiten, aspens quiver, Little breezes dusk and shiver Thro' the wave that runs for ever By the island in the river Flowing down to Camelot. Four gray walls, and four gray towers, Overlook a space of flowers, And the silent isle imbowers The Lady of Shalott. By the margin, willow-veil'd Slide the heavy barges trail'd By slow horses; and unhail'd The shallop flitteth silken-sail'd Skimming down to Camelot: But who hath seen her wave her hand? Or at the casement seen her stand? Or is she known in all the land, The Lady of Shalott? Only reapers, reaping early In among the bearded barley, Hear a song that echoes cheerly From the river winding clearly, Down to tower'd Camelot: And by the moon the reaper weary, Piling sheaves in uplands airy, Listening, whispers "'Tis the fairy Lady of Shalott." Part II. There she weaves by night and day A magic web with colours gay. She has heard a whisper say, A curse is on her if she stay To look down to Camelot. She knows not what the curse may be, And so she weaveth steadily, And little other care hath she, The Lady of Shalott. And moving thro' a mirror clear That hangs before her all the year, Shadows of the world appear. There she sees the highway near Winding down to Camelot: There the river eddy whirls, And there the surly village-churls, And the red cloaks of market girls, Pass onward from Shalott. Sometimes a troop of damsels glad, An abbot on an ambling pad, Sometimes a curly shepherd-lad, Or long-hair'd page in crimson clad, Goes by to tower'd Camelot; And sometimes thro' the mirror blue The knights come riding two and two: She hath no loyal knight and true, The Lady of Shalott. But in her web she still delights To weave the mirror's magic sights, For often thro' the silent nights A funeral, with plumes and lights And music, went to Camelot: Or when the moon was overhead, Came two young lovers lately wed; "I am half-sick of shadows," said The Lady of Shalott. Part III. A bow-shot from her bower-eaves, He rode between the barley-sheaves, The sun came dazzling thro' the leaves, And flamed upon the brazen greaves Of bold Sir Lancelot. A redcross knight for ever kneel'd To a lady in his shield, That sparkled on the yellow field, Beside remote Shalott. The gemmy bridle glitter'd free, Like to some branch of stars we see Hung in the golden Galaxy. The bridle-bells rang merrily As he rode down to Camelot: And from his blazon'd baldric slung A mighty silver bugle hung, And as he rode his armour rung, Beside remote Shalott. All in the blue unclouded weather Thick-jewell'd shone the saddle-leather, The helmet and the helmet-feather Burn'd like one burning flame together, As he rode down to Camelot. As often thro' the purple night, Below the starry clusters bright, Some bearded meteor, trailing light, Moves over still Shalott. His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd; On burnish'd hooves his war-horse trode; From underneath his helmet flow'd His coal-black curls as on he rode, As he rode down to Camelot. From the bank and from the river He flash'd into the crystal mirror, "Tirra lirra," by the river Sang Sir Lancelot. She left the web, she left the loom, She made three paces thro' the room, She saw the water-lily bloom, She saw the helmet and the plume, She look'd down to Camelot. Out flew the web and floated wide; The mirror crack'd from side to side; "The curse is come upon me," cried The Lady of Shalott. Part IV. In the stormy east-wind straining, The pale-yellow woods were waning, The broad stream in his banks complaining, Heavily the low sky raining Over tower'd Camelot; Down she came and found a boat Beneath a willow left afloat, And round about the prow she wrote The Lady of Shalott. And down the river's dim expanse-- Like some bold seer in a trance, Seeing all his own mischance-- With a glassy countenance Did she look to Camelot. And at the closing of the day She loosed the chain, and down she lay; The broad stream bore her far away, The Lady of Shalott. Lying, robed in snowy white That loosely flew to left and right-- The leaves upon her falling light-- Thro' the noises of the night She floated down to Camelot: And as the boat-head wound along The willowy hills and fields among, They heard her singing her last song, The Lady of Shalott. Heard a carol, mournful, holy, Chanted loudly, chanted lowly, Till her blood was frozen slowly, And her eyes were darken'd wholly, Turn'd to tower'd Camelot; For ere she reach'd upon the tide The first house by the water-side, Singing in her song she died, The Lady of Shalott. Under tower and balcony, By garden-wall and gallery, A gleaming shape she floated by, A corse between the houses high, Silent into Camelot. Out upon the wharfs they came, Knight and burgher, lord and dame, And round the prow they read her name, The Lady of Shalott. Who is this? and what is here? And in the lighted palace near Died the sound of royal cheer; And they cross'd themselves for fear, All the knights at Camelot: But Lancelot mused a little space; He said, "She has a lovely face; God in his mercy lend her grace, The Lady of Shalott. by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1842)
每一集站在被告席上的人,都是不得不。
第一集体裁很抢眼,独特的配上诗歌描绘人物的心情变化;
第二集让你看到英国小镇,放佛农村斗地主,落后的情况太多;
第三集情绪很复杂。父亲再娶,儿子不能接受,片中反复讨论儿子是否自私和过于敏感。I would say he is too boring. 也许母亲是那个一直照顾袒护他的人,从而导致他不会自己为自己辩解。人一旦有心结,要么通过语言沟通,要么离开让时间来缓解,如果都做不到,一般人就只剩下暴力手段,导致悲剧。这个儿子心理反复只有一个念头就是这位护士是故意的,有这个念头是有可能的,但是有这个念头并持续了很久很久,并一直想证明自己是对的,就超乎常人能理解的了。唯一能解释的就是他把自己失去精神依赖的过错,扔到了护士身上。他兄弟和他父亲作为情绪更丰富,表达更强的人,走出来了,这也是因为他们更坚强,很可惜,这种最基本的自我心理保护能力和化解机制不能强求,有些人这方面的机制的确不成熟。
护士穿着暴露,存在勾引的成分不假;后面洗碗的事情僵持也有些过了,一般人不会为了这种事不退让;但只有这两件事能明确看出她不对,在圆滑处事上,她应该是四个人里面最成熟的。she should not be blamed.
1,⭐⭐⭐⭐这集最打动我的是诗。课堂中西蒙的状态和主线遥相辉映。一开始西蒙就像是大学里我们遇到的普通语文老师一样,自顾自的讲课,学生们睡倒一片。而最后一次讲课时,西蒙充满激情,学生明显被带动起来,课堂氛围活跃。而最后西蒙出庭时,他的许多学生也到了庭审现场给他助阵。 2,⭐⭐⭐苏在读写给凶手母亲的信时,莫的眼神,诠释的太到位了,悲伤,胆怯,尴尬,甚至都能感觉到心烦。《演员请就位》完全可以演这段,神演技和渣演技对比造成的视觉冲击肯定无比强烈。 3,⭐⭐⭐这集最大的争议是继母是否恶毒。如果影片展现的都是实际发生的,继母人渣实锤。在给斯蒂芬的母亲治疗期间就穿着暴露,这不得体且别有用心。在与斯蒂芬独处一室时穿着暴露举止暧昧,这明显是色诱,然后再去他父亲那里诬告。然而如果这些也是斯蒂芬臆想出来的呢? 4,⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐一开始平淡无奇。整部戏的特点就是这样,波澜不惊,唯二的悬念就是到底因何指控以及最终的判决。然而就当我以为就这样结束时,父亲的发言直击泪腺。尸检报告胸部有多处外伤,此时我还往最黑暗处揣度,难道狱警或其他囚犯对斯蒂芬有过虐待,这才是他自杀真相;还是故意栽赃陷害狱警。父亲估计也是这种想法,所以他问了验尸官,而产生这种外伤的原因竟是有人在拼命救他!两季共10个故事挺虐人的,而这父亲最后讲话不仅是对这一集虐心状态的释放,更是对整部系列剧的释放。
四个短小的故事,每个都是对人性与道义的两难困境的探讨。个体的境遇与体制环境之间的扯不清理还乱的关系。个人感觉最后一个故事最虐心。。。
前两集不错
剧情有点太扯了 比较刻意的感觉
对人性的拷问不亚于第一季,但是更感性一些,因此结局也更美好一点。
保持了第一季的水准,又做了一些内在勾连的尝试。依旧让人动容。
。
shit shit shit这季怎么只有四集!shit shit shit最后一集好虐!
ep1豆叔乃好妩媚ojz ep2 又是熟脸儿大集合。。安娜阿姨演技忒好看的心都快被揉死 ep3 贱卷的小衬衫都好好看>< 然后找的弟弟完全跟他俩面相 估计不是亲生ojz 后妈一张天然鸟岛盛产的slut脸真特码腻歪人 ep4 嘛。。觉得最后内样儿做挺没意义啊完全表现主义了-,-
等了太久了!
没有S1精彩,但也虐。
神作,刚看完第一集就被震住了。从前真不喜欢华兹华斯,但他的诗在这剧里念出来居然那么美。
剧本没第一季的精彩。不过看完第四集必须加一星!
第三季看得意犹未尽第四集一出来我以为接上了,正在怒赞编剧,然而…………比第一季更好看
第一集!!!!!!!!!!!!!四星半稍逊第一季
独立故事最喜欢E2,E3E4连起来看有点像criminal justice. E1的异装癖自我世界大亮。最感动的是E4。从剧本演员到OST没一个让人失望的,苏格兰音美瞎了...
....................................................
没有第一季凶残但是仍然是上乘水准这点毋庸置疑,带点轮回意味的最后一集倒是让我又一次对“宣誓之后到底会不会撒谎”这一点感到了各种内伤,革命靠自觉。
神剧本,神演员,音乐也是亮点。第一集那些诗句,第三第四集的衔接,第二集最后那一幕。最惊艳的自然是Sean Bean这个transvestite,哭得最狠的是第二集,最爱的是第三集,在塑造了一个危险幻想者的同时更塑造了一个“印证幻想”的继母形象,生生把观众带入了主角的精神世界。
第三和第四集居然一反第一季和本季第一第二集的常规,故事有了连续性。第四集看哭了,女警官心里有多大的委屈?!(可惜被强奸没有交代)每个故事都有触动人心灵的东西。带口音的英文比较有特色。
E01的豆叔把孤吓尿了。。
