Pan Yueming plays two roles, and the twin brothers exchange identities. The setting of open-line case investigation and secret line case reversal is quite creative. The keywords of online comments are conscience making, high reduction, suspense and tension, and some people even use the words "just like American TV series" to describe them.
Today, we will talk about American TV dramas of criminal investigation.
American dramas have a mature classification system. The most common categories include criminal investigation, medical treatment, law, plot, action, youth, history, science fiction, etc. Among them, criminal investigation, medical treatment and law are the most popular.
mainstream criminal investigation dramas generally focus on murder investigation, drug lords or terrorists' pursuit, and the handling departments are mainly divided into
-Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
-Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
-Department of Homeland Security
-bailiffs
-local detectives (also divided into state police, mounted police, city police and supernumerary personnel-county and county public security). American TV plays pay attention to the rigorous restoration of the real crime scene, methods and tools, showing the ideas of solving crimes, interrogation skills and dramatic conflicts in the process of arrest. Emotionally, they pay more attention to the wrestling between detectives and criminals, as well as the friendship between detectives, and often go deep into the psychology of detectives and criminals. Many times, detectives will have self-doubt in the long-term struggle with darkness.
Although there are countless criminal investigation dramas in the United States, they will never be the same-each drama has its own emphasis, and it often focuses on a certain police department. For example, Criminal Psychology only focuses on the profile of the FBI, and cases are often adapted from true stories, which reflects the solid foundation and rigorous professionalism of American drama writers.
The most classic old dramas are NCIS, Criminal Minds, naval criminal investigative service, Bones and Law&; Order) and so on. The first four dramas are all from CBS TV, one of the three free channels, and the average age of the audience is over 55. In recent years, with the rise of Shou Feitai such as HBO and Netflix, there have also been dramas such as Detective and Suspect Tracking.
CSI is a classic work that can't be avoided when talking about American TV dramas of criminal investigation, and it is also the enlightenment of American TV dramas for many people.
The following is excerpted from the synopsis of Douban:
There are three "CSI" movies, which are located in LV (Las Vegas), NY (new york) and MIAMI. The three plays are independent of each other, but LV is the earliest and most classic, which can be regarded as a drama, and the other two can be regarded as sisters.
The case of this drama is mysterious and curious, and the picture is truly restored with details and heavy taste. Of course, the biggest selling point is that it upholds the attitude that science is the only criterion for testing truth, and uses the most cutting-edge and high-tech means to let the evidence speak, so as to solve the case.
In the American drama of criminal investigation, "CSI" occupies a pioneering position in the identification technology of popular science material evidence. However, the absolute dependence on physical evidence, while playing a certain educational role, also triggered a dispute that may mislead jurors to rely too much on physical evidence.
If CSI focuses on finding the murderer with the help of physical evidence, Criminal Psychology focuses on "behavior analysis", a special investigation method for serial killers.
The following content is extracted from the synopsis of Douban:
Ordinary murders, whether impulsive killings or premeditated crimes, have motives and must be traced. However, serial killers are often anti-social personalities. They are psychologically distorted and perverted, and choose their victims at random. Therefore, the common physical evidence combined with the conventional means of witness is invalid, and it is necessary to identify and arrest criminals with the help of behavioral analysis specifically aimed at serial killers.
The profiler and serial killer in the play are the most familiar strangers. As Nietzsche famously said, "When you stare at the abyss for too long, you will find that the abyss is staring at you." When copying and analyzing the psychology of serial killers, the profiler will also be shaken and confused because of the ugliness of human nature. The seemingly ugly serial killer is actually just an evil flower nourished by the evil soil of society (many serial killers in the play are actually based on reality).
after talking about serious criminal investigation films, I want to introduce two films that are not so heavy.
The Mystery of the Soul Book is a light comedy criminal investigation film. My love for this film is emotional, because nathan fillion, the male actor, is the captain of my favorite classic sci-fi drama Firefly, and it didn't affect my preference for him at all when he began to gain weight in middle age.
The following content is extracted from the synopsis of Douban:
Most criminal investigation dramas focus on the plot, and in many cases they will pay more attention to criminals who show high IQ and antisocial personality than detectives who solve crimes. "Mystery of the Spirit Book" takes a different approach, focusing on the charm of the protagonist and the chemical reaction between them: one is an older divorced best-selling writer with a handsome and golden gag, a poisonous mother and a schoolmaster's daughter who is 1 times more mature than himself, and the other is a white and beautiful detective with long legs and serious independent business ability. When they meet, Mars hits the earth and sparks are everywhere, and the air is full of ambiguous smells. After four years of quarrelling, they finally faced up to their feelings and came together. It was really anxious for the spectators.
Although the main theme is relaxed and happy, the drama adopts a regular routine of criminal investigation drama with solid design. The murderer is often the most unexpected person, and there are often some seemingly unscientific supernatural cases-mummy curse, Halloween vampires, aliens ... Every time these bizarre cases are encountered, there will be an interesting collision between Castle, who has a huge brain hole and is excited, and Beckett, who is scientific and rigorous, which is another highlight of the drama.
The wonderful story of Ling Shu, with brilliant characters, creative plot and warmth, can be said to be the best representative of the romantic school of criminal investigation combined with comedy.
If comedy and love are the most brilliant things in The Tale of the Soul, then the action drama and brotherhood are the most striking things in hawaii five-. Of course, it is also fully qualified for Hawaii's tourism propaganda film.
The following is excerpted from the synopsis of Douban:
hawaii five- is a remake of the same name drama which was popular in the United States from 1968 to 198, and the producer is CBS TV. The reason why I will chase this drama is also very simple. Alex, who plays Steve, is the star of my favorite vampire classic drama Moonlight.
The whole drama was shot in Hawaii. At the beginning of each episode, you will see the clear water, white sand and blue coastline. Handsome girls in bikinis ride skateboards and ride the waves, which fully shows the charm of Hawaii, a paradise on earth. With the popularity of the series, the number of tourists in Hawaii has risen sharply, and the Hawaii Tourism Bureau should be happy from ear to ear.
As for the leading role, it still follows the old version of Steve+Danno, and rarely uses two Asian faces (Chin+Kono) as supporting roles to form the "5" major crimes group. Steve was born in Seal, and his agility, coupled with the absolute immunity granted by the governor, often made him rampage on the island. Chasing cars, helicopters, explosions, gun battles, and action movies should have many elements. His methods of interrogating suspects are also quite violent, and he always mentions suspects and threatens to throw them off the building.
apart from action scenes, the biggest attraction is the chemical reaction between Steve and Danno. Steve, who was born and bred in the local area and acted perversely, and Danno, a single father who transferred from a big city in New Jersey and wore a suit and tie, handled things in a totally different way. In the constant conflict, they slowly run in and become the best partners with complementary personalities. Their daily noise can be said to be constant laughter, and the degree of "sweetness" is not lost to Castle and Beckett at all (so it is also dubbed by everyone as a spoiler cp).
In short, friends who like to watch action movies should not miss this very bloody criminal investigation drama full of Bromance.
The above are four criminal investigation dramas with their own characteristics. There are many classic criminal investigation dramas, and it is impossible to describe them here.
