's recent suspenseful American drama called Cruel Summer, which performed relatively well, with a lot of suspense in the way of filming.
The best point of the cruel summer is the non-linear unfolding of the plot, which is very characteristic. Each episode of the story selects a certain day of three consecutive summers, and mixes and intersperses three days of intense contrast. This is a trend that goes out of control until it is out of control, which is still better than most mass-produced youth dramas. There are two heroines in the
story, each showing their different perspectives of the story line. The protagonists live in a small town in Texas in the 1990s. The story progresses continuously between three years, but it is not difficult to identify the specific year. In 1993, the colors were naive, in 1994, it was mature and retro, and in 1995, it can only be said It's dark and depressing.
's first heroine, Jeanette, has experienced three stages of "nerd, heartthrob, and everyone's dislike" in her three years.
In 1993, she was just an ordinary good girl with curly hair and braces. In 1994, she became the queen bee of school , with a sidekick and a handsome boyfriend . In 1995, she dropped out of school and became famous at home. There will be this development trajectory, to mention the second heroine Kate.
Kate was the last heartthrob in 1993, and was the object of Jeanette's silent envy. In 1994, she escaped from kidnapping and returned to her previous life, but she can't go back, her follower girl and boyfriend Once taken over by Jeanette, in 1995 she still has the aftermath of the victim, and the way to reconcile with the world tends to be in time.
After Kate was rescued in 1994, Jeanette accused Jeanette of not being saved on a TV show. Since then, Jeanette became notorious. In 1995, Jeanette chose to sue Kate for defamation in court. Two girls and the family behind it, it looks like at least one party is bound to collapse.
Speaking of this, it is about the man who makes the fates of the two girls intertwined. The one who kidnapped Kate and imprisoned him at home was the new young vice-principal of the school, while Jeanette's father was a real estate agent, and Jeanette was a rebel adolescence Duplicated the key of the vice-principal's house, occasionally sneaking in. It is said that this person is indeed a slightly gentle scum in image, with excellent casting and a good performance.
Cruel Summer This drama has a strong opening momentum and a lot of suspense. The main part of the middle part is not very full and there are too many branches. It mainly depends on whether the ending can be saved.
The key to the plot is whether Jeanette was kidnapped out of selfishness and not saved, Kate was under drug control during her kidnapping, whether she actually saw Jeanette, and whether she was falsely accused is still a mystery.
The roles of the two girls are quite complicated, and each has their own hidden concerns. It is not impossible for an evil girl duo to come. It's a pity that for the time being, the acting skills of the two heroines have not been able to support the complicated girl's scheming, and they may also break out in the climax of the plot, such as the court trial... After all, now that the plot is paving the way, Jeanette has been watching various videos to learn How to better win trust and sympathy in court, no matter how you look at it, it should be a ruthless character with a killer follow-up.
The youthful beauty of the two heroines can make up for the appeal of the plot. From this perspective, beauty is fleeting, but it can better reflect the "cruel" in the title of the play.
In addition to the two heroines and the kidnapper's assistant principal who should be an evil character (after all, forced reversal and moderate whitewashing are not impossible), there are also a group of young people and parents.
There are many elements in the group portraits of young people, such as brother-sister and sister-in-law dramas, looking for true love dramas, small partners parting ways as they grow up. The more profound is mainly the ex-boyfriend who relies on his face to eat. This is a tool person who is sandwiched between the two heroines to promote the development of the conflict in the plot, but it is still good-looking.
The generation of parents is also a typical role to some extent, and it is also a bit facialized, but it is still more prominent than the young people. Kate has a mother with a strong desire to control, which caused the tragedy of daughter to a considerable extent.
JeanetteDad is quite disappointed with her daughter, and still spends all her energy on helping her turn her life around. It's a bit ironic that the plot starts with Dad saying to his 15-year-old "nerdy" daughter that sooner or later the whole world will know what kind of person you are, and later, her daughter does become a "negative celebrity".
For many friends who watch Grey's Anatomy, the cruel summer egg comes from the actress who has played Doctor April for several seasonsSarah DrewThis time she played Jeanette's mother.
Her role doesn't have many breakthroughs in acting, and she didn't even appear in the main character posters, mainly because of emotional points, and seeing her will feel very familiar.
In fact, after watching the first and episodes, the momentum is not bad. I once looked at the poster's setting of "you have me, I have you" and almost suspected that the two heroines are two half-sisters...for now Look, the plot has not yet unfolded in such a bloody way.
There are only two episodes left in this season. Apart from the two girls who are or are both evil girls, there is also a hidden subplot. After Kate is rescued, there are key plots in the follow-up, which led to a miserable encounter with a small partner , how it unfolds is still a mystery, for the time being, let's work harder on the ending.
