2020 started in a cruel way that no one had ever expected, in this special period of the spread of the epidemic. At this moment, the European historical drama that describes the plague attack in the 16th century was also aired again -
"The Black Death"
"The Black Death" A "stubborn disease" that is more terrible and harder to cure than the plague was put on the table - it once wiped out nearly half of the population in Europe. The second season of "The Black Death" "The Hand of the Stone Mink" is based on this.
"The Black Death" season 2 is set in the fifth year after the end of the plague epidemic. At this time, Sevilla has broken free from the shadow of death and returned to the hustle and bustle of the past. But under the appearance of peace, the people at the bottom of the city still live in dire straits.
A mysterious gang organization named " stone diaper " has become the underground king of the city. Whether it is land, taxation, or population transactions have become industries controlled by "stone diaper", and everyone who tries to resist them has paid a heavy price.
male lead Mateo returned to Sevilla again. And together with the new mayor Ponte Corvo and the undercover agent Baesa who sneaked into the "Stone Mink", he tried to eliminate the evil forces entrenched in the city.
This also makes the new season's story focus more on showing the group's political conspiracy rather than the protagonist's personal detective adventures.
However, as the investigation deepened, Mateo found that the harm of "Stone Mink" was far more serious than the previous plague. This gang organization colluded with the upper class was eroding the foundation of Sevilla.
revolves around the life and death of a group of prostitutes. The battle between good and evil in the new season of "The Black Death" has become the highlight of the plot:
When the protagonists try to rebuild order, "Stone Diao" not only sends thugs to burn and kill to create panic, but also assassinates the new mayor Ponte Corvo in the street.
But the rampant "stone marten" is just a gun in the hands of others, and in the end it cannot escape the fate of the cunning rabbit dead or the lackey cooking. But what really dragged Sevilla into the quagmire were those vested upper-class interests who were in high positions and hypocritical positions.
"The Black Death" was well received for its restoration of medieval Europe when it was aired in the first season. The costumes and props that fit historical facts restored to the greatest extent a chaotic, dirty but vibrant port city of Seville. The second season of
is being aired further demonstrates the city's worldly and human nature.
How the nobles gather, how officials mediate, how the poor make a living, and what kind of persecution have the prostitutes been are all shown in the plot.
Holy Week parade, bloodletting therapy, mercury treatment syphilis , colonists' invasion of the Americas and other real details show the heaviness of history.
"The Black Death" presents a medieval life that is completely different from our stereotype .
In the dim candlelight, the fate of all kinds of characters in the three religions and the nine streams is intertwined into a big net.
The old world is becoming increasingly decadent but still prosperous, the new world is desolate but full of hope. In the collision between the new and the old, "The Hand of the Stone Mink" has created a group of flesh-and-blooded new characters.
Among them, the new mayor Ponte Corvo and the actual ruler of "Stone Diao" Maria de Laou Two characters are particularly outstanding:
Ponte Corvo, who was born in the army, dared and resolute, but lacked the tlemma and compromise as a politician. His situation is inevitable that people will recall the tragedy of Coriolanus in Shakespeare's works;
De Laou, who is deeper than the cunning de laou is not a common femme fatale in film and television works, but the charm she showed in her few appearances is far more impressive than the stereotyped villain.
The outbreak of plague in Seville in "The Black Death" also truly affected the stability of social classes.
Even though the threat of the Black Death had long since dispersed in the second season, it still created the soil for the rise of "Stone Mink".
Inequality, famine and infectious diseases are the dark side of the city's " not seen ".
This time in Spain's "Black Death", every frame in the play is as clean as an oil painting.
Black Death is a physiological disease on the surface, but in private it contains the indifference of the upper class and the sadness of the lower class people.
Plague is cruel and equal. Death will not distinguish between rich and poor. It allows merchants to replace the powerful and noble. The church is declining day by day. It destroys old chronic diseases but brings new contradictions. History is both reality, and such stories are constantly repeating in history.
From this point of view, every character and every detail in "The Black Death" seems to be suspected of mapping the present, but in the real dilemma, we still have to find a way out for ourselves to " New World ".
Nothing new under the sun, I am full of sad confidence in the future, this is human beings!
Black Death, but the darkest thing is not the heart of the people~
