看完了第一季,还没找到第二季资源。非常好,再推荐一下。作为政治剧,好看程度不亚于纸牌屋,但又没有美剧的那些狗血。能形象地了解北欧式的民主政治,包括政府高层和新闻媒体的运作模式。每一集都满是纵横捭阖的博弈和一波三折的翻转,虽不乏阴谋权斗,但都设法控制在合理合法的范畴,充分体现的是智慧、判断力和决断力,一场引渡风波使人联想到孟大小姐。全剧由一位女首相和一位女电视主持人唱主角,两位让人敬佩的女性,堪称完美的公德与充满瑕疵的个人生活尤其是感情生活错综交织,给人物形象增添了饱满的色彩。
Our biggest problem is that we are dying as a people. Birth rates are dropping. The young leave Greenland.But the worst is that the suicide rate has exploded.And it's the young men who are killing themselves. Like him. What have you tried to do about it? Almost everything. Suicide hotlines, psychologists, anti-depressants. But every year it gets worse. Twenty percent of all young in Greenland have attempted suicide. That is a tragic world record. Why do you think it is like this? Since the old days, there have been suicides in Greenland. You'd throw yourself from a tall fjeld. The fjeld was called "Nakkartaffik." "The place where you fall." But those were old people. Who felt they had given all they could and were now a family burden. Back then you committed suicide out of pride. Perhaps the young commit suicide because they have nothing to be proud of.
第二集开头引用了马基雅维利恐惧论:“被恐惧永远比被爱戴来的安全“。这句话成为了这一集的箴言。
工党(主角 Birgitte Nyborg 所在党温和党共同组阁的最大盟友)主席 Michael Laugesen 通过政治交易拉拢了反对党联盟的另外两个党派,绿党和团结联盟,通过这个挑战了温和党的组阁主动权,也挑战了主角的首相地位。
然而,得知Laugesen意图首相宝座的工党副主席Troels Höxenhaven私底下却想与主角达成交易,通过泄露Laugesen不得体的政治交易邮件往来逼他下台。在出卖他的前一刻,有这么个镜头,Höxenhaven和Laugesen都在教堂里。
这简直是对马基雅维利这句话最大的讽刺。
后来主角副手点破,Höxenhaven恐惧自己将会像Höxenhaven家族的先祖一样遭到背叛,因此主动出击,捅了Laugesen刀子。
背叛这个主题在西方艺术里有多重要,这里就不赘述了,主角副手是以凯撒遇刺类比的。
