皇家律师第三季

    
    第三季一开始就给了我们温暖和悲情兼并的暗示，clive得到了silk，终于可以和martha说我爱你，而且前半部分一直很老实，基本没有再像前两季一样只用下半身思考......但billy的身体每况愈下，办公室又来了一个处处与他作对的哈瑞特（我看到很多人给她的评价都是绿茶婊——看起来兢兢业业，倡导女权，实则处心积虑，偏心极强，欲擒故纵）其实看第三季上半部分我没觉得她怎么样，但最后她和精虫上脑的clive滚在办公室桌上的时候，内心不仅蹦出一个大大的艹！！服从于新鲜和刺激感的软弱，让人绝望又悲伤。

    看到第四集的时候，我对皇家律师的结局设想还大体没变，看得出来billy在安排后事，比如送走jake...这些都还算是夹杂着小悲哀的温情，但到了五六集，基调和情节走向突变，米奇再次出现，像掌控一切的神明一样，他像君王一样召唤billy和clive，告诉他们要拯救martha，谈着自己的童年和人生，那段对话（他对billy说，自己五岁的时候就知道自己的内心已经成年，五岁的自己看着身边的那帮小孩儿，看着他们浪费时间和生命，看着他们把时间浪费在“做小孩”上）和剧情毫无关系，我个人认为那只是编剧或导演自己想和我们说的话，他让无所不知又卑鄙不堪的米奇，让求便有得却失去自由的米奇，对着荧幕，对着我们，静静地说着那番话。到底是做小孩好，还是做大人好，孩子的天真也是愚蠢和无知，长大之后内心就能成熟吗，不一定，但小孩子就不能有历经沧桑千疮百孔的内心吗，有可能。台词的作者，想跟我们表达什么？

    第三季的案子大多有一个特点，直觉判断或者深入分析过后的结果，都与真相大不相同。无辜羞涩的少年才是暴动的幕后使者，狂躁暴力的男子却是黑帮势力的替罪羔羊，什么是真，什么是假，不仅我们在问，剧作人应该也在问。（剧作人有过做律师的经验，否则皇家律师也不会拍的如此专业）

    第五集第六集开始一切都在崩裂，官司，爱情，亲情。无辜的前男友被一次又一次地发现不利证据，米奇作为证人出庭说出实话也没能挽救局势，虽然保护了martha，但自己的性命毁于一旦，billy的癌症注定了他的离开，还剩下一个clive，最后还是和哈瑞特滚在了一起。那么martha能依赖谁呢，她仍旧是身处危险的。有人说结尾处martha迷失了自我，她消失在billy的眼皮底下，像个不曾存在的梦境。观众呢，作为观众的我也迷失了。看完就去查新闻，我才发现第三季真的是剧中，而且不是收视率低的原因，那就是剧作人的意思了。为什么呢，留给我们一个糟糕的结局，路还没有完，观众却知道前方一定是黑暗。

    可笑的是，clive一直强调martha太善良，她的正义和温暖总会让她成为被利用的对象，最后的最后他告诫martha的前男友，不许利用她的善良...可难道他就从来没利用过martha的这个软肋吗，他的懦弱、花心和时不时的奸诈，当他无助时用小狗一样的眼神看着martha说她才是他世界上最信任的人的时候，martha难道没被利用吗。

    有些英剧有个特点，就是虽然很棒但我不想再看第二遍，比如黑镜，比如皇家律师。时不时向你展示出来的人性黑暗和生命的悲剧走向，总让人难以回味第二遍。

    看来时不时还得看看低情商低趣味的美剧，修补修补心灵的内伤...

有关键情节透露

run for your life 这是mickey给martha最后的忠告

最后一集 终于clive变成了原来放荡不羁爱情色的clive，martha却不再是那个机智的QC

唇红齿白 干净利落的短发 谁说martha是倏尔一变呢 难道忘记了成为QC之后 在第二季里丢弃了的手拉车 和精致的high heels

- So you can't say where it was from.
- I was told.
- You were told? Sorry, sorry, sorry. You were told?
When things go wrong, this is how they go wrong.
- I'm sorry?
- This prosecution, these police officers, you.
- What are you all saying?
- We've found our man, now let's make the evidence fit.
Well, that is the wrong way round and this is how miscarriages of justice happen.
It should be "- look at the evidence
- and see who fits it. "
- Is this a speech?
- It's a description of everything that's wrong with the prosecution and police culture in this country.
- Just put your case, Miss Costello.
- You can't be sure it was a 9mm pistol because you need the cartridge for that.
The striations caused by its journey down the barrel of the gun tell you what the weapon was.
So you can't say what this type of gun was,
and anyway, you don't know how rare a 9mm pistol is in the UK
because your statistical database is too narrow.
-And that was all performance.
Ask the question, sit down before it can be answered
and then the question becomes the answer.
It's a dishonest technique.
What I should have said is that Miss Costello is doing her job,
which, unless she believes everything her clients tell her,
means her working life is one big performance.

That's the thing about the Catholic faith.
Teaches you to take life seriously.
You pay attention.
My fifth birthday. I'm trying to find the courage to dive in.
I remember it as if it was yesterday.
It's the last moment in my life
before I started to think about death.
Everybody goes, Billy.
There are three things that matter.
The manner of your going.
What you leave behind.
And where you're going afterwards.

You lose your heart to every case you take, don't you?
Passion, conviction, fearlessness.
All of them admirable qualities,
and all of them qualities shared by DCI Fitzpatrick.
- He's... - The other side of the same coin.
- No. - You only see what you need to see.
Look at the jacket.
- What?
- The blood on the sleeve means Sean's guilty, doesn't it?
Fitzpatrick wins, you lose.
The blood on the right sleeve.
The wound behind the left ear.
The killer's left-handed. Sean isn't.
You win.
- I didn't think... - No, you didn't.
You lost a game you could have won.
- Game? - And there's another game to play tomorrow
and, like all games, it's about winning and losing,
and that means everyone in it is corrupted.
After years a lawyer...
..Finally...
..At the death...
I've stopped playing the game and I told the truth.
I can't tell you how good that feels.
- What are you saying?
- I'm telling you.
Begging you.
Walk away.
No. Run.
Run for your life.
Martha.

EP03 Things don't add up
3季应当合并为一个整体来看，1季着重一个律师的成长，2季着重一个律师的职业技能，3季着重一个律师的职业操守和爱情，这个律师当然是MC。

这一集非常丰富，从PTSD，到天主教义，到伟大的母爱，这种“剥洋葱”式的故事讲述，最终能把故事圆满了，不容易。

EP02 U don't Know Football

Jordan成了英格兰足球史上一个出柜的运动员 虽然是在电视剧里 而且只是对自己的律师

Martha这一回第一次表现出比较感性的态度 询问client究竟怎么辩论 Clive和Martha末尾的drama 也印证了Martha对于client的态度

（27‘）实际上这一集讲work and family多一点 上一回Bill的医师讲到他会哭得多一点 这一回就哭了两次 You'll be there forever. 是大家对他的认可 也或许就是他自己对Shoe Lane的态度

Ps. Jack吃的是什么 （¯﹃¯）看起来就好好吃





EP01 Leave Me Alone

一部剧能够成功不仅需要情节的推进 主角的表现 台词的雕琢 很大程度上需要配角的支撑 比如这一集的CW 本来没什么表演（32‘）但是白色窗帷吹拂着 她put the exact date when she lost her chance for motherhood 作为QC 还需要怎么样的drama 怎样的表演呢？

和韩剧相比 英剧真是太简练了 不需要街拍一样的秀服装 每一帧都在推动情节 （48’）比如Ruby看着Shoe Lane 而Marsha从反方向走过来 被告知David losing himself的事实 而dad又恰巧走过来 不难猜测Rudy需要怎样的勇气来告诉他这个残酷的事实 哎……

副线Billy的情节也很灵动 真是内容丰富！

Ps （7‘）我真以为他们会在法庭上做爱呢

silk与the good wife 都是以女性为主角的律政剧，这两部剧最新一集都让人意外的虐死，而这两部剧的风格又完完全全不同……
  两剧的女主角都是律师大牛，强悍的女性角色，但性格完全不搭嘎，Alicia是那种对生活各个阶段目标非常明确的人，非常追求在别人心中的形象（虽然她自己多次否认，但她的家人都看出来了）同时非常清楚自己要什么，也不避讳去争取，从她争取客户挤走Cary，为公司互评向David lee 求情，争取合伙人身份，到离开Will自立门户，虽然看起来温柔，但她很能狠下心来放弃一些东西，不过她脱离了白莲花的形象，被人称为“selfish bitch‘反而更真实，更好看。
   而Martha，某些方面好像和Diane类似，但更虚幻更与众不同，某种程度上仿佛凌驾于办公室斗争之上，而the good Wife 里每个人对权势地位的认可都是非常明显的。
   比如最后一集，为了旧时情人，Martha可以激情澎湃去为他辩解到最后，但我觉得Alicia一开始也许就不会接这种案子。
至于Clive与Will，我能说其实这两人很类似么，哪怕Clive渣了些，’Will的去世又使Will的形象上升了一层，但从某种程度上来说，两人是一个风格的律师。


不好意思在Silk页面下，唠叨这一段，但是好想好想看：Martha对阵Cary，Alica对阵Clive，Will对阵另一个好牛的女Silk，biily对阵Klinda……乱锅炖什么的我最喜欢了……

声明：毫无法学基础，不对以下言论负任何责任。不过欢迎评论指出任何错误的地方。

silk这一季隔太久，我都忘了上一集在讲什么。这一季的中心很明显了——在最后十五分钟，托米奇之口——不管是警察还是律师都太迫于让自己所相信的观点被认可，真相反而被掩盖；整个法律体系在输与赢得争斗中失去其原本的意义，最好赶快逃出去。

尚有余温的legal high试图告诉我们，律师并不是侦探，律师的职责不是所谓追求真相，而是帮助委托人赢得胜利；而本剧则反思律师们是不是太在意输赢，反而忽视了最重要的”真相“？这样看来，也许是有趣的平衡。

让我们假设，宇宙中存在某种至高无上的神智（或者某种高度发达的文明所建立的律法条例，对于无神论的同学们），可以精准巧妙又恰如其分地为每一件事做出”正直“的判断。那么，有了这份”绝对正确的判定“，我们人类的任务就是无限接近它：

首先，承认人的智能是无法达到这个高度的，因此我们编造出”法则“，让规则来代替”人心“，提供更可靠、恒定、强壮的结论；
然后，条例无法自动执行（也许某种高等文明发明了”判例机“可以LOL），因此我们需要人来解释条例以匹配千千万万情况各异的事件；
再然后，对于不同人的解释我们需要有一个判定，鉴于没有任何个体能够确保完全的正确，那么我们交由一个群体来做出判断；
最后，对于整个”法则系统“的运行，要有一个人得以从近似管理员但实际不干预结果的偏向性（而不是不干预结果）来确保这套系统的正确运转。

于是我们有了（各种律政剧里看到的）法律体系。

那么就很清楚了：不管是追求输赢还是追求正义，律师们和警察们一起在努力，从两个方向出发、利用平衡巧妙地接近所谓”绝对真理“。那么不管是李狗嗨还是丝绸，所提倡的结果是一样的：让”人们“更了解这个系统是如何工作的，从而保证这一体系的正确运行。对于追求输赢的，努力跳脱出判定输赢的规则，尝试以真相而不是判决书判定正义是否得到伸张；对于追求正义的，也记着并不是自己——而是包含了自己的整个系统——的努力，才让真相得以获得最妥善的对待。

如果是这样，我还能说服自己为什么你国的法律体系选择了由法官而不是陪审团作出判决：那些口口声声喊着”人民“的人，他们其实清楚地知道，我们的”人民“还远不够资格为自己、为他人做出判定。（不服气吗？翻出你的租房合同，看看它包含了你实际遇到的情况的百分之多少？）
Our people is not prepared to be LAW MEN.（硬拗英语何苦嘞……）

当然我也仅仅是猜测。整个宇宙有着漫长的过去以及总有终结的未来，也许并不在意中间某个渺小星球上转瞬即逝的文明罢了。所谓“绝对正义”，也不过是因为相信“总有方法让人们更好地活下去“而成立的。

但你总要相信点什么，不是吗。
