"Baby Reindeer" review
"Baby Reindeer" 是Richard Gadd創作的一套黑色喜劇驚悚迷你劇,每集都由Gadd自己編劇。這部劇集根據Gadd 被人跟蹤的真實經歷改編,Gadd飾演Donny Dunn,Donny是根據Gadd本人改編的人物。這劇集充滿著黑色幽默,就像Donny試圖成為喜劇演員卻遭到觀眾的嘲笑一樣,有種幸災樂禍的感覺。 雖然Donny被跟蹤的一些情況也顯現得有趣,但這些情況的本質卻被明確地表現得是令Donny恐懼和不安的。 演員的演出都是一流的,Gadd代入在自己的虛構版本中,透過Donny展示了自己當年被人跟蹤的恐懼和脆弱,Jessica Gunning飾演跟踪唐尼的迷戀者Martha,而Nava Mau飾演Donny的變性人女友Teri,漸漸地被Martha跟蹤Donny的事件而影響自己和Donny的關係。這劇集探討了被跟蹤會造成的創傷,Donny(以及Richard Gadd 本人)身上發生的事情明確地提醒我們,男性也可能受到性侵犯和侮辱,應該更廣泛地看重這一類帶來創傷的事件。總括而言,"Baby Reindeer" 是一部黑色幽默的迷你劇,有精湛的演出、出色的劇情,以及對性侵犯和跟踪造成的心理創傷有深入的探索,是一套我非常推薦的劇集。
Baby Reindeer is a black comedy thriller drama miniseries created by Richard Gadd, with each episode written by Gadd. Gadd stars as Donny Dunn, a fictionalised version of himself, in a series based on Gadd's troubled real-life experience of being stalked. The series is darkly hilarious, like Donny's attempts to be a comedian being met with derision from his audience, which makes it all the more funny for us viewers. While some of the situations surrounding Donny being stalked is also portrayed as funny, the situation itself is rightfully shown as horrifying and unsettling. The performances are top-notch, from Gadd inhabiting his own fictionalised version and showing his own fears and vulnerabilities through Donny, Jessica Gunning as the obsessive Martha who relentlessly stalks Donny, and Nava Mau as Donny's girlfriend Teri, a transgender woman who increasingly buckles under the weight of what is happening to Donny and how it affects their relationship. The series examines just how traumatic being stalked can be, and what happens to Donny (and by extension Gadd) serves as a grim reminder that men can be sexually assaulted and degraded too, and it should be seen more widely and as the traumatizing event that it is. "Baby Reindeer" is a gripping, darkly funny miniseries with dialed-in performances, excellent writing, and an excellent exploration of the psychological trauma and personal ripple effects of sexual assault and stalking, and one that I highly recommend.
