HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER!

How To Get Away With Murder is an American legal drama series created by Peter Nowalk and produced by Shonda Rhimes for ABC on September 25th, 2014

IGN's Amber Dowling called the pilot episode great by giving it a score of 8.0, commenting, "If you like series with a dark tone and intense beat, then this will do. As with most legal dramas, you have to suspend reality in order to accept the way in which some of the coincidences unfold".

"Viola Davis is the number 1 reason to see, but this is also the role that could put Alfred Enoch on the Hollywood map. Most of the characters are morally ambiguous, hungry and selfish, but they don't apologize for being that way, which makes them much more interesting and fun to watch".

It is not just any “series of lawyers”. The series focuses on the prestigious defense attorney and professor of law at the University of Philadelphia, Annalize Keating, and on the team made up of her best students who will apply her teachings in the various cases they will have to deal with.

CHARACTERS:

~Wes Gibbins-Alfred Enoch: He has a great sense of justice and is the outstanding student of Annalize.

~Michaela Pratt-Aja Naomi King: Brilliant and perfectionist although somewhat repellent, with some codependency, and an arrogant tone.

~Frank Delfino-Charlie Webb: He is Annalize's right hand man with very unorthodox methods and a big secret.

~Connor Walsh-Jack Falahee: He is cunning and stubborn with serious empathy problems, arrogant, wants everyone's attention regardless of the outcome.

~Asher Millstone-Matt McGorry: He is the prototypical alpha-male a bit loaded but with a heart and comic relief from the series.

~Laurel Castillo-Karla Souza: Idealistic and observant with a great sense of responsibility, at first she appears as a very simple, quiet character.

~Bonnie Winterbottom-Liza Weil: Faithful assistant to Annalize with a big problem of self-esteem.

HTGAWM follows a narrative structure in which three lines of action will alternate: The investigation of the murder of Lila Stangard, and the defense of one of the main suspects who will be the backbone of the series, will be joined with a narrated in flashforward mode the murder committed by four of the students and, consequently, the cover-up of the same; as well as episodic cases that will be indirectly related to the evolution of some of the characters.

This series really hooks you! it acts as a kind of clue for the viewer who will have to reconstruct the events so that the plot makes sense episode after episode. Is a great thriller with palpable tension and a mind-game plot full of surprising twists and cliffhangers that will make you look forward to the next chapter, a series that will leave you wanting to know more and more, and where all the elements are connected to perfection.

The duality of its protagonist: Annalize Keating will be configured as a ruthless, cold and calculating woman without any kind of remorse that instills fear and admiration among her students and who is respected, outside and inside the court.

However, beyond that facet, she will show herself as a woman full of insecurities and vulnerable; at the same time that she presents herself as a toxic character that will drag everyone around her to the most imminent destruction.

It is one of those shows that if you lose a chapter, the whole plot is complicated and you are lost, in one moment many things can happen and unravel your theories, or change all the rules of the game and leave you completely confused about what is happening.

It deserves all the respect for how well it is structured, for the diversity of the characters, for the great performance of Viola Davis, for the concept of the series, if you have not seen it yet, believe me you should, you will want to watch all the episodes in a day. At the moment Netflix only has until the fifth season, but you will be able to watch the sixth and last season on other online platforms.

THE INVISIBLE MAN!

 

Hello beautiful people, sorry for not publishing anything yesterday, but I had problems with my internet company and I was offline all day yesterday.

I bring you a super movie, it is full of drama, suspense, and pure emotion, he is called the invisible man.

The Invisible Man is a 2020 American thriller and science fiction film written and directed by Leigh Whannell. The film stars Elisabeth Moss and Oliver Jackson-Cohen and is based on the H. G. Wells novel of the same name.

Like the original story, this film begins with a brilliant scientist, physicist, inventor, optics expert: Adrian Griffin, this scientist is well recognized, is a billionaire, and is in a relationship that, to all outside observers, seems happy and stable. However, Cecilia is trapped.

Perverse terror floods the film, which is greatly elevated by Moss, an actress painstakingly familiar with the most thorny, distressing, and disturbing situations. Her Cecilia is a portrait of a woman desperately fighting for her freedom and haunted by the specter, real or imagined, of the terrifying Adrian.

Much of the film's most accomplished moments are comprised of open-ended shots in which the character of Elizabeth Moss finds herself isolated in a corner with a menacing void behind. Faced with the enormity of an empty frame we hope that something will appear, that something will materialize, that we will see a clue, that the monster will appear... But we see nothing.

We are already very deep in this plot and we realize that perhaps it is not a "physical" monster but something more psychological, something that can harass us, destroy us, without having to be present in the same room.

At the same time, the production design of the tape has impressive details. One of them is, of course, Adrian Griffin's house. an imposing glass palace where everything is seen, everything is guarded and everything seems transparent. This "beautiful jail", as Whannel described it, is open in every way: surrounded by ocean and grasslands as an oasis of freedom.

One of the scenes that most impressed me about the movie is when, Cecilia sits at a table to tell her sister and friend James why she decided to escape from the stormy relationship she had with Adrian. The description of what she suffered for years is gradual and incomplete. Cecilia speaks of a manipulative and aggressive man who imposes on her a way of dressing, eating, speaking, and, finally, thinking. She never says what the consequences of disobeying were, but when asked if he beat her, she responds: "among other things."

With that scene I can say with total accuracy that fear here forces silence, even after she believes her torturer is dead, Cecilia remains silent. Thus is drawn, beyond the silence of the victims, the lasting invisible power imposed by the victimizers. 

Fear, emotional scars, trauma, are vestiges that last: there is an oppressive physical presence that does not fade in the absence. Violence does not persist only in the physical marks it leaves, such as bruises and wounds, its longevity is hidden, also, in psychological oppression.

This excellent plot of psychological terror shows us once again that there is no need for vampires, zombies, or murderous robots since the human being can be the most frightening creature that exists on the face of the earth.

If you have not seen it yet, I recommend it 100%, they will not take off the screen for a minute and in the end, they will have a sense of freedom and internal peace along with the protagonist.

XOXO Li.
