    ? Lehman Brothers Trilogy

    Spanning nearly two hundred years and continuing for three generations, "Lehman Brothers Trilogy" tells the legendary epic of Lehman Brothers, a family business that changed the world.  On a cold September morning in 1844, a young man from Bavaria stood on the pier in New York, dreaming of a new life in the New World.  He was joined by two brothers, and a history of American struggle began.  163 years later, the company they established went bankrupt and triggered the worst financial crisis in history The original play was created by Italian Stefano Masini, translated into 11 languages ??and performed in many European countries.  national stage.

    The English version of The Lehman Brothers Trilogy is directed by Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall, King Lear, The Ferryman), UK National  Co-artistic director of the theater Ben Ball translated and adapted the script, three representatives of the British acting school - two-time Olivier Award winner Simon Russell Beale, Tony Award-nominated actors Ben Miles and Adam Gold  Lee played the whole stage and played all the characters.

    As a new word-of-mouth drama that was sold out early at the British National Theater in 2018, it was transferred to the West End in 2019 and continued to be popular at the box office. It was nominated for five awards including Best New Play and Best Actor in a Drama, and gave five-star praise "  The Guardian praised: "Unparalleled night, textbook-like acting skills", and the "Times", which also scored five stars, fully affirmed the arrangement of director Sam Mendes and handed over "the best appearance of the drama".

    This week I finally watched the Lehman Brothers trilogy. In the past two years, people in the circle of friends have praised this from time to time, and all of them received five-star praise. The last time the response was so good was the alcoholic Murphy and Eugene Onegin.  , before Hamilton.

    Because Hamilton is famous, I will use it here as a benchmark. I personally think that Lehman Brothers is better than Hamilton in terms of rhythm, visibility, and depth.  Of course, I have to admit that I may have a lower evaluation of Hamilton because of Hamilton's screenwriting + lead singer skills.

    Before watching Lehman Brothers, I thought it would be a very complicated story. After all, it talked about family, financial crisis and human nature. I didn’t expect it to be very "simple". After watching this show, my first reaction was "simple".  The director's subtraction was very thorough. There were three actors playing all dozens of roles in the audience. The soundtrack was a very simple piano, and the stage equipment was a very simple lattice room. In short, everything including the lines was very "simple", but it  The simplicity is the level from the avenue to the simplicity.

    The plot of Lehman Brothers is rare. The director did not handle it at all complicated. There is nothing confusing or incomprehensible about all the plots and characters. Even the science of various financial operations is very simple and easy to understand.  It will be boring, but in this scene, it will make you feel a sense of accomplishment, a sense of substitution, and a lot of fun.

    The script is difficult to evaluate, the rhythm is so good that I can’t even count the highlights, the veins are very clear and natural, and the tension keeps increasing without the need for reversal. All of us know the ending before watching it.  Still very excited to watch?  I can't analyze it, because no matter whether it's the characters or the main line, it doesn't seem like a wonderful character or a wonderful story to retell, but they are very wonderful.  And there is no place where the chain is broken, why is such a simple dance beauty so beautiful?  The soundtrack is also amazing. I think the stage scheduling, actors' acting skills, etc. are all very good, but it is really difficult to explain to you when you disassemble and analyze it.

    —————————————————————

    Forget it, let’s post a film review. This time, I will post more short reviews. It’s useless to analyze how good this film is. I really have to feel the momentum by myself. Few dramas can make me feel the urge to give it a second shot on the spot.  It is highly recommended that everyone take the Lehman Brothers trilogy as their entry into ntlive, without any threshold and background knowledge for watching dramas.  Its "simplicity" is what I think is the most special and distinguishes it from other masterpieces - the thing that moves you the most and can hit your heart directly is always the simplest thing.

    1. Magnificent epic, sincere expression without pretentiousness.  The fate of the three people constitutes three images of the era, spanning centuries, and using events to state history.  The office of Lehman Brothers with transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, the scenery changes according to the changes of the times, and the transparent space rotates according to the changes of fate. Three people complete the multi-scene and multi-role interpretation in the limited space.  A tribute to the silent film.  In the three scenes, from germination, evolution, to the end, desires cannot be carried, ambitions are swallowed by the times, and even a common law of human destiny is seen. The final chanting is religious, returning to the starting point, and also after annihilation.  Rebirth, Lehman is gone, and human beings are still repeating themselves.  It may be the favorite drama I have watched in three years, and it is beyond words.

    2. Who is the best actor in drama?I can think of three actors, a glass box and a piano to hold up a 3-hour play, telling how Lehman Brothers went from Jewish immigrants from Germany to making a fortune from cotton to running coffee bean bank finance and finally going bankrupt for 160 years  Ups and downs, a three-act drama of three generations of heads.  First-class script, first-class director, first-class actors, first-class soundtrack, first-class soundtrack, all of which are the most perfect appearance a drama can have, this year's best

    3. If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that three actors and one fixed scene could interpret the 160-year ups and downs of a financial giant with such tension.  The interlacing of primary and secondary plots is loose and orderly, and the transformation of actors among dozens of characters from three generations is as relaxing and natural as if stepping through a non-existent dimension.  With a single piano background, a grand and tortuous extraordinary destiny unfolds into a long scroll on the stage.  The best NTL of the year, Amway is for everyone who wants to feel the charm of the stage.

    4. I watched the scene once, the English video three times, and the screening with Chinese characters, and I still feel very satisfied.  It embodies the high quality and maturity of every stage from the creation of the text to the creation of the stage play.  All additions, subtractions, and changes can be seen with consideration and consideration.  Talent and inspiration can be seen everywhere, and participants at each stage are doing what they are best at and most professionally.  There are a lot of skills, thoughts, high aesthetics, and things full of choices and trade-offs in this play.  This kind of wild thinking, but a solid creative method is the maturity of the industry and practitioners, which also gives this drama more things to learn from.

    5. It is probably too much to describe it as shocking the past and shining the present, but for those who are used to watching movies and rarely seeing dramas and other forms of art, the impact is extraordinary.  The acting skills that are several times better than those on the screen seem overwhelming and endless.

    5. Too awesome.  The plot and lines are exquisite everywhere, and the director's scheduling of the entire stage is really amazing.  This kind of subject matter should be a story that is either very boring or fake, but it makes people cry frequently.  Also full of inspiration for life.  Probably too sincere.  The beautiful human nature can only be beautiful after artistic processing.  It is also the first time that I think Grandpa Simon's play is great, even cute.  Modern drama can tell stories so purely, and tell people.  And at the same time, various stage arts are done in the most streamlined way to achieve the best appearance.  It's so awesome and shocking.

    6. A glass room, a piano, and three actors, who would have thought that such an extremely simple combination could tell such an extremely complicated story.  It's a trilogy of immigrant families, and it's a trilogy of America and the world.  Finance replaced industry as the center of the world, and when we invented concepts and terms in an attempt to create immortality, when was the moment when our dreams were shattered?  Perhaps as early as 2008, everything was doomed to end.  I feel like I understand Eliot's words for the first time, the world will end like this, there will be no gunshots, only sobbing (remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
