How to evaluate the first season of the American TV series Chernobyl?

What is a really scary horror movie like?

At the very least, it should not be mechanical, sharp and harsh, and it should not be unrestrained and mysterious.

But slowly lurks around you, drains the air around you, and then slowly engulfs you with fear, so that this feeling of despair can gently, slowly and firmly grip your throat.

Like this one today, the whole process of high-energy early warning is very scary. The deeper you go, the colder your back gets, your palms sweat and your chest tightens.

In particular, this latest drama with 9.7 points is not a suspense film or a horror film.

To be precise, this is a "seemingly suffocating" TV series.

The most nerve-racking thing is that all the stories in the play are not fabricated, but adapted from real people.

The story of this drama series is adapted from the darkest and most tragic nuclear accident in human history.

1at 0 1 24 a.m. on April 26th, 986, a nuclear leakage and explosion accident occurred in Reactor 4 of Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which shocked the whole world.

The explosion came suddenly and quickly. With a loud noise, the core of the nuclear reactor was directly blown to pieces, and thousands of tons of covers at the top were instantly blown off. In the center of the core, a 30-meter-high blue-white light shines directly into the night sky, and the dazzling white cuts through the strong black, which is strange and dazzling.

People were awakened by the fire alarm. They walked out of the house, looked at the radioactive dust falling from the sky, danced happily with the graphite fragments, looked up and said, it's beautiful.

They don't know that these dazzling blue and white lights have already fallen on them, eroded into their bodies, and sentenced them to death.

They have no idea that they are experiencing the most painful and terrible disaster since mankind entered the nuclear power era …

A set of data is frightening.

In the accident, 8 tons of strong radiation leaked, and its radiation dose was more than 400 times that of Hiroshima atomic bomb.

32 people died on the spot, 270,000 people suffered from cancer, of which 93,000 people died, and 2 billion people around the world were affected by the accident. It will take at least 800 years to eliminate the sequelae of the accident.

500,000 fire heroes went to the front line to participate in the disaster relief operation. Those firefighters who survived, called Chernobyl people, are no longer normal people, but nuclear reactors.

Pripyat, the city where Chernobyl is located, has become a "ghost town". Even after 33 years, there is almost no sign of life.

There is no large-scale naked erotic lens, no violence and blood that often cuts open the belly, and no foul language. When HBO is serious, it can still make people see Abarar get goose bumps all over.

There is hardly a horror film that makes people tremble so much. Three employees of the nuclear power plant walked into the scene of cooling water discharged from the reactor, and the sound of breathing, underwater sound and counter interspersed with each other, which made people feel creepy and sighed.

Although it is a TV series, it has a film-like texture in plot, performance, photography, soundtrack and editing. It is no exaggeration to say that the quality of this series exceeds that of most films of the same type …

But is this Chernobyl just to present a history and restore the real crime scene?

Not enough.

What it really wants to do is to delve into the cause of the accident, tear open the ugly face of the initiator, expose the ills in the political system and show the complexity of human nature.

The dark ending of Chernobyl after 33 years of precipitation and bleaching may be the real background of this play.

It is not only a technological disaster, but also a "man-made disaster" accumulated by lies and concealment.

The terrible thing is that people run and play under the snow-like dust and get in close contact with death.

What is even more frightening is that they are firmly kept in the dark by this false beauty.

As soon as the explosion happened, the instrument for measuring radiation soared to the maximum range of the instrument: 3.6 roentgens at the moment of opening.

The technicians selectively pretended to be deaf and dumb, so this data was quickly reported.

Government officials sat together and easily analyzed this "glorious and proud" meeting: the detected radiation did not exceed 3.6 roentgens, which is said to be equivalent to the radiation of a chest X-ray.

What about the facts?

Even the instrument with the maximum measuring range of 200 roentgen was out of the chart at the scene, and the accurate value of radiation was measured after many twists and turns: 15000 roentgen.

What's more, even if there is only 3.6 roentgen radiation, it is equivalent to 400 X-rays.

At the meeting, all the officials evaded the important and shirked their responsibilities in an attempt to cover up the world by playing dumb.

The supreme leader immediately made a decision to "defend the national honor": blockade the city, forbid anyone to leave, cut off the power lines, and we need to stop the people from destroying the fruits of their labor.

The decision was unanimously agreed by all the officials present. They stood up and applauded the wise SHEN WOO's decision.

In order to avoid panic, the government held the May Festival celebration as scheduled while concealing the severity of the accident, which caused more ordinary people, especially children, to suffer more radiation pollution.

Because they don't want more people and other countries to know the truth, the stupid decisions made by the top leaders have to be repaid with countless innocent lives.

Firefighters received the fire-fighting task at the first time, but deliberately concealed the information of the nuclear reactor explosion on the phone. Everyone was unprepared and didn't even bring decent protective tools.

At the scene, a fireman picked up the graphite with super radiation on the ground with his bare hands. Soon, his palm began to fester, oozing a lot of blood.

Within a few minutes, the firemen who rushed to the front line, some eyes were dull and empty, some faces were burnt, some exhaled blood, some skin cracked, and the whole body was covered with sores ...

Firefighters and researchers fell down one by one from the beginning, and then died in batches.

Three employees of the nuclear power plant stood up, walked to the reactor filled with water, opened the valve and let out the accumulated water inside. They are faced with a doomed fate.

When a group of officials in Kan Kan tried to escape, a group of heroes had no choice but to accept death.

And the truth, hidden in the strong pungent metal smell, hidden in the convulsive crow on the ground, hidden in the rapidly dying life.

Lies walk freely in the truth, the truth is ruthless, but lies will be accompanied by a price anyway.

But this lie is too dangerous.

It is dangerous, even far beyond nuclear radiation itself.

And the price is too high,

After all, they could have survived, survived.
