A Review of The Stalker
The play is set in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. During this period, people are living in dire straits. The background of this era laid the heavy narrative tone of the whole play. In addition, through the design of shooting angle, light proportion, composition and lens connection logic, the drama strengthens the sense of coldness and depression layer by layer, giving audio-visual weight to match the story.
As a drama of the Republic of China, this drama not only has traditional elements such as spy, gunfight, stealing intelligence and stories full of tension and suspense, but also tries to integrate the way of life drama into the creation, adding emotional elements such as affection, friendship and love, as well as plot elements such as trust, betrayal and sacrifice. Formally, the enemy's darkness is used to replace the enemy's darkness, which makes the story follow, and the characters stay calm in times of crisis, telling the audience the story of an unknown hero on the hidden front.
