My grandmother used to say:
Even if you say, "There's a wall in front of you, slow down or you'll crash". A person will never see that wall until he hits that wall."
The anatomy of violence and domination against women is covered step by step. There is a young, beautiful and bright singer in a life full of masks that being famous and popular has to wear. She, who also has a mentor who protects and watches over her, is actually a very lucky person. But in this world of fame and glory, she has a brainwashing cancer-turned-a relationship that continues.
It is a story that relationships with violence will not stop until the violence reaches its climax. It is very logical that they tell this through popular music and songs. It is the most accurate storytelling in reaching today's generation Z and stimulating the simple minds. It's kind of like a public warning promotion. In these respects the article is very good.
Micha is a great face in the "No More" movement. In the violence suffered by women, she becomes silent or continues the gangrene relationship. Because there is no hope left for the dream of another life. She sees her destiny in accepting that violence. She or she is helpless against violence (This topic is covered extensively in 20s 14e). Or she is trapped by tradition and family rules.
Or she wants to maintain a relationship of mutual interest as in this story. Today, love is experienced by showing people on social media and screens. Frankly, I don't find it sincere. When you're with someone, photographing and sharing intimate moments shows you care about 3rd parties. Not that you care about your love. Nowadays, unfortunately, 3rd eyes rule our lives.
Micha has become blind with that 3rd eyes. She lived her diseased relationship until the last gangrene state. She has already killed her mentor in life in her mind. That's why we shouldn't be surprised by what she do.
This story is great until the last part. But I hated the last part. That's why this part is among the bad parts of the svu that I rarely keep. If I knew how to explain better, I would give 1 point. However, I gave 6 points because I couldn't give an idea how to explain it better.
What I don't like about the last part is the drawing of Micha's fate as a lesson in the story. In my opinion, that part should never be done and the result should be left to the audience or presented in some other way.
People don't like being told, "Look! You didn't do this, this will happen to you in the end" like a child. They get stubborn... Micha and Caleb's relationship has also turned into stubbornness with the D.a and Svu.
You have imposed the "I am right" mode on people. So you said to people, "You are wrong". Because of this, people are starting to go against you. Instead of correcting the wrong in himself, he begins to hold on to that wrong completely. This is what I meant when I said you pretended to give a lesson. This point of view cannot convince even elementary children and makes them stubborn.
Make sure the audience eventually understands what you want to tell. That's why most reviews and criticisms come. Svu doesn't need lesson endings like this.
As activism, I support slogans and actions. I fully support Mariska on this. However, at the end of the script, "what we said happened." I didn't like your message at all. Svu should not have a place for activism...
Sometimes let us hit the wall.
