What's impressive about HBO's new drama Chernobyl episode 4?

In this play, we saw a lot of things. You can have a look if you are interested.

There are five episodes in Chernobyl, and the fourth episode has been filmed. The last episode is naturally the IAEA Vienna Conference, so the final result will not be spoiled. Anyway, this film is also a flashback. You must know what it's like to see suicide.

The essence of the fourth episode is the 90 seconds when Soviet soldiers shovel graphite on the roof. A minute and a half of long footage makes me feel a little suffocated. Pale light, concrete blocks and graphite blocks were blown all over the floor, Geiger counters crackled, and there was inner tension and fear. This is the most dangerous place on earth, with an hourly radiation of 12000 roentgen, but at the same time there are people fighting it.

Under the long lens, I saw two colors, pale and colored. Paleness represents the disastrous consequences of the accident, color represents sacrifice and hope, and represents the martyrdom spirit of the Soviet people and the hope that the nuclear leakage will be finally controlled.

In "Elegy of Chernobyl", a soldier also said that the Soviet red flag on the roof was changed every day, and the people who changed the flag knew that they were carrying out a mortal task, but they went anyway.

What kind of eyes should we look at them? I don't know.

What impressed me most in this episode was the two-minute hand-held long lens cleaning the roof, the continuity of lens presentation and emotional presentation, and the amazing degree of adhesion between the two. From the crackling radiation alarm, to the dazzling white sun rays, to the murderous graphite everywhere on the messy ground, and then to the comparison between "inside (human) and outside (hell)". Cleaning the roof manually is the ending of this episode in the plot, which is the finishing touch in emotion and conception.
