Testimony of N aka N No Tame Ni
L'amore incondizionato
Ci saranno spoiler!
Colpa mia.
Vostro Onore sono colpevole di aver pensato che questa serie fosse un thriller investigativo fatto di indagini, prove, caccia al colpevole e poliziotti ovunque. Pensavo che avrei visto la polizia interrogare i sospettati, indagare i moventi, seguire piste ecc ecc ed invece... niente di tutto questo. Motivo per il quale, arrivata in fondo alla visione, sono rimasta "delusa" dall'andazzo generale del drama. Per colpa mia, ripeto. Sono stata fuorviata dalla lettura di "poliziotto" nella trama su mydramalist e questo mi ha portata fuori strada.
Ma andiamo con ordine.
La serie parla effettivamente di crimini e misteri:
"La studentessa universitaria Sugishita Nozomi, assieme a Naruse Shinji, Ando Nozomi e Nishizaki Masato finiscono per imbattersi nella scena dell'omicidio della famiglia Noguchi, a causa di un piano da loro ideato. Nishizaki viene arrestato sulla scena e condannato a 10 anni di prigione per la sua confessione volontaria.
10 anni dopo, Takano Shigeru, un ex agente di polizia che nutre dubbi sul verdetto di questo caso, inizia a cercare la verità sul caso. È convinto che tutto sia iniziato a seguito di un incidente causato da Nozomi e Naruse su un'isola nel Mare Interno di Seto nell'estate di 15 anni fa.
"Hanno commesso un crimine in quel momento ed era per il bene di N." [mydramalist]
Tuttavia contro ogni mia previsione, la serie si concentra sull'emotività e sull'introspezione piuttosto che sulla risoluzione del caso. Non ci sono ricerca di prove, visionamenti di telecamere o tutto ciò che di solito vediamo in un drama di ricerca della verità, poiché Testimony Of N decide di narrare le vicende concentrandosi sui personaggi, sulle loro psicologie e traumi. La logica narrativa viene dunque piegata al simbolismo, alle emozioni, con le azioni dei personaggi che risultano esagerate fino a diventare quasi poetiche.
Protagonista principale non è tanto l'omicidio, l'azione di morte e chi sia stato ma sono i temi a farla da padrone: dalle varie sfumature dell'amore, agli obbiettivi per il futuro. E ancora, il senso di colpa, il tema dell'abbandono e della redenzione, per dirne alcune.
Ne è un esempio lampante la storia tra i due lead protagonisti, dove la ragazza protagonista decide di coprire il crimine dell'altro, gesto di una simbologia così grande che si parla di " un amore dove si condivide il peccato." Il loro legame è così forte che si proteggeranno a prescindere da qualsiasi crimine uno dei due possa compiere.
E se da una parte tutto ciò è bellissimo, dall'altra , da un punto di vista logico e narrativo, tutto questo sentimento un po' mi decade quando scopri che in realtà lui non ha commesso alcun crimine. Certo, rimane l'azione di lei nel proteggere il ragazzo che gli piace a prescindere da tutto. L' amore incondizionato appunto. Ma d'altra parte, mi sento derubata sulla trama poiché non esiste nessuna motivazione iniziale, nessuna azione criminosa compiuta dal lead.
Ovviamente, è il gesto che conta. Questo è quello che la serie ci sta dicendo. E ripeto, è molto bello. Poetico. Ma onestamente mi sono sentita un po' presa in giro.
Un esempio simile lo si più trovare nel finale con Nishizaki che si offre come volontario nell' assassino della coppia, nonostante sia innocente, poiché da bambino non ha salvato sua madre dall'incendio in cui è morta. Siccome non ha pagato per quel "peccato" eri un bambino figliolo!!! si prende l'incarico di colpevolezza per questo assassinio. Per espiare i suoi crimini verso la madre, dice. Tutto molto bello. Molto poetico.
Ma 1) eri un bambino abusato da tua madre che nelle belle giornate ti usava come posacenere e 2) sono due crimini diversi con contesti e protagonisti diversi.
Questa scelta narrativa da una parte mi è piaciuta poiché offre una visione diversa, emotiva e poetica della storia mostrando come anche una serie così possa esser raccontata in modo differente dal solito. Dall'altra però, non ha soddisfatto la parte investigativa che c'è in me. Quella che non vedeva l'ora di mettere insieme pezzi e prove per scoprire assieme alla polizia il colpevole. Nonché quella che ama la logica narrativa ed il cinismo della ragione.
Testimony offre poi uno sguardo intenso e approfondito dei suoi personaggi, gran parte con traumi e abusi infantili che si riflettono poi nelle loro vite da adulti e questo mi è piaciuto molto. Il fatto che ciò che hanno subito da piccoli si ripercuota emotivamente su loro da adulti è una cosa che ho trovato affasciante.
Onestamente, non ho mai trovato così tanti characters con un infanzia così difficile come in questa serie, dando la palma d'oro alla protagonista femminile. Chiariamoci, non è che gli altri se la passassero meglio... ma vederla piangere nel finale assieme alla madre, mentre finalmente lascia uscire fuori tutto il dolore e la paura di morire, sapendo la sua storia e quando sia stata dura per lei arrivare fino a qui, ha commosso pure me.
La serie fa infatti un lavoro encomiabile nel tratteggiare i suoi personaggi, grazie anche alla divisione della storia in 3 linee temporali diverse che ripercorrono la vita di questi ragazzi, mostrandoci come e perché siano così psicologicamente strutturati e perché abbiano fatto quello che hanno fatto. Così facendo lo spettatore può empatizzare per loro, comprenderli e sentirli molto più vicini.
La decisione di strutturare la storia in tre linee che coprono anni mi ha un po' destabilizzata all'inizio: capire in che periodo di vita dei ragazzi fossimo e tenere le fila delle vicende non è stato facilissimo ma dopo un po' ci ho preso la mano ed è diventato sempre più facile. Anche se ciò presuppone un attenzione costante da parte dello spettatore.
La serie ha inoltre due grandi colpi di scena. E se sul primo possono esserci degli indizi, il secondo è totalmente inaspettato. Sfido chiunque ad arrivare alla fine e sgamare il colpone nascosto! XD
Concludendo: pur non essendo nella mia lista dei drama preferiti, Testimony of N è un bel drama. Ed è fatto bene. Profondo, tragico ed introspettivo con buonissimi colpi di scena, la serie regala allo spettatore che cerca un drama più riflessivo, ottime ore di visione con personaggi intriganti ed interessanti. Visione da evitare invece se come me cercate un drama più legato a canoni d'investigativo e poliziesco, che ruota sulla ricerca della verità.

i can’t fathom the number of muslims the us in particular have raped and tortured and starved and killed in all the years + especially the last few decades + now in ghazzah i actually cannot even wrap my head around it but they will pay for every single life and they will suffer eternally
#the testimonies and photos n videos coming out of al shifa. ya allah#and how many times have they done it and we didn’t see? iraq and afghanistan and syria and yemen over and over again. allah reham kare#and sudan 💔 but that is more uae-fuelled. but everybody knows who uae is aligned with too!#🧩

much to say about john lennon truly but it tickles me how so many people are so repulsed by the idea that john lennon (might have) had an eating disorder (despite him very obviously having had one) because i guess that makes him “weak” and “feminine” in their eyes and not invincible and macho like they thought he was etc etc
#its always the argument that “it was the macrobiotic diet” (symptom and not the cause) and “it was the drugs” which they definitely did play#a role but i also dont think most people who are normal about their body refer to themselves as “disgusting huge fat pigs” in interviews#and resent other people for not gaining as much weight as them#now do they#tangentially related but much to say about beatles fans unconditionally trusting some people no matter what because their testimonies#feed into their m******n agenda many such cases etc.

its really astounding to me just how much the ringleader eric/victim dylan myth has persevered over the years. even in the community. ~2015 columbinetumblr was all about sweet sad angel dylan and sexy sociopath killer eric.. seems like we are only recently starting to shift the collective narrative
#mine#columbine#eric harris#dylan klebold#aside from the biggest and most obvious proof (E being more stoic during the massacre and D being more rowdy)#there are also SO MANY testimonies from students that suggest dylan was kindof a major dick who terrorized his classmates often#while most stories of eric being a socalled bully are just run of the mill teenage asshole shit? dylan was a straight up TERRORIST😭#ofc theyre both complex and contain many facets blablablabla#but it rly seems dylan was anything but the gentle naive angel he is portrayed as#n it goes without saying that the differences in how klebold n harris families have publicly spoken ab the massacre has had unimaginable#impact on this#but thats a whole other canna worms xd

October 14 At a shop in Khan Yunis that does various types of printing, I found a graduation hat with text that reads, With my husband’s love, and my parent’s prayers, I’ve fulfilled my dream. The shop owners told me that the hat was ordered by a student celebrating their graduation from Al-Aqsa University. The party had been scheduled for the sixth of October, a day before the conflict began. It might seem trite to be talking about celebrations given what’s going on. But the mainstream media seems to forget that Palestinians are also people with hopes, dreams, aspirations—which have all been denied by the Israeli occupation. My family and I left our homes in Gaza last Saturday. We evacuated from two further places before arriving in Khan Yunis. Now I’m here with fifteen other family members: two of them elderly, one disabled, two teenagers, and two very young children. We’re all squeezed into our cousin’s three-bedroom apartment in the center of Khan Yunis. We’re thankful to have a roof over our heads. Without mattresses, we’re sleeping on the floor. There’s no power, hardly any water. We have diverted sinks to buckets underneath, using the collected gray water for flushing. We have a single camp-style stove to cook on. I’m pointing to a drone that you probably can’t hear. Drones are now an ever-present part of our lives. They can bring death at any moment. I’m worried they will target me for documenting what’s going on. I have passport privilege and could leave, potentially. I’d love to leave. I’d love to be able to be somewhere where there’s running water, where I don’t have to worry about charging a device to have light, where I can just flick a switch or turn a faucet, where I can get bread, just like that. But ultimately I think there’s something more important than that: taking a stand and making sure that Israel does not drive us out of our land once again. Israel did it in 1948, they pushed out 700,000 Palestinians. And Israel is continuing what they started in 1948. Israel is a state that was founded on the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and they’re trying to finish off the job. I want peace, like every single Palestinian. And the only route to peace is through this stretch of land that Israelis and Palestinians both call home. The only route to peace is through justice and human rights and dignity for both Israelis and Palestinians, not through bombing, intimidation, and violations of human rights.
—Mohammad Ghalayini, quoted in "Can You Tell Us Why This Is Happening?: Testimonies from Gaza," in N+1

you've probably been asked this question LOADS of times, but what would ollie and kari look like as humans? for some reason, i always imagine kari as being Thai or Vietnamese (i think it might have something to do with her horns—thai and vietnamese dragons usually have 1-3 curved horns—and maybe her hair?) while i see ollie as maybe Greek (mostly because of his hair and jawline) and/or Anglo-Italian
honestly that probably sounds about right 🤔 im p open to vague interpretations of them as humans since Ollie's kinda a mixmatched made up nationality and Kari is from a whole different realm so there could be multiple possibilities tbh but that sounds like an accurate realm 👍
#i aint drawin it bc i have enough i want to draw but yall r open to draw it urselfs lmfao#like human ponti being a ginger potentially making him irish pfffft#i drew ollie n kari as humans a looong time ago but they hella changed since then so i aint resurfacing those sksksk#it was on my old accnt that got deleted anyway so they probably long gone#theres just wisdom teeth testimonial asks i might answer when i actually get the surgery lmfao

so much misogyny goes so unrecorded like i briefly had a crisis over my dissertation like maybe its not that deep and im being a snowflake but the thing is even though you can also always find examples of men being openly hostile and terrible a lot of the time you just look back and see a woman who didn’t progress with her career and you don’t know that its because her male bosses privately didn’t think a woman was competent or her husband made her feel guilty for working. most of the misogyny that impacts my daily life i have to stop and think... when they look back they’ll never know this was happening to us!!!
#read this article of testimonies of womens experience in academia in the present day#n realised this is literally the same as what must have been happening to my edwardian meow meows#and you can see the impacts of it but theres no record of it happening unless the woman is there to tell you herself#and so often we are struggling to even identify and name it when it happens right now#let alone in the past#i just am really grappling with the tendency to have everything be understood as complex and subtle and deep rooted#but with historical women its like well misogyny is when women were in the kitchen and if she goes outside shes an unoppressed girlboss#like the vast majority of women in history worked what now#some of it is literally well meaning too like in an effort to celebrate women or w/e#but theyre always just like well she girlbossed despite the odds but then its like#this is someone who had to be so brilliant just to get crumbs#and if she'd been a man she would probably have been a household name#but she's basically just like a novel footnote to the household name man#because we don't comprehend the extent of what was holding her back we just go well. she wasn't in the kitchen so its nice that she got to#do something:)#and not like the fact that we are basically staring at a tremendous loss for the world its like a tragic what if more than something to#celebrate
