Person of interest - "Interesting !"

Ce are deosebit - ca idee - serialul "Person of interest"? Sa fie masina care supravegheaza totul? Eu zic ca nu, ci mai degraba ea este un McGauffin a la Hitchcock. Si atunci, ce?

<< "Person of interest" is a phrase used by law enforcement when announcing the name of someone involved in a criminal investigation who has not been arrested or formally accused of a crime. The phrase was adopted by the media and widely disseminated, thus most law enforcement agencies have picked up the term. It has no legal meaning, but it is a "catchy" term. "Law enforcement officials say that the term simply reflects the new tactics required to fight terrorism. But some legal scholars say officials are trying to create a more benign public image, even as their power expands."[1] While terms such as suspect, target, and material witness have clear and sometimes formal definitions, person of interest remains undefined by the U.S. Department of Justice. It is often used as a euphemism for suspect, and can sometimes result in a trial by media. >>  (WIKIPEDIA)

 Ce idee principala folosesc toate povestile politiste, fie ele filme, seriale, carti sau altele? Are loc o infractiune, mai mult sau mai putin grava, si apoi cineva - autoritati, detectivi, persoane private - "investigheaza" in cautare de suspecti si de probe (pentru a le dovedi vina). In prima faza, inainte de a fi suspecti, persoanele din "peisajul" infractiunii sunt "persons of interest".
Oricat ar fi de diferite intre ele, toate povestile "politiste" au partea aceasta comuna. 

Sa vedem insa care este ideea principala din serialul amintit: "Se da" - ca la matematica - o "persons of interest" si sa se afle: infractiunea (care va urma!)  si daca acea persoana de interes este victima sau agresor. Povestea politista clasica este "deja investigata" de masina, care isi face treaba ca orice McGaufiin care se respecta. 

Avem deci un model de poveste intors pe dos.

"INTERESANT!" - cum ar spune Sherlock, House sau Patrick Jane.
