In the end, it doesn't matter how old you live. What matters is how you spent these years.

About a year ago, I saw a girl on Tianya who opened a post saying that she would recommend a very interesting American drama with corrupt elements. The rotten girl was inherently troubled, without any hesitation—I just clicked in and watched.

That post was full of pictures and texts, and it was about some funny clips of gay couple mitchell and cam. But because I am a person of color control, I saw cam and I had little interest at the time. Then I just got on and off the PT from school and put it on the computer, and then I forgot.

Yes, forget a play there, because there is no particular reason to think of it.

Until half a year later, it was really boring on a certain holiday, so I clicked on the show, and then became "mad" irresistibly-I recommend this show to all my friends, as innocent and happy Child.

This American drama, which is popular all over the country in the United States but is not popular in China, revolves around the story of three families. Between them, there is a complicated relationship, a special personality, mixed together, constant embarrassment, constant contradictions, but they are always so warm.

If there is anything in this world greater than love, it is probably family affection. At least, that's what I think.

I think most families are like Claire and Phil's families.

There is a parent in this family who claims to be your bff, and is doing his best to play this role, pretending to be cute; the other parent is always strict and often angers and runs away because you did something wrong. Just like what claire said to luke: you can't expect two parents who are off the line, it is normal for a parent to have one person! Maybe just use the common sayings, the father is strict and the mother is kind, and vice versa.

There is always a group of innocent children in this family who may be adolescent, may be smart and strong, or have no brains at all-or have all three. Of course, this is very unlikely in a modern family of five in China. , Blame that X's family planning.

It can be said that the family formed by C&P is the family that can resonate most with the people. It's like when going to court, lawyers like to emphasize that their client is as ordinary as most of the jury members; to resonate in order to get better ratings-otherwise, how can it be so easy to defeat the big bang theory?

Of course ? , If it’s just to tell the story of such a family, I believe that this American drama will be reduced to another exquisite but uninspired copy of the classic comedy such as the Simpsons or the Romance of Mom and Dad.

Therefore, two other families are needed.

Tsundere and awkward Ben 7 old man Jay, and his beautiful and flowery beauty Gloria, and Gloria's young and mature "oil bottle" manny. This typical family with old couples and young wives incorporates a lot of non-mainstream elements that have gradually become mainstream due to mainstream magazines or the tolerance of entertainment media, such as true love between old couples and young wives.

To be honest, I didn't believe in true love between old couples and young wives. At the beginning, Wendi Deng’s little three legend will not be mentioned. The combination of Yang Weng-no matter what everyone says-I can't believe the phrase "true love" anyway. However, I am willing to believe in the love between Master Jay and Gloria. Perhaps it is not love, it is a kind of warmth.

Lin Huiyin once wrote to Xu Zhimo’s love letter, there are a few verses later regarded as classics: "You are a tree with a tree blooming, and a swallow is whispering among the beams. You are love, warmth, and hope. You are the world. April day. "

Yes, maybe at first I didn't think that Gloria married Master Jay out of love, and the world would think that she was just for his wealth. But maybe—as Gloria said herself, she might be tired of the crazy and energetic life of her Colombian relatives, maybe she was moved by Master Jay’s shyness and sweet words, or maybe it was the previous paragraph. The failed marriage made her understand what she really needed. In short, Gloria may really fall in love with Master Jay.

Love does not know where it originated, but it is always deep in love.

For some reason, I would like to believe that there is a true love between them that is born of warmth and family.

Such a unique family is already very strange-it is inevitable that young people who want to chase Gloria will mistakenly think that Master Jay is Gloria's father and challenge Master Jay's self-esteem many times (laughs)-but, add one more Manny, the precocious little old man's son. This family is like a strange combination, mixing all the discordant elements together. It seems to be out of order, but in fact, let it go with the flow and contain its own mystery.

And another family, needless to say, used the elements that are now popular in TV dramas in almost every country-BL, Tanmei, and homosexuality.

There have been some self-ridicules in the entertainment industry. One of them is that whenever a young male star wants to shoot a male male movie or TV MV or something, everyone will comfort themselves, and the film will become popular. This sacrifice is worthwhile.

But it is undeniable that BL suddenly became "rampant" after the 1980s. The speed of its popularity has made me, an old man who is no longer young, a little surprised. When I told people that I was a rotten girl a few years ago, everyone looked at a loss, but now it is full of water. Everyone in Jiangshan does not have the same situation as friends.

From the previous taboos to the current ridicule of the familiar road, whether it is from the TV and movies in the entertainment circle or from the details of life around us, I have unexpectedly discovered that this is a generation that you must not know what homosexuality is. .

I'm not saying that the CP pair cam and mitch are using BL as a gimmick, because which character in this show is not full of gimmicks? I just said that watching the two actors interpret the life of the Gay Couple in a comical and special way, suddenly there is a complex and subtle mood-on the one hand, I will always be amused by laughter, on the other On the one hand, I can't help but find that BL and Tanmei are never equated with homosexuality.

But what do you want to do?

This is an extremely splendid life show. Each starring and supporting role are excellent comedians. They may act in their true colors, or they may have superb acting skills. They outline an extremely beautiful small circle, this In the circle, there are partners who can stay with you for life, you can have endless conflicts every day, you can have the warmth and support of raining and sunny, and you can have a group of dear family members guarding you.

If life can live as arbitrarily joyful as in this show, in fact, there is really no regret, right?

However, this is just a comedy, not a life drama, so we can only watch it seriously, but we can't really hope that such a beautiful and happy family like a fairy tale will be easily promised by life.

When I was young, I felt extremely complicated every time during the holidays. Because there is a big family and my father is the eldest son, there are always many relatives who come to my house for dinner every time during the festival. This time is always my happiest time. Lively. Fortunately, happy. However, whenever people are full of food and drink and people leave the table and move to the living room to chat, I start to feel anxious, because I know-I'm waiting-waiting for the first person to stand up and say "Ah so late It's time for us to go back^_^" and the others left one by one.

This kind of time is always one of the saddest moments of my childhood.

Because how much I hope that the person who loves you in my life is always by your side, and the family is always within your reach.

But in this world, the person who will always love you will not always be by your side, and the person who will always be by your side will not always love you.

Therefore, I like the words Lincoln once said: In the end, it doesn't matter how old you live. What matters is how you spent these years.
