Micron is serious

Whenever the editor laments the openness of the American people, they can always surprise you again.

The two leading actors of the drama recommended today, together, are almost 200 years old.

However, they still shine in the film and television industry.

One of the two leading actors should be very familiar to everyone.

Ian McLean.

Yes, he is best known to Asian audiences for his roles as Magneto in the X-Men and Gandalf the wizard in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Many people affectionately call him "Grandpa Ian".

And there is another, although everyone may not be so familiar, but also an old British actor.

Sir Derek George Jacobi, born on October 22, 1938 in Leytonstone, London, England, is a famous British actor and director. His main works include "The King's Speech", "Gladiator", "Erotic Painting", "Die Again", "Game End" and so on.

The two veteran actors have one thing in common, that is, they both resolutely and bravely chose to come out publicly in their early years.

That's right, this unique comedy introduced today tells their story.

"Superior Mate"

"The Best Mate".

"Needless Wife" is a gay-themed sitcom series by ITV, directed by Ed Baie and starring Ian McKellen and Derek Jacoby. It tells the life of a pair of gay husbands.

The story focuses on Freddie and Stewart, a pair of old comrades living in Covent Garden, London, England. The funny thing is that after 48 years of living together, Stewart still reported to his mother that they were roommates. And Stewart's mother actually believed that...

When they met when they were young, Freddie was a new actor and Stewart was a barman. Now that both of them have started to receive pensions, the sunset life of walking the dog, reading the newspaper, reading handsome guys, arguing at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed is still very exciting.

"Needless Wife" was written by the screenwriter and executive producer behind the classic comedy "Will and Grace" and the famous animation "Family Guy", and it attracted much attention before it aired. The two leading actors, as veteran British actors who have come out of the closet, have participated in numerous film and television works and stage plays. Their tacit understanding and interaction constitute the biggest attraction of the play.

In fact, it also has a translation called "Jiyanghong"... Listening to the name, you know that it is not a serious drama 2333.

But, trust me, it will definitely dispel your gay stereotype and make you laugh and cry.

Freddy, an 18th-line actor, is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, super narcissistic and mean.

Stewart, a full-time housewife and male, was born with a gene of thoughtfulness and gentleness.

Both of them are dead homes and do not like to socialize. Home furnishings, like a medieval history museum, the curtains are never opened, and they are afraid of light.

They kept dogs as companions, and for more than 40 years, the ashes of dead dogs have filled a cupboard.

The love preservation period is so long, this couple must be very exemplary?

wrong.

The mouths of the two are super powerful, and they will spray each other if they have nothing to do. As the saying goes, if you are well, you will be forced to grow old.

If you think you can see that kind of politically correct model drama of a model couple falling in love with each other, then you will be disappointed, because the old couple doesn't follow the usual path.

For example, every morning, Stewart would get up early, make tea, and call Freddie tea. But after Freddy got up and went downstairs, instead of saying "Thank you, hard work, dear", he changed his way every day to complain about Stewart's voice. Each episode has a different way of ranting.

In the first episode, Freddie said your startled scream was like a group of schoolgirls.

Until the last episode of the first season, I continued to complain: Why is your voice getting sharper and louder, and only the dog can hear it if it goes on like this.

Of course, Stuart will also "kill" back with a smile. You must know that another bad old man who can accompany such a bad old man for a lifetime must be very "bad". He is not a virtuous and virtuous little bee.

However, if you think that they only love each other without killing each other, then you are wrong again.

Between Freddy and Stewart, they have known each other for nearly fifty years, and they are no different from all the white-headed and old couples in the world, and even more deeply affectionate.

Their venomous tongues against each other are due to their unreserved care and love for each other. Each of their actions is a deep devotion and tenderness to each other hidden under the unrecognizable words.

They have been fighting each other for half a lifetime, but every morning for 48 years, Stewart has been making hot tea for decades, handing it to Freddie, and remembering to add a sugar cube for him every time.

They may not notice it, but they even drink tea like twins.

Their love has withstood the shattering of dreams and the encroachment of reality.

Freddie wanted to be an actor when he was young, and Stewart was a bartender and wanted to be a model. Later, Freddy became an actor, but the roles he received were all A Jia A Yi who did not have a name. Stewart, who also didn't become a model, quit his job to work as a cook at home.

Although nothing has been accomplished, having each other has become what they are most proud of.

Two people, together for half a lifetime, what are they most afraid of? boring.

But they always find joy in life: going to the gym in floral clothes, going to the bar together...

At the age when he was about to enter the ground, Freddy could still propose to Stewart in the presence of everyone. After living together for 48 years, the relationship has entered a new stage.

The two people in the play made people laugh and cry, but in reality, these two people have long been acquainted.

The two were friends when they were in college, and they have collaborated on film and television dramas and stage plays for many times. According to the grapevine, it is said that Derek Jacobi had a deep crush on Ian McLean when he was young. Of course, they have always been good friends, and this half-truth rumors can now be regarded as tacit jokes that do not require any confirmation.

Now they have been working to speak out for LGBT community equality and participate in same-sex equality marches.

The editor has always believed that the opening of European and American film and television themes is not only in those large-scale scenes that expose violence. If you only focus on these, it will be no different from Tang Wei's "Lust and Caution", which has been talked about all the time.

The real openness of Western film and television lies in treating them equally. It lies in the respect and tolerance for the choices each life makes independently.

And now, such a comedy with laughter and tears has come out to the second part. Even if you don't necessarily support LGBT, you can watch this show with a try attitude. After all, there is nothing wrong with the rainbow itself, it is the people who give it meanings.
