Write to this girl - Dana Fairbanks

Aletha 2022-03-21 09:03:17

There are relatively few comments on Dana on the Internet, and I really want to write something for this silly girl.
Without Dana's TLW, actor Erin Daniels doesn't want to watch it anymore, feels like watching his uninvited party, and it's not a good taste. I don't want to watch it anymore. Maybe I'm a person who can't say move on is just move on. I can't watch Alice naturally accept a new relationship. Shane was right, everyone just felt good about themselves and didn't realize how lonely Dana was dying. No one was really upset except her and Alice.

I can understand Alice's emotional trajectory very well. She is the one who really wants Dana to be happy. Before, she put herself under the cover of best best friend to promote Dana and Lara, and she didn't show jealousy because she recognized Lara in her heart. She is a good girl and can make Dana happy, so she is happy to see it happen. But since Tonya appeared, she started to get angry, she couldn't watch Dana being swallowed up by this woman who didn't conform to her values, so she also found that her true feelings for Dana came out from the bottom of her heart. Then it got out of hand.

But Dana lives a lewd woman with a low emotional intelligence, who is easily dazzled by desire, and a kind woman who is gentle and overflowing. When she cried, she was as sad as she was. So after Alice took the initiative to kiss, she quickly ignited her desire and fell in love with the feeling of semi-infidelity with Alice. I believe that if Alice hadn't kept pushing her to talk, she would have been procrastinating. In addition, Tonya is a smart person. She has long known that Dana and Alice have a problem, and she also knows that Dana can't say it, so she finds a way out for herself half helplessly and half impatiently. All this coincidence finally brought Dana and Alice together. Their short-lived love was portrayed as sweet, but Dana was emotionally immature until the breakup and the end of her life.

Dana, who came out of the closet, is very happy to pay for the love she believes, which stems from 15 years old and Ralph in training camp, and two failures with Lara. Therefore, although she was dissatisfied with Tonya, she still obeyed her words to the point where her friends couldn't stand it. She was happy for Alice, so she plucked up the courage to buy a really annoying dildo to wear. But in fact, at this time, Dana is young and energetic. What she wants is a free and relaxed relationship. She will give, but when she feels uncomfortable and restrained, she will run away involuntarily, and fate just happened to give her a chance , Alice confessed when she was with Tonya, and Lara invited her when she was with Alice. She was too repressed before, so it was more difficult than Shane to maintain a stable relationship, always getting lost in the reluctance to give, and then involuntarily going to the exit she thought. In fact, she has always been a little envious of Shane's former lifestyle, but she can't come and go like that, so she procrastinates, but it leaves deeper harm to those who have been intimate.

After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Dana is completely lost and can no longer get along easily with Lara. I don't know how to be a good Lara, she only cares about her in the same way as coaxing a three-year-old child, but she is not a child, which makes her even more unbearable. So she tells Bette that she loves Lara, can't stand her, but is more afraid of being alone.

The cancer and her temper escalated step by step, and Lara finally left. At this time, standing beside her was the mature and generous Alice. At this time, Alice, standing in front of her bed "open mouth" and said that Dana, you are a monster, a self-pity bullshit, and said that I won't let you treat me like shit too. At this time, Dana did not fully realize that the Alice in front of her had rapidly grown into a person who was truly suitable for her. Alice didn't make her feel sorry for herself in bed anymore, took her out to a concert, put drugs in a milkshake and forced her to drink it, bought a funny wig for her to try on, and made weird hairstyles with Shane to match her shave send. The crowd cheers under the spotlight, although cruel, finally made Dana really cheer up. When I went to see Dr. Susanlove, the conversation with Alice standing in the window of the street was the beginning of Dana's real maturity. When Alice asks if she misses Lara, her answer is yes, but her expression shows that Lara has tended to fade. Then she said, it's not like you. When she was only one step away from recognizing herself, Alice carefully positioned herself back to her best friend. She could understand everything about Dana, except that she could no longer be sure of her own feelings classification. Dana also followed her words bravely, raising her voice, but said that's good a little hesitantly.
It was not until she saw that Helena was actively arranging a date for Alice that she realized sadly that she loved Alice, but she was no longer the one who could give her a future. She had to let her go and let her date someone else. Before Alice, who was chased by her for a date, went out, she subconsciously called out Al, and then realized that she couldn't be self-willed. Looking at the door, Dana was really about to die at that time, but she still reluctantly gave Alice her freedom, she thought this would be what she wanted. As for Alice, as long as Dana said a word, she would stay without hesitation, but she could not know Dana's true thoughts for sure, so she had to leave.

On the way to the first aid, Dana finally showed her true feelings without any scruples. She didn't need her family. She didn't think of Lara at all. What she needed was Alice, her favorite person. But it was too late.
I think when I heard the conversation where the nurse suggested Alice to go out for a walk, Dana knew that she was coming to an end. She didn't stop Alice, but left her a "deal" to easily respond to jokes, and a sentence Really, "I love you" out of all kinds of complicated moods. In fact, when they were in love, there was only one real confession to each other, on a crowded dance floor. Alice's first sentence "I love you" was interrupted by Howie's younger brother, and the second sentence Dana kept talking about him. When she finally waited for Dana's confession, Lara's shadow began to hang over them again. At that time, Alice didn't look like herself, and she pressed hard, and finally let Dana escape. The two people who have matured now, the last confession, both of them are sincere, but still only leave regrets.

Life is so full of regrets that people have to face their own failures. But such a deep feeling, until the loss is really realized, really makes people feel hopeless.
It's a pity that the creators blindly want people to realize the pain, and after forgetting the pain, use hope to give people strength.

    I watched it 2 times and still couldn't get into the play. The first time I watched it, I thought Shane was very attractive. The second time I watched it, it was just the actors that were attractive.

    I watched the first season when I was in my sophomore year of high school. I watched it out of curiosity at first. As for the plot, I almost forgot about it.
