2.Relationship
A.Family
Serena has a nice mother who is not obvious to her elders and can be affectionate. At the same time, she loves her brother very much. Therefore, even though she is a single-parent family, Serena is not lacking in family affection. Later, she combined with the Bass family, and she tried her best to show casualness and freedom. Although Chuck is annoying, her feelings are also permeating.
Perhaps Serena’s family environment in the upper class of Manhattan is more alternative and fortunate, because such a family is not full of heavy and rigid pressures like other families, it is relatively open and humane.
Perhaps because of Lily's youthful experience in the past, her parents always like to make up for their regrets in the next generation, so her discipline to Serena is relatively laissez-faire, and she will never force her to do anything when she is desperate. Lily values communication and has an open attitude. It can be seen that her relationship with Serena is actually more like a sister. In many relationships, they would not interfere with each other when they interacted with each other, but when the contradictions in the plot developed to the point where they had to explode, Lily finally gave up the so-called elopement with Rufus and chose to marry Chuck’s father, just because She considers Serena. This is the sacrifice she must make, or we can use it as a way out.
Serena loves her brother Eric very much. This is a common manifestation of the eldest daughter in a single-parent family. Because children from single-parent families tend to hate hurt and deficiency more than children from normal families, Serena will not hesitate to blame Eric.
Why do girls born in high-class families behave licentiously? Alcoholism, promiscuity, and drug use also doesn't matter. I think this has something to do with the alternative environment of the Serena family and that alternative mother. We know that Lily has been with Rufus, the legendary rock star Rufus, which is full of regrets and beautiful feelings, but what kind of girl is matched with Rock Stars? There is no doubt that she must not be rigid. We learned that Lily was a photographer when she was young, so she must love art and full of dreams. After the end of such a fruitless love, Lily took the inheritance of her mother’s inheritance to endure a calm marriage of the upper class. Her reluctance to cut love, her resoluteness, and her depression are conceivable, and all these unforgettable things must be She fell to her next generation to complete the liberation, coupled with the inheritance of the wild personality-Serena, an eye-catching bitch in the upper class, but dared to be bold and upright, and dedicated to love.
In contrast, Blair's princess-like pampering and cautious arrogant nature obviously comes from the luxurious dependence of her family environment and the urgency of the family atmosphere.
First of all, facing the problem of family members coming out, the Serena family showed understanding and slow acceptance. When it happened to Blair, what we saw was her sense of being robbed and revenge. She overly felt the lack of her father’s love, so she used a consistent and subtle method to avenge her father’s lover Ramon. We mentioned in Blair and Serena When her mother also learned, "After a period of slimming and lifting, she was relieved from the trauma of being abandoned by her husband and running away in front of her husband and a male model." The girl who came out of such a family environment must be emotionally fragile and present-worldly revengeful.
Blair is a typical example of an upper-class daughter full of romantic fantasies but an empty life. She can't leave the gorgeous Party, which is also related to her mother being a celebrity designer in the fashion industry. She can’t lose her popularity. She is accustomed to working hard to form cliques. This is also forced by the environment in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The Queen’s psychology is at stake. She aspires to be the focus of the stars, but she must be the focus of the pampering "lady concept". She stays reserved and waits for others to follow her, so she is destined not to be as slutty as her good sister Serena. This is also the difference between her and Serena. The single-parent family of Serena has an easy-going and independent personality. She does not like to fight and does not need a seemingly strong support group. Therefore, when the two fight, Blair adopts a gang to isolate the opponent. The method seems to be ineffective against the enemy.
In the face of their respective dilemmas, the attitudes of the two queens also exposed the different reasons caused by the family. Serena has a tendency to escape, escape, and a different family has led to her complicated mentality in the face of difficult situations. She can't be as calm as Blair and actively plan what to do next. Serena's choice is nothing more than disappearance, alcoholism, and decadence. This is the conflict between her wild personality (with Lily's genetic factors) and the rigorous and sophisticated society of the upper class. In this regard, Blair's response is obviously more effective than Serena, because she is used to cruelly confronting the enemy in this imaginary and erosive contradictory circle. She can often control her emotions and develop a sophisticated counter-attack game. Obviously, Miss Blair's strict and cautious family environment makes her more comfortable with the unspoken rules and everything of Manhattan aristocratic life than a relatively free-born child like Serena.
Nate Archibald, the tragic character often has a close relationship with the family. It can be seen that the superficial and indifferent relationship between Nate's parents, coupled with the fuse of his father's corruption and degeneration, made Nate's sexual rebellion finally break out. At first you may not understand why this noble almost real Upper East Side woman dreams of Nate always shows off his melancholy eyes. You may think of it as a show for him to be cool or groan without illness, but as a plot. When you progress to the back, you will also know that the so-called melancholy of the melancholy prince is really well-founded and can not be released under pressure.
If the signs that the upper class strongly imprinted on girls are vanity and intrigue, then it must bring strength and pressure to boys. He is the bridge of family union, and his father used his marriage as a bargaining chip, which deeply aroused Nate's disgust.
Nate is a person with a sense of responsibility and idealism. He rebelled against his father only because he wanted his father to stop taking drugs and live back to the original good. The indifference of the parental relationship stimulated his perfectionism, and his father's repeated depravity made him angry and again. Melancholy. But reason makes him have to control his emotions, so he desperately needs an emotional sustenance and exit. It happened that at that time he learned that his girlfriend and a good friend had been involved, and all these disasters fell on a rational body at the same time, so he Choose a stable sustenance-Vanessa. Make her believe that he loves her very much and get temporary comfort and stability from her. This is really like a Virgo character. Born in a good family that lacks spiritual communication and is under pressure, Nate is destined to become a melancholy but self-protective, sensible and selfish declining aristocrat.
Now let’s talk about our Chuck Bass, who is also the so-called prince in the noble circle. Nate gives us the feeling of suffering, but Chuck gives us the feeling of enjoy. Nate frowned and we saw depression and joy. When Chuck frowned, what we saw was evil and naughty. He is immersed in alcohol, marijuana and sex, he is a prince and a gangster, and his gentleman is often embarrassed in the streets. So who is Chuck Bass? In the
play about Chuck's family, we only know that he is a young man who can't need to worry about his family and just spends his time at ease. Another point is that his father is a super businessman who is unsmiling and serious in pursuing Serena's mother. We may wonder why a serious and shrewd father has a cynical and profligate son? Why does a cautious and rational father who treats emotions have a son who is single and indulgent?
I think that most super businessmen often lack emotional communication with their children because they are too busy with business. Even the occasional conversations mostly focus on money and work. Chuck's character developed into decadence due to childhood loneliness and then further evolved into indulgence. And his father may have to use money to make up for the lack of companionship, so Chuck grew accustomed to a profligate material life.
Leaving the upper class, let's take a look at the growing environment of poor boy Dan Humphrey and Cinderella Jenny Humphrey. His father is a rock singer and his mother is a painter, so Dan writes novels like a literary youth. Jenny designs skirts and uses sewing machines to make them to participate in the party. Aside from parental relationships, this is really a harmonious and humorous family. Civilian and artistic, we saw Rufus personally make breakfast for his children and teach his son how to pick up girls and date, and the lovely Dan is always optimistic and seems to have no troubles.
But the commoner child went to an aristocratic school in another world. Dan has changed since he fell in love with Queen S. We can see that worrying lonely boy at the beginning of the second season, his optimistic attitude in the past. It seems that the disease has become a broken jar that doesn't matter. And what about little J? The aristocratic girl circle provides a battlefield where her vanity goes violently. She can cheat and steal in order to make her way out of the public. She can steal her family and even choose to "fall in love" with a gay prince. Everything is only Because she cried to Rufus, "I can accept wearing second-hand skirts to participate in the party, but I can't bear to hide in the locker room with a lunch box and swallow lunch and then go to the luxury restaurant with my sisters to pretend that I am not hungry." The conflict between the two worlds, the contradiction between her own situation and the surrounding environment, Little J dealt with in it, sharpened her head and scratched her scalp, she was finally exhausted. Do you really have to be a queen? She remembered that Blair, who was in two completely different worlds from her, once asked her, "Which one is more worth it?" And does this game just want to stop and then retreat? Are you someone who can afford to play?
B. Friendship.
GG's attraction is also the concept of Friend in the American TV series. It is different from Japanese and Korean dramas or most Taiwan idol dramas when they talk about friendship. The friendship in GG is objective and concise enough.
We say it is naked enough. There must be a jealous war between friends. S vs. B, C vs. N. The truth of friendship is the release of the past. We have seen C, B, and N after the first season join forces to help S against G. This is a tacit understanding. It goes without saying that there is no need for those disgusting dialogues like love words.
Regarding S and B. I remember a sentence that is simple enough and clear enough,
Hey, hey.
We are sisters.
You're my family.
What is you, is me.
There's nothing that you could ever say to make me let go.
That `s enough. This is enough to make people feel warm.
Another point of GG's friendship may only be seen in American TV series, because of the differences between Chinese and Western cultures. We see the relationship between SNBC's four friends. One of them slept with his best friend, one slept with his best friend's woman, and the other two slept with his lover's best friend. The screenwriters of American dramas are different from the screenwriters of Chinese TV dramas. They are a certain person. They are a group. Therefore, the characters are often diverse and the plots are often chaotic and exciting. With the addition of D and V to these four characters, Love will find that the original screenwriter is playing a permutation and combination game. Even if you think it is ridiculous, at least we understand that in the United States, in the upper class of Manhattan, friends can be used to sleep over. Don't worry about embarrassment or sparks, Hey guys we`re friends!
Another clue about Friendship in the play is the so-called ambiguous friends of the vulgar childhood sweethearts like D and V. But fortunately, American TV dramas don't put this kind of bad relationship as the focus. This kind of treatment is really comfortable and refreshing, because the sadness of secret love and ambiguous grievances have not always been the subject of fast-paced American feelings. But this kind of friendship is enough to make people feel at ease.
C. About Love
GG is one pair after another, and there are many kinds of feelings.
S and D are talking about the romantic relationship between the queen and the poor boy. The Christmas gift scene really makes people feel romantic. Both of them belong to people who have changed greatly after meeting each other. S even in order to be able to "forever be with D." "Together" and sacrificed the relationship between mother and R. Some people are a little bit hot-headed. People in two different worlds cannot escape the hidden conflict. How do you predict what will happen in the future? We saw that D was tired of S at the beginning of the second season, but how did he treat her as a goddess at the beginning? At this time, the other side of D's character began to be exposed. He was extreme, decadent, and unconscious, like an Aries teenager who was exhausted.
B's treatment of feelings reflects the characteristics of a Scorpio girl. Dreams and revenge are always the themes of her love.
N seems to be able to avoid sinking in due to his overly sensible character. At the same time, his vacillating style has become a major weapon for his selfishness and self-protection in love.
As for C, maybe because he never took Love seriously, he became at a loss when he found out that he really liked B. And the desire to manipulate (so I say he really looks like a Sagittarius) makes him shift the focus of love to possession rather than giving, perhaps because he is accustomed to the way of thinking of "as long as you want it, you have to get it".
Little J's mind is not in love.
From this point of view, only the love between S and D can be related to the so-called romance. Oh no, we forgot who they were born. The only love in the play that makes me feel beautiful is Lily&Rufus. Their past screenwriters are always looming, so we can only guess. Guessing makes their relationship mysterious and romantic. . Imagine the rock singer and female photographer of the year, imagine the song he wrote for her, and imagine the painful separation due to the present world, and the most beautiful thing is that this is a missing romantic relationship with regret, so This Love can continue to be beautiful. The truth that what is not available is always the best is believed to be well known.
So the director put most of the most beautiful soundtrack in the whole drama on the emotional scene of Lily&Rufus, which is really comfortable.
Finally, I offer two of my favorite lines in GG.
I am a bitch when I want to be -Chuck Bass.
U know u love me~~ XOXO~~gossip girl.
