After finishing the brush, it is reasonable and unexpectedly refreshing. I haven't seen such an American drama for a long time since "Breaking Bad".
The narrative method of the whole play is special. Three generations, the same house, interspersed with each other to tell their own different stories. Especially like "Hazard Dictionary" or "My Name is Red", a multi-line and multi-role interweaving structure.
It will be a little confusing at first, but the more you go, the more natural it becomes.
Beth, the first-generation heroine of the fight for equality
In the 1960s and 1970s, women's desire for equality was sprouting, and Beth was one of them.
In a traditional family, women teach their husbands and children, hide their career ambitions, and focus on their husbands and children. In fact, behind the apparent happiness of many families, there is cruelty and repression: women are yelled at by men at home, facing contempt and betrayal by their husbands, and even punching and kicking. You must also maintain grace and maintain the authority of your husband outside.
Not stupid, but impossible. The reason why you can't do anything about pretending to be deaf and dumb to the fooling husband: the economic status is low, how can I live without my husband? Just like the old man who left prison in "The Shawshank Redemption" chose suicide.
The society's prejudice against women even limited their vision. When they first moved into the mansion, the only neighbor who could be considered a good person used a vicious tongue against his wife to point out the social reality: women probably spend their time boring comparing furniture.
Beth, from the country to the city, is the kind of little woman who has been instilled in tradition, and her husband knows how to refill the cup by tapping on the cup. In particular, she was charged with the crime of killing her daughter, and she was even more sincere and fearful to her husband.
When she gradually discovers the truth and understands the facts, from the beginning, she has to try to get her husband back, to understand her husband's lover, or more understanding of women, including the female neighbor who is troubled by violence.
She decides to leave, lets her husband out, and drags her luggage to the office to say goodbye to Rob.
The shamelessness and disgust of the husband's deeper side are revealed by his secretary and ex-lover. Her low self-esteem and self-pity turned into hatred. She changed her mind, she was firm: she knew what she wanted and what she should do.
Although it is reasonable to kill her husband, the ingenious set-up is unexpected. As said at the end of the first episode: the only question, can she get away with it?
Congrats to Beth, he has successfully awakened, he has learned to treat men and women as equals, and he has learned to be strong, and he has started a more free relationship from rivals to sisters, from sisters to lala. Kill for equality, she did.
To a certain extent, the friendship between lala can understand and support each other better than gays, because they often have a common enemy: men and social prejudice.
Perhaps the women who are oppressed can understand each other better.
Simone, the heroine of freedom
Taking over Beth's house, Simon threw a big party 10 years later, but the plastic sister Wanda, who was abandoned by her husband, ruined her perfect life with an anonymous envelope, at least on the surface.
Why does Wanda do this?
Yes, your friends, then and now, don't like words like that. Those professionals who edit a happy life and plan a perfect character in the circle of friends all day long should take this as a warning.
Wanda ruined her false happiness, and Simone was so angry that she beat her up. In fact, she should really thank this gas-blocking friend.
This perfect life of paper does not collapse suddenly, where does the courage come from to change course and pursue freedom?
When she bemoaned her life with self-pity, a wonderful relationship began
Her best friend's 28-year-old handsome moth has become her bed engine
At that time, homosexuality was gradually taking the stage, women were considered seducers, and prejudice was everywhere. AIDS is a social taboo to talk about. Equality between men and women is no longer an issue, but social conventions and prejudices still oppress everyone.
Therefore, after gender equality, people also need equality in the face of disease (discrimination against patients is still difficult), and the freedom to let go of hypocrisy and pursue self.
For example, screwing up the in-law meeting of the children, not only Karl, but also the daughter of the in-law was caught out as gay
The father of a straight man of steel, Ben despised Karl casually, but led to the fact that his daughter who accidentally lay a gun is also a same-sex person. Although the prejudice is still there, it is obvious that more people are not willing to suppress and aggrieve themselves. They secretly find themselves and try to be free.
Many people get the point wrong and regard Liu Yuling as an inspirational goal for women: earn money through marriage, and sleep with little fresh meat through money and charm.
But the most touching thing about Simone is her tenderness.
After three failed marriages, she has penetrated the scorching world, she has changed from a middle-aged woman who is ready to give up on herself, greedy for male sex, indulge her desires and pursue freedom, to an admirable life force: after confirming the true relationship between Karl and the barber, she begins to Respect Karl. After learning that Karl was suffering from AIDS, she did not dislike him, abandon him and despise him. She spent all the money, sold the most beloved paintings, closed the gallery, and treated Karl.
She turns down Tommy's European tour to accompany a shaky Karl. True love in adversity, although not necessarily love, but the sick Karl from fear to Simone appreciation to the ultimate attachment, a man who has been discriminated against taught us how to remain graceful.
And Liu Yuling witnessed the friendship between comrades, sent off their partners, hard steel discriminated against their restaurant owner, showed her greatness and gentleness as a person, and contrasted the hypocrisy of the world.
The reason why you are human is how you treat others, not your famous food and circle.
This story has begun to get better at this point. After all kinds of dog blood, it has become the most moving tear in the whole play.
Yes, tears.
A tango, Karl accepted death with self-esteem and calmness, he felt no regrets in this life, and personally sent Karl's Simone for love and understanding and Kill.
So she said to Tommy: In the future you will also say I love you to other women, but I am proud to be the first.
Sincere emotion and visceral understanding, nothing is more important than the shortness of life. The freedom of the body is short-lived pleasure, and the freedom of the spirit is a lasting fraternity.
Simone used one person's tenderness to save the blood of the whole play.
Contemporary people who pursue experience, a dangerous experiment in existentialism
Talyer Jade and Eli, a typical Sartre-Beauvoir-esque example of an open marriage, is full of postmodern dramas about bisexual drug use.
The triangle in geometry is stable, but the triangular relationship between people is fragile.
They are avant-garde experimental contemporaries.
Equality and freedom are inherently indisputable. Everyone treats each other sensitively, and any feelings will be very important: I don't want to change you, I can save you from misfortune, but I don't want you to compromise and sacrifice even a part of yourself.
Yes, all in all, although I think that Sartre's flickering open marriage is an excuse to cheat and avoid responsibility, but for the contemporary pioneer young people, this is not a problem, feelings are the most important, only feelings can determine my identity. for me.
Facing the most beautiful green tea in history, Eli fantasized about 3P, and finally got what he wanted, but where is the boundary after desire?
On the one hand, he desperately wanted to resist tayler's control, and on the other hand fell into Jade's trap.
The fragile three-person relationship gradually falls into a dangerous situation
And gradually deduced into the final criminal case, Taylor finally killed in self-defense.
The couple who have survived the disaster found that the relatively exciting open marriage, the conservative two-person world seems to be more secure, so uneasy and secular existentialist open marriage practitioners, saying "unswerving until death" Plant the old stalk in the love of the last century
Jade, who is gradually revealing her true face, is likely to be the protagonist of the next season. As a woman who puts her survival first, she sleeps almost all the people she meets (note that it is people, not men or women), you It's hard not to wonder what happened to her?
In the end, tayler & Eli were reluctant and had to return to the right, which was a kind of self-regulation of the social liberation movement.
If you pay too much attention to feelings, people will have an unbearable weight in their lives, because they are so strange that people will forget what is more important: stable finances, a healthy life, and a daily life away from threats are the front ones. 1, otherwise no amount of stimulation will be empty and exhausted.
Rather than saying that tayler's kill is to protect his love, it is better to say that he is guarding a border that has been almost forgotten by modern people.
Existentialism is still evolving, and people are testing its boundaries. What will the future look like?
In the end, what is fatal is never the woman, but the dangerous relationship.
