Although the whole play has only 6 short episodes, the author has expressed many levels, which completely shows the points worth thinking and discussing in modern society.
1. Colonialism/Racism - The local Hawaiian brother's land was taken away, and he would come to perform for the people who robbed their land. But not all of America was colonized. This topic is more native to the United States.
2. Gender - "White men are the underdog right now"
3. Class - no matter how hard the hotel manager works, someone will lose his job after a phone call; the SPA manager used to be kind and thought he had a chance to change his fate, or if the old capitalist woman catches other straws and throws her away; the newly married husky girl There is no rich husband in the family, so I have to endure the ridicule of my husband and mother-in-law, and doubt my worth.
4. Marriage - old husband and wife with "strong women and weak men"; newlyweds between Ma Bao and a beautiful woman
5. Friendship - plastic sister flowers
6, gay - hotel manager, deceased grandfather
7. Family and self-construction - After the rich old woman's parents have passed away, she has been living in the shadows, she can't get out by herself, and no one can save her.
8. On the spiritual level, consumerism and the call of nature - the whole drama has reached a new height. This is not only in the United States, but also in China. Coerced by consumerism, sometimes you will think about what you want. Will reflect, but to live, still need to dance in shackles.
There is no intention to please the audience at all, there is an expression of opinions, there is no excusable fire, and a certain threshold is required. It is not a cool drama type. Really great!
