In recent years, the culture of mourning has gradually emerged, probably allowing young people who grew up soaked in the blood of exam-oriented education to take a breath from mourning and realize the limitations of being a human being. Seeing that Ma Nan is also looking at this keyword, judging from the results, he was not disappointed.
Mourning, not only means pessimism, but also respects objective facts and shields unrealistic possibilities, such as situations that will never get better. The most impressive funeral drama I have watched in recent years is "Manchester by the Sea". Although I don't like "The Sea" drama, this stubbornness of refusing to compromise with the tragic past is also the masochistic tendency I have always insisted on. The irony is that mourning often means sitting down and waiting to die, and the proud mourning expressed in the drama "Hai" seems to have another momentum, and mourning is also earth-shattering.
Speaking of Bojack, put aside all kinds of cold humor and watch the main plot alone, in fact, the first season is about how people compromise with their imperfect self. Before publishing the book, Bojack kept covering up all day long, and was the promoter of the plot. After the book was published, he became a bystander, numbly watching Golden Retriever and Todd play tricks. The important turning point is the description of the neuropathy in the book where the trio of waste firewood smoked drugs and wrote a book. When I first read it, it was amazing. Looking back, it was actually the self-destructive tendency that I actually experienced. From the point of view of the plot logic, on the one hand, it realizes its own limitations, and more importantly, after the real self-destruction, it seems that the gate of hell has been closed, and it puts down the air in front of the public.
So, in the final analysis, the pessimism that accompanies all the time is not terrible. The most terrifying thing is the injury of the original family that is often to blame, resulting in the pursuit of perfectionism like obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the self-destruction mode that breaks the pot if there is a slight flaw. .
If it can only be broken, it will be another "Manchester by the Sea". Fortunately, at the end of the first season, it gave a seemingly non-existent way out. What to open your heart, be kind to others, who you are, who is around you, what you want in your heart There are expectations.
Although I am used to seeing the style of Japanese comics, I am a little uncomfortable seeing this absurd style, but simplicity does not mean rough, and the intentions in many places also fully set off the mourning of the main line. What impresses me the most is the stool in Bojack's living room. It hasn't been changed since the fire at the party. It stands to reason that after several major changes, many parts of Bojack's house have been restored for the sake of the plot development. The brand-new stool is also more convenient, and Bojack's financial resources will not be unaffordable, so this obvious design probably implies that the growing, devastated heart will not be easily restored.
Another core setting is in line with the advantages of the two-dimensional element, that is, face-masking and surface-leveling. Needless to say, all kinds of animals are flying all over the screen, so I won't talk about it. About mourning and not mourning, I use the yellow hair drama. The twins were briefly summarized. Divide all the characters into two categories with one knife. Although the complex nature of the characters is initially sacrificed, it can quickly cut into the core contradiction and dilute the unreasonableness of some dark lines with various absurd plots. It is a dangerous game, but the force is appropriate.
