He also has a lot of moving parts. He will try to consider problems from the perspective of others, hoping to be considerate, hoping to give others a positive influence and become a role model for others, although the results are often counterproductive. He is outspoken, kind, compassionate and always helping others. He was outspoken and acted recklessly. He was arranged to participate in a quiz-type entertainment program. In order to increase the ratings, the TV station asked him to deliberately lose to his opponent. At first, he refused to cooperate at all, but because of his girlfriend's persuasion, he temporarily agreed to pretend to be stupid and wrong, but in the end he looked at the opponent he didn't like, and finally couldn't bear it and acted according to his own temperament. His behavior seemed a little childish, disregarding the overall situation. But what impresses me the most is his honesty.
He has been living in a loveless family since he was a child, ignored by his father, scolded and denied by his mother, extremely unconfident, eager for external affirmation, and constantly critical of himself in his heart, doubting everything, he needs to be loved to determine his own value, but as soon as others start to have a good impression of him, he personally tears everything good.
This kind of behavior is like when he was very happy when he was a child, his mother poured cold water on him. On the one hand, he was constantly mourning for his isolated and helpless self as a child, and on the other hand, he unconsciously repeated his mother's behavior, treating others and himself in the same cruel way. He thought that the destroyer was the real self, and hoped that others could unconditionally accept the self as the "destroyer", and he wanted to obtain proof of love through challenges. However, it has always been difficult for him to gain complete acceptance from others, just as he has never been able to forgive his mother and let go of everything her mother has done.
All in all, he is pessimistic and negative, full of negative energy.
Bojack wants to start over, be a positive person, listen to success lectures, get up early for a run, be full of chicken blood all the time, try to say "yes!" to everything and even reconcile with his mother.
He finally got the chance to star in the movie "Secretariat" and played the leading role in it, but he was unable to enter the role for several days during the filming process. He was too excited to express the frustration and loneliness of a generation of proud horses. At this time, he regained popularity, the company supported him, and starred in his dream role. He wanted to share his joy with his mother at this proud moment, but his mother's cold words made him wear it to numb him. The masks of the others broke in an instant, and the insecure, helpless little Bojack ran out again. Ironically, it was his trough that made his filming go so smoothly, and he interprets the starring role very well.
However, he did not reinvent himself to the pinnacle of life.
During the filming of the film, Bojack discovered that the director did not present Secretariat's real life in order to cater to market interests. He went on strike to protest, and he finally had to go back to the camera and recite the lines out of nothing. What is even more astounding is that after the filming, all his appearances were post-production and digital synthesis, that is, the whole film just borrowed his face. Such a composite film has been well received.
Public opinion generally ridiculed the warm life drama he acted more than ten years ago, but praised this film in which he basically did not participate. Once again, he was sad to find that the real self was not accepted, and the public liked the illusory him.
This drama is full of unpredictable, exaggerated, and funny, but it portrays human nature sharply and sharply, and the helplessness of bringing ideals into reality is vividly displayed. It seems embarrassing, and I can't help but think of Eileen Chang's saying "Life is a gorgeous dress, covered with lice."
In one episode, Bojack kept asking Dianne, "Do you think it's too late for me? ...But underneath all that, deep down, I'm a good person. I need you to tell me that I'm good...Do you think I'm a good person deep down?"
He collapsed in despair, because he had been disliked and denied since he was a child, and he only wanted to hear a word of affirmation. But this drama does not cure, it only exposes the hidden scars in laughter and cursing. Dianne doesn't say soft words for comfort, but she is the person who understands Bojack best, she never only speaks her true thoughts, even if the other party will be disappointed. She said "I don't believe in deep down. I kind of think that all you are is the things that you do."
"That's depressing." Bojack replied, but at this point he knew Dinanne was his true friend and she Get to know him, accept him, and see his goodness, even if he's not a "good person".
When Bojack is in a dilemma, he often chooses the easier and more protective path, even if it may hurt others, and the injury will not expose him; when receiving thanks from others, he does not say what he did not intend to give. This help, his original behavior actually only considered himself. From him we can see ourselves, we are not as perfect as we think we are, we are not always able to hold the bottom line, and sometimes we are hypocritical, but even so, we still have good hopes and are receiving After a series of blows and flinching, I still try to do it.
Every time the heavy plucking sound at the beginning of the ending song is played, I can't help but let out the same heavy sigh as Bojack.
Life is always this hard.
Why do we have to prove our positivity to the world, tell people I'm great, and tell me that I'm great? It seems that I can not be good enough, but I have to work hard. Occasionally, I also want to bow my head and back, let the dullness creep over my face, let out a long sigh, and just want to stay with my pessimism, negativity and exhaustion for a while. Only occasionally, because we live in this social group, the normal functioning of this society needs to instill similar values in us, it needs a certain kind of person, we are told that we should be that kind of person, and we think that being that kind of person is Take it for granted, and think this is your original intention, your own subjective choice. I'm just a very ordinary member of this society.
This show has no fairy tales, no happy ending, no angels, no incarnation of justice. Every character has such unbearable, frustrating, and crushing experiences. They may be weak, lazy, snobbish, and materialistic, but they are not at all. Pity, no sympathy at all, they all live stubbornly in their own way.
When Princess Carolyn suffered a setback in her career and faced Bojack's olive branch, she thought she finally had a shoulder to rely on, and then she was told that it was all an illusion, that they were just two lonely souls in this chaotic world. Dress up neatly with your head held high and put your head up and work harder into your life. She hopes to get the warmth of love, while telling herself rationally that only career success is reliable, and everything else will be fleeting.
Todd spends his days doing nothing, living a parasite life aimlessly, ecstatic to gain a little trust. He accepts the ridicule, command, and abuse of others as a matter of course, but does not take it for granted. Is he really simple-minded or has he deliberately filtered out all kinds of unbearable things and chose not to see it all?
Mr Peanutbutter is just the opposite of Bojack. He is bright, cheerful, humorous, and has an outgoing personality. He can always see the good side of things, but this also means that he will not face conflicts head-on, let alone be truthful. He has no firm determination. The standard of good and evil, calmly nods and bows to the powerful, and does not think about the meaning of life, because his life is complete, and his sense of self-worth is very strong. As long as he spends every day happily, he is very satisfied. But I still prefer the character of Bojack. In comparison, Mr Peanutbutter is a little less angular and a little less authentic.
Dianne is Mr Peanutbutter's wife, Bojack's Gunslinger writer, whose worried and pessimistic personality is closer to Bojack, but lives happier with Mr Peanutbutter. She is smart, calm, low-key, sensitive, with cautious eyes, frowning eyebrows, and full of ambition, hoping to do something good for humanity. Life is really amazing, and two people who seem to be diametrically opposed are not necessarily incompatible.
When Dianne returns from the war-torn Cordovia and doesn't know how to speak to her husband about her disappointments and failures, she initially lives with Bojack (Bojack again! Bojack is always by her side when she needs support) . She told Bojack that she hoped she would go home without explaining anything, go to sleep, and the next day her husband would see her and just ask "Hey, how's your day?" and say "I love you."
Then they could Chatting and laughing naturally, and she didn't have to say "I'm sorry I left. I'm sorry I made things so difficult. I'm sorry I'm not the person that I thought I was."
And she never had the courage and The husband said she had returned to the United States.
One day, she looked at her husband across several tables in the restaurant, Mr Peanutbutter called Dianne, Dianne picked up the phone embarrassedly, Mr Peanutbutter asked her "Hey, Dianne, how's Cordovia?"
"It's … hard. "
"Do… you know…where the batteries are?"
…
"Listen, I know this sounds crazy, but I think maybe you should get back here. So you can help me to find the batteries." He said, pointing to the empty seat beside him, "I know you are doing important works, and it's a long way to travel. But I need you here and I think you should come home." And finally he said "I love you, Dianne."
This is one of the rare warmest episodes of the show, Mr Peanutbutter He can always say what Dianne expects at the right time, and use his warmth to soothe the cold that Dianne has experienced growing up. They seem to be very different, with basically different interests, habits, and personalities, but they are willing to understand each other and make concessions for each other.
When a person is down, what he needs is often not to pour out. Sadness, guilt, and self-blame have been played out countless times in his heart. What he wants is your understanding of his mood at the moment, and let him know that all this will not affect your feelings. His love and company are the best consolation.
