trust and love

After chasing six seasons of "The L Word", I feel a little lost.
It was a story about a group of girls, a story about trust and love, especially at the end. Jenny died, the cause of death was ominous, but her appearance was a satisfied smile, with a mockery of the world, as if speaking of the so-called trust and love of fk.
Helena and Dylan are separated by a tested trust bond, but a real mistrust, a trust built on lies and secrets that will one day crumble. The same is true for Tina and Bette. One of Jenny's borrowing videos put Bette in a precarious situation because the trust between her and Tina is also very fragile. Once the trust is lost, it is difficult to find it again, and it is difficult to strengthen it. Although Jenny is annoying, she makes people see herself more clearly, and see behind the relationships that are hard to maintain. And Jenny herself is paradoxically buried in lies, Alice's script, Lez Girl's negatives, Shane's jacket and letter, how ironic.
And among these people, Alice is very well versed in it. Don't look at her careless, but she is the most candid. Whether it is the former Dana or the current Tasha, she can say what she thinks. Alice, who is insightful, lets Tasha face it honestly. Even the cheating in her heart can't escape. Alice refuses to cheat and betray a little bit. She refuses that there is a little hidden danger in the relationship between the two. Finally, Tasha returns to her side. It can be seen that Alice is the most The smartest, the most sober.
Bette is a manipulative and egoistic person, which makes her so confident and attractive, but also pushes people away, and if she hadn't been with Jodi, she might never have known what her problem was.
Tina's transformation is a process from compromising to finding herself. Her charm is fully manifested in the moment she yelled at Aron. Tina's appearance and consciousness became extremely strong, but in fact, her heart was soft and towards the same from beginning to end. Individuals, everyone else is a passer-by.
Shane is also a person who refuses to change from the beginning to the end. Even if there were signs of change with Carmen in the middle, the escape from marriage brought her back to the original shape. Shane is still the prodigal son who is free and playing in the world. Letting the prodigal son turn back will only make her eclipsed. It was too difficult for her to change because of her insecurities since she was a child. Losing that layer of protection is unpredictable, naked, helpless and vulnerable. She should not become like that.
I want to come back and talk about Jenny. She is a character that makes my heart hurt. She has just come out of the closet like a bird that has just broken free from its cage. Although she suffered a little injury, she was exchanged for flying under the free sky. Right, but the strong wind and rain had beaten her all over her body, not only her body but also her mind. She was originally pure and kind with a little bit of paranoia. She was tortured into a vengeful, full of lies, but advertised honesty and love. She was not wrong. It's just that she has experienced too much, it's just that the reality is too cruel, in this world full of deceit and lies, no one can protect her, except herself, in the same way.

  • Alice: [talking about admitting that they are attracted to each other] Well, we just took the first step, we took the power out of it.

    Dana: [they slow down their stretching and begin to stare at each other. Dana kinda snaps out of it] I think we need to take the second step.

    [and jogs off]

    Alice: [nodding] Yeah, okay.

    Alice: [little bit later on] We need to counteract it. We just need to avoid all situations where we find each other most attractive.

    Dana: Mm-hmm.

    Alice: We need, like... rules of un-attraction.

    Dana: Okay, like never be alone together, in places like the bathroom at The Planet.

    Alice: Right! Never be alone together.

    Dana: [Alice raises her eyebrows and looks at Dana like duh!] Tonya hates that. Alright, well then you can't wear those shirts any more.

    Alice: What shirts?

    Dana: they cling to you in some places and fall off you in others?

    Dana: [Alice has a huge grin on her face. Dana kind of rolls her eyes] Fuck you.

    Alice: Okay, that's *totally* against the rules.
