Social class, political metaphor drama

At first I thought it was a suspenseful crime drama, and the opening was a few people taking a boat to the island for vacation, just like the opening of "No One Survives". As the plot unfolded, I felt that this was not a suspense and reasoning drama at all, nor a life comedy, nor a family ethics drama, but it had some elements. She is anti-type, mixed with type, and creates a very different and heterogeneous style out of thin air. Based on this alone, the director and screenwriter are very good.

However, the story must always have a core expression. When I saw the fifth episode, I felt that the character relationship structure and plot line of this story revolved around one thing-about social class and class differences. Under such a lighthearted story, it actually discusses a very serious political topic. This feeling is given slowly. In the third episode of Weird Family dinner, the two girls discussed Hillary, and they fought with their mother. The differences between the white left and the liberals were obvious; the strong woman Nicole had a sense of superiority between her mentor and her fans to the silly white sweet bride Rachel. Guiding Rachel's life condescendingly, and suddenly criticizing her writing and attacking herself; the story always makes people feel that they are writing about the boundaries between the rich and the poor, the more obvious is the newlywed couple, and class inequality arises. The feeling of separation between the two when they get along is not much interaction except on the bed. Rachel was a "trophy vase" in the eyes of her mother-in-law, and she told the vase without caring.

The social class/class differences determined by the economy will gradually intensify after the economy is highly developed. Humans will also distinguish different groups of people according to their classes. These groups of people have different ways of thinking, different languages, and different ways of doing things.

In presenting class differences, this play is very humorous and vivid, strips away the veil of beauty, and restores the reality of the world. The manager has to go to the subordinate Xiao Xianrou with a bit of scheduling. He originally promised Xiao Xianrou that he can choose the working time by himself, but he said that he forgot about it after everything, and you will come to work tomorrow; She came with her friend Paula. Paula was poor. Olivia saw that she had found a little native boyfriend, so she ran to hook up with the boy. It was also like a metaphorical plot. The poor drink bone soup. Even if the rich don't like it that much, they have to grab it and don't allow the poor to have it alone. The newlywed husband is particularly white trash, mommy, selfish, emotionally unstable, and is actually easy to be cowardly. When the screenwriter wrote this character, he probably hated this kind of person very much - he has no long possessions, does not contribute to society, and still looks like a Enjoy everything as it should be, and be immature. I also feel more disgust than favor for the portrayal of female white Zuo Nicole. The author should be a liberal, neither left nor right, and can't stand both types of people. "Bai Zuo" Nicole, her daughter, hypocritical, selfish and selfish, white racial narcissistic cancer patient; Bai You, including newlywed men and their mothers, money is paramount, exploitation is justified, poor people stay out of the way, strong woman Ni But the amusing husband who may be broken in minutes is disgusted by the hypocrisy of the leftists: the rich are already rich, and no matter how much they say, they will not donate to the poor. There is also Tan Niya, the single aunt who came from the set of "Broken Sisters". She has an emotional vampire personality, needsy, and selfishness. She contributed to the funniest stalk of the show. Just an ordinary civil servant) and a good feeling spontaneously arises. The IQ and EQ are worrying, and the emotional state is especially unstable.

The rich people in the story are so ridiculous, the poor people are not much better. The manager, Amond, a drug addict, relapsed on his clients' drugs, messed with his subordinates, and played tricks on his clients. He said that he felt disgusted when he saw these holiday guests eating (carelessly). In the first episode, the cute waitress tried to find a job and concealed her pregnancy, so she gave birth on the first day of work; the Hawaiian boy KY couldn't stand a few words of persuasion and went to steal something. Olivia's family is on vacation. You eat, drink, and have fun. You have to collude with outsiders to steal other people's things. You also think that you are doing the right thing for heaven and standing on the high morality. Squeeze her dissatisfaction. The poor tend to look for a sense of superiority and a sense of redemption from people who are more pitiful than themselves, but it is also because they are powerless about their situation. As Paula is dating a Hawaiian boy, Madonna's heart explodes.

The black female physical therapist is by far the most normal person in the show; the second normal is the newlywed idiot Rachel, who finally knew that she had made a serious mistake, and it was too late to stop her losses in time. But both of them carried the fantasy of giving wealth to the rich to change their lives, that indescribable, very subtle psychology.

In this society, the jealousy, greed, laziness, vanity, gain for nothing, and these rubbish qualities in human nature will not disappear because of the theoretical guidance and speeches that have been read. On the contrary, because of these human natures, as the class differences of human beings become larger and larger, their behaviors will only become more and more absurd and unbearable. Actually, after seeing the end of the fifth episode, I don't care who the victim is anymore. She is indeed not a crime suspense drama. She is a story about people with class differences in this era. This drama is too real and especially emotional. Chinese society is not like this. For example, in the case of a top star, I saw that girls who volunteered to enter the hunting circle of hunters also have insufficient intellectual resources and insufficient social resources, resulting in cognitive distortion and disordered behavior, because resources are flowing upward, never The social reality of downward manufacturing. Some victims even felt that someone who was such a high-level person was insignificant. This kind of situation is very similar to the one in the play where Nicole accuses Rachel, who was all about trying to please herself, for writing an article about an entrepreneur. Nicole turns her face as fast as she turns a book, so she is very ruthless. The old lady is superior and smiles at you when she is happy. , I will diss you anytime if you are not happy. The SM mentality between the rich and the poor exists in this society. Most of us don't know it.
