20200607 The court case of the old case went well. I will reward myself for reading this. I think it's okay to use [US version of Late Night Cafeteria] to evaluate it. Like "Late Night Cafeteria", it describes the life of the common people in detail and puts it into philosophical discussions. Try to rise to the level of universal compassion and consolation for people.
After watching it, I understood a truth: if a drama wants to rely on a profound position, it is difficult to get rid of the themes of [life and death, political relationship, relationship between men and women, parent-child relationship]. And why did the author put political relations first? Because other relationships are too affected by it. Political relationship determines whether people need to self-censor the words "political relationship" in film reviews in order to pass the review quickly, and determines whether the raging domestic violence in ep10 [year] can be suppressed by criminalization. ep10【Today】Whether the murder can be avoided or not determines whether you, me, and him can give full play to their intelligence and live their only life without fear of the gaze of others.
Diversity overview:
1. ep1-ep10 The background of the conflict between family members in this American drama is very different from the background of the comedy set in the familiar American imperial family dramas such as "Modern Family". This strength? ! Meow meow meow? ? ? After the initial shock, I have an experience: the degree of similarity in the level of male domination in different societies is an important reason for the similar intensity of conflict between the family members of this play and the author's big family .
2. ep3 is similar to Ma Nan s5ep6's super god one-man show, in which people (woman-wife Sarah, man-male protagonist Horrace) have all fallen into [(difficult) lust, (gaze of the big other, etc.) marriage responsibilities, (Difficult to eat) to make a living] [the predicament of life]. *Association: David Benata , Dawkins, Steven Pinker, et al. Strategies for the Common Life Dilemma.
3. The death of the new lover of the supporting actress (male main gun friend) in ep4 brought a strong fear of death to her. *Because the author has experienced similar accidents, I feel very empathy, and my fear of death has been awakened after a long time. This is a good thing - it can help people generate that guiding "hope" that can be approached by "Act" + "Wait".
4. ep5 shows the extreme behavior caused by the fear of death brought by cancer to the male lead and sister, which is very understandable - everyone is dying, and everything is normal. Talking politics: Bernie Sanders and Trump, how to build a better social system.
5. ep6 Pete refuses his biological father's persuasion (his father subtext: I will talk about it later), insisting not to play with the feelings of the two young women is the same as the author's not playing with the feelings of the girls who confessed or showed affection to the author, and it is not difficult to understand. The setting of ep8 is interesting: the alcoholic hates being dumped by a man (a right-wing Trump supporter).
These two episodes lead to the reason behind the author's suggestion that acquaintances should not play with their feelings at will: First, seek profit, that is, don't let them suffer from this kind of emotional injury, and give them time to pursue a more suitable relationship. In line with the principles of altruism and utilitarianism, it can also make you sleep well. Secondly, to avoid harm, you can avoid creating avoidable violence against each other - after all, love murder is an important motive for modern people to commit serious crimes (①One of the core driving forces of living beings is to exert the potential to transmit genes ②Use lies and other means to hinder their ta The hatred value of the living body's ability to transmit gene potential is greater than the hatred value caused by killing parents and breaking people's wealth).
6. ep9 "Love is rare and can only fall, that is what make it precious" This old screenshot that was once madly circulated turned out to be from this. The view that "Love can only fall" has reached a consensus with Uncle Qi, Badiou and others. Let me wait and see.
7. ep10 Unexpectedly does not drag the ending, much like the abrupt ending of the song "Taiku 5", which is well received.
*Title pays homage to "The Countryman's Elegy" (background: Redneck State). Yes, in the stronghold of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, each has its own sad song.
2020-05-24 Continue watching from the 2020 new stand-up of Amway and the male protagonist Louis CK when Uncle Puma was on Joe's show. Life is like a play: Louis CK (in ep3 26min) talked about the truth of "if you want people to know nothing unless you don't do it", it came true in his real life - his sexuality was known to the public because of the metoo incident, and he was embarrassed Long.
