Surprise in trivialities, metaphors in realism

This is the most literary play I have seen in recent years. Ibsen of our time, Chekhov of our time, and the plays of the masters are not much inferior.

The reason why I say the most literary is that even if this drama is not filmed, it only exists as a drama script, and it is also a very good work.

Of course, the third episode was terrible. This woman who had incestuous with her father-in-law told her own experiences and psychological feelings with a serious face. Her desires, struggles, and pains were all very real. When we see this kind of thing in the social news, we swear it is weird, or like old Pete, scolding a dog woman and then go, and now facing her story, whether it is a moral face to scold a few more words, or feel pity, sympathy, or even Do you think I'm no better than her?

Actors' acting skills are of course impeccable, but only with a good script can the actors have room to display their talents.

There's a lot more to discuss, but I'm going to cook, so let's stop.

Horace and Pete quotes

  • Tom: Just accept the fact that love is rare and it probably won't happen to you, ever.

  • Tom: You can't. That's why they call it falling in love. You can't fall on purpose.
