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

  • Pete: I said I have a good memory, not that I have good memories.

  • Rhonda: I have been around long enough to know that men can only make two contributions to my life. They can lift things and they can fuck. I don't want to know you. I don't want to date you. I don't want to move in with you. I don't want to meet your mama. Fuck me... move my furniture.

    Horace: Where do you want it?
