When I started watching this show a few years ago, I always felt that the pace was too slow and it was not interesting, so I just abandoned the show. A few years later, something happened in my life, and when I looked back at this show, I realized that it was a terrifying thought.
Noah: Why would a man with a wealthy wife and four children cheat?
Starting from the first season, there are big differences between the male and female protagonists facing detective to restore the scenes of how they encountered each other. Especially when Noah describes Alison when he meets Alison, he always brings Alison to seduce him (about Alison’s seductive personality, I will discuss some details below) . Many people who watched the drama thought it was the scum of the male protagonist. Later I think this does not fit Noah's personality. ( Noah’s personality has always been conservative and honest, including his treatment of family and work) Alison’s seduction in Noah’s eyes is Noah’s own desire. He really wants Alison to seduce him and cause an extramarital relationship because Noah is at home. The pressure, Helen's expectations of him, and his father-in-law's cynicism made him unable to breathe. Noah just wanted to find a way to vent. ( This idea was confirmed in the eighth episode of the first season.) At the same time, I will talk about the heroine Alison. I think the actor has chosen the right place. Alison is not beautiful or amazing, so she is still a woman. The waitress just met at the beach, please give the host a reason for having an affair, and give anyone a reason for having an affair in this situation?
At the end of the second season, Alison recalled the story of Noah and Helen. It is enlightening that the reason Noah married Helen when he was young was because Helen's family was rich and Helen was very artistic. He thought he wanted to be such a person. Noah said that if he was given another choice, he might not get married for this reason. He would wait for a while to see who he would become first.
Why can't Noah stand Helen?
The reason why Noah can’t stand the Helen family is not Helen’s fault, but Noch’s own low self-esteem (but how does Noah’s low self-esteem come from?) In the second season, Helen’s mother’s quarrel with her mother revealed that Helen’s mother was right. Helen's subconscious impression. (I will introduce in detail when describing Helen's personality)
Helen: How did a rich girl end her life like this?
Helen’s question one: Helen’s personal settings are most clearly exposed in the eighth episode of the first season. As above, Helen is different from Noah. Helen was born in a wealthy family. Helen chose Noah because Noah is very safe. She thinks that Noah’s safe will not be like her father. She is pretentious and cheating to be the laughing stock of others. Noah’s Safe can make her Having a happy family has become the envy of others.
Helen's question two: In the second season, when Helen was fighting Noah for custody of the child, her mother joined in in front of their lawyer to quarrel with his father. Helen finally realized a very serious problem, over the years, her mother's manipulation of Helen's consciousness. Helen's mother's strength not only caused her husband's derailment, but also looked down upon Noah's birth, believing that Noah might not make a difference in his life, this kind of consciousness was subtly given to Helen, which led to Helen's negative attitude towards Noah. Helen's father is also a successful writer. Coupled with the strength of Helen's mother, the three of them have caused deep psychological pressure on Noah.
Helen’s question three: Helen’s bad choices: Maybe people will have low moments when they encounter some serious things. But Helen continued to make mistakes in the constant quagmire. First he drove into Scott, then he had an ambiguous relationship with Max, a drug entrepreneur addict Sleep around, and finally, in order to get rid of Noah, he married a doctor Vik who he didn't love very much (fourth) Season)...Helen has never been sober since Noah's derailment, and has been making wrong choices...
Alison: There are so many problems with problem girls! The woman who caused a man to commit a crime
Why does Alison always arouse men's sexual desire?
As another important thread in the text, Alison is hated by countless people who watch the drama. She seems to have a "leg" with any man. Even when Noah was invited to write in a wooden house, the husband of the mistress who provided them to the house would "have an erection" because of hearing Alison's description of the process with Noah.
This problem is not as obvious as other problems. On the one hand, I have not experienced enough. On the other hand, I have not seen similar cases. The following problems can be used as guesses:
When the problematic man meets the problematic woman, two people suck each other and enjoy each other's dark energy:
Noah met Alison who was "painful of losing a child" under "Family Problems." In the second season, when Alison's mother, Athena, treated Noah, Noah's problem was exposed to the nail on the head. There is darkness in Noah's heart. His darkness was partially resolved in the sex with Alison. When Alison saw Noah's novel and found that he was "used", Alison began to study therapy with his friends and began to escape Noah. Noah can't stand it at this time. Alison's pain and weakness have become objects of Noah and many other men's use.
Alison's "intemperance":
When Alison saw the novel written by Noah, when he returned to Montauk's house sadly, he shared with Cole that he wanted to be a person who changed the world and made a difference when he was young. In the setting of the plot, we also learned that due to family reasons, Alison did not go to school as he wished. I think from a certain part, she still hopes that others can pay attention to her, and she still has "a small degree of ambition" in her heart. When a writer fell in love with her, she did not think, "Is he way out of my league", why did the writer fall in love with her?
When she lived in the publishing house's hut, she met the publishing house's husband (an old man). The old man and her started being honest. The old man introduced Alison as an assistant, and then the relationship became weird. (I have to say that the old man's actor is really good. There is a scene that really shows the weird and tempting emotions very vividly, and the goose bumps are about to rise.) Later, the old man took the initiative to quit Alison. And said to Alison, "You are not suitable to be an assistant".
I really like a vocabulary in English, but in Chinese conversations, we don't often use boundaries called "boundaries". In life, we must have "boundaries" for the relationship between the opposite sex.
The problem with Alison is that she doesn't tell the secrets of her heart to the open-hearted talker, but she shares a lot of secrets with an outsider. Noah was Alison's closest person under the circumstances, but Alison didn't tell Noah about his child who was drowned in water, but he told an old man who had just known each other for a while.
When we reveal our secrets, that's when we get into relationships with each other. Alison's chaotic thinking of "intemperance" always arouses a man's compassion.
Cole: A child protected in a cursed family
I really like Cole, so man and sexy man. I feel the same with the children's shoes who watched the show. If it weren't made by the heroine Alison, he could have another child with Cole or adopt a child, and he would be able to live a happy life. From the perspective of Cole's overall role in the play, Cole's character is responsible and responsible, which is inseparable from Cole's mother's protection of Cole.
In the 7th episode of the second season, Cole's mother said that the Lockhart family was cursed because his grandfather did a bad thing. I think a lot of people watching the drama will read this point soon, ignoring this important information. I think the screenwriter must have seen or thought about many similar stories in life that resonated with the Bible. The misfortune of a family can be traced to the "ancestral level"! ! !
Once I listened to a pastor's sermon in a church and heard words like "Pray for the sins of our ancestors and let the blood of the Lord Jesus be cleansed." I thought "What is this?" and "It's a little weird." Later, I studied the Bible deeply and saw the story of the king of Israel. There are indeed records in the "Bible", and I found out after seeing stories in real life. The sins of a generation of kings, although they were not dealt with in that generation by the grace of God, must be dealt with in the next generations, because sins must pay a price.
Cole's father was drunk and had an affair. Cole's character, especially his honesty and loyalty to love, is inseparable from Cole's mother's protection of the family. In the seventh episode of the second season and the last episode of the fourth season, there are many places that are reflected. Cole's mother blocked information about the family's previous sins, and even told her children when the family was the poorest, that the family still has a very rich business, all in order to allow her children to continue their lives with confidence.
——————————————Lovely dividing line——————————————
The reason why everyone likes watching American TV shows is that the profoundness of American TV shows can reveal our inner secrets. But exposure is not the purpose of a work being created. The ultimate purpose is to make us think about why our lives fall into the quagmire and how can we get out of the quagmire:
1. Don't get married too early when you are young. Can you bear the baggages in marriage? This baggages includes each other's family, unsolved problems in growing up, and so on.
2. When you are in love and get married, you must think clearly, why do you want to get married? The hidden secret is the price you will bear in the future!
3.Stop making Bad choices! Stop making all unreasonable decisions;
4. Incomplete people cannot get happiness;
5. When marriage is more than just sex, all relationships can look good at the beginning, and the "pretend" things will definitely be revealed in the end. It is better to remove your mask early for the happiness of each other;
(The rest of the details are being added...)
