First I used CC and Monica as the introductory, and then used the mature woman theme as a guise. After seeing the tenth episode of the first season, I suddenly realized that this is about mature women, but at the beginning, the heroine’s milf deeds were mentioned according to the title of the film. , Even the heroine said, "Only once, I did it only once and I become one of them", which proves that the mature woman is an accident, a gimmick, not the core, and the heroine has no long-term development trend in this direction. . After the heroine milf returns to her true colors, the whole drama can only rely on a heavy milf Barb to support the title.
In fact, this drama is like a middle-aged version of Friends. Friends tells a bunch of stories about people in their 20s and 30s, and the town of Cougar tells a bunch of stories about people in their 40s. The theme also revolves around the role of CC (cleanliness, serious desire for control, nosy, loud talk, maternal love), forming a small circle of friends. Even the number of people is almost the same. There are six in Friends, three men and three women, plus one and a half in-game and half-outsiders (Gunther). There are also three men and three women in the mature town, plus a young hairy kid and one and a half in-game and half-outsiders (Tom). Joey & Chandler are closely related in Friends, and Bobby & Andy in Mature Town is even worse. The main scenes of the story are in the home of CC's character. Occasionally, the end of a season is in a new place, setting aside the old scene...It can be seen that the screenwriter of this play has a serious old friend complex.
But there are still many bright spots in Cougar Town. Except for the role of CC, each character's personality traits are bright spots, basically subverting the characters in Friends, unable to match the seats, this is quite successful. There is also a new adult son in the role of CC. The plot of her getting along with her son is also quite new. The plot of getting along with friends is a transplant from Friends. The relationship between the other two heroines is also one of the subversions of Friends.
The combination of similarities and bright spots is actually quite good. It makes people feel both intimacy and fresh. This is why I like this show so much. Some people say that CC’s acting skills have not improved, but can only play this kind of role, so what? It is already a success for an actor to have a role that the audience will remember, no matter how he or she surpasses himself, it will be left to the audience in the end. Only the characters that left a deep impression on the people at first, like Audrey Hepburn became the princess in everyone's mind after the Roman holiday, and Marilyn Monroe became the sexy in everyone's mind after the seven-year itch. Goddess... The image of an actor in the audience's mind is largely determined by the character, especially the character that left the first and deepest impression on people. Some people say that the plot of Cougar Town is boring, but who cares? This is a sitcom and not a drama, I want to go to an Oscar movie for the plot. I love this show because it brings me intimacy and freshness, warmth and touch.
It is also a sign of a mature woman, a sign of a middle-aged woman, and a sign of suburban life. Compared with Desperate Housewives, this drama is more happy, less dark, and less neurotic, so it is even more praised.
Also, does anyone think Laurie looks a lot like Scarlet Johanson?
