This is not the kind of "female inspirational drama" you are familiar with

First of all, GLOW is definitely an out-and-out female drama. Fourteen women, co-starring in a wrestling show. There are unscrupulous little actors, housewives with broken marriages, black people who have been waiting for opportunities behind the scenes for many years, the second generation of stars who are opposed to wrestling by their fathers because of their daughters, movie fans, little otaku girls, and strangely dressed wolf girls who are in desperate need of re-employment. The champions...

They come from different races, tall, short, fat and thin, but they all have one thing in common-they all need this job, even though it seems ridiculous at first. Just like when the Cambodian girl stood up to leave during the first test, she turned back. This is not an ideal job, but most of them are like Ruth. They have nowhere else to go, so it's better to stay and have a look.

However, this drama is the same as the common female inspirational drama.

Following the line of the past "female drama"-both at home and abroad, the heroine sleeps with her friend's husband, and the two women will inevitably tear you to death. You stab me and poison your family. Gongdou drama is constantly escalating and runs through the whole. drama. Think about the drama in which a girlfriend digs into the wall not long ago.

But GLOW is not. "Playing Junior Three" only played one game, and the two of them worked together for their career. After Ruth was beaten by Debbie, he faced his mistakes and tried to save the friendship. At the critical moment when Debbie restarted her career, she did not lose her mind because of anger. With her status as the number one star, Ruth's job could be completely destroyed, but in the end she chose Ruth who could best set off her. Play the villain.

Melanie, who fears that the world will not be chaotic, joked about the miscarriage of director Sam's ex-wife Cherry. Later, he was caught by Cherry after breaking the curfew. You thought these two people were going to have a son, but they didn't—they were not enemies. Although Melanie behaved naively, she didn't want to anger Cherry being fired-she needed this show to prove that she had some value. Melanie is not bad, although she snatched Ruth's shoes, the latter helped her out when she had no money to eat; when other girls came to ask her aunt for help, it was Melanie who generously shared the tampon-this is true sisterhood. !

Debbie and the male wrestler have not returned from bed all night, but are caught by Cherry. You think that according to Cherry's attitude towards Melanie, she will kill Debbie-after all, Cherry feels that she is the best of all, and Debbie became the top brand only because she is a blonde and white girl who has acted in soap operas. But no, the two married women smoked at the door and chatted about the macho's bed skills. Of course, the upright Cherry punished Debbie with training, but there was no personal grievance.

Ruth and the wolf girl were roommates and it was not going well at first-they threw the dead squirrel on the roommate's bed and put them in the "Superior" Tucao series. But Ruth tolerated and understood the identity of the wolf girl, and the wolf girl opened herself slightly to her, and the two took a step back and the contradiction was resolved.

Ronda went to bed with the director, and the little fan girl Justine found out and stole the camera to frame her. The director asked what was going on, Ronda said, the little girl admires you and is jealous. When you thought Ronda was going to take the opportunity to trample this little girl to death, she told the director: Go talk to her and respect her. And Ronda did not go to bed with the director, not to bribe him to get special care, nor was it forced to fear the director's power, but because she really wanted to have sex with him.

Although these women beat each other on stage (even if the fight was negotiated), one stepped on the other to win the title, but they helped each other and understood each other off stage, and this program finally took shape.

Some people say that the roles of these female wrestlers in the game are too exaggerated and too rigid-these roles are designed by producer Bash. He overthrew Sam’s original dystopian feminist setting as the gold master, and gave the wrestlers a new set of "down-to-earth" identities. Perhaps Bash’s cognition and taste are so poor, or he is just catering to the appreciation tastes of the general audience. This new identity more or less represents the shackles of the patriarchal society on the development of women-you want to get out of the box (such as Sam’s avant-garde vision), most people don’t buy it, so the show can’t go on and women can’t get anything.

So in order to at least gain something-because they have to eat and live after all, women must make concessions and try their best in their existing little space. They didn't wait for the savior or the male protagonist to come from the sky to solve all the problems and pave the way for them. They put on new costumes, talked about new lines that they didn't like, and worked together to study how to portray the new characters better.

Bash ran out of money and couldn't rent the venue, and these women didn't give up either. They use the method they can think of-washing the car, to raise money. Of course, some people may say that women dressing exposed to people washing a car is an act of materializing themselves, and the money they make from washing a car is in vain. But don't forget that they are limited by the times and resources, and they don't have a family like Bash to rely on. In the end, the funding problem was not solved by Bash alone in persuading his mother, but by these women using their eloquence to persuade these high-ranking wealthy people.

Of course, the finished product of this show is not high-profile, superficial, and full of routines in the eyes of today’s audiences, but whether the final show is good-looking or not is not the focus of this show-if you go to watch the highest-rated daytime real person in the United States today Show, you won't think the quality is high. What this drama wants to show is a group of women who seem to be unable to accomplish anything, overcoming difficulties and working together to achieve one thing. At the beginning of the first episode, Ruth said when she auditioned that she didn't want to act as a secretary who had only one line with no nutrition. She wanted a role with meaningful and vital lines. In the end, she stood on the ring of GLOW, playing the role of her own participation in the design, speaking the lines she came up with. This was her breakthrough.
