Valerie's marriage failed, Alex accepted her and her daughter unconditionally. Emmy (Alex's girlfriend) held her hand when she was disappointed with her parents.
Faced with the unreliability of his parents, Alex panicked when he was young. His only reliance was his sister Valerie. After discovering that his girlfriend Emmy had put her sister to sleep, he almost committed suicide after learning that the dog had been destroyed by humanity. But Leon was dumb. Perseveringly guarded by his side.
Laura's secretly crushed teacher actually likes her mother. When she is disappointed, even a stranger who has never met Dave will be a warm haven.
So, this is a story about dependence.
When a person is desperate, it would be a rare blessing in life if he could have a rest for a while.
In this way, it will not stop for a while and end life; it will not become cynical in the future and feel that people's hearts are dark and false.
This kind of reliance that appears at the right time can be close friends, friends who have met on the water, passers-by who have never met, or even regular or unconventional friends. They may not need to know your suffering, your confusion, and your helplessness, but their timely appearance, But it really makes you feel that loneliness in the world can be cured.
The human heart is amazing. When the unstoppable loneliness comes, this sense of helplessness is so strong that even the husband, wife, parents, and friends you meet day and night cannot resolve it, but a dog on the side of the road, a waiter in a restaurant, A knowing smile, a message from a stranger on the Internet, and the constant chatter of your grandmother while waiting for a red light have stabilized your floating hearts.
This kind of life-saving straw may only account for 8 seconds and 10 seconds of our lives, but it is the incredible sense of impermanence of life that supports us to move forward.
To deal with such surging emotional expression, if you accidentally deal with it through a sentence of "I am lonely, I am painful" + 60 episodes of super-dragging plot, like a domestic screenwriter, fortunately Zander Lehmann.
To deal with the exaggerated plot setting and the undercurrent emotional conflict so harmoniously, to a certain extent, it can even be said to be repressive, and it is so different from the comic tone of the whole show.
Yes, the title of the show, Casual, clearly shows the degree of openness of the plot and characters. Open Relationship is not the same thing at all, and 4P is also stress-free.
Relatively exaggerated personality and relationships, the feelings and conflicts of the characters appear to be quite restrained, and the dramatic outbreaks have never been used in clichés.
Even if the eight-person battle on Thanksgiving Day in Episode 8, Valerie/Laura/Alex/Emmy/Valerie’s ex-husband and lover/parents who have never been married together, it only ended with Valerie’s angrily leaving the table, without scolding or lifting the table. There was no fight, and it ended like this.
And that part of the childhood memories that Alex could only pee in the glass bottles he collected in order to avoid breaking the XOXO of strange adults in his living room in the middle of the night is even more sad.
But still, Alex just let it pass, not because it no longer affects him, but to explain clearly that the person who caused the harm will still not change.
The most violent reaction in the whole show is probably the only one that Laura said loudly to her mother and teacher.
Finally, the reason why Valerie and Emmy went to bed was too warm~
