Here's a little guide to watching Mad Men:
1. The play tells the story of Don, also known as Dick, the creative director of an advertising agency on Mandison Avenue in the United States in the 1960s. The best viewing experience is to imagine yourself as a person from that era when watching it, and then criticize it from the perspective of modern people after watching it.
2. This person has serious personal moral and emotional problems. For example, he pretended to be a deserter. For example, he cheated many times in marriage and treated his subordinates harshly. You could say he's an asshole in a way. Therefore, it is recommended that friends who are younger than 30 years old or are looking for a romantic and beautiful TV series should not watch it. After all, this drama really is that everyone has moral flaws, poor tolerance or failure to form three views. Friends, please do not seek abuse.
3. It is suggested that the audience for the show should be adults with certain judgment, social animals in the workplace and people in the industry, who will have a strong resonance.
4. It is undeniable that he is a genius in the creative field of advertising. He will understand that the essence of advertising is to weave a beautiful dream called happiness for people. Although he often brought pain and destruction to the people around him, everyone was going through unprecedented changes in that era. He is more like a figurative symbol of that era, seemingly beautiful but constantly challenging your inherent life.
5. The women in the show, the confusion and stress at work and at home, make them look like they all suffer from mental illness. Fortunately, philosophy teaches us that everything has two sides. Women are essentially human beings. Just because they have the ability to reproduce, they are required to be at home with their husbands and children, or they can only do clerical jobs and answer the phone. They suffer from social conventions. Rules and physical torture. So Betty's pain, Peggy's struggle, Joan's helplessness, and Maggie's anger are all closely related to Don. Maybe they left him because they found themselves or temporarily wanted to escape such a life.
6. The men in the play, in this newly rising reinforced concrete forest, every man earns, robs and plans for what he wants. They both love and hate women. The cruelty of reality made them break down and climb up again and again. Don's loss, Pete's confusion, Ryan's death, and Roger, who seemed to be the most relaxed, would also lose control of the company step by step because the company and family were coerced. right.
7. This drama is as cruel as the world of ants. It will show you the living life without reservation. Everyone is struggling in their own quagmire. As a spectator, how can you easily evaluate each of them? These things are still happening even after half a century, all the problems are still there, the solutions are different for each person, and the results are different. Maybe just as Don said, the essence of advertising is to arouse people's happiness, and everyone pays different prices behind the construction of this happiness, but whether the happiness they most seek really comes as promised, then And after that? Everyone is trying to seize the sense of happiness, but at the expense of the interests of those around them. Everyone is struggling, everyone wants to escape, and the feeling of being coerced by fate will make people unable to adapt.
8. The animation at the beginning shows Don falling from a tall building, surrounded by women he met, huge advertising posters, and at the end he was still sitting on the sofa drinking whiskey, thinking about the next idea. At the end of the last episode of the seventh season, there was an advertisement of Coca-Cola like the harmony of the whole world, and finally it was fixed on Don's face. You would feel that he seemed to be temporarily cured, and then once again threw himself into the red dust and enjoyed every time The joy of success, he is the kind of person who needs to constantly express himself, belongs to the kind of prodigal son who accepts gold but does not look back. So no matter what, to outsiders, he is a person who always has flowers and beauties in bright clothes. You have only envy, jealousy, and hatred for him, but no sympathy.
9. Just like the prompt at the beginning, when you see this, it means that you really want to watch this drama, and there is only one question I want to ask you, that is, what is a happy life like? Maybe sometimes it's just for fun and nothing else matters.
10. Finally, due to occupational diseases, I would like to say that the human resources of their company were mad by Don? Every time he leaves without saying goodbye, he can be suspended without pay, which is also the envy of his strength. Children make good use of their advantages. It is the kingly way to be the leader in the workplace, and the rest are bullshit.
