I remember when I first went to study in the United States in 2009, there was a heavy snowfall and no class. The teacher at that time gave me the newly launched "Modern Family" in the class. The first episode attracted me, and since then it has opened more than a dozen seasons. The road full of chasing drama, even three brushes and four brushes, became my spiritual opium in later years.
Despite the unfinished trend in the last two seasons, MDF is still my personal growth path, beyond TBBT, friends, the most important existence, always remind me to be a tolerant and courageous person.
Eleven years have passed, the adults in the play are visibly aging, and the children have changed from the appearance of young children to full-blown adults.
The final season of Modern Family will start this week, my American relatives, Farewell!
From 10 to 15 years, MDF swept almost all Emmy awards in comedy category. All actors participate in supporting roles, because everyone is an important part of the show, regardless of protagonist and supporting role.
MDF uses the single-lens shooting method of the pseudo-documentary mockumentary, which is similar to a reality show to create a real sense of record, connecting three small families under a big American family and showing them to the audience.
Three families, three lines, or develop independently, or collide with each other, the story structure is exquisite, and the laughs are not deliberate.
In the ordinary details of life, carefully interpret love and family affection.
The family members are playing tricks, and the various personal settings also reflect the diversity and tolerance. Some new social phenomena brought about by the great integration of the United States are used in the most humorous way, with non-aggressive language lines, Easily show it, which includes issues such as immigration, gay marriage, and children’s education. For a time, I yearned for such a free and open social atmosphere, and yearned for a family life of equal respect and respect in the "modern family."
Ten years later, I understand that real life is much more complicated than comedy, and "harmonious life" is not easy to come by. But the touch that MDF brought to me still retains.
So what is a Modern Family?
?
Parents Come in All
Shapes, Sizes, and Sexualities
The modern family mainly consists of three small families, Jay, his daughter Claire, and son Mitchell.
Jay's family is a combination of old couples and young wives + immigrant wives + reorganized family.
(Jay + Gloria + Manny +Joe +Stellathe dog)
After the divorce, cabinet tycoon Jay married Gloria, a sexy, beautiful and hot-tempered Colombian immigrant. He also brought a combination of his son Manny, an old man and a young wife, and a world of different backgrounds, which inevitably appeared in various surroundings. Contradictions and conflicts of language, identity, and culture.
The Claire family is a standard configuration for the middle class.
(Phil+Claire+Haley+Alex+Luke)
With three sons and daughters with different personalities and a big house in the suburbs, Claire and her husband Phil are the most typical middle-class American family. Their lives are full of various farce on the ground every day. Children’s education problems, husband and wife relationship management, middle-aged crisis, and real happiness can be seen in the trivialities of life.
The Mitchell family is a new family of gay couples + foreign adoptions of Asians.
(Mitchell + Cameron +Lily + Larry the cat)
Son Mitchell and partner Camron are a brand new family structure in the new era. They are the most "modern". They not only face people's incomprehension about this new type of family, but they also have the same worries and anxiety as traditional families. The sane and serious Mitchell is a full-fledged cityman, and the super drama queen Cameron is a farmboy from Missouri. Their different personalities and backgrounds also produced a lot of jokes, full of tension.
Love and Respect
❤️
Even if I don’t like it, but I still respect your ideas
Dad Jay is a typical American image of a big man, a straight man in the traditional sense, who is not good at expressing emotions and is puzzled by new things. I understand my son's sexual orientation and choices because of my love for my son. Although he did not support LGBTQ from the bottom of his heart, he tried his best to respect and tolerate in life.
At the same time, be frank with himself. Jay still feels uncomfortable facing his son's same-sex wedding, "You can be yourself, why can't I?"
In fact, everyone in the play has their own shortcomings. Claire is picky, Phil has big nerves, Jay is overbearing and serious, Cameron is emotional, Mitchell's egoism, ... But these shortcomings have made everyone learn to be tolerant and considerate of each other.
It conveys a core theme of the show.
"Although I am different from you, and although we often quarrel, I still love you and respect you."
Don't Be Afraid to Be Different
?️
We will win
Manny, who is a little ghost, has different preferences from children of the same age since he was a child. He who loves opera, history, and literature is out of character at school.
Mitchell said to him:
Following the crowd is safe and boring. Nowadays everyone wants to be maverick and to be a pioneer in pioneering fields. But in retrospect, you are a Buddha and you have been evaluated by others because of "different" and "strange", or were People evaluation. Self is a wonderful thing, and there are always different possibilities in different situations.
I hope everyone can not be afraid to become a "weird" and persist until the moment of victory.
There are many more chicken soup and life lessons in MDF.
In each episode, people will experience many unsatisfactory episodes, break up, encounter loss, suffer misunderstandings, and encounter difficulties. But we all know that when you come home at the end of the day, there are still family members to give you strength.
Just like real life, it is inseparable from firewood, rice, oil and salt, hard work, leisurely vacations, full of all kinds of annoying situations, you may quarrel with your family and cold war, you may face the communication brought about by parents getting old and children entering puberty. Obstacles, but as long as you still care about each other in your heart, all problems will eventually be resolved.
Family members are always accompanying and encouraging you in ways you can't imagine or understand.
MDF is a sitcom that made me laugh and cry countless times. In every 20 minutes of opening it, life seems to be simple and beautiful.
I am home.
