Since the first season of "Prison Break", it has been sought after in schools. Thanks to the work of the subtitle team and network tools such as BT, every Tuesday of the show in the United States has become our "Prison Break Festival". And "24 Hours" has 5 seasons, 24 episodes per season, and extremely compact plot, and watching it only taught me to breathe. Even if you haven't seen these two TV series, you must have at least heard the general plot. They are familiar, so I won't talk about them any more.
The biggest feature of the two dramas is that there are extra branches. A story that could have been developed smoothly, is called the twists and turns of the screenwriter and director from time to time. The protagonist (Mike/Jack) is always on the run, always dealing with all kinds of mishaps, always coming back to life from one seemingly desperate situation after another. When I first watched it, this set of tricks also made everyone addicted, "ups and downs", "twisted and bizarre", "compact plot", "fascinating", and the evaluation was quite high. But looking at it, many people get annoyed. They feel that there are too many twists and turns, too many gimmicks, and it is always like being played by the screenwriter as a monkey, and their evaluation of them gradually decreases. In the end, there are many people who are too lazy to read them, and depreciate them every time.
Success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He. The advantages of these two dramas seem to have become their disadvantages.
However, for this style of plot, I still like it. At least let me see a calm, tough way of doing things.
Take a look at Mike, who has escaped from prison, and Jack, who has been exhausted for 24 hours. When they encounter various problems and setbacks, when their previous efforts are destroyed, they almost immediately start to find ways to solve these setbacks, save the situation or find new ones. breakthrough. Have they ever been depressed? Not at all, not even a frown. When there is a problem, try to solve the problem. The smooth connection between these two steps, there is no emotional fluctuation in the middle, which reduces the efficiency of solving the problem.
Isn't it cool? The coolest thing is that they always find incredible ways to creatively solve dilemmas very quickly. So, while constantly dealing with emerging problems, the two gradually pushed the plot forward. "24 Hours" always makes Jack come to fruition at the last minute of the 24th hour. "Prison Break" allowed Mike to get out of prison successfully, although he was still in a hurry to escape.
Some people say that this is an artistic exaggeration and a plot need. I admit, the way they solve problems is very artistic. Who in reality is as smart as Mike and Mike? There are, at least not people with average IQs like you and me. Although we can't be as flexible as they are, we can definitely try to avoid mood swings and calmly think about solutions when problems arise. This does not require extraordinary intelligence, but only requires us to develop a rational and tenacious style of doing things.
When it comes to this way of doing things, my mom is a typical example. When I was in kindergarten, my parents were separated due to work, and my mother, who was very young at the time, took me to live alone on a state farm. Because my mother works in finance, she has a grasp of the economic situation of many units, and the economic problems of the leaders are quite clear. Knowing more, the narrow-minded leader became uneasy and began to deal with his mother. The mother, who didn't want to cause trouble, was forced to start the difficult road of reporting. Since I was still young at the time, I didn't know much about the specific situation. I just heard from my mother that the leader was quite powerful in the local area. Even after my mother's various letters were not sent out through the local post office, they were directly transferred to that person. hands. You can imagine the atmosphere at that time. The final result is, of course, that evil can outweigh righteousness, but the scene where the young mother took a few years old me to fight against the local forces alone gave me a deep understanding of my mother's tenacity and calmness.
Now our family is basically run by my mother. As the saying goes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Over the years, there have been many troubles at home, and we have faced various difficulties, but we have come out of the difficulties one by one. I know, it's my mother who is constantly trying to figure out a solution. But it's rare to see Mom complaining, or even mentioning these difficulties in a serious tone. She worked hard, even though she always kept a relaxed smile in front of my dad and me. In addition to being calm, you also need to give the people around you an optimistic expression. I guess Mike and Jack are not as good as my mother.
Speaking of which, I also seem to have inherited the demeanor of a mother. I remember when I was in junior high school and high school, my grades were not stable. One test was good, and one test was bad. Every time I fail a test, I always have no time to be depressed, and my mood is very calm. Because I have to start thinking about how to keep my parents unaware that I didn't do well in the test, how to make them not feel too disappointed, and how to try to delay it until the next time I try to pass the test so that they know that I didn't do well in the test last time. In this way, for one semester and one academic year, I studied hard and struggled with these things, and completed my junior high and high school studies.
Now that I'm graduating and working, there will be more troubles and problems. More than once I met my former classmates and friends on QQ, and I heard them constantly complaining about work and life, like a bunch of grumbling husbands and wives chatting there. In fact, isn't everyone's life like this? It's the same on TV, and it's the same in reality. Life is always made up of troubles and difficulties, and nothing is ever smooth. As long as you are calm, tenacious, and don't give up trying to deal with it, not just panic, frustration and complaints, nothing can't be solved. When encountering a problem, first think about the worst and worst consequences; then think about how to deal with the worst consequences, if you can resolve it, you want to resolve it; A way to bring the situation away from the worst possible outcome. After you have considered even the worst, you have nothing to fear. When the final problem is solved, you will find that the situation is always much better than you expected.
That's my mom's philosophy, and that's what I try to do, and presumably Mike and Jack in Prison Break and 24 think so too. Finally, imitating the article in "The Reader" to extract a so-called truth of life: life, it is the process of constantly appearing problems and constantly resolving them. Let's face life's troubles as calmly and tough as Mike Schofield and Jack Ball and my mom.
