1. The little book about the history of Jewish wandering is the Bible that has influenced the whole world
Coincidentally, The L World is a show where most of the protagonists are of the same sex. However, from this narrow perspective, it has gone a long way.
It seems that there are many, many fucks, many, many unreasonable sex, and many, many strange combinations have had Love, which is another meaning of the world starting with L, and there are also death, transgender, derailment, betrayal, suicide, The possibility of having children, raising children, sex, the famous Alice's Lala network, many people and things outside the mainstream view appear in the lens.
The show can be better understood by looking back at its predecessor 10 years ago.
The old version of The L World started when a young girl Jenny who was about to get married moved to Los Angels to reunite with her fiancé, and became neighbors with a same-sex couple who had a stable relationship and lived together for 7 years. Death in this neighbor's swimming pool is the end.
In the middle, Jenny is straight, someone's fiancée, a young girl who works odd jobs in the supermarket, and dreams of being a writer. She has experienced being attracted by the attractive woman Marina, betrayed her fiancé, cheated and abandoned by Marina, and her life is so bad that she can't maintain it. Making a living, cutting off a long hair, dancing on the strip, starting to date other women, committing suicide, having a nervous breakdown, reconciling with her mother while breaking up with her family, fleeing her hometown with Max, a transsexual, and supporting each other to be herself , after the other party found herself, she resolutely separated from her, insisted on writing, seized the opportunity to become an influential writer, until she became the screenwriter and director of her own book, annoyed all her friends, and a girl who just borrowed her superior The actor fell in love, stole the film of his own film, and his best friend Shane crossed the friendship and became lovers until he died.
In the process of rebuilding herself in the gray ruins and shattered rubble after this Jenny kept being crushed by reality, she faced her new self over and over again, regardless of other people's projections, regardless of other people's Judging, saying without hesitation or weakness, this is who I am, I have suffered so much, even killing myself physically, to come here, I just want to be who I am.
Growth is painful. And the pain never ends.
Because human beings are a social organism, there are too many tiny particles that need to wait for every organism that really has it in consciousness to interpret it, perfect it, break it or even destroy it, and rebuild it; Repeat this process over and over. until physical death.
Perhaps by coincidence, Jenny was Jewish, which reminded me of the story of the book of the Bible. The spiritual home usually grows rapidly after the real home is destroyed. Because the Jews did not have a country, they established the most powerful system of spiritual comfort, and made the Bible a guideline for people's behavior and a spiritual treasure for surviving the years in darkness.
2. Long-term and stable love and intimacy are the curse and redemption of modern love
If I remember correctly, in the old ending 10 years ago, Bette and Tina were looking forward to adopting a child as a major rebuilding project of their family as they lived together for the second time. From a realistic point of view, it is a happy ending.
However, things are unpredictable, and the actor of Tina has shifted the focus of his life to being a conceptual artist, using static painting or installation art as a way of dialogue with the world, opening a new life. So even though in the sequel to Generation Q, she hit two episodes of soy sauce. Her real life is more like an extension of the 10-year-old show, adopting a child of color and becoming a visual artist herself, and in the new show, Bette is running for mayor instead.
That's where reality and drama intersect, and it's fun.
If you have seen Laurel Holloman's "Shuang Shu Qi Love" in his early years, it is a handsome little T who is not inferior to Shane, and has his own style. Inside her girlfriend is a black Rapunzel. Holloman herself is also bisexual, and then she successfully played the gentle, tough and tolerant Tina in The L world.
Tina doesn't seem to have struggled too much with her life, which is why she was attracted to Bette at the first sight at the museum where she and her fiancé were watching the exhibition. Bette is so determined, so she knows what she wants, so strong and so bright, and their presence fills the most emptiness in each other's lives, so Tina barely struggles and is extremely lucky to have sex When I met my first girlfriend, I met my important life partner, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I am the love of my life. She herself once said, sometimes thinking, I only experienced Bette, is that Bette? But if it was Bette, what more could I ask for?
It looks like Bette screwed everything up, and it looks like Tina betrayed the way she once thought she was living. However, the real problems that need to be solved need to be faced independently.
In the story that happened later, they rebuilt themselves in other people, rediscovered the meaning of their relationship, learned how to get along better, and even had the chance to be together again. They have acquired one of the most important meanings of this life in each other, giving each other a vibrant relationship, and it doesn't matter how it ends.
Because living each other vigorously is the most important value of their relationship. If this value disappears, being together will be a betrayal of the past relationship.
I wonder if Bette, an art critic and collector, will collect the works of Laurel Holloman, a conceptual artist?
Bette is a super-powerful, strong attacking total, and that never changes.
Probably because she woke up early enough to herself, she went the furthest in shaping herself, and made her the most eye-catching one in the crowd. She always knew what she wanted? Perseverance in building her own strengths has also made her the most accomplished person in reality. In a way, she can represent minorities, and she can represent openly gay people who have gone far in the real world. So, in the new episode, Bette goes to run for mayor, and no audience finds it inconsistent, not as unconvincing as everyone has been questioning how Shane became rich.
Her excellence and charisma are so obvious. Not only concepts, feelings, and techniques, but also details, rationality, and the big picture. This is probably the reason why she is deeply attracted to Tina like a magnet and attracts the audience.
What's the problem with Bette? It's very, very, very, very fragile in an invisible place, when the light is dim.
Not even her 16-year-old daughter knows how to deal with grief.
Bette is always easily overwhelmed by hardship and grief. If she is not careful, she will fall into pain and cannot extricate herself. At this time, she will rely on a gentle partner, or a working partner who admires her and understands her pain and situation.
This kind of sympathy that needs no explanation, similar to the same disease, not only protects her powerful ego, which is her self-esteem, but also gives her real comfort and a realistic outlet. That's why she always has a relationship with her colleagues. Life partner is not among them at this time.
In the toughest of times, Tina wouldn't be a shoulder Bette could really lean on. This may be the biggest curse that Bette can't continue to maintain this relationship with Tina.
Struggling for who she is seems to be Tina's real appeal at this stage of her life. In other words, what is my true sexuality and who am I without Bette? What will I go all out for in my life, what will I fight for? Bette couldn't help with that. On the contrary, letting Tina go is the best thing Bette can do. Fate arranged for the actor to not be able to act, probably forcing the screenwriter to answer this question, why did Tina not continue with Bette. And who is Tina, besides being the perfect person for the ideal partner?
What is true long-term intimacy? Are they together all the time? Been together as lovers all the time? Is it true long-term intimacy? Can such a relationship switch roles.
I remembered that in "Grey's Anatomy", there were 2 males and 1 female, three patients and their families who came to the hospital. Patient male 2 and female 1 were a couple, while patient male 1 and female 1 were a couple, male 1 and doctor Explained, we lived together for decades and suddenly found that the spark between us was gone. She met male 2, and male 2 made her really happy. Therefore, when we get along in this way, everyone feels ok. And I have a very deep relationship with her.
We are each other's relatives. But I hope she can continue to find her happiness.
In other words, when love grows old, do we maintain it on a ventilator or bravely pull the plug.
3. To be open, resist and speak up is my mission and yours.
Alice is probably the most gay right now.
But in the old version of The L World, she was an obnoxious bisexual, a pseudo-Lesbian obsessed with men's dicks.
She is a big mouth, and she can always spread the gossip news with the fastest speed in the circle of friends, lala circle, and even mainstream media.
I have always felt that she is actually the best candidate for the mayoral election, and she has always been Alice's most basic action guide.
She tried unforgettable and ecstasy pure sex with Papi, the princess of the same name as Shane; she dated a vampire researcher; and she had a relationship with Lisa, a man whose gender identity is Lela but male, mainly to satisfy herself in one fell swoop All issues of indecisive bisexuality, then fell through because of gender identity Lara's men won't want to fuck her with a dick; she had a teaching love affair with Bette's boss Phyllis; even with a no-nonsense soldier Sister Tasha has established a serious and serious relationship with the system. When she has a good impression on others, she will bravely admit to Tasha, and when she finds out that Tasha has an affair with another girl, she will leave space. Let the other person choose. Her career in Jiquan has always been experimental, which may be attributed to her being a media practitioner. Recording, observation, and practice are her principles of action, while foresight, thinking, and truth-seeking are her guidelines for practice.
Paradoxically, Alice's most unforgettable relationship was with Dana, who turned from friend to lover, and at that time Alice was even one of the most terrifying breakup exes we've ever seen on screen.
She babbled about her heartbreak on her own show, never ending an episode, she intercepted and tracked Dana, she was worrying about gains and losses all day, she burst into tears anytime and anywhere until she burst into tears, she even put Dana's humanoid billboard at home , Alice, who is so free and easy, can't be separated from her friends and lovers.
However, at the end of Dana's life, she was the one who carried Dana's life and treatment. When Dana died, she was the saddest one in there. I will never forget the scene where she collapsed and sat on the ground. The kind of heartache of losing my love forever is touching. She fought for Dana at her funeral, she stole Dana's ashes, and everyone said goodbye to Dana in their own way. Her little love and big love for Dana are so vigorous and radiant that even Laura, the official girlfriend of Dana's official match, pales.
In the following life, she still cheered up, tried to find her love, and tried her best to love each other. Will not give up the chase because of any harm.
Another most valuable thing about her is that anything, in Alice's eyes and hearts, can be brought to the table for serious discussion.
So, that's why there is an Alice Show, right?
She was the first in that crowd to wake up. This is probably the reason why Nat came back to her later. After he really made the same mistakes and solved the knot, Nat knew what kind of person he needed, or what kind of person was really shining, not caring The ex-wife of a good child is not Gigi, the ex-wife who has a common child with whom he is inextricably linked, not that unfinished dream. It was the Alice who did everything possible, even at the risk of losing herself, to find a way to make her happy.
Alice seems to be in the process of letting go to make the other party happy, and she has completed the separation of herself who couldn't extricate herself and separated after losing Dana, and became a brand new self.
For the same person, a birth and separation, plus a death farewell, if you can survive, it is enough to make you the second person.
4. Shane, who can't promise her, is a completely giving personality
Shane is alone, and seems to be the loyalty of a wanderer to his own identity.
In Generation Q, Shane lost his wife.
The ex-wife knew Shane was scared, but didn't know why. She doesn't understand Shane, and the reason why Shane can't take responsibility is not because he loves himself too much, but because he doesn't love himself too much. She didn't know that it was because she didn't love herself that she agreed to force herself to raise children with each other, even though she didn't want it in her own heart. So they will be separated eventually.
Because of whether or not to have children, from a practical point of view, they will lead a completely different life; from a spiritual level, they pursue different things. However, this is not the most important, but whether each other really understand each other. Knowing why the other person does or doesn't do it is the beginning of understanding.
It ended with Shane adopting a dog, and perhaps the beginning of her learning to take responsibility for herself.
She seems to have been living for her pleasure, not just sexual pleasure and orgasm. Shane has always been unable to refuse the eyes from others and their desire for her. She and Bette are two people with special contrasts.
Shane is probably the one who is closest to divinity among all people. I feel that the gay priest in the new drama should be the one Shane should establish a relationship with.
Because they know the desires and desires of others best.
Shane is the only one of all her friends who can keep secrets for others. She is also the person who cares about other people's feelings the most. I remember when she went home with Carmen, when Carmen rebelled against her family and had to come out, she was towards Carmen's mother from the bottom of her heart. of. For her half-brother, who has no life, she can do things that she would not do for herself even if she had no money. Her romance is just a big love (it must be too late at night, forgive my weird logic).
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the chosen daughter. Her temperament is feminine, and she is the kind of androgynous stunner that combines the charm of both sexes, exuding a fatal sexual attraction. This kind of charm is destined to make her life do not need to find herself in doubt. It also made me start to wonder about the relationship between self and responsibility.
Are people without ego more likely to have no sense of responsibility? It seems to be, because I don't feel that at this moment, I should stand up, I should do something.
The person who has no ego takes on the big responsibility of the world by giving up responsibility for the small self.
Therefore, Shane's existence acts as a powerful symbol for all non-self to admit that love and sex between same-sex and opposite-sex are the same. And so on to all other so-called illogical love relationships that are not worldly recognized: such as across age, class, skin, and even orientation. Shane once let a straight man who knew she was a T-T, fell in love with her while constantly filming her. Because he wanted to know what Shane was feeling when the girl orgasm, and then he found that the divinity in her moved him, a sense of self-salvation that you are the girl in the world, and I am only for you.
This is a journey with no results, but a powerful testimony to the possibility of all love.
At the same time, everyone loves her, which convinces the audience; in other words, it also shows that she is worthy of everyone's love.
She can touch the world for someone who wants nothing from the world.
After 10 years, restarting the new drama, the first 10 minutes must have been well thought out.
The beginning of Generation Q starts with an early morning sex scene, which expresses the relationship sideways and is the focus of the new season.
5. Seeing each other is the homework we need to do, and knowing how to choose is also the graduation thesis of this homework
Dani and Sophie
The new generation struggles with itself a lot less. Many lesbian girls know their orientation at a very young age, and there are also many girls who don't know their orientation. They can learn about themselves through many channels. When they feel that it is not right to establish an intimate relationship with a boy, they can easily Find similar people through the Internet, take the first step quickly, and find a potential person to try. The moral judgment of casual sex is also much lower, and most of them can accept this form of dating in which physical intimacy precedes mental intimacy when a regular partner is not found. As far as sexual orientation is concerned, the only criterion for judging is which gender makes you sexually aroused and willing to have sex with it.
The acceptance of the parents’ generation is also much higher, which is related to the degree of openness of the society. Among the parents of the Q generation, what is opposed is not the orientation itself, but is it true when they choose each other as each other’s partners Found the right person.
From this point of view, I think Generation Q is a success. As the seemingly most stable couple in the new drama, the couple who are going to the next stage of their lives, Dani and Sophie's family, no matter which side they are, will no longer entangle the orientation of their daughters, no matter how different their families are. .
As both parents feared, the problems in the couple's relationship, after the peak of the passionate sex in the first act, were full of tests.
For the Ji elders, the pressure from the outside world is much simpler. Compared to Jenny's bloody struggle, the struggle for orientation seems to have vanished.
This seems to be a paradox.
I remember that Yu Qiuyu once commented on Zhang Ailing's "Love in a Fallen City" and said that in modern China's free love novels, almost all the hero and heroine are in opposition to the feudal ethics and class. , as long as these struggles succeed, their love becomes a legend, and if their struggle fails, their love becomes a tragedy. In the love written by Eileen Chang, men and women each have their own demands and their own selfishness. Is it possible for them to succeed? Fail or not? The first time is up to them. This is the modernity of Eileen Chang's novels, and why she is still so fascinating 100 years later.
Everything went smoothly, it was so boring. It's hard to do everything on your own.
Dani was a little clumsy.
In terms of love, it is far less comfortable than her work. She was sincere, sincere, and then forbearance and mute. She is used to digesting all the problems by herself. Being with a completely different Sophie is Dani's first rebellion against the established life; running to do campaign PR for Bette is Dani's second rebellion against the established cause.
When it came to choosing, it was Dani who was decisive. When she was sad, she would flee to work, and when she was working, she could forget everything. She is alone.
Sophie is free-spirited.
She would give feedback on her feelings in a timely manner, and I don't know if that's what attracted Dani to her in the first place. When looking for a partner, you'll be more likely to see the good in the other person that you don't have. Sophie's frustration at work is not as strong as Dani's. After her transitional promise to invite a certain guest but failed, her heart and performance were not too entangled, and her living state was relaxed. When she feels alienated, she's with friends, family, she's in a group.
Perhaps due to space limitations, how they fell in love with each other was not explained reasonably, which is why everyone, like their parents, did not understand their relationship. Physically a good match seems to be the laziest way to feel convincing, however, in real life there are many true loves who are completely unworthy in appearance. Only after getting to know each other deeply will you know why they choose each other.
Their relationship explores how lovers communicate.
When communication is invalid, or when communication is blocked, should people let the relationship drift away, or even find new channels or new communication methods; or when they find that they cannot communicate with each other, are they capable of Realizing that maybe each other is not the right choice for each other?
And when new communication channels appear earlier than new communication methods, what should we do?
Finley 和 Sophie
Sophie is black, but the softest of the 3. She should probably be a good friend, whether it's Micah or Finley when she's unhappy, she's always by her side. She has a word or two to make a good friend feel accepted. So guess her peach will be much more than Dani.
Finley is a dazed person who doesn't have any clear plans for the future; I don't know why, but I thought the phone call with Dad was pretty moving. She was always the one chosen. When there was such a wonderful pastor in front of her, she flinched. The subconscious is deliberately messing up that relationship.
Yet she is also a good friend.
The progress of their previous relationship, on the contrary, is the most felt in the film, which is real and natural and comfortable. There is real interaction and it comes naturally. The part where they go to bed is handled very well, the acquaintance suddenly undresses, the laughter is sure, the warmth is also sure, and then sex is inevitable.
After the first kiss, the two struggled, covered up, tried to pretend that nothing happened. Hey, fools. Poverty, coughing, and loving someone can't hide thiocyanate.
6. The diversification relationship that the three people do not discuss is not as good as Legend of Sword and Fairy and Legend of Sword and Dragon Saber.
Alice 、 Nat 和 Gigi
All three of them are undoubtedly beautiful. The conclusion drawn from the sex scenes they contributed. The older Alice's state and charm have increased unabated. It turns out that everyone's peak period is not the flowering season of youth. The flowering period is different and the length is different. Gigi is blingbling's big eyes twinkling, with the evil smile, she is unforgettable at first sight. And Nat, although his face collapsed a bit, he still couldn't hide the fact that he was a great beauty.
As we all know, Gigi, the Devil's ex-wife, can even feel the spark between her and Alice.
Threesomes are complicated. Although, in geometry, the triangle is the most stable. If one person accounts for half of the two-person relationship, the failure rate is 50%, while for the three-person relationship, if one person accounts for 33%, the failure rate is 67%.
You see, Alice is challenging the difficulty again. Even more difficult, the other two were once a wife and wife who raised 2 children.
However, their relationship has its own problems.
What Nat needs to solve is whether to reconcile with Gigi from the bottom of his heart, not with hatred, because there are children in common, whether to forgive or not, reconciliation must be done. In fact, I always feel that if the other party wants to leave this relationship in any form, they should show respect, not necessarily forgiveness, but it may take time to reconcile with the matter of leaving, but in the end, reconciliation is necessary. Cheating is a complex issue in itself. Because it has always been, and even all modern romantic love is built out of relationships outside of marriage. Marriage itself is just a way of aligning property and redistributing social resources. And the relationship between the two parties after one party derails, whether it is to continue the relationship, disconnect the relationship, or get along in another form, needs to start a new journey and re-establish a relationship.
When Gigi and Alice describe her separation from Nat, what she can feel is that what she is sad about is not the cheating incident itself, or that the cheating incident was known to Nat and hurt Nat. In the process of getting along with Alice, she also felt Alice and worked hard to establish a good connection with her. Maybe she needs to seriously consider what kind of relationship she is suitable for, or that Nat is by no means the person who can completely satisfy Gigi, and her resentment towards Nat is even stronger after losing Nat. Not having the other party makes her want to have the other party, which may be the crux of her problem. So, when Nat came to find Alice again, people couldn't help but wonder, what about Gigi, or what would Nat and Gigi's life be like without Alice? Back to the old days, or did it end again with Gigi cheating on another person?
Alice, Nat and Gigi, to be honest, I don't think Alice has much of a problem, she has been a generous partner and loyal to her choice from start to finish. She understands Gigi, she wants her current girlfriend to be happy, and she acknowledges Gigi's indelible place in her new relationship. She kept herself open and pioneering. When she found out that the direction of things had changed, she stopped in time to suffer the pain and the reality of the result alone.
However, it seems like a gamble. Willing to gamble is to admit defeat.
Perhaps influencing another person is the value of the relationship between Alice and Nat. From Alice, she can know what is reconciling with the past and what is fighting for her future.
7. An invisible relationship is a mirror that cannot see the other person, and the room always feels empty.
Pastor with Finley, Shane and Quiara
Putting these two pairs together, it may be the similarity between them.
Finley didn't believe in God, not even the fact that Rebecca was a real priest. It's the same as Quiara knows that Shane doesn't want children, but still has to wait for her to accept it.
Frustration is often felt in these types of relationships. How much love is so heartbreaking.
Well, there's only so much in the show, so that's it.
8. Situational companionship, the situation changes, the relationship changes
Lene and Tess, Bette and Felicity
These two pairs are colleagues, and colleagues are actually quite easy to fall in love.
Because we often have common goals and common enemies, and get along day and night.
However, work goals always change, and no company or job is set in stone.
Lene wants to sleep with the boss Shane, and he is destined to not grow up with Tess. Maybe he needs an external force to break up.
Bette's campaign will be affected by Felicity's wife status, even though Felicity has been with her through tough times. The hard times have passed, and it is time to say goodbye.
I believe that long-term relationships are difficult, and marriage doesn't mean leaving, but if Felicity is reluctant to give up her current marriage, why bother to justify herself that it's not an affair, but a relationship, and she's pulling Bette to fight together? ? Compared with other affairs, what's so great. Or wait for someone else to play a card before you play the relationship, what is worth cherishing when the person who gets it gets it.
9. Like an old friend, like a new life, like a trap
Micah and Jose
Transgender orientation is a very confusing thing, who knows what hormones will do. Why not film this, Micah's confusion. Lots of flowers can be photographed.
Giving Jose a husband is really old-fashioned, a little bit like a man who suddenly threw a husband out of Marina back in the day.
After writing it, it is suddenly a little boring. The reasons for the space, events and details are not enough, and every relationship is not explained. These existing relationships are some of the more common ones.
Only threesomes and two fiancee relationships are up to the point of discussion.
10. Are there really so many people looking forward to the rivalry of two general attacks with communication barriers and grief expression barriers?
Bette and Dani
In one episode, Bette and Dani each wore a rose-red outfit, one was a top and the other was trousers, so I vaguely felt that the costume team was very attentive.
However, the chemical reaction, or the occurrence of love, does require some favorable time and place.
This Timing honestly didn't show up in Season 1.
They must admire each other and see each other.
As for whether there is a story, it depends on the trajectory of their own lives. Dani's character, if she doesn't have a clear relationship with Sophie, she probably won't have anything with Bette. She doesn't have Bette's burdens~~, her love, resistance, and progress are all natural.
In other respects, I think, the writers should be a little bit bolder, a little bit bolder, a little bit bolder. This is The L World. Be like Alice, It's always Alice.
Looking forward to next season. See You Again~
PS: The soundtrack is still very good, especially the last sentence What about us has been chanted repeatedly, and it's on the top.
What about us?
