My American relatives~

Modern family is the ideal family in many people's minds. Relatives keep coming and going, but it is not annoying, but makes people feel warm and happy. Everyone is not perfect, but everyone has a common advantage. Of course, it may also be the setting of a melodrama. Everyone will not care too much and will soon realize their mistakes. This is really a commendable quality. If you are not happy with outsiders, you can be alienated. Family members are always partners. Being able to realize your own mistakes and forgive others' faults is the most important quality in a long-term relationship.

I want to say something for three people who are often attacked by barrage, maybe because after watching the eleven seasons, I really think it is my American relative hahaha. He has a good impression of each character. Barrage often gives me a kind of I feel that I only see the shortcomings of this person, but ignore the contributions of others, know how to be grateful, and know that seeing the good in others is really important in family harmony. Writing about these three people, I hope everyone can be less hostile in the barrage and have more happiness in this drama.

Claire, Xiaoka, Lily.

Other personality traits actually have some parts that are in line with the current popularity. Sister Ge and JAY have obvious advantages in matching personality between young and old. The beauty of society and the tenderness of the old man are a combination that will not be disgusted in any era. Manny insists on self, and the high IQ Alex has taken care of his family silently early on. Both Haili and Haili are brainless handsome men and beauties, but they have their own shining points, high emotional intelligence, and good luck. Luke is stupid but handsome, and the actor's clever bonus is added. In the later period, the screenwriting setting is quite awkward, but it did not incur too much ill feeling. Phil is handsome and innocent, funny and loves home. Mickey, gentle and humane elite.

Claire, Xiaoka, and Lily are relatively unpleasant. Claire resembles the image of a traditional mother. At first, she was busy with the family. She was completely like a traditional Chinese mother. She sacrificed her career for three children. The shortcomings seemed to be common to traditional mothers, almost not like the cool mothers in American dramas. Disrespect for children's privacy, grumpy and nagging. Xiaoka is very expressive, sometimes selfish, and looks unpleasant. Although Lily's cool personality is in fashion, she has too few appearances in the later stage, she didn't deepen her advantages, and she didn't have any cute points. As a result, she was gradually attacked.

In order to avoid the influence of brain supplements and personal thoughts, all the content mentioned is that there has been a plot in the play.

Claire, the image of a housewife who always wears casual clothes, the three children in the family, plus the things that innocent Phil often does, the amount of housework has skyrocketed, Hailey and Luke are not reliable types, although too much monitoring It was an invasion of privacy, but for example, Hailey did too much extraordinarily, and I couldn't blame Claire for worrying.

Ke is a smart and beautiful woman. She was so graceful in college, and she was reflected in the words of her friends in the past. Later, she was still very good when she re-entered the workplace. She really sacrificed herself for the family. She could be a more dazzling existence than Sister Singer, but Sister Singer can appear beautifully, but K has no chance. Phil once forgot the beauty of Claire who gets along day and night. He thinks Sister Singer has face by the side, but ignores the song. My sister’s husband, JAY, created opportunities for her. Fortunately, the envy of others woke him up and reminded him of Claire's past.

Don't really be a housewife. I don't have a beautiful beauty, a rich dad, and a husband who has a bottom line, a conscience and does not make mistakes, although it is a tragedy. The children and husband kept moving forward with the help of the housewife, but the housewife could only gradually fall behind and retired in the repetition of meaningless labor. It is only a great man who can make progress in trivial matters alone. Most ordinary people, regardless of men and women, will only fall behind if there is a housewife environment.

Also, I often wonder, where is the accusation of our generation against parents, is it another kind of arbitrary judgment after mastering the right to speak, for example, parents violate the right to privacy, but many children do not control themselves. Parents are very nagging, but have their children done what they should do well?

A father like Phil is very pleasing, but as Claire complained later, did he transfer the responsibility of disciplining his children to Claire and then maintain his image as a kind father?

Xiaoka, many times we are talking about respecting others, as long as we do not do anything to harm others, we should respect them, such as homosexuality, women's clothing and so on. But sometimes the point that criticizes Xiao Ka is really something that should be respected, such as Xiao Ka’s clown obsession, such as his dramatization, he seems to be that kind of aunt, likes lively, likes performance, many times it makes people feel that : Oh, shame. Xiaoka also really had a good chat with the aunts.

But Xiaoka and aunts, they are not like the "independence, boundary" and other things that are advocated today. They often affect others, but this does not mean that all parts of the character are problematic. For example, aunts like to ask questions, and they do sometimes disrespect privacy, but the aunts find problems too quickly. They feel that there is a problem with the resident and care about the safety of the little girl walking at night alone. Is our contempt for them, like when we were young, did not like the evaluation of us by adults, is it a kind of arrogance after we have mastered the right to speak?

Xiaoka also has many advantages. He has delicate and rich emotions, but he will also come forward when he needs a big man. Although I love the farm and Missouri, I spent a long time with Mickey's family with Mickey's family.

Lily, it was very pleasing at first. It may be partly due to the natural affection of the same Asian. Anyway, I myself have a natural affection for Asian faces, especially in foreign dramas. I was disliked more and more in the later period. Some people complained about acting. I didn’t feel much, because I felt that Lily’s appearance in the play was the image of a cold adolescent girl who didn’t talk much with her family, including the straightforwardness of speaking lines and acting. It feels like some friends around me in the past. Maybe it’s because I watched it for too long and I have a good filter for the actors haha.

Xiaoka and Mickey are actually quite catching horses. Think about the episode that they didn’t know many things about Lily. Think about the episode that they forgot to bring their children. They gave Lily love, but they all need it, just like the parents of Ge Sister. Parents who bother children. Many of Lily’s performances are due to reasons, such as being deliberately indifferent to them because they were neglected and retaliating. For example, sometimes showing indifference and uncooperativeness. In fact, it is because Ka and Mickey have too much brain supplement when emotions come up. So much so that Lily's mood was not considered at all. The arrangement of love that your parents imposed on you, but you don’t like it. The parents who say it upset you, or make your parents angry and unhappy, so you have to leave it alone, but because you really don’t like it, you will inevitably resist.

I found a US drama I like for many seasons and followed it down, as if opening up a parallel world, the sense of life is too strong, I really can't bear it when I say goodbye!
