Three years, it should have been three years ago, I graduated from college and started working as an editor for an English-language magazine. My life was quiet and indifferent
. It should be that time when Mad Men started broadcasting. At that time, it hadn't won the Golden Globe Award or the Emmy Award, and its stars had not yet acted in the movie
HBO and didn't like the script, so the producer had to switch to AMC. As a result, from the producer to the cast,
it is undoubtedly my favorite American drama so far. It was the United States

in the 1950s and 1960s. Kennedy was assassinated, the Jews had not yet become a climate, and the Vietnam War, which was about to drag the United States into a quagmire, began. The black civil rights movement is still going on, homosexuality is far from being accepted by the masses as it is today, and women can only do insignificant jobs. There's no doubt that the idea of ​​civil rights was in its infancy, and hippies were starting to make their voices heard

. The protagonists in Mad Men weren't hippe, they weren't beatnik. The men inside wore tweed fedora, three-piece suits with thin ties and well-made cufflinks; women of the time liked the curvy body shape, they wore tailored dresses, silk blouse with pleated skirt or pencil skirt. No matter what color and style, it will never be shorter than the knee. All kinds of blouse are my favorites, silk, chiffon, printed, polka dots, knotted with ties, and folded necklines.
Fashion is repeated again and again, mom When I was young, I also had several such blouses, white and light cyan, with dark purple pencil skirts that were longer than the knees, and white or pink high heels on the feet. It was a beautiful picture. Now, it is my turn to like this type of clothing so much. The

fourth season, the lines are getting better and better, and the picture is like an old movie, full of nostalgia. It is like a picture scroll of the customs of the times, showing all kinds of changes, trends of thought, and people of all kinds in the big era. The actor in the play, don draper, is no different from a handsome, talented, and ambitious businessman in New York City. He has a beautiful wife and lovely children at home. Fall clean. Don struggled too much inside, and his sense of security was broken. Most talented people are lonely at heart, don't be like that


He looks a lot like the don draper in the play. Many times I stared at him, trying to see through his heart. I asked some inexplicable questions and said some vague things. I overestimated that
Bethany was one of the many women around Don after the divorce. In Season 4, Episode 8, Bethany and Don are supposed to be dating for the fourth time.
Bethany says, Everydate feels like a first date with you.
Don says, Is that good or bad?
Bethany says, It's just i know you must be seeing someone else. and don't say no, because it'll just hurt me more.
Don said, Look, I'm here with you right now. We are on a date. And i thought we were getting to know each other.
Bethany Say, It doesn't just accumulate. It takes intense, prolonged contact. Don't you want to be close with anyone?
Don says, I do.
Bethany says, I get excited when you call. and then I don't hear from you. We don't have to get married, or for me to show you off at the country club.

When I saw this episode yesterday, my heart was torn apart. I said the same thing to him and asked the same question. Television and reality are surprisingly similar. Don't say anything to bethany until the date is over, this silly girl still fantasizes that one day the prodigal son will stay
by her side Don's narration says, This girl wants me to know her. But I already know her.
Actually, it's that simple

Mad Men quotes

  • Pete Campbell: A thing like that!

  • Don Draper: Advertising is based on one thing: happiness. You know what happiness is? Happiness is smell of a new car. It's freedom from fear. It's a billboard on the side of the road that screams with reassurance that whatever you're doing, its okay. You are okay.
