1. I found that I couldn't make myself be vigilant and cautious about this show, and finally admitted that I liked it very much because of the large number of "overlapping" plots in the show - I really like this set: the current self and the past self Overlap, the future self overlaps with the past father, the ridiculous people who tend to be inflamed in each era overlap, there is always a woman at the party who leaves angrily... This overlap wants to tell us something so simple: only with Reconciliation of the past self can be calm. Like at the end of [Miss Bird], Miss Bird called her mother and said to the effect, that bridge you went to when you were young, I went, it was really beautiful. At this time, the camera cuts from the girl's face to the face of the mother driving in the old days. The melodious feeling is really great.
Having said that, one of the coolest overlaps in this show for me is the overlap between Briget and Patrick's mother. They both succumbed to the same kind of man, but Briget was very young and didn't have children at that time, and he still had a chance to make a phone call and pack his bags. Ready to get out. The scene where she greeted Parm in the car with the suitcase was really cool. Later, she became a woman like Parma. She chose to forbear for her children when she saw through a man's derailment. Fortunately, she left before she went crazy, and before leaving, she dazzled the princess' face - and took it away. The child sitting alone on the stairs. So the director ended up being very, very kind and gave her a beautiful "escape" shot. I guess the joy of walking away comes from the fact that she has a relatively healthy upbringing environment, and it has something to do with her hippie style when she was young...
2. The above is very obvious, there is an overlap that is only seen after the second brush: Why is Patrick interrupted by others every time he wants to tell the truth?
Episode 1, Patrick in a restaurant with Marianne, Marianne: If you could say a word to him, what would it be? P: I'll say...I'll tell him...no one can treat anyone like that. At this time, the waiter came to collect the plate, Pa: Ha, I may be a little serious. Marianne: Sorry, what did you just say?
In the third episode, Patrick is finally about to tell his friends the truth, only to be interrupted three times by the waiter.
These may originate from the second episode, when Patrick had several opportunities to pour out the truth to others as a child, but was interrupted by some external force, or external reason: pouring the truth to the bastard godfather, the godfather in a kind of Looking at him suspiciously, presumably thinking that this person is untrustworthy, so he gave up (the clock chimes in the background, full of suffering); confided the truth to his delirious mother, but he hesitated, crushed the cup and attempted suicide ; Sitting on the stairs, being invited by the aunt next door to tell the truth, he refused her, and was then promised that his mother would come out to accompany him - that was probably the closest Patrick was to telling the truth. But the camera lets us see Papa through the crack of the door, and lets us see that he is also observing the scene outside the house. In the end, the bastard dad played a few tricks to distract everyone in the room - but that didn't include the child's mother, who was terribly obedient as she grabbed the table and looked down the hallway and finally obeyed. .
Speaking of which, I didn't know what I was thinking when I watched it for the first time, but I didn't even see that Pamu had been taking drugs. I always feel that Jennifer Lee's acting is a bit strange, but there is a certain convincing feeling in the strangeness. Damn, she has been nervous, scared, world-weary, nostalgic, loves her son and feels that her son is a burden. Acted so well.
3. Speaking of the table scene, I thought that Briget's dress that was satirized as "like a medieval witch" was a bit strange. Later, I thought that she was trying to molest Patrick's father. His father advocates the 18th century, and his pajamas are gorgeous and retro. When the two met for dinner, their eyes were kind, one praised each other's skirts, and the other praised each other's retro leather shoes.
4. Patrick's father played a small trick to sit with Briget: he shook the "book" that the lady next door gave him, and said, ah, you must tell me about this book, and then use it. In a tone of resistance, he said, Briget, sit with me.
