last time I recommended a drama so hard was in 2010. After watching "Boston Law", I scratched my head and scratched my head, and no one could share the subtleties of it.
So I took the opportunity to Amway friends around, but few responded.
A very small number of clicks were opened, and I couldn't stand the short and fast rhythm at the beginning and the complicated narrative clues, and I clicked the cross before watching the first episode.
After a long time, I shrugged and accepted it-life is so lonely as snow! Watching an American drama, you can't find a fellow in reality.
This is the second time I have written a long article recommending "Mad man" (advertising madman). When I finished writing "A Man Is An Island" last time, "Mad Men" still had the last few episodes of the season to be aired.
I finally finished watching the last few episodes some time ago. Finally, everyone's fate has been explained. Even Peggy has an emotional affiliation.
The screenwriter actually arranged such a person early. Just wait for the end of the song to disperse, pick it up in the dimly lit place to make a pair, and it's not abrupt at all.
Can colleagues of the opposite sex who have worked together for more than ten years and can appreciate each other directly get a marriage certificate, right?
hated Don and abandoned the drama for a while. Someone stroked Don's lover from the first episode. It was a huge project. Ah is the stallion in the advertising circle!
But at the end, when he was sitting at McCann's huge circular desk, all around him were dressed up, talking and laughing as freely as him, everything was prepared by my creative directors, and the loneliness between Don's eyebrows was nowhere to hide.
Seeing this, I feel distressed again. No way, who made Ya born with a male lead halo.
After walking around Madison Avenue for decades, the things between men and women, who slept with whom, who was with whom, who broke up with whom, is probably the most irrelevant thing.
As with every hangover, it will heal automatically at dawn, and there is no need for injections and medicine. Seeing each other again, they can still tell each other tacitly, they are still partners who cooperate with each other.
McCann eventually took back the independent management rights of Sterling Cooper, and broke up all personnel into its own subordinates.
For a time, the old and the new alternated, and people turned their backs on the horse. Originally, he was determined to let him go on his own one-acre three-quarters of land. Under the eaves of others, one has to succumb to the rigid mechanical systems and processes of large institutions.
In the old days, colleagues showed their abilities and tried their best to establish a foothold in the new company. Don is still baffled by McCann's big bosses. His appearance is as bright as before, but his heart has been deserted and turned into a saline soil.
Over the past ten years, Sterling Cooper, which originally had its own place on Madison Avenue, has undergone several mergers and acquisitions, and has been able to maintain its own title several times. This time it can be regarded as completely ending here.
The founder Cooper is dead.
The feelings of Sterling, the old prodigal son, were also scattered into scum.
The pillar Don is tired of his career.
McCann's huge meeting room is full of creative directors like him. The meeting host is no longer his old partner Roger, and talks about someone else. Other creative directors explained the Case in his hand, but he was just one of many observers.
Usually, whether it’s halfway through the meeting or the end of the line, when Don wants to say something, he must first dust off the soot in his hand, take a puff, frown, and then confidently and powerfully respond to the entire advertisement from creative to creative. Carry out a conclusion of the conclusion. The customer is satisfied after hearing it, and the subordinates are very happy after hearing it.
At this moment, sitting at McCann's circular conference table, Don looked a little lonely and inaccessible. Occupational dilemma is one aspect, and life is also deeply mired.
The daughter accidentally broke him into having an affair with his neighbor's wife downstairs, and the second marriage was about to end,...
Don is definitely not the first person in "Mad Men" to try to find a way out of Eastern philosophy and religion. In the early days of Sterling Cooper, a copywriter ran to become a lama. Later, he had an encounter with his old colleague in a small bar, and he disappeared from everyone's sight since then.
Cooper, the company's founder, hangs pornographic cartoons of Japanese tentacles in his office. Even the daily habits pay tribute to the Easterners-all executives must take off their shoes when entering his office.
As the creator of trend culture and consumer culture, there is no doubt that Madison’s advertisers have a higher aesthetics than the general public. When God was unable to guide them from the lost path, they could only turn to Confucius and Lao Zhuang in China.
At the end, Don and a group of people who are lost like him escape from the world in a very remote village. Do Tai Chi and practice yoga on the edge of the cliff every day.
When a group of world-weary people sat together, looking like a mutual aid association for drug addicts, Don joined their discussion in a muddle. Among the frustrated crowd in sloppy clothes, he, an elite man from Manhattan, still looks so out of place.
Until a man named Leonard stood up and said to everyone: "I have been living in a corner and I am used to being ignored. In the office, people pass by me and never look at me. I come home, Looking at my wife and children, when I sit down, they don’t even bother to look at me..."
Hearing this, Tang raised his head to look at him, and Leonard continued: "I once had a dream, a dream When I was in the refrigerator, someone came over and closed the door of the refrigerator, and it fell into darkness. Everyone was eating on their own. Then the door opened and I saw everyone laughing, but they still didn’t look at me. Then the door closed again and the lights went out." The
others looked calm after hearing these words, but Don was crying too hard.
This dream is both a metaphor and a reality. When men provide for the lives of their families like a refrigerator, they do not know that the happiness of a real family is far away from them.
Daughter Sally broke through her adultery, and the image of her father fell through the bottom. The first wife looked tired on the phone: please don't call again.
All the relatives who have blood ties and emotional involvement are far away from him.
The Celestial Dynasty is actually the same. The role of men in the family is becoming increasingly marginalized. Fathers have been absent for a long time in the growth of their children, leaving behind a feathery relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and accusing the children of the original family when they grow up...
Just as Feng Tang said: What do the surrounding men think about It doesn’t matter if you have a good life. Those who have just been promoted as VP will be promoted to MD, and those who have just been promoted will be promoted to deputy bureau. Those who have earned a few million want to earn 100 million, and those who have earned 100 million want to sell products on the GEM. Going to the United States, with donkey blood and a big face...
Look at the one-dimensional value orientation of the men in their early twenties around me. It can be seen through at a glance, and there is less space for aftertaste, just like the changes in advertising design trends in the past ten years-increasingly flattened.
Looking at everything from "money", you and I are the wind and sand of the times. It's not that the value of "a donkey's blood and a big face" is not good, but the cuteness and respectability of "the reason why people are human" is missing.
Whether it’s "Boston Law" or "Mad Men", what touches me is only the man's feelings reflected by profession and ethics, beliefs and ideals.
It is said that it has entered the "matrilineal age of aesthetics", and the era requires men to remove the "straight male cancer" factor in the cultural genes for thousands of years and add some "temporal nutrition".
On Weibo, a girl talked about emotional men: talented, tangled middle-aged men are major natural disasters, wherever they are destroyed, wherever they go, nothing will grow.
This is indeed the case-if a man with more than forty talents is still in the world, he is still in an empty shell, and his heart is still entangled. There will be absolutely no scum left in you in a second.
There are very few men like this around me. If you happen to have one by your side, remember to tell me.
