I can't think of Ivy's lonely back, frozen smile, and lost eyes.
Her appearance overlapped with countless failed selves, and as long as any piece of sadness slipped into her mind, her eyes could not help but burst into tears.
Let's make such an assumption.
What if Ivy wasn't as good as anyone?
Whether K or I is good or bad is actually a matter of opinion. If Ivy is stronger than Karen, I will not be sad, because she will always shine, even crazy dreams come true.
But what if, I said if, what if Ivy is really not as good as Karen?
I like Ivy, always because of her hard work.
When I didn't get a call from Boss for various reasons, and wasted a great opportunity due to various negligence, I heard Ivy say to Karen: You didn't want it enough. You didn't fight hard enough. You didn't
put enough on the line. That line was my favorite line in the whole show.
"karen is beautiful, smart, slim, and has a good voice, but Ivy is right to accuse her of not investing enough. Her vanity mirror isn't covered with pictures of Monroe, and she doesn't imitate Monroe's frown and smile like Ivy is crazy. Obsession is important in a lot of things, and it is only by becoming crazy that Tsing Yi becomes famous."
This sentence was written by myself about a month ago, and now it seems that it is full of irony.
Irony what?
The irony is that effort is useless.
If Ivy isn't as talented as Karen, this is the tragedy that brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.
I wanted it enough. I put it enough on the
line. But, I failed.
If Karen's innocence lies in her innocence, then Ivy's innocence is that she really thinks hard work will pay off. For Marilyn's dream, she did everything she should and shouldn't do, but she was still eliminated, just because of some fantasies in the director's mind. Perhaps the only option is really a handful of pills.
From school to society, I really found that reading is a very happy thing, because it is under your own control. As much as you work, you can get as much. But things in the real world are completely different. Many very accidental factors may destroy and cancel all your efforts.
There are too many things that you can't get by trying your best. And you don't get it, and it doesn't prove you're not good enough.
But it's too painful to admit that one's talent can't be made up for with hard work.
I'm not too vicissitudes of life, but I'm no longer a pure student. Since a long time ago, I no longer believe in the myth of "hard work will succeed". If this show followed this routine, I would definitely give up one episode like Glee. The reason to see the present is to love its reality and its complexity.
Some people say that Ivy's failure is that she is not confident and has a bad attitude.
I think K's mentality is good because she is a newcomer, she has nothing to lose, she is the sun at 9 o'clock, everything will only get better and better, even without Marilyn, she already has many chances of success; while I is in the circle The chorus has been stripped of its brilliance for many years, and this role is her only hope. Are their psychological qualities or mentality comparable?
It's not that Ivy has a bad mentality, it's that she can't afford to lose after fighting for many years.
After all, self-confidence is a luxury for newcomers.
K is only Norma Jean now, and Ivy has the maturity, innocence and sensitivity of Monroe's heart.
In the second season, I want to see you who prove that you are the musical queen!
