Let's talk about this movie. Two years ago, when people asked me what was wrong with American dramas, I might have denounced the American model values. And while there are plenty of Native American films like American Beauty that have ruined this, mainstream American culture continues to repeat their so-called orthodoxy day in and day out. What is orthodoxy? In fact, it is a positive and sunny philosophy of success. There is nothing to say about this idea in itself, think about which dark corner of the world does not need inspirational chicken soup to help. But in reality, this middle-class dream of getting all people in society to work in one direction and finally reach a very full life has many side effects. For example, "perfection" is the most important thing in the pursuit of quick success, but this kind of perfection with a unified definition is not what every individual really wants. In other words, in order to achieve the requirements of this mainstream value, many people will sacrifice their own happiness. If you pay attention, you will find that the insertion of these values ​​remains in many movies and TV shows. Although the stories are conventional, they are more acceptable to the public. Why not do it?

But in any case, society has indeed been reflecting on the past. For the United States, the rebellious film and novel music entered a golden age after the war and became a more mainstream marginal culture. TV shows are geared towards the general public, which is not as slow as the UK.

An important reason why this film is so good is the breakthrough of the "perfect" life in the United States in the past. The screenwriter is really attentive. Usually this kind of breakthrough is the next generation, such as writing the son of the family as gay, the son comes to conflict with his parents on these issues, and the son can not be the core of the story, but exists as a supporting role, that is, a marginal existence. This style of painting covers almost all of it, and even the queer as folk, which is dedicated to gay TV dramas, is not exempt. Although it is centered on homosexuality, the male protagonist in it is very similar to the straight male character. Appearing in a gay drama with such an incomparable man and incomparable masculinity is nothing more than a desire to cater to mainstream values ​​and receive more people's acceptance. But transparent is really incomparable in this respect. The most controversial and unacceptable role of the screenwriter is to put his father on the body, and let him become her, not as a middle-aged and elderly woman who likes men but defines her gender as a woman The man is the protagonist. In this way, LGBT are no longer sons and daughters who rebel against their parents, but their own fathers. That's what the writers want to tell the American people, it's not the current culture that makes your kids different from everyone else. They pierced this layer of window paper, which must have been unacceptable to many people, but I felt really happy and very sad.

The second factor that stands out is the four characters "neither humble nor arrogant". This point is actually super cool! There is too much hysteria. Regarding the subject of marginalized people, it is simply over-consumption. Passionate for the sake of love, and it is specially shot for the rotten girls who are not too bad. However, in this one, although the owner of the whirlpool center has to become a woman in his own way, he is the calmest, wisest, and most unpretentious person in the whole play, possessing the most complete human emotions. Once you get to this point, if you go to pity others with curiosity, you are short-sighted.

Since it is a family drama, we have to talk about other characters, namely the three children of the male (female) protagonist.

Big sister, be strong, be outstanding, and have been smooth sailing, until you encounter a mid-life crisis. The mid-life crisis here is age-related. She has lost the feeling between her husband and her working children. She is exhausted. As for whether she is Les or not, she seems to be drifting between two sexual orientations. For me, what she needs more is a change in her state, rather than being serious about her relationship. Because of this love affair, she knew best that her father was the first to accept it. I don't appreciate her approach to her ex-husband and her current one, but I agree with her for maintaining family affection.

The second brother has no sense of existence since he was a child. He was in adolescence when his parents were in conflict. He did not have the maturity of the elder sister and the intelligence of the younger sister. He actually suffered the most damage in childhood. After watching this, there may be many people who don't like him very much. He doesn't deal with his ex-girlfriend and his girlfriend in the back. On the surface, it seems that it is very reliable to want a family, but in fact, it is selfish to ignore the other party's feelings. But I am full of sympathy for this love addict. The lack of love in childhood caused him to be like this. In fact, deep down in his heart, he is still the adolescent boy who can't place himself without anyone's care. He is sensitive and has low self-esteem. His attitude towards his father is very unacceptable. Apart from the established reason that he is a straight man, on the other hand, it is probably that his father has changed too much and will abandon him. Alas, I feel bad for this "scumbag".

Finally, let's talk about the third daughter. I think all, young people, all, can understand. Young people don't want to set a formula for their life. It would be terrifying if people could see what they were like when they were 50 when they were 20, and she was so smart that she was valued by her father since she was a child. In the dark, she felt that she would definitely not have an ordinary life, so she kept changing her hobbies and trying to live with different people. She may be too distressed and feel that no one can understand, so she has such a big dispute with her father. As for her father's determination to be a woman, she was in a trance for a while and there was no turbulence, because she and her father had other points of contention.



Face yourself, have a sense of responsibility, and decide what to choose and what to abandon.

ok, let's go and see.
