There are too many details and scenes worth looking into in this drama, and too many meaningful expressions and dialogues. In the second episode, Kelvin told Olive that he chose to commit suicide in his woods because he didn't want to affect others. Olive answered "It was never clean", and in the end, a group of children said "You can stay lady, but don't litter." Olive's suicide. During the wedding, olive told waiter that the garbage outside needs to be cleaned up so as not to be blown into the bay by the wind. When going out, he told the nurse at the nursing home that the water of chrysanthemum needs to be changed every day. When she calls, put the receiver to Henry's ear to make sure he can hear her. , but no one took her words seriously, Nobody give a damn. Even her own son never really listened to what she had to say, he was only immersed in his childhood hurts, he was immersed in complaining about his mother, forgetting that he was sick as a child At that time, his mother put medicine on his chest and sang to soothe him, forgetting that his mother told him I'm not going anywhere. When he grew up, he left his widowed mother alone in the hometown of miles away, and did not beat him for 6 months telephone.
In the last episode, Olive went to visit Jack, Jack looked out the window at the sea and said: I haven't spoken with my daughter in two years. Can you imagine that? Reminds me of Charlie telling Jim to Jim after the NSA source in The Newsroom committed suicide Say: Young man, it's not difficult to call your parents more often.
It's very uncomfortable.
Of course, this drama is not just about the irreconcilable contradictions between parents and children and the ubiquitous and sharp loneliness. It is full of disputes and resistance between the individual and the outside world, to self-deceiving tolerance, puzzlement, rejection, and then reconciliation. , "It baffles me, but I don't want to leave it yet." I can feel every struggle and every sentiment of everyone in this small town, but I can't help but see myself in the end With my parents, imagine if I live far away from my parents in the future, and when they get old, will they pretend that everything goes well when they answer the phone, and listen carefully to my tone, so as not to say anything "excessive", Requirements I don't want to complete? I think I've hurt them many times, knowingly or not, by leaving home for college and leaving them to live alone.
In the past, they were hellions who couldn't understand their "external world" with the world of baffles them, and were just as selfish as Chirstopher and only willing to take care of their own feelings, but now they are reluctant to give up.
Great show, thanks.
