While there are still many people around us "talking about sex change", some people across the ocean have already played "sex comedy" and have contributed excellent dramas with stories, performances, music, and opinions. , It is " Sex Education " (also known as "Sex Education") produced by Netflix .
The play is starring Asa Butterfield (child stars without long-term disabilities are treasures). On the surface, it is full of gimmicks under the banner of "campus + youth + sex". In fact, "Sex Education" has done the same. Name, a good lesson for everyone.
Don't think that you are an "old driver" and you don't need to learn. Sex education is a lifetime thing. [Multi-picture and long text warning! 】
Three views are right, responsible
The show puts the stage in a seemingly ordinary but weird high school, where LGBT groups gather, all kinds of weird sexual behaviors, sexual habits, and people with sexual disabilities are everywhere, and the adolescent hormone excess is permeated everywhere.
But don't think that this is just a work that sells meat in the name of "sex education". Its intention and attitude are very correct .
The protagonist Otis’s mother Jane is a "sex and emotional therapist". Otis has also learned a wealth of theoretical knowledge under the influence of the protagonist all the year round. By chance, he opened a "clinic on campus with the protagonist Maeve". Later, he inquired about the most basic principles of this job from Jane:
"Sex + emotion" therapists need to be cautious in their words and actions, because you may cause other people's psychological problems for decades if you say the wrong thing. You must have a sense of responsibility . In the process of diagnosis and treatment, the focus is not on yourself, but on others .
With such a solemn and rigorous attitude, no matter how "frivolous" sexual descriptions are made, they will not appear salty and wet.
In the show "Life Pains" aspects, "sex education" showed restraint and reason enough , for example, Maeve went to this movie abortion.
There is no doubt that these women who secretly come to have their own babies have their own pain and bitterness, but the series did not crudely try to accuse and sell miserables, but through a "coming man" pretending to be strong and optimistic, quietly. It shows the pain, tenacity and difficulty of women, without a "stand" but as stable as a rock.
As for the confusion and choices on the path of growth, "Sex Education" has also set a good example. Ruby is a nasty "bad girl". After her vaginal selfies were sent out by the group and threatened, Maeve decided to help her solve the trouble...
It's not that Maeve doesn't hate Ruby, but that she doesn't want to appear another girl who is maliciously slandered by rumors-because she is the victim of such rumors.
The "culprit" is Ruby's best friend Olivia. Her original intention was to teach her friends who were bitter and mean to her all day long, but she didn't really want to discredit Ruby.
This kind of "plastic sister flower" type of complex feelings can be said to be very real. One is rude, and the other crosses the thunder pond, but no one can end up well.
But the episode ended with a heartwarming ending: Olivia, who knew he had done something wrong, stood up to the principal and "candid" to everyone that it was her vagina, even if Ruby didn't intend to forgive herself. She should apologize and make amends... Olivia's courage infected more people, and finally came to the end of her suspicion.
It’s not terrible for young people to do wrong things—in fact, young people have been doing all sorts of “lower three-way” stupid things—the key lies in whether we have the courage to face the mistakes, correct the wrong attitudes, and shoulder the wrong responsibilities.
Variety of "sexual/emotional" disorders
"Sex Education" can be called the Grand View Garden of "gender issues" . Some people are afraid of touching chrysanthemums, some are vomiting when there is a BJ, some are addicted to sex , and they associate with the Queen of England during orgasm... The play is made invisibly A very realistic conclusion: In fact, more sexual/physical problems stem from emotional/psychological problems.
Sam and Kate are in a good relationship, but they quarrel constantly over the small conflict between turning on the light or turning off the light when making love.
The keen Otis quickly discovered the problem: they were all restricted to their own "channel", unable to hear each other's voice, and then evolved into doubting each other and themselves.
So Odys asked Sam and Kate to quietly listen to each other back to back, and each talked about their five advantages, and the channels that had been unavailable were successfully connected.
"If you don't like yourself, how can you expect the other person to like you?"
The relationship between Charlie and Anjana, who advised people not to have an abortion, was a bit stale. Anjana was always dissatisfied with Charlie, and kept scribbling and provoking...Later she couldn't help telling Otis the reason why she was so mean: Charlie had a rich sexual experience before devoting himself to teaching, but he was still a complete body (although other tricks have been played), which made her unacceptable.
I hope that both of them can break the ground on their wedding night, and be nostalgic about the past of the other half... Doesn't it sound familiar?
This kind of resentment is neither small nor big, and since you have decided to accept him as the other half, you should try to accept his past in the same way, and don't be unwilling to control your emotions.
"If you can't have a tolerant heart to him, why bother to go on?"
Lucy and Tan Ya are close friends who grew up together, and they came out at the same time. Their sex experience was very bad. Otis tried to start with the relationship between the two, but Lucy insisted that "our problem is just Making love, not feelings."
After going back and forth, Lucy still couldn’t hide her true feelings: I thought she could come out with her best friend. She looked happy, and I didn’t want her to be sad... Our relationship was so perfect that I couldn’t bear to break it, but It just feels wrong to make love together , and it's normal with others...
Feelings are reluctant to come, and this is the case.
"You can't choose who you like, and you can't plan a relationship. You can only do what you think is right."
Amy is a typical "service-type personality" , and everything is left to others to behave, do things, and make love. She never felt that there was anything wrong with this, until she and Steve, who "hoped that women could also enjoy pleasure" walked up to her. Together-Steve wants to know what I like, but where do I know?
Facing Amy, who has long been accustomed to "false" and "giving", Otis's suggestion is to try to masturbate and find his desires in this way ...
Thus, Amy opened the door to a new world after getting better!
There is nothing wrong with being helpful and caring for others, but it does not mean unprincipled and bottom-line disguise and dedication. After Amy's resuscitation, her life has become more dignified and unrestrained.
Amy has been mingling with Anwar, Ruby, and Olivia who are taking advantage of her, but she is afraid to publicly admit her friendship with Maeve. After she understands "what I want", she decisively dumps Ruby and so on. Man, Honest and Maeve stood together.
Look, not only the problem of "sex harmony" has been solved, even the shortcomings of life have been filled a lot.
Liam’s emotional distress will probably make many people feel deeply: He keeps wooing the admired Liz, and he keeps getting rejected. After repeated defeats, he doesn’t give up. He always feels that he still has hope. Repeated defeats continue to the end.
In the face of this kind of dead brain, Otis is nowhere to be seen... When Liam failed in his public courtship attempt to "jump off the building", Otis used his own experience to tell the truth that everyone understands but the authorities are always fascinated:
Sometimes the people we like don’t like us. It’s painful, but we can’t do anything. You can’t force others to like you. Love is not a big scene, not the moon and the stars, but accidental luck . Sometimes you will meet one and like you. Your person, and sometimes you are unlucky... But one day, someone who likes you will appear.
Well, stop licking the dog with no principles and unclear principles. First, ask if "I didn't touch others, I only touched myself".
The deepest line in "Sex Education" is Adam's growing troubles-the beginning of the scene is the embarrassing scene where he absent-mindedly had sex with Amy, but he couldn't shoot it out.
Adam is a "celebrity" on campus. He is not only the son of the principal, but also a huge penis that is widely spread... As a result, he can't work, and the joke is big.
At the same time, Adam also likes to bully Otis’s friend Eric , because Eric is the only gay guy on campus who has a public sexual orientation, and he is the one who is relatively filed ... It seems that the reason is very good.
In the first episode, we are with sexual dysfunction is due to Adam's smoked too much marijuana, as well as the psychological pressure caused by too heavy.
Then when Otis "treated", he also went for the "heart disease"-Adam ate three great pills and couldn't keep it soft, which completely detonated the burden on him. Otis just persuaded him to decompress, and the effect came out immediately. NS.
However, Adam then showed his shadow in public and strode too far... and Otis couldn't imagine how much pressure on Adam was.
Grove is a stern principal, and even a stern father. Adam didn't experience any care and paternal love beside him, only endless harshness. This negative emotion finally broke out on the night of the ball, and Adam yelled in front of everyone. "I hate you!"
So, Adam and Eric can't make it through. In addition to being gay, are they envy and jealous that each other has a good father-son relationship?
It wasn't until Adam "bullying" Eric again and the two suddenly had a relationship that everything became clear.
Although the phrase "homophobia is deep cabinet" is biased, it is suitable for Adam. He not only envied Eric's frankness and bravery, but also admired him more secretly. The way to truly "liberate" Adam is to face it. My own sexual orientation, I found a handful of tenderness and caressing.
The one who impressed me the most was the "weird" girl Lily who desperately wanted to make a break .
Lily often fantasizes about "tentacles" sex, and she wants to have a relationship with boys when she catches the opportunity. Maybe it's because her purposeful relationship is too strong. Lily can't get what she wants, and she also contributes a lot of jokes.
It's hard to find a sexual partner who is willing to have sex with her, and when the "door" is automatically closed when "the door is kicked", what's the matter?
Ou Disi think Li Li in their own fantasy too eager to control everything, in order to keep her "control" and subconsciously to interrupt the process , impatient, utilitarian attitude had become a stumbling block - the jargon, this is Lily More typical vaginismus .
In order to solve Lily's "fear of letting go" problem, Otis took her to ride a bike and ride the slope to experience the taste of losing control.
Wonders whether this practice is not known, this opportunity may Lily by her deepest anxiety that came out: I so desperately desire sex, stems from fear of others behind , I'm afraid I did in high school before graduation There will be shortcomings in the broken place, and will lag behind everyone in the future. There will be no chance again until the old age is lonely.
This kind of mentality of "being afraid of falling behind others and eager to find opportunities to break through", let alone high school students, many adults may not be able to correct their mentality ... So the following words of Otis really have a certain educational significance.
"Some people do, but most people don't (and some people don't). Sex is not a game."
Many people think they understand the mystery and truth of gender issues, but after reading "Sex Education", some people will find that they may not understand that.
Adults also have to receive re-education
Although "Sex Education" focuses on the psychological and physiological problems of young people, it does not mean that adults can be called teachers. In fact, like young people, they also have various obstacles and problems.
As the "master-level" sexologist in the play, Jane should be a full-level hero, right? But her "courtship phobia" is more serious than ordinary people.
It's easy to find a wild man to come back and fight, but when she really meets Jacob who has a good impression of each other, she shrinks in panic, opens her eyes and talks nonsense, like a professional.
At the same time, Jane always interferes and controls her son in the name of "maternal love". She knows that this is not good, but she can't control herself ... This contradiction, she found her mother secretly using him in Otis The material for the new book reached its peak, and it was possible for Otis to sever the relationship between her mother and her child if it was not handled properly.
Why did Jane, who helped people solve all kinds of "family difficulties", have fallen so far? Obviously, this has nothing to do with the academic experience of the person involved. There is no shortcut to maintaining feelings. Everyone can only start from the little things around them.
Afterwards, Jane ran to Odis to apologize and confessed her fault, "You are my blind spot".
Like countless mothers, Jane has also committed the problem of being a fan of the authorities . She always feels that she is about to lose her son. She can't help but want to catch him. She doesn't know that doing so often hurts the child...
However, the master of sexology is a master of sexology. After she wants to understand the truth, she also returns to "normal" faster than ordinary people-she bid farewell to her son on the front foot, and went to Jacob to show her thoughts on the back foot.
Don't think that adults are always right. They make mistakes and need to be cleaned up just as much as children....
In addition, the story between Eric and his son also impressed me a lot. Although the father could not fully support his son's choice, he used his own bottom line to encourage Eric to be courageous ... In the end, Eric did it.
But out of the parents' mentality of gains and losses, his father was uneasy, until he yelled at the person who urged him to move the car—the long-time cautious looking forward and backward, in front of the momentary joy of true feelings, was so insignificant.
Eric learned caring and benevolence from his father, and his father also (again) realized the value of bravery and magnanimity from his son.
"Sex" is a very broad subject, it not only involves a few people, it will eventually involve several generations.
Self-medicine
The young and mature Otis is an "old driver" at first glance, but he can't even masturbate-this is the most interesting part of the setting of "Sex Education", a man who helps others solve sexual dysfunction all day long. Lord, is the person who has the biggest problem in this show.
Odys witnessed his father's derailment in his childhood. In order to enlighten his son, his mother took him on the road with solid knowledge of sex.
"Sex will bring joy, but if you are not careful, sex will also ruin your life." Parents' unique "education method" has brought a lingering psychological shadow to Otis.
In the first season, there were three frontal descriptions of Odys flying a plane. With these three scenes as the node, we have witnessed his changes and growth.
Otis’s psychological shadow prevented him from being able to act normally like other peers. In order to conceal this, he could only pretend to be “live” ... But this could not hide his mother’s glaring eyes, and it further triggered her analysis and research. Son's interest.
After Odys enlightened Adam, he tried to break through this barrier, but failed.
This attempt was not without gain- before that, Odis was ashamed to talk about his sexual dysfunction, but now he dared to speak out about his difficulties.
"I really can't masturbate, but I don't want you to participate in this matter either."
At the end of the first episode, Otis had the courage to face the problem.
Maeve is probably the first person of the same age and opposite sex that Otis has had close communication with. As the relationship deepens, Otis naturally has sexual fantasies about her. Along with a spring dream and a spermatorrhea, Otis’s whole person " Spartan"!
The side effects of the extraordinary family education are also reflected at this moment: Otis has a strong sense of guilt about this, thinking that he has "objectified" women in his subconscious mind, which is not good... Too much theoretical knowledge makes Otis instead. Forget that this is a normal physiological phenomenon.
Physical reactions are not completely controlled by the brain . When Maeve pushed Otis into the water and brushed the drops of water on his eyebrows, Otis hardened uncontrollably.
Our lovely Odys is still a little virgin, who can withstand the attractiveness of the opposite sex, Maeve, who can't be soft for half an hour... There is only one way.
Then there will be the second time Otis stuns, but unfortunately it still fell short.
This time, he is better than the last time, but at a critical stage, there are still huge barriers blocking him.
In fact, Otis had the opportunity to get closer with Maeve. After the two broke the "vaginal photo" case, Otis, who was smart and gentle, had already made Maeve's heart sway, but when they were about to kiss, Odys Diss flinched.
He is afraid of many things , he has no experience, Maeve is too experienced, what to do if he can’t do it well, what to do if Maeve dislikes himself, etc.... Too much pursuit of normality or perfection will only become abnormal. Let alone perfection , we naturally know what the consequences of Odys' confession will cause.
There was an invisible net in front of him blocking him, Otis did not expect to untie it, but once again accelerated the sprint, trying to break through it with brute force -so there was a scene where he had the courage to break through.
The more you are afraid of something, the more you need something, and vice versa. The mother’s "pervasiveness" and "pervasiveness" are Otis' biggest nightmare. When Otis was frightened by the touch of the opposite sex, she could only subconsciously call her mother to soothe herself...
The trouble should end it. When Jane sincerely apologized to Otis, Otis suddenly let go. He no longer concealed his problems, and frankly admitted that he had sexual depression, sexual disorders, and even stunted growth-openly admitting that he was abnormal. It's not that difficult.
"You're only 16 years old, you shouldn't know the answer to everything." Most people have sexual dysfunction because of ignorance, while Odys is because he knows too much and is controlled too much. When he is under great pressure When the inside is released, the net in front of it will naturally fall off.
Otis, who "played lightly", quickly got through the two lines of Ren and Du, stole the trophy "Return to the Original Owner" belonging to Maeve, and made a special trip to apologize to Oula. As a result, both girls returned...
Originally, the guy was handsome, smart and gentle, and the girl's problem of getting rid of anger was more on his own body. Now that the sources of tweaking, cramping, and unconfidence have been suppressed, he is naturally still a likable boy.
Odys kissed Euler smoothly, and he was still the tongue-moving kind... Good fellow, here's the opportunity again!
The next is the end of the eighth episode, and it's also the third time Odis hits a plane- him! end! At! one! send! Rise! sky! NS!
I've never been so happy and moved because a boy succeeded in smashing the tube, it's not easy~
But then again, the first season still left a lot of pitfalls: Can the sexual experience after Odys go as smoothly as masturbation? Will there be a love triangle between him and Maeve and Euler? What about depressed Jackson? Will Eric and Adam’s love affair end without a problem? These questions will be answered in the future. See you in the second season of "Sex Education".
