Yesterday, I finished this HBO's "White Lotus Resort" in one go, everyone can watch the video. The following contains spoilers:
The story of three families and the resort attendant, the screenwriter is quite good, the male protagonist of the first family is a typical high-end rich white mama Baonan, and the female protagonist is an ordinary white woman who has achieved class crossing through marriage. During the honeymoon in the resort Gradually, I found that my marriage was more like a business, selling my body and soul, and became a symbol of the rich class. Her husband and mother-in-law didn't care about her life plan at all. The conversation revealed that she had a good meal ticket and stood at her post. However, after a series of inner struggles, they chose to continue to be a beautiful vase. It seems to me that it's just words. White Ma Baonan is simply not a big bad guy, but in this class that has already accumulated wealth, he didn't even notice when he objectified women, and even thought it was a true love.
The second family is more complicated: a middle-aged man who initially suspected that he had testicular cancer and later found out that he didn’t have it, but unexpectedly learned that his father was gay, and a man with work obsessive-compulsive disorder who stood in the so-called “killing Quartet” in the male world. Middle-aged women, strong women and weak men, men have no right to speak at home, son and daughter do not particularly care about her, the son is a 16-year-old boy who is addicted to games, introverted without friends, lacks the attention of his parents, bullied by his sister all the year round, weak, But in the end, he defected from his family, which also symbolized his defecting from the white world and fleeing to a more free and equal world. It is the only light of hope for the entire TV series. In my opinion, my daughter is a white young girl with no brains, jealousy and no standpoint. She rebelled for the sake of rebellion, complained about Hillary, read books about colonization, seemed to break with the traditional white family, and was accused by her mother He doesn't care about his family but cares about the poor he can't see, Hypocrisy Swing hates his parents but eventually becomes the same person as his parents, and is a defender of the white world. The best friend she brought was a half-breed, with naive ideas and some innate skin color anxiety, white people taking everything from the native Hawaiians was a kind of stealing in her eyes, so she wanted to use real stealing Complete revenge, very naive, the cognition of the world is in simple black and white right and wrong.
The third is not a family. It is the urn of a wealthy white single middle-aged woman and her mother. I don’t know how rich they are. Anyway, they are very rich, but they are on the verge of emotional collapse. Being tortured by my mother and not being cared for, so I repeated my mother's mistakes and used money to establish a relationship with the world and a man. Although I long to be truly loved, I always enjoy the convenience brought by money. In the distrust and anxiety about the relationship built because of money, the best black masseuse for her once put her at ease, so he opened his mouth and said that he would invest in her, but in the end it confirmed the first conversation: rich white people are nothing more than It's just using you. It's a kind of resource manipulation. When she finally realized that she couldn't use money to build a relationship and didn't plan to invest, I thought it was a super ironic scene. It completely cooled a person's enthusiasm, and the black masseuse returned to disappointment. Go with indifference. The most terrifying thing in this world is not that I realize that I am going to hurt people and hurt people, but that in the invisible class opposition, the harm occurs, but I don't know it at all. Instead, I feel that it is my own act of charity.
The last hotel manager, a gay who quit drinking, anti-drugs, and sober, someone who can exercise this power with a little power in his hand, others oppress him, he oppresses weaker people, he makes mistakes in his work but prevaricates with a mentality of hating the rich, Hypocritical, weak and pitiful, I thought the last outbreak was a massacre, but I didn't expect it to be embarrassingly counter-killed. It's one of the characters in the show that I really dislike.
In short, when I watch this show, my head is buzzing, and then all kinds of satirical insights are intertwined. Maybe in this American drama, we can see some of the current state of American society, with various themes of class, race, and equal rights mixed. , but leaves the viewers a huge space for thinking.
