Of course, our situation is not terrible compared to the horse boy BoJack. I always like to pursue spiritual victory. When a basketball-sized trouble is compared with a basketball court-sized trouble, the former is cured immediately. There are big bosses with boundless powers on the periphery of this cute little idiot of the earth. Those things about BoJack are enough to laugh at several adults, and those things about yourself make even yourself funny. No more.
Well, let's meet BoJack, the best horseman in the world. A Hollywood star who lives in a big villa in Beverly Hills. He has nothing to do because of the downturn in his career. His only friend is the waste wood on his sofa. The longest interpersonal relationship is with his agent. Man and girlfriend. And these two people are the only people in the world who can tolerate BoJack. Apart from that, PoJack can hardly get along with anyone. It wasn't until the appearance of Diane, BoJack's biographical ghostwriter, that the world finally knew BoJack, but Diane married BoJack's rival Peanut Butter.
However, this is not a romantic drama, and Diane's appearance is not to rescue BoJack. One person's problem is always solved by one person. This is a comedy, there is a saying: comedy = tragedy + time. BoJack is 50 years old, and he has reached the age of a ghost standing at the door. Lying on the bed, looking anywhere, there is a ghost watching you. At this time, different people will behave differently. Some people are afraid of ghosts and try to avoid them. And the other kind of people doesn't matter, is the ghost at the door part of life?
BoJack belongs to the first category of people, and most of us are of this kind. This is also the subject of this show, how this ghost appeared, and how we should respond. In the last episode of the first season, Diane and BoJack had a conversation on the roof: You either know what you want, but you can't get it; or you get it, but you don't know what you want anymore. Life is like that, right. I think this passage is the best commentary on the show and the ultimate question for all of us.
When we were young, none of us knew what we wanted to be. BoJack's acting career is obviously his mother's wishes. He deliberately wants to please his parents by fulfilling his mother's wish, hoping to get their approval. But obviously, this was not a happy decision. The relationship between BoJack and his parents did not improve, and he eventually became a self-contradictory and low-value person. He desires to establish intimacy, but he is alienated from those close to him. The agent and girlfriend who is loyal and persistent to him, he repeatedly hurts but has no courage to leave completely. In order to keep his unused roommate, he designed to ruin his future, just to have someone to accompany in the empty house. He wanted to get rid of the old shadows of the past, but was enveloped by a deeper shadow. He wanted to escape the ghost in that house, but he was drawn into a prison by himself. BoJack is a fragmented character, and it is difficult to get real happiness before he pieced himself together.
And Diane, who was not taken seriously in her childhood, has a more sinister family atmosphere than BoJack. You know, Diane’s father died and was thrown on the sofa by her mother and several brothers like puppets. Then he tied an ice pack intimately, and finally he was thoughtfully twisted into several pieces of meat sauce and stuffed into the tar bucket. . . . . . I knelt on the screenwriter's brain. In such a family, Di An should have been crushed into dust. She can grow up to be a well-known Ziwei girl by the Daming Lake. It can only be said that she has a strong desire and ability to repair herself, and she is very likely to know Teacher Wu Zhihong.
The same two people who were unhappy in childhood. BoJack obviously fits well with Diane, but Diane didn't choose BoJack, a fragmented person who needs not another fragment, but a person with a better personality to tolerate and repair it. From this point of view, Diane is a more sober person than BoJack. She is with peanut butter, which is also the possibility of getting rid of the shadow of childhood and gaining stability and happiness. Of course, Diane occasionally swayed peanut butter, but after each sway, this relationship brought Diane a more stable and solid feeling. And if they are with BoJack, the two will go to the opposite side of stability. Both of them are too broken, and it is difficult to give each other enough energy in their daily state. It's not that I don't want to give it, but I don't have this ability. In the several conversations between Diane and BoJack, both sides opened their hearts. But we can still feel that he and she are still so confused. One side asks questions, one side tries to comfort, but the comforting side has no confidence in his own comfort. What makes you confused also makes me confused. So, it may be like this, it may not be like this, who can answer the proposition of life well. It's like asking Diane on the roof, "Am I a good person," Diane replied, what kind of people we are, we will do what kind of things, so it is better to be friends and stay with him. It's just right at this level.
However, for a drama with self-destructive and self-destructive tendencies, the screenwriter will definitely not want to show who is living happily with whom, I also don’t believe that BoJack will be reborn, because ""You can run in the world." The fastest horse racing, but you can never run the truth.” Will the ghosts in front of Pojek’s bed go away? It needs to be proved. But no matter what, remember to take out the stick and beat the ghosts to let him know that at least you haven’t. Be swallowed by him.
Finally, don’t forget this Bojic-style summary of life:
"You know, for many people,
life is just a kick to your urethra,
and sometimes, you get kicked in the urethra
for a long day. When I go home, I
just want to watch some kind-hearted and beautiful people
loving each other
