All the members of the Fishers can almost form a small kingdom:
they were hit by a car in the first episode. The old man Nathaniel Fisher, who flew to see God, was the king. He returned the life "given by God" to God (Nathaniel means "given by God" in Hebrew). Although he gave the impression of being quite lawful before his death, many secrets were revealed after his death.
The old woman Ruth Fisher was a queen, a contrl freak, and had an extramarital affair with Nathaniel before his death; after Nathaniel's death, she was in a love triangle; and Soon you will find that in the next few seasons she will have an ambiguous suspected homosexuality and a twilight love.
The eldest son, Nate Fisher, rebelled, and left this funeral country very early. However, it is obvious that Nate is very popular with the old man (you can see that their names are similar). It may be because of this. The son took the path that the old Nathaniel had only dared to walk in fantasy. He is a rebellious prince who finally turned his back on the prodigal son.
The second son, David Fisher, he inherited the family business, and he was still a gay prince-which was a kind of rebellion, but he still looked more like the old man Nathaniel. It is no wonder that he has become a contingent of the kingdom of death.
The young girl Claire Fisher, the little princess was still coughing medicine when her father was hit by a car and was still in a high mood when she saw her father’s body. Does it alleviate sadness or increase sadness, but in general it can be counted as one kind-named after a movie, High Art. It’s like being ridiculed by someone later wearing the nickname "Thumb Lover", this is a rebellious little girl, just like his older brother Nat, but without him, he was determined and a little overwhelmed, but she didn’t take shape. Of rebellion. This kind of rebellion was very helpful for later digging out her artistic talent.
In general, rebellion or hidden rebellion is something that this family has in common, regardless of whether this rebellion is in a recessive or dominant state in their genes-I was thinking, it's a big deal. Part of it was influenced by their family's occupation-funeral society. People who deal with death are always different from others.
"Six Feet of the Storm" can almost be regarded as the best black humor series, although people die in every episode. The screenwriter’s design of many black humorous lines and scenes will not make the audience laugh too much, nor do they render too much. Generally speaking, it will make the audience smile suddenly, and then continue to watch it with a straight face until the next laugh. For example, at the beginning of an episode, a certain husband talked about like Tang Seng, and the wife finally couldn’t stand it. She took the pan and patted her husband, then sat down and ate the fried eggs quietly...the reason why this is called The black humor is because, at this point, the husband ended his life.
And the Fischer family created and spread black humor everywhere.
It was like the old Nathaniel who was driving a hearse to pick up growth at first, but unexpectedly turned into an old Nathaniel smoking a cigar to see God. The old woman thought that the old man was just sitting in the newly bought hearse to be handsome. The old man listened to the old woman on the phone and finally extinguished the cigarette after nagging over and over again. Then he extinguished the phone, but then lit a cigar—it was this black The humorous action killed him. A bus completely smashed the old man and his new hearse into reimbursement. The death protagonist in this first episode is the old Nathani who used to take care of the other death protagonists. Yeah.
And at this moment, Claire is taking drugs and hitting the head; Nat is also having sex with Brenda in the airport storeroom; David is being smashed by a sex-hungry woman. Entangled, what he was thinking must be why homosexuality should suffer this crime; and the old lady Ruth, who heard the news of her husband’s death, dropped the freshly made cookies and the pots and pans. Ground, made the group of people downstairs gazing at the remains astonished for a moment.
Although, for the people in the story, their black humor is not intentional, the contrast of the scenes in this series of examples brings out the thought-provoking comic effect for a moment.
The last thing this family has in common is that this family is all fantasies.
The old Nathaniel himself was a secret fantasy fanatic. As mentioned before, the hidden side of his life before his death, he even had a secret room dedicated to smoking marijuana in order to dream of life.
The role of the old lady Ruth is still very popular in some ways, because she is frank and passionate, and although she is a very old woman, she sometimes looks like a paranoid child. For example, at the old man’s funeral, confession and affair; for example, when we were separated with the florist and the barber, and fantasized about the other party who was not present; for example, I was accused of arranging flower arrangements for a funeral ceremony and went to take a test. Flower arranging qualification certificate; for example, he calmly faced the reality of David who came out and bought a book to study his son... As a control-crazy old woman, Ruth’s fantasies are basically self-centered, all The protagonist of the fantasy is basically herself.
Claire is an intermediate type between David and Nat. Her rebellion is sometimes manifested obviously, but more often in fantasy. For example, dreaming about yelling at a school teacher who can’t get involved. She looked for herself in fantasy, but she didn't understand what she was looking for less and less. This is probably an experience that everyone has ever had.
As for the rebellious Nat, his original fantasy object was basically his father the old Nathaniel. He didn't spend much time to understand him during his lifetime, but after he passed away he discovered that he turned out to be a weird person, a very interesting old man, and not as well-behaved as he imagined. He seemed to see another himself.
Because David is particularly like his father (on the surface and the known side)-Nathaniel lived a fantasy life by smoking marijuana, while David watched a gay pornographic video masturbating and fantasy life. In addition to such things, every time he is with the dead, David will imagine that the dead is talking to him, discussing some mysterious philosophy of life, and almost every time those who have died can teach him something.
During the first period of time, the other people in this family who were still in the world almost all fantasized about their dead old Nathaniel, fantasizing that he would come back and point them to one or two. This tendency to talk to the dead has almost become a tradition of this family in later stories.
The above are the three weird traits peculiar to the Fischer family that will roughly emerge in your mind after you first come into contact with "Six Foot Wind and Cloud": rebellious physique, black humor maker, and fanaticism. (Text/len calvin)
