When it comes to American dramas, there are too many good dramas that everyone can think of without thinking about them:
Situational drama "Friends", "The Big Bang Theory", "Broken Sisters"
Crime and politics "House of Cards", "Prison Break", "Breaking Bad", "Homeland Security"
Zombie Horror "American Horror Story", "The Walking Dead", "The Vampire Diaries"
Urban life category "Desperate Housewives", "Deadly Women", "Modern Family"
Career Focus "Mad Men", "Grey Intern", "Coquettish Lawyer"
Which is your pit drama? Which one is the number one in your mind? There are thousands of people, and these two issues are too difficult for American TV shows.
The "Under Six Feet" I want to talk about this time is not well-known and has a long history. The first season premiered in 2001, a total of 5 seasons. This article only involves part of the first episode of the first season.
This drama was rated by 110,000 people on IMDB, with a score of 8.8, and picked the title that has received more approvals from film reviews. Raw, personal conflict was never so mesmerizing This Show Does The Impossible Entrancing, confronting, charming, absolutely mindbending. Feels like an insult to call it television Excellent, one of the best shows I've ever seen. The greatest show in the history of television. The Greatest Show I've Ever Seen The best show ever! No exaggeration to call it a masterpiece A masterpiece in television Best thing that I have ever seen in my entire life! One of the best show's of all time An absolute master piece
There are too many absolute words in the comments, never, absolutely, best, masterpiece, which fully explains the mindbending of this show.
One of the evaluations is a good portrayal.
Another comment said that I repeatedly unsubscribed and finally found that I still love HBO the most. After all, HBO is a boutique product. Speaking of HBO, this veteran pay TV station has always been a model of daring to choose content and daring to spend money. The slogan has not changed since 1997.
"This is not TV, this is HBO"
("It's Not TV, It's HBO")
"Sunday is HBO" (Sunday is HBO)
The confidence behind the unchanged slogan for more than 20 years is countless oracles.
2019 "Euphoria Excitement" 2018 "Sharp Weapon" "My Gifted Girlfriend" 2016 "Western World" 2014 "Silicon Valley" 2011 "Game of Thrones" Then to 1998 "Sex and the City"
HBO's TV idea is to go to TV, so that TV shows have the quality of movies, and the weight of 8-12 episodes in a season allows audiences to enjoy 10 movies a year.
Who said that the increased duration of TV shows must be at the expense of diluting quality?
As mentioned in the comments above, the best in TV series is defined as a kind of humiliation.
The popularity at the time shows that the students around were watching and discussing (raved about this show) obsessed with gobbled up (so hooked). I first saw the title Six feet under, and didn’t realize that it was a movie related to death, Gray episodes related to funerals .
Re-enter the field of vision, because GB Queen - Liu Zhen death touches too.
The little friend who has watched "Kangxi Is Coming" must be no stranger. She is the dancing princess who speaks sweetly and is not annoying.
In early February, when I accompanied my daughter for an examination, it was found that the heart aortic valve was stenosis. If the aortic valve replacement operation is not performed in time, there is a risk of "heart failure" and "stroke". The most direct and serious consequence is "sudden death."
So after spending her 4th birthday with her daughter, she was admitted to the hospital for surgery. Unexpectedly, she had a cardiac arrest during the operation. She could only put Yeke membrane in and line up to change her heart. Spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage occurred in early March. She had 5 craniotomy before and after 5 times. He was paralyzed, and the side effects of Yekemo also led to insufficient blood supply at the end. He had to amputate his toe...Even if he tried his best, he still died of ineffective rescue. He was only 44 years old.
She said mischievously, "I hope her feet are not too big." Thinking of Liu Zhen who loves dancing and shoes repeatedly opening up, opening his skull, and cutting off his toes, it still can’t be exchanged for the time to accompany his daughter to grow up. Unacceptable and even tears always come Can't stop
Below six feet, it is safe to enter the earth.
There will be a dead person at the beginning of every episode of this show.
In the first episode, the father who was the pillar of the family and the founder of the family funeral service agency , a man who had been in contact with countless dead in his life, was cautious, and had no speeding ticket, died in a car accident.
This is probably the last evil taste of death . for example:
On June 14, 2019, Academician Ning Bin , the former president of Beijing Jiaotong University , died of a traffic accident on his way to the World Transport Conference, at the age of 60.
Ningbin has made systematic contributions in the field of rail transit train operation control systems in China (including subways, ordinary-speed railways, and high-speed train control systems). The industry's highest individual award Zhan Tianyou Award
The opening of the film is very symbolic. The loose hand, the empty sky, the bed pushing the corpse, the withered flower, and finally the director and screenwriter engraved his name on the tombstone.
It was Christmas. It was supposed to be a day for family reunion. Old Fisher drove a newly bought hearse to the airport to pick up the eldest son who had fled the family and went to New Jersey to run alone. His mother Ruth called and urged him to buy the eldest son’s favorite food. Organic food.
After being heard smoking in the new car, Ruth had an education. It is probably a scene that has been staged in every family with smokers...
Old Fsher had to say that he was a man with great family wisdom. He immediately extinguished the cigarette and made a promise to quit smoking.
After hanging up the phone, the next second, he lighted a cigarette again proudly, at this moment... a bus ran into the middle.
The deceased is gone. Facing the provocative accident of life, the story unfolds little by little along with the emotional fluctuations of the family.
When the car accident happened, Ruth, who was cutting fruit, scratched his hand, like the scene where the embroidery needle pierced his hand in our costume drama.
The eldest son, Nate, who had just landed on the plane, was in the utility room of the airport, having an in-depth exchange with the girl who had just struck up. Here, mother Ruth pulled the beef stew out of the oven. The two shots connected were meaningful.
Then Ruth received a call and learned that her husband had died in a traffic accident. He collapsed and knocked over the food, pots and pans on the table, and screamed.
Working downstairs-the second son David, who was in charge of paying homage to the remains, went upstairs to learn the news and called to inform his brother and the death of his sister who was taking drugs.
With such a cruel beginning, the ultimate growth of the child, is it to manage the father's wedding by himself?
And this is the profession they depend on for survival.
Occupational diseases:
When Ruth asked the eldest son Nate to identify the corpse, he said: "I have seen too many corpses in my life. That's work. I can't treat your father like this, so I ask you to finish it." When my son came out, he asked: "How does he look? Does he need a lot of reconstruction? Your brother is not good at difficult repairs. Let's not use a closed coffin. I don't want to be criticized, saying that we can't handle the depth. Rebuild, or not be proud of your work."
At this time, David, who was sitting on the stairs after a day’s work, was waiting for his family to return. Hearing the sound of opening the door, he immediately got up and buttoned his suit, sorted his clothes, with standard gestures and standing posture. The first sentence when his family came in was:
"You did not bring back my father's body? Do not you know that the longer the higher the degree of difficulty of rebuilding it?" .
The mother who caused her heartache additionally blamed her stupidity.
normal family:
In Nate's words, they were just a family that couldn't be more ordinary, with a control freak mother, a control freak brother, a sister who left home too early and didn't know much, a prudent father, and the eldest son who was crazy and rebellious when he was young. It is really unacceptable. A father who didn't have a speeding ticket would die in a traffic accident.
Later, Nate, who had originally chosen to escape the family, saw her mother who broke down and cried at the funeral and confessed that she had derailed. She had a dispute with her gay brother who wanted to study law but took over the family business for the sake of family sacrifice. The younger sister, coming close and far away, complained and vented to each other, and comforted each other and teased each other.
When the soul of the family is missing, the original ordinary family suddenly becomes sharp and sharp. This kind of experience is not incapable of empathy.
Hallucinations:
The family gradually had hallucinations.
He was unwilling to accept his father's departure, and even tore off the previous disguise, and gradually became honest with himself and each other. Mother Ruth finished dressing for the funeral and saw her husband in front of the mirror saying to herself, "I know everything, I know everything." It directly led to her collapse and frankly said that she had derailed.
David fantasizes about roaring at the worship ceremony, and auditory hallucinations when the music appreciating female is chattering endlessly:
"You think it's boring, but get used to it earlier, because once your father dies, you never want to go to law school. You can only live with the dead and weird freaks for the rest of your life . "
This time, his pupils dilated and he shouted out in fear.
While Nate met the bus during the morning run, fantasizing that he was standing in the middle of the road and being knocked down, the blood in his brain spread out along the pattern of floor tiles, and his father, who was gambling in another world, looked back at him and said: " Let you join in the next game."
In the end, Nate, who was still running in the morning, saw his father sitting on the bus and waving goodbye to him. This time, his father no longer laughed at himself for being timid, nor complained about his brother's poor repair skills, nor was he relieved by his cheating mother, but was full of sadness.
When the loved ones are relieved, the deceased will truly leave.
The funeral is to reverse the emotions of the living and the dead.
dark humor:
Swearing does not carry dirty words.
When paying homage to the dead, the old man said to David: "She looks very peaceful . " David Occupation echoed: "Yes, she truly rest in peace" .
Unexpectedly, the old man slowly spit out:
"If there is justice in the universe, she should be shoveling shit in hell now . "
David's face was left with a black line.
Burn brighter.
When my friend persuaded my sister to take drugs, he said, "It will make everything burn brighter . "
That his father's death sister yelled: "Well, now it makes the pain feel a burning brighter" .
Musical taste at the funeral.
David received a compliment from a lady who has studied music appreciation. She said that she participated in three funerals this year, namely cancer, stroke, and infant leukemia. All she chose was the sad organ music, which reminded her of the soap operas her mother loved to watch before kindergarten, so she especially appreciated the selection of the funeral. Chamber orchestra is spiritual, not outdated, and not frustrating.
The above is only a part of the first episode, and the points that can be said, ridiculous, and thought-provoking have been scattered.
This is a drama that must be recommended.
The recommended language is incoherent, can't tell you exactly what you will gain, and dare not say it.
Because of her complicated temperament:
Fine and realistic exudes the breath of life,
The subject matter is out of reach and has a sense of alienation.
Plus the super high information density of the lines.
As a result, it is impossible to predict at all. At which point it will touch your nerves, any line or expression is possible.
When you first come into contact with death, when you think you are the closest to death, when death hurts your heart, you understand.
When identifying the corpse in the morgue, Nate seemed to see his father say to himself, "The prodigal son is home. You have been hiding for a lifetime. When you grow up, you are still scared to death. No one can escape."
Face it, we can't escape.
Even a TV series from 20 years ago.
finally.
The show is perfectly closed loop, and the final episode of the fifth season will be breathtaking.
There are too few unfinished dramas, on this point, it is worth watching +1.
