I've never really liked watching series (compared to movies), mainly because I don't care much about the development of the characters in it, but the experience of the inexplicable protagonist is very moving. Very direct dialogue, situations, stories are flat but subtle. It always reminds me of the touch of watching "The Catcher in the Rye", I am also young but frustrated, up but lost, clumsy but brave.
Compared to Gossip Girls, GIRLS is medium rare steak, while the former is ham. I finished watching GIRLS in almost five hours, and I felt very relaxed after reading it (although the heartache time). From "the voice of our generation" to "a voice of a generation" makes me compromise the pursuit of success and the understanding of success when I was young. We always pursue success, but it is only our own success.
The four protagonists are very rich together, I admire Dunham for putting together these completely different people (the only complaint is Charlie, it feels very out of line), shared with roommates, arguing, understanding is very kind . Of course, in terms of acting skills, except for Dunham, the others except Adam are good, but they don't seem to need very good acting skills, because they seem to be playing themselves (Kirke who plays Jessa seems to be Dunham's real-life good friend).
Culturally, a lot of sex-related things are very American, but I still feel that the director has mastered the sex scene and really integrates it into the whole film, rather than stuffing it like On the Road. Hannah's relationship with her parents gave me a new perspective on reflection, and it's always been hard to think about what my independence means to my parents. While I don't have a problem with money, money seems to be just the result of conflicting ideas, helping to highlight the so-called idealistic problem of survival. It’s not bad to learn computer for a living, you can do your own thing without compromising too much, but the society full of products is more aware of productivity, because ideas can be copied without cost through convenient methods such as the Internet, so there is a star effect, but art This disproportionate input and output makes it difficult for most artists to survive. In school, although it is a liberal arts education, everyone has employment pressure since the second or third year.
In short, GIRLS made me see my position more clearly, and of course the dialogues and situations were humorous and so on. Looking forward to the second season.
