Pete has two, the old one first. Uncle Pete.
I got hooked on the first episode because of Uncle Pete, because the old man's vitriol can literally beat three middle-aged women. He scolded his nephew, and used the same embarrassing thing to taunt him from childhood to adulthood; he scolded his biological son, even though he knew that his brother had abused his biological child, he still ignored it; For hundreds of years, this store has been selling wine mixed with water; he scolded the new young customers who love blind bbs, raising prices if they disagreed, not selling them if they disagreed, and letting them go; he scolded his niece and The sissy lawyer he brought.
In this play, he scolded almost everyone, but he never scolded old customers, never scolded Masha.
I don't think Uncle Pete has any idea about Masha, but he just wants to keep this woman's place in this tavern and keep her under her belt. It's not so much a nostalgia for the old man's story, it's better that he insists on the last part that he can control.
He is old, there is nowhere to go except this tavern, but here, he is a senior, he sets the rules, his soft nephew and fine son have been forced by his lewd power since childhood, he won't order music if he doesn't let him sing , he does not sell beers other than Budweiser, and his only dignity lies in these traditions that can be persisted without reason.
Yes, traditions, the traditions of his time are already in jeopardy like this century-old tavern. Although the physical space remains unchanged, the alcoholics who come have brought all kinds of unreasonable concepts and topics to him, abortion, homosexuality. , European immigration, oral sex, he can't understand and accept, all he can do is scold people, and then tell them to get out.
But his territory is limited to this, and there are more and more things he cannot understand and accept. To make matters worse, his territory is also shrinking, and his descendants are no longer as persistent as they are. In addition to resisting all this from the outside world, he also has to resist dissent from within the family.
When Sylvia brought a lawyer to the door to dismantle and sell the pub, Uncle Pete was infinitely lonely towards Horace:
You should stand up for this bar, not me, I'm old.
In Sylvia's words, Uncle Pete is the most unhappy person he's ever seen, Horace said, maybe he's lonely. Yes, because of this, he wrapped himself heavily and resisted everything with a poisonous tongue. The story of Uncle Pete when he was young, about his marriage and love, was not explained in the play at all, but the conversation he had with his biological son before closing time on the last night, and the only warm conversation with his son, seemed to have cryptically told everything about him. .
This is how the topic started. . . (omg covers her face)
Uncle Pete tell son, boy, never do that to a woman and she won't respect you, okay?
Pete was stunned, Uncle Pete was sad.
He took the gun out of the drawer, checked the bullets, and said I'd go save some money and go home. Pete said, okay, good night.
Good night, Uncle Pete said. Then he propped up his chair and walked to the door and closed it.
The lens stays on the door for a long time. The first time the "Hell no" didn't sound. . . . . .
