Especially the first and last episodes, the ingenious structure and the ingenuity of the screenwriter are amazing. In the first episode, the screenwriter made us think that this is an ukiyo-e collection of life in different families at the same time. Until the end, several story lines broke the barriers of time and space and merged into one family.
In the last episode, when we thought that Daddy Jack must have died from drunk driving, because the screenwriter had two foreshadowings, the first one, the daughter Kate finally confided the truth to her boyfriend, that is, she was the cause of Daddy's death, and in the past time and space, Daddy On the advice of my daughter, I drove to meet my mother. Second, there was a lot of beer in the car, and Dad was about to drive drunk. The writers hung up on the suspense of why Dad died for an entire season, when we thought the last episode could solve the mystery, and the result? Finally hanging on to the next season. Gao
Dang we thought that Jack and Rebecca must have met because of the introduction of the old grandmother, and they met on a blind date. Especially when Rebecca went to the restaurant and said embarrassedly to the front desk, "Actually, I'm here for a blind date. It's embarrassing." The waiter replied, "That's what the man said!" Personally, it must be Mom and Dad. As a result, when the camera turned, Rebecca's blind date turned out to be another man.
The scene where they meet also echoes their conflict in the final episode. Rebecca is a charismatic and beautiful singer on stage, and Jack is a frustrated young man about to go astray. The eyes are facing each other and the love is fixed for a lifetime. This moment will be an extraordinary moment that will change the trajectory of their lives.
From this encounter, Jack will slip back into the hands of crime, and start a dutiful life of both his husband and father.
From this encounter, Rebecca's singing career is about to sink, and she begins her busy and whole-hearted life as a wife and a stay-at-home mother.
So, in the final episode, the most intense quarrel between mom and dad is the accusation of a mom who has lost her worth and the dizziness of an unconfident husband who is afraid of losing his wife. As long as he goes back to the original point of love, Jack will find that the Rebecca he first fell in love with was a person who would leave his blind date in order to sing in a bar. He fell in love with what he was dissatisfied with now. If he can understand this and trace the journey of love back to the beginning, he will find that the person he loves has never changed.
I really hope this show can be seen by every kid and parent. The life attitudes of the three children as adults and the major or minor choices in life are closely related to the family environment created by their parents when they were young. In each episode, we see how childhood experiences destroyed or guided their lives. Kevin, because he was not valued when he was a child, I only saw him as an adult always doubting himself and hesitating. This is a manifestation of lack of inner strength. Kate, who was a little fat when she was young, was snubbed and even laughed at by her friends, so we will see her panic and withdrawal when she is in love as an adult. randdle, the search and confirmation of his self-identity, accompanied and continued throughout his childhood and adult life, which is why I saw his angry growl and inexplicable act of bringing him home when he met his biological father when he became an adult.
But ah, even if all three have been deeply frustrated by life, they will bravely defend themselves as boxers. Kevin finally had the courage to say no to the boss of the company and joined the unfamiliar New York theater world without the company of his sister. Kate is still with Tony and is on a journey to lose weight. randdle put aside his resentment and tried his best to take care of his biological father.
Among them, there is the fearlessness of change, the courage to try, and the tolerance of understanding, which are rooted in the blood of the three people. Even outside the closed, shriveled or injured corner of their hearts, there is still a lot of strength and life to contend with. These strengths stem from the positive example of the parents at a young age and the unconditional and unreserved love they all felt. For the party that they spent so much time organizing, their father sincerely apologized for his negligence, never stingy to express his love, to protect their firm will, and to run for them without any regrets. All of this is what they have to face when they are adults. The heavy blow of life, the source of strength that can still stand up.
Therefore, I like the form of the intersection of two time and space, because I can see the cause and effect, and the direction I want to learn in the future.
Also, the screenwriter is really a master at poking your heart! It is always a simple shot or a few words that can poke into the center of the heart and deeply empathize and be moved. After grandpa William died, he fantasized about meeting his mother in a warm room. cry! Randddle endured the pain and drove home, and saw a group of ducklings that he was going to watch with William, and the poem book that William left for him in the car, crying! randdle's wife had always regretted not saying goodbye to William. When she received the postcard that William promised to send her, she cried!
randdle learned that her mother had been lying to him. After accidentally swallowing hallucinogenic mushrooms, she saw her dead father, Under the guidance of her father, she saw the symbolic expression of the hard work and fear of the mother who kept the secret alone - the mother was trapped in the dark room and could not get out! cry! randdle saw her mother and only said: i know you are lonely. Mom cried instantly, and I cried too! Because we are too empathetic to this kind of feeling, in fact, it is the understanding from our close relatives that often makes us remove our strong disguise. In order to find a black role model for Randddle, Mom and Dad sent him to Taekwondo (whether karate or boxing forgot), the coach let the son sit on Dad's back, and asked Dad to do push-ups while telling the oath to protect his son for life, cry! (Which episode is this, I forgot that this is so touching! Form and emotion are so integrated into heaven)
