After watching the third episode of Melrose, Some Hope, I breathed a sigh of relief: the heavy and airtight pressure brought by old Melrose finally began to weaken and shatter, and Patrick did not reconcile or compromise with the world. To find his own peace, he tried to start being himself instead of continuing to be a replica of his father.
The setting of the third episode is very interesting. The whole episode almost revolves around a high-end dinner party, from preparation to conclusion. Melrose is still a high-class person even if he has fallen, and can be at the same table as the British princess, but Patrick, who has spent eight years struggling with drug addiction and depression, constantly struggling in the shadow of his father, has become out of tune with his surroundings.
Brigitte, who didn't have much kindness to Patrick when she was young, became a countess, but she had to endure her husband's derailment, the contempt of other nobles, and the "inappropriate" behavior of commoners' parents. In this episode, she and Patrick complement each other. , and finally did not compromise and escaped the life that made them miserable.
In contrast to the end of the second episode, Patrick wants to escape his father through his mother and other adults, but in the middle of the night he still can only curl up in the shadow cast by his father at the door, full of fear as his father threatens him to tear him to pieces; The lover made an appointment to escape from the hopeless lover, but the lover broke up, so she could only go back alone with the box.
Patrick and his wife's ex-lover, Julia, had an affair after a dinner party, which happened to break through the family scandal of Brigitte and her husband. In the end, Brigitte left home angrily, and Patrick gave up halfway, that is, from here, the heavy past began There was a crack that could make Patrick gasp, and he suddenly realized that he couldn't repeat the same mistakes, and the flashback when he picked up the broken wine glass couldn't let fear take hold of his heart anymore.
At the end of the dinner, Patrick met a musician who had sold drugs to himself but was now invited by the upper class to play. After parting with him, it was Mary, who was sitting beside him at the dinner, who was attentive and attentive. Finally, he threw into the dark pool. He picked up a branch and laughed.
Maybe this is Patrick's farewell to the past, I hope.
