This teacher is doing comedy! ! ! I saw Mr. Ben's interview before the broadcast, and he said that the show is very interesting, I still don't believe it, because the "comedy" defined by a person who has been playing be and is still very happy is not the same as the comedy that the public understands. It's very questionable, but with my trust in RTD, I believed it was a comedy and gave it Amway everywhere. Finally... RTD honestly doesn't deceive me! This is really comedy!
Social Security and Bunny are the funniest two-century memes, both on the show and in reality.
In Mr. Ben's other works, in "Spy of London", he cried bitterly when he lost his lover, and I was heartbroken;
When I saw him in "Cloud Atlas" who gave up his life for justice, I burst into tears;
In "Perfume", he killed girls without emotion and manipulated the world and finally committed suicide. I cried and couldn't help myself.
However, in this "British Scandal", every time he cried and asked for a social security card, I burst into laughter, the more he cried, the happier I laughed (not shaking S)... When knowing the real Norman now Being in my 70s and not getting my Social Security card, I twitched with laughter. As in the play, the letter with "Little Tutu" written in reality aroused ridicule from the public. What's more interesting in the play is that when Congressman JT and his wife were telling about "Little Tutu", they focused on "that one." The plural is used as the subject of an imperative sentence, but in fact there is only one person, which is the singular." Really fat British humor.
In addition to these two stalks, there are many laughs in this show, such as "Paddington", which is always confused (maybe the real events are also related to Paddington? I haven't checked it, but I think Paddington is in the play The frequency of appearance is quite high, there is suspicion of playing the "Paddington Bear" terrier);
For example, at the banquet at Norman's wedding, the woman's father began to speak calmly (even a little festive?), started to brag about his eldest son-in-law, and then suddenly pointed at Norman and called him gay. , the toasting speech is to say to the daughter: "Leave him! Go home!" The guests also raised their glasses and shouted "Go home!";
For example, when the widow who was with Norman heard Norman express her love with JT affectionately, not only was she not surprised, angry, she felt that she was being used and deceived, but was moved to tears by their feelings;
For example, the killer known as "professional, reliable and ruthless" was beaten out for playing in a bar, and he was afraid of dogs. Before killing people, he did psychological construction all night, and was forced by Norman's words several times. collapse;
There is also a lawyer who helped JT in the lawsuit, who actually used the prison as a hotel. When he left, he calmly asked the prison guard to change the blanket. He will come back in two days... Countless little jokes are scattered throughout the play, making this a bit serious. The political scandal became completely enjoyable. Even in the last episode, when the lawsuit between JT and Norman ended, and the two completely parted ways, a melancholy and sad atmosphere was just brewing, and it ended immediately and began to introduce the real situation. When Norman himself appeared as the final scene: "He still hasn't got his social security card" in big yellow letters, I burst into echoing laughter in my dorm room past midnight.
But I want to say that although this is a comedy, the few sad parts in it are more important, especially the third episode, which made me decide to write this review.
Norman says in episode 2, "Whenever I talk about him and I it's about Social Security and sex and letters, but I loved him and still love him, even if it's ridiculous." The central sentence of the show. Social security cards, murders, lawsuits, and other public sensational news originated from the relationship between the two.
JT began to deny that his relationship with Norman was for his own political career, but he went so far as to hire someone to murder him. When JT took care of Norman and the "little bunny" in each letter, how can it be said that he has never loved him.
When the two met each other in court after many years of separation, the vicissitudes flashed in their eyes. Although they took the step of meeting in court because of mutual resentment, the second hesitation after the eyes, they must have thought of their first encounter in the stable. Bar.
Mr. Ben said that he asked Norman if he had ever loved JT. Norman said that it was not at all. Mr. Ben said that he did not believe this completely. RTD even wrote that Norman had always loved JT. Norman in the middle talked about love when he was negotiating a deal with a friend sent by JT. When he petitioned with the widow, he directly said that he still loved JT; He said happily, "That's my nickname, I like it"; after watching TV at the end to learn that JT was acquitted, he couldn't help crying alone in the restaurant, except that the justice he asked for could not be achieved, Will there be a trace of unwillingness and reluctance in the tears, and the person who has been in love with him has completely left his life in this way. Is this complicated mood mixed with the love of the past?
JT himself said, "If the incident happened back then, the public opinion might be a little more merciful. Many of the public's anger at that time came from the romance scandal between me and Norman, and they felt that their values had been severely impacted. So it also selectively ignored a lot of facts." In the play, JT's wife said that the public was more angry because JT deceived everyone, not because of homosexuality. JT himself puts more of the blame on homosexuality, maybe it means he takes it more seriously.
When JT was asked by his lawyer "Why Norman" in the third episode, he sighed and recalled the various experiences he had suffered as a homosexual at the time. As a decent politician, he was subjected to all kinds of cruelty because of his sexuality. Even so, he remains humble and persistent in his search for "true love" until he meets Norman.
Why Norman, because he is young, gentle and innocent (at least when we first met), because he is the person who can really make JT feel "loved", then we understand that "Little Rabbit" is not from fostering The nickname of mentality, but the expression of JT's heartfelt love for Norman, and it is no wonder that Norman likes this nickname. And JT said "a lot of neglected facts", although it is impossible to verify, but let's guess, the love between the two is also in this "fact".
Finally, let's talk about Mr. Ben, Uncle Hugh and the screenwriter RTD. They made this real-life story of scumbags and scumbags interesting and moving.
(When the cast and plot of this play were announced, I said: It is foreseeable that there will be three lives of "Morris" × "After the Wind and Rain" + "British Scandal" + "Paddington Bear 2" in the future Editing for the third world. I didn't expect that the first thing was Uncle Hugh's official terrier Paddington Bear, something like "Ben is still a bear in my eyes", and something like "It's like having sex with Paddington Bear"...
In addition, Cliff, played by Uncle Hugh in "Morris", is also completely separated from Morris because of his political career, and the two are getting farther and farther away. There is no sense of disobedience when directly connecting with JT! Even after leaving Morris, I still can't restrain my love for the same sex, secretly looking for a man but being hurt again and again, and then I met Norman... ah, so cruel, when I mention Morris, I get angina)
