Regarding the characters, it
can be said that Friends’ three-male and three-female framework created an era of sitcoms, so much so There is no shortage of follow suits all over the world, and the three men and two women of HIMYM are innovative in paying tribute.
Both dramas have their own interpersonal hubs. Monica's character of advocating organization and discipline will never allow the other five people to fall behind in her own life, so the five people have developed a strong nightmare bond with her. Phoebe's character was once unbearable and planned to squeeze Mon out. Moments of friends, but he was squeezed back by Mon abruptly -_-; Ted of HIMYM relied more on his more mediocre personal charm to maintain close contact with other people-he and Marshell and Lily were roommates from college. The relationship developed a close-family relationship (M&L subconsciously treats him as his own child, but in real life Ted takes care of them so much), and Robin's detached lover-friend relationship developed from love at first sight, and between Barney They are more casual, tolerant, complementary, and expectant good brothers.
The male number one in the two dramas. All have strong idealism and romanticism, and inevitably like to go all the way to the dark. They are dedicated, serious, tidy, dedicated, and full of illusions and wild thoughts about the future. What's more interesting is that they are all committed patients with marriage obsessive-compulsive disorder. Ross has been married three times, and according to reason, there should be a fourth time; Ted persistently searched for his significant other, did not hit the south wall without looking back, and even stole computer information for a higher matching index, and encouraged others to escape the marriage. In fact, without his dedication to marriage, there would be no such drama. Of course, in the middle and late stages, Ross basically has no mature personality, but has become more and more paranoid and naive, which occasionally disgusts people. Compared with Ross, Ted still has a lot of advantages in character. It can be regarded as a mature version of Ross.
Other characters also have their own characteristics. Lily is a good wife and mother like Monica, full of love, but not so paranoid, but has a little more silly eldest sister character. Marshell is as loyal and reliable as Joey, even more honest, and dedicated-this seems a bit incompatible with his status as a quasi-lawyer. Although Robin's performance is not as impressive as Rachel, she also carried forward Rachel's image of an independent woman in the middle and late stages to the extreme. She pursues career success, desires richer work experience, and is not accustomed to others breaking into her private space. , Not to be obsessed with marriage, and do not plan to have children for the time being. I still look forward to the screenwriter giving this role more space. Although it is not Ted's true goddess, she seems to be the heroine in the play.
The most brilliant supporting role. After watching too many sitcoms, it is inevitable to have such a sigh: Why is the funny supporting role always so attractive, whether it is Miss Chinandolor Bong in Friends, or Barney, who is full of Legendary in HIMMY, they will make the show without them. The set has lost at least half of its charm-a scene where you can grab the protagonist if you want to grab it, and grabbing it like this is a kind of extreme. If Chandler used mocking and self-deprecating humor to conceal the trauma of his family, Barney concealed the harm of love by completely subverting his original outlook on life; Chan Chan Man was timid and fearful of a weak male character, and Swarley did not recruit himself. Full of sturdy life. The irony and caustic humor, the uninhibited life, two frustrated people, used different ways to highlight their existence. They don't want to love, but because of their powerlessness and powerlessness, they are afraid that the deeper they fall, the heavier they hurt. They all want to be noticed and valued subconsciously, so people who are almost the opposite of their personalities become Mo Ni's best friends. Chandler cherishes Joey's simplicity and clumsiness, and always does his best to fund his acting career. When he said in the last season, how could our house not have Joey's room, no one would not be moved by it. On the other hand, Barney broke into Ted's life in his own way. He always said to the PLMM in a very pretentious way: Hi, have you met Ted? Always forcing Ted to admit that he is his best friend, and always hitting the Titanic at M&L. The love between the two add to the chaos nervously. But actually? He used his own way to help Ted lift his spirits from the frustrations of love again and again; in order to save M&L’s broken relationship, he flew alone to convince Lily, the sentence: I bought you a ticket home, it made people so surprised and moved, he In fact, he wished the friends of M&L to get married; he also went to the lonely Robin to play a laser gun battle and smoke cigars together, which was quite loyal, and more signs were showing that B&R was about to sparkle. If because of our love with Monica, we saw an increasingly perfect Chandler, I also wish Barney can be saved in the relationship with Robin, at least he can grow up? In any case, his performance in future episodes is worth looking forward to.
Bridge section and background setting
HIMYM and Friends have similar bridges and background settings-even if they are not obvious, they can't escape the eyes of my obsessive-compulsive fans. The protagonists of the two dramas are all New Yorkers, usually just bubble, make love, play scrabble, it can be seen that this group in the United States is huge, it should be similar to our "North Drift"; both dramas are interspersed with a lot of about Memories of college life, and the protagonists are extremely stupid during this period; many stories in the two dramas take place during Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. It seems that these moments must have stories for Americans; the protagonists of the two dramas are both There is a strong fetish complex, C&J’s football table in Friends, Marshell’s classic car in HIMYM; the families of the two shows are difficult to deal with, either divorced or single parent, or the family concept is super stubborn, at least Chandler and Barney are separate There is a very modern mother who loves the moment -_-. I personally think that the most reminiscent part of the bridge is the wedding of C&M and M&L: they have escaped marriage due to panic, and they almost got married in a place that shouldn’t be married. There is a considerable battle for groomsmen/bridesmaid status. It’s all because of the bands and wedding dresses. There are embarrassing bachelor parties. They are all hosted and accompanied by their best friends, and they all forget to bring their vows, so they play it on the spot. , The so-called sin of wanting to add to the crime, there is no reason to worry, stop here.
Talk about the characteristics of HIMYM. Although it is the same humorous and tender route as Friends, it is different from the plain narrative style of Friends. The plot of HIMYM is undoubtedly more compact, and the entanglement between the characters is also stronger. It tells the plot in the way that Ted talks to the children in 2030, which not only makes who the mother is a suspense, but also provides great convenience for the screenwriter in the future when the plot is chosen and the burden is shaken. Therefore, when watching HIMYM, you can often see the following situations: Someone is doing something at this time —> the audience is confused —> the narration starts to vomit: When was the time —> Hmm, the camera switched quickly , Telling someone was doing something at that time -> the audience suddenly realized -> 唰, the camera cut back, continue to tell something that someone was doing at the time -> repeat the above steps several times. Frequent camera switching, flashbacks, interspersed narration, flashbacks, and even random narratives often dazzle people and make them dizzy, but they are also full of unexpected fun, and the characters' personalities are therefore more full. One of the classics is Lily's memories of Barney's persuasion. It is a very classic completion. I believe that Barney will also add a lot of points to the audience's hearts. Of course, this way of deduction should be very tiring, because it takes a long time span to set up a lot of foreshadowing and answer the questions before and after. It requires a lot of skill for the screenwriter and director. It’s a joke.
Another feature of HIMYM is that every episode has a very attractive theory or theory, such as the olive theory, the butterfly effect, and the theory of knowingly guilty. Although the suspicion of preaching is inevitable, it is indeed quite interesting compared to the plot. I believe that in the future, there will be good people who will sort out this information. Even if no one does it in China, there should be some in foreign countries.
Please finish the story slowly
HIMYM has been out for three seasons so far, with the current ratings, the fourth season should be logical. I know that HIMYM is destined not to become a classic like Friends. After all, in the hearts of a generation, including me, such a monument is difficult to surpass, and that era is gone forever. However, Aniston's beauty is hard to stay, and Matthew Perry is no longer motivated. There is still a need for good works under the monument, and there is no shortage of good works. In the post-Friends era, I have seen too many excellent dramas being cut, and the wonderful stories come to an abrupt end. The fate of attention is hard to know. I only hope that the producer can let this drama tell the story slowly Finish, give us a sufficiently substantial process and a sufficiently memorable ending. I don’t need too many magnificent, sound and light commercial masterpieces, I don’t need too many legends of heroes who are one man, and don’t need to be a hero, let alone that kind of dangerous drama that makes people feel bad and upsets the relationship. , I just want some warmth and beauty, some humor and dreams, after all, life is often so suck, why should I keep in front of the TV and continue to worry and worry about myself?
In the days without Friends, let us sit down and listen to Ted talk about his romance.
