Below a previous article, a small boss left a message saying that cats don't push American TV dramas.
Who said that?
There is a kind of stand up for me...accept my apology.
Indeed, it seems that I haven't said anything about American TV dramas recently.
So today I specially selected an "all-encompassing" drama for you.
Like crime, like heavy mouth, like love, like inspirational, like funny...
All can be chased!
"Barre"
"Yellow Storm" HBO's small-cost crime comedy.
There are 8 episodes, each of only 30 minutes, which is short and concise.
After the broadcast, it received unanimous praise.
"Barry" is the soul who is also the writers, directors, actors of Bill Harder (Bill Hader).
Domestic audiences have a unified nickname for him: Shi Xiaofang .
Those who chase the comedy variety "Saturday Night Live" must know him.
Bill Harder was once the main laughter of this longevity show.
Called the "walking emoticon", comedy skills are beyond doubt.
In this new play, Bill Harder once again showed us what is [the highest state of comedy] .
Barry is an honorably retired soldier from the U.S. Marine Corps.
Once blood-stained on the battlefield, he killed the enemy like a sack, and he was outstanding in battle.
But the trauma brought by the war has always accompanied him like a nightmare.
Even if he returns to ordinary life, he is still incompatible with the current society.
Because there is only one thing he is good at, and that is killing.
Forced to make a living, he became a killer.
Although he didn't kill any good people, the pain in his heart did not subside.
Finally one day, his partner proposed:
Killing people like this is not a way to survive... so... let's go to the big city to kill people!
Barry, who had no goals in life, agreed.
"Ding~You have a new order for "Is it dead", please process it in time~"
The order came from the Chechen gang boss in the Los Angeles area.
His wife and the fitness coach got to bed, so he asked Barry to get rid of the fitness coach.
"Ding~The killer has taken the order, please be patient."
In the process of stepping on and tracking, Barry made a mistake and broke into a performance training class.
Unexpectedly, this training class, a bit like an MLM den, attracted Barry.
What's more weird is that the fitness instructor Barry is going to kill is one of the students.
The most weird thing is that he enthusiastically invited Barry to have a scene with him.
"Ding~ Your assassin has successfully obtained the merchandise and is currently assassinating."
Standing on the stage, with the spotlight above his head, the applause of the audience echoed in his ears.
This feeling made Barry seem to be reborn and found his goal in life.
A short free trial lesson not only gave Barry an unprecedented impulse.
It also made him make many friends, including the fitness coach he was going to assassinate.
This sudden emotional shock shocked the gangsters who followed him!
More importantly, Barry's already stagnant heart was beating again because of a woman.
Sally is also a student in the acting class, and becoming an actress is her only dream.
Her enthusiasm and optimism infected Barry, and he decided to sign up to learn acting.
"Ding~ Your killer is about to cancel the order, please contact the gang customer service."
Under the persuasion of his friends, Barry decided to stop after the last vote.
The fitness coach has been killed by the gang himself, and Barry will also be killed by them.
Don't even look at him looking dull and dull, but killing people is clean and tidy.
Good at killing people, but not good at dating.
This is the sorrow of the steel straight man!
So what is Barry thinking at this time?
Of course it was the trouble with the gang. Killing both of them would definitely lead to revenge.
So he decided to let the partners leave Los Angeles first and stay to solve the trouble.
When I was on the phone with Sally to talk about acting, the gangster came to the door.
The joke of this show is so absurd.
If you can get it, then you will surely laugh.
The gang used the lives of their partners as coercion and forced Barry to kill another person for them.
With a sniper rifle, I don't forget to read a book.
Even assassins are so motivated, what reason do you have for so much effort and waste of time? !
Sally finally received a very precious audition opportunity, but was ruined by a bitch.
Barry has only carried a gun on his shoulder, this is the first time he has given his shoulder to a person to lean on.
On one side is the fascinating ordinary life, on the other side is the lingering and unbearable past.
How to accept? How to refuse? Barry was extremely entangled.
Finally, on the night of the assassination, he made his own decision.
It was supposed to kill the target from a long distance, but in order to see Sally earlier, Barry took the risk and chose melee.
After successfully killing the target, Barry once again chose "hand-to-hand combat".
But can Barry get rid of trouble so easily?
Can he return to the life of ordinary people so smoothly?
The rest of the story is left for you to read.
Unlike previous performances that pretend to be crazy or behave stupidly or gag, Bill Harder is "seriously" funny in "Barry".
He looks harmless to humans and animals, but he is a cold-blooded killer.
The most shameful assassin who wants to become a public actor.
This contrast is one of the high-end methods of comedy.
Chen Peisi said: "Comedies have a tragic core."
"Barry" is exactly like this, under the strange setting of "the killer wants to be an actor", it is the theme of how a person who has been traumatized by war returns to society.
Extending it further, this is a very realistic proposition:
Do you choose what you are good at or the life you love?
In the former, you may not be happy; in the latter, you may be very hard.
How to choose the right one? How to choose is worth it?
Ironically, no one knows the answer.
It's like "Schrödinger's Cat", because you can't know whether the other option is right or wrong.
So no matter how you choose, you will feel that you have chosen the wrong one.
This kind of dialectical thinking about gains and losses is the depth of Barry.
The irony formed by this dramatic conflict is the highest state of comedy.
