"If you can't help me choose clothes, what's the point of asking for a gay boyfriend?" Grace often asks Will, a handsome, elegant, but somewhat overly serious gay lawyer. Grace is his ex-girlfriend, a bewildered and charming interior designer. Since Will came out, she couldn't keep thinking of marrying him and became his best friend. They live together in a spacious and comfortable apartment in Manhattan, usually hugging, flirting, bickering, but not having sex.

From a certain perspective, "Will and Grace" is a new-age variant of romantic comedy-the hero and the heroine are separated not by distance, money, or status, but by sexual orientation. This gay male/straight female relationship is humorous because of the blurring of boundaries, and it even challenges the meaning of marriage. In "My Best Friend's Wedding", Julia Roberts's lovely gay boyfriend makes so many women envious. In fact, as early as half a century ago, novels such as "Berlin Story" and "Breakfast at Tiffany" were actually written about gay male/straight girls in tunes. Unfortunately, after being adapted into a movie, the suspicion disappeared. It's completely straight heterosexual in the sun.

Will and Grace also have two neurotic buddies-Jack, a coquettish and narcissistic gay, known as "GAY Da", gay men within a hundred miles can't escape his fiery eyes, he himself Then GAY to "Even dogs and dead people know that you are GAY". Karen, Grace's assistant, a fierce and neurotic rich drunkard, spends the rest of her time in the office except for drinking and shopping. She and Jack agreed that money, taste, and appearance are the only three important things in the world. Once, in a club that called on comrades to "change evil and return to the right", Karen cried out in shock, "God, look at these people, you don't have to be gay and you don't have to lose all your taste." She used her marriage as a long-term marriage. The typical prostitution is just a careless and funny way to dispel the tragedy. In fact, in this soap opera, all the embarrassments and problems that comrades have to face are all gently resolved by a way of gagging, otherwise it will probably die a long time ago.

Eight years ago, when "Will and Grace" aired on the first day, NBC executives were prepared to welcome an advertising boycott or a letter of protest from a right-wing Christian group. At that time, two men appeared in a soap opera. The gay protagonist is simply the opposite. Unexpectedly, "Will and Grace" was an instant hit, and it was broadcast for 8 years. Regardless of their sexual orientation, men and women seem to like to listen to comrades’ bizarre talks and jokes in front of the TV, such as "Can you imagine me doing 3P?" "I can hardly imagine you playing 2P."



Because of "Will" "With Grace", gay men have become popular in the United States, and every woman wants to find a gay boyfriend. They are smart, beautiful, considerate, full of fun, have first-class fashion sense, and are the best dress guides. They are happy to go to the kitchen to wash their hands and make soup. They have a keen appreciation for men and can see at a glance whether the man you are dating is the kind of "seagull" (Found noisy and rude)... When analyzing the "Will and Grace Phenomenon", "Times" said, "Men and women have been arguing for thousands of years. Nowadays, women are basically desperate to get love and sex from men at the same time, so They retreated to the safe embrace of their gay boyfriend."



"Will and Grace" won 17 Emmy Awards in 8 years, and each of the four protagonists won a statuette. Hollywood celebrities walked back and forth-Michael Douglas winked at Will, the gay godmother Madonna and Karen scuffled each other for a wretched man in the bar, and the first time Xiao Tiantian appeared on TV after production was hosting with Jack A funny kitchen show. As the first soap opera with gay men as the protagonist in the history of the United States, "Will and Grace" can be said to be GAY powerful. The shuttles between gay men with different temperaments are eye-opening, and they are also obliged to popularize GAY culture from time to time. Once, Karen introduced Will to her cousin who had just "come out", a "Hina GAY" who looked completely shapeless. Will and Jack suddenly felt obligated to conduct "We should gay it forward" on him. They took him to exercise, manicure, learn to dance, do hair, and know the gay terminology...

Poor cousin, comrade. Doing push-ups, I couldn't help complaining, "Are you guys so superficial? You only know your face and body?"

Jack said, "No, we only care about the body."

Before "Will and Grace", Americans had a stereotype of gay men that "they only care about sex", but "Will and Grace" was terribly conservative about "sex"-196 episodes of soap operas, none of them Comrades have sex scenes with swords and guns, and kisses are regular. The GAY bar they often go to is at least 20 years behind the GAY bar in "Sex and the City". All of them have neat suits and decent dresses, walking around drinking cocktails, and gentle flirting. They really live up to this slutty era.

In fact, "Will and Grace" has an ambiguous and vague attitude towards homosexuality. This soap opera does not reflect the hardships of gays in reality, does not involve any politically sensitive issues, such as AIDS, and does not give any moral support to the most controversial issue of gay marriage in the United States. "Will and Grace" is obviously not interested in wandering about homosexuality. Although the screenwriter Max Mucnik himself is a gay background, he has always emphasized that "Will and Grace" is about friendship. It just happens to be four. There are only two gay men in this protagonist. Screenwriters naturally have their own difficulties. "In order to ensure the largest audience, homosexuals must feel represented, heterosexuals must feel tolerated, not offended, and audiences need to laugh."

Gay groups in the United States originally counted on Will. Can become a homosexual image spokesperson, but the actor who plays Will is not GAY. As for Jack, although he is so ostentatious in the play, he still refuses to reveal his sexuality in reality. A well-known gay magazine and him The interview was unsuccessful for about eight years. As the homosexual research expert Eric Marcos said, "Will and Grace is a breakthrough, because of it, Americans fall in love with gay men, but like all imaginary soap operas, it is full of people. Painful clichés."

However, "Will and Grace" did drive the rise of a large number of GAY movies on TV. In 2003, Bravo TV Network launched the reality show "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy", a fashion group composed of five high-taste gay men, specifically to transform those who look sloppy and uninteresting. Men, teach many life secrets from beauty, gourmet diy, stylish home furnishing, stylish clothing, to public relations tips. Once this program was broadcast, no matter the straight male GAY male, they were all overwhelmed, and even caused a panic about the "gay aesthetic hegemony".

As for "Will and Grace", when the audience finally feels aesthetically tired of those cliche gay jokes, it should have retreated automatically.
