After watching the first season in one breath, some of the upper hand, the energy has not passed.
This is a very cute American drama. It’s been a long time since I saw an excellent drama that can be described as cute. In recent years, the mainstream is to go to extremes, strong sensory stimulation, strong emotions, and tap the complexity of human nature. Of course, there are many boutiques. , But indigestion is inevitable if you look too much.
Seeing Ted Lasso at this time was like a breeze after a storm, the breeze was blowing, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
The story frame of Ted Lasso is exactly the same as that of another Korean drama that is also very good-looking, that is, Major League Baseball. The owner of the team deliberately hired a layman in order to destroy his team and waited to see him play dead ball. The team, as a result, the layman through a series of show operations, he insisted on giving the team a new lease of life.
The same meta story tells two completely different styles.
"Major League Baseball" is still a serious drama, and there is also a Shuangwen bridge segment that the public loves to see. After five stages, six generals, and finally a positive result.
"Ted Lasso" is a comedy, but it doesn't forcefully play it. It allows you to watch a piece of loose sand into a team in a brisk rhythm.
The storytelling and characterization methods of this drama are very simple, but very effective. All the characters present the bad side first when they appear. Coaches who don’t know anything about football, bosses with ghosts and flattering managers, You only know your star, the reporter who speaks with guns and sticks, etc. Everyone's first appearance on the game will give you a certain stereotype.
Then as the story progressed, everyone began to twist and show their other side, the cute side, it seemed to be embarrassing to show their talent, kindness, and vulnerability.
This is the best point of this drama. The reversal of each character before and after is presented through some small incidents. It is not procrastinated or sensational, so the whole drama always feels sunny.
And the protagonist Ted Lasso is the catalyst here. What he brings to the team is not advanced technical and tactical ideas, not strong foreign aid, but hope and trust, through hope and trust that is generally regarded as naive and hopelessly optimistic. The spirit of ism has infected the entire team.
This drama is like this. When everyone is digging into every dark corner of human nature, it tells you that everyone has a good side. Trust is good and hope is good. Don’t give up hope because of failure and become A cynic.
This is a positive-energy comedy without any preaching meaning. It may not be true enough, but it is beautiful enough.
ps. There is a segment in the play that impressed me very much. Lasso took the plastic soldier sent by his son to convey his blessings. When he gave it to the Nigerian player, the other party refused, to the effect that I took it with my heart. The idea may be different from yours, Lasso replied to explain, imperialism. Individuals can communicate with each other simply, clearly, and directly, instead of superficially, speculating on each other's motives behind the scenes. When the real dialogue unfolds in the sun, the misunderstanding and malice that rely on the shadow to grow will disappear.
