In 2014, if it wasn't for the prompt of a certain Weibo, I would not have thought that this year would be the 20th anniversary of "Friends". When I clicked on that Weibo, the background was a photo of them holding hands for the curtain call; there were its fans, who worked tirelessly. They have been brought to me in 20 years; the comments are still its fans, calling friends and friends to see every Weibo. I always knew that it would have a lot of fans, but I still didn't expect them to keep themselves and it so intact.
I thought more than once that if I had encountered it earlier, from the very beginning, then all my fantasies and trusts about friendship would be because of it, and maybe even my first fantasies about love. will be because of it. The first time I encountered it was in high school English class. After the English teacher gave us some American dramas to pass the time, I didn’t know much about American dramas at that time, and I couldn’t imagine that American dramas were serial dramas that had a season every year. It was an episode of playing football in the play. We laughed and laughed while watching the subtitles. In the old Chinese and English subtitles, the students were recognizing the words they knew, and they were a little proud anyway. My interest in English was mediocre at the time, it was ridiculous that in the best middle school in the city, I spent my time in English class carelessly, and 3 years later, I was in a popular university, trying to watch "Friends", practice listening, remember words, and fight for the fourth and sixth grades. It's been with me through the first and last years with English.
During the summer vacation of my junior year, I watched the last episode of it in the house and felt extremely lost. I fell on the bed and my tears flowed silently - I don't know what I was crying, it started as early as more than ten years ago , which ended a few years ago. All of this happened without my knowledge, my tears were like kites that cut off the thread and forgot to fall in the air meaninglessly, but I just gradually felt like I had completed some kind of ritual, etc. When I have the patience to read it from start to finish, that's when I really want to write something about it.
Every scene of the first episode is vividly remembered. In the Central Park Cafe, Chanlder is gags, Joey, Monica, and Phoebe seem to be listening intently. Ross walks in and tells the story of being abandoned by his gay wife, joking that he wants to do it again. Married once; Rachel escaped and ran in, Chanlder wasted no time in humouring, Monica was very interested in saying that you didn't invite me to your wedding, Joey should only care about Rachel's chest or hips, Phoebe was out of the world, playing a heart-wrenching sound. Ridiculous song.
Like Monica's sentence that needs no introduction: This is everybody, everyone's personality is fully revealed in the first act, the wonderful characters and plots, full of laughs, have made the enduring "Friends", it has become a laughter. The favorite of people who are high and picky, it has become an artifact for people with low smile points to exercise their smile points. But no one will forget that it was also the one that made people cry.
After removing the fact that they are all funny, let's take a look at what they are.
Perpetual motion - Monica: Energetic. Character knife mouth tofu, tough on the outside but soft on the inside. I often feel that if there is an urban elite among girls, it must be her. (It turns out that in an episode of the pk of the poor and sour party vs. the rich party, Mo is indeed the party of Bai Fumei) She is energetic, decisive and brave in deciding things, hard-working and practical, and her parents' preference for Ross caused her to be competitive. Character, the reason why she doesn't make people think she's a big woman, I think it's entirely because, in "Friends", everyone has a childishness of everyone.
If you don't complain, you will die. Chanlder: The top of the childish rankings. If you don't complain, you will die. like. His vicious tongue will not be misunderstood as mean, he makes fun of his companions, like a super terrifying star who is full of jokes. But he is actually an insecure and innocent child, filling in the blanks around him with all his words. I think children who are always alone in their childhood will be like this. They are afraid of blankness, quietness, and embarrassment, so they would rather talk to themselves and talk to the self in the air, afraid that when the dialogue stops, the real self will appear. prototype.
Princess Cinderella - Rachel: Rachel used to be an authentic white and rich beauty, with big breasts, no brains, no skills, she looks simple and stupid, and she spent her father's money with no heart and no heart. She wanted to continue to spend her husband's money. When money was heartless and heartless for a lifetime, it seemed that he suddenly woke up. Rachel is confused and carefree, but she is beautiful and sexy. At first, she was an eldest lady who rarely cared about other people's emotions, but then she became more and more independent. She was a Cinderella and a princess. She could wear slippers to the ball even if her glass slipper was broken. This is Rachel.
Living Fossil-Ross: Ross is the character I liked at first. He is serious, warm and simple, and has no regrets. He is most pleasing to people like me. He's the type of person who, at first glance, feels like a perfect fit for a rigorous, boring job, and he is. His excellence brought a lot of pressure to Monica since he was a child, and Monica's provocation made him always fail repeatedly under the appearance of seeming to love his sister. Although his cunning and weakness in his relationship made me less favorable later, his attitude towards his ex-wife and son still added a lot. He is a typical image of a little man. reality.
Gypsy Girl - Phoebe: A wandering singer who can't sing ivory with a guitar, it should be Phoebe. Like a gypsy girl who always has a miserable and mysterious style, so does Phoebe, with a bizarre background, a bizarre twin sister, a younger brother who is looking for her to be a surrogate... Phoebe always spends this kind of life, fortunately There are friends, there is Mike, there is music, there are so many things that show the goodness and beauty of Phoebe. When I was reading Sanmao, I often didn't believe that a person could do everything for a stranger, but Phoebe is also such a person.
Old kid——Joey: Joey is like Peter Pan, and he is also the No.1 childish person among the six. He likes his profession, but he has always been quiet and nameless, and he has been brilliant for a while, but his luck is still not the best. He likes his roommate, but the roommate eventually grows up and can't be naive with him. He has liked many girls, but he has not been able to find a long-term and stable relationship. He can only propose to his best friend and return it twice, because if it was them, he might not be willing to say goodbye. It's been ten years, and the writers don't seem to know what to do with Joey, so he's become the old child of all audiences.
After adding that they are all funny, let's take a look at what they are.
In my opinion, in Friends, Chanlder, Joey and Phoebe should have their own dense laughs, but Friends is still the chemical laughter between the two, and the joyful atmosphere when the six are together, which is my favorite. To cherish and miss, laughter needs to be collected and cherished. Cai Kangyong said: I cherish people's natural sense of humor more than many things.
Monica's laughing points focus on the fact that she used to be a fat person, her amusing family, and she has serious cleanliness addiction, control, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc. Her cleanliness addiction is so serious that she rushes to a stranger's house for cleaning, her anxiety disorder When one commits a crime, everyone suffers. Rachel's detachment from reality and her illogical brain circuits often lead to hilarious laughter. The most amusing thing about Phoebe is her uncontrollable, unpredictable, unpredictable, and unparalleled eloquence. Smelly cat should be the only catchy song for her as a singer, but this does not prevent her from creating lifelike and off-line creations. Phoebe can always distort the discussion in the circle of friends to Java, but at the same time you have to admit that sometimes you just eat her logic.
I think Chanlder's mouth skills are the best among the six. There is a difference between mouth skills and eloquence. Mouth skills are a more giggling kind of amusing behavior. He is a dead star if he doesn't complain, and the closer his friends are, the more merciless he is. Chanlder, who is easy to be mistaken for gay,'s teasing behavior in picking up girls is mainly concentrated in vain and perpetually nitpicking. Of course, his jealous rivalry with Joey and the huge variety of weird female companions are also a joke for thousands of years. At the same time, his childhood was also full of laughter. His wonderful parents created the most insecure child. He made everyone amused and he couldn't amuse himself. Ross's seriousness is like all good sneerers: the laughs are brewing even more amusing under his serious expression, Ross' stammering way makes him seem cute when he's defending things, and of course the childish gestures he invents Friends is a classic. Joey's joke is gluttony, forgetfulness, and ignorance. Joey is an out-and-out foodie, carefree, a little developed and simple-minded. He is always in a daze, can't figure out the situation and is full of jokes. The most classic scene is that he carries a knife and fork with him and can sit down and start eating at any time. He is also a big stomach king, and the look of feeding is too cute. And Joey is very forgetful. He has countless hookers but always only uses his lower body to fall in love. Playful but simple, it seems contradictory, but that's Joey.
Friendship PART
"Friends" is warm, and the warmest is always the friendship that goes beyond love and family. It made me realize that family may not be the final transformation of the three, but friendship. In ten years, at all important moments, they got together to spend; when they complained, they listened patiently and gave advice, although often harmful and unhelpful; when they were unlucky, they were willing to give you a hand after laughing; In times of frustration, they sincerely comfort you but have used it as fodder for slandering you in the future. This kind of friendship mode can be regarded as the best friend.
Monica, who looks tough but is actually kind-hearted, endured the preference of her parents and the excellence of her brother, and the fact that she was still a fat man, grew up silently, and silently became what she is now; silently endured Rachel's eldest temperament, and took in her without even a wedding. Invite your own Rachel; silently endure the behavior of the tongue-in-cheek kid next door and the ultimate foodie parasite. This is Monica who became the center of friends. In the final episode, Chanlder said that he would leave a room for Joey in his future home for retirement. After Joey learned that Phoebe was pregnant, he knelt down and proposed marriage without thinking; Bit by bit....a popular saying is that good friends are meant to be each other's bridesmaids or best man, they even become pastors, witnesses, matchmakers, even grooms and brides.... .. which undoubtedly surpasses all the feelings in the world.
Although the name of the love part
is "Friends", there are two couples in the six-person line that eventually become dependents. In terms of love after a long time, it is promoted with a plot that is not pretentious at all. It is a transition from the stage of friendship and above to the stage when the lovers are not full to the ripening of grapes. Excellent example.
The twists and turns of C&M
Monica and Chanlder are the warmest gifts from friends. Like a mother subduing the most naughty child in the world, the process is thrilling, and the ending makes people want to cry. When Chanlder says out loud that he loves Monica, I can't help but wonder if the writers were originally set to go this way? Otherwise, why do we all have a sense of steadfastness that we should take for granted. Monica's proposal, marriage, honeymoon, infertility, all the processes are heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching. I'm afraid that two careful people will not move forward when they reach 999 steps, but they are unexpectedly smooth and happy. This drama once made me think that Americans have been having affairs, cheating, and cheating all their lives, and it also made me finally believe that Americans, like us, believe in love and respect love.
R&R
Someone once said that what's really sexy in a man's eyes is when you think you can trick this woman into bed. Rachel is like this. Rachel's growth experience in friends is the most complete. There is a new Rachel every season, Rachel who constantly corrects her life track and Rachel who slowly returns to the right track of love. Confused, duplicitous and irritable and confused, she is a genuine sexy blonde, like a silly chick who appears in many American movies, born to love and be loved, constantly questioning herself, putting her heterosexual relationship and life into question. When it's all messed up, the prince will show up, waiting to give her a kiss. So I never doubted that Rachel would be happy in the end, that's what she deserved.
Eason's "Best Bad Friend" sings: When you are a friend for one day, you are a friend for life. Maybe in a short lifetime, you can't find the best friend; maybe TA once appeared and disappeared forever; or maybe you are looking forward to TA's appearance and company. In the ten years of Friends, we are like meeting the six of them, and it is like meeting all the old friends and fans scattered in the crowd. In fact, we already have many, many best friends. Special friends come together.
