true power

I admit that I am really empty. When I am idle in class, I have nothing to do with it. I am numb when I surf the Internet. I started the first season with a skeptical attitude (the reason I have always resisted my old friends is that the 1994 was too long for 2 episodes to be a whole decade long series), only to find that Friends has completely subverted my love for it. Soap operas are based on the prejudice of sitcoms, and old friends are worthy of being a classic, and it can even be said that it is a microcosm of an era. It made me reconsider the actual value of cinema for me personally. I have always been paranoid that only well-intentioned films can truly leave a mark on my heart. Just like the artistic advantages of classics over contemporary literary works, I am very interested in The standard of measurement of text, video and all works of art is actually quite simple and superficial. Just like the obsession with biographies of great people in childhood and the desire for immortality, I think that what is easy to comprehend is popular, lacking in personality, and mediocre. However, now, when I, like all the old friends fans, were moved by the trivial joys and sorrows of the six people, I finally understood the power of sincerity. Compared with the recent American dramas such as GossipGirl, which became popular recently, Friends is simple, real and even mediocre. However, The shock it brings to people is not the concentrated release of a certain moment, but the implicit sublimation after the condensed bit by bit. It is this implicit and sexy expression that makes it stand undefeated in the changing decade.

As an aside, I remember being ashamed of my lack of proficiency in some important occasions, until I was awakened by a casual sentence from a friend: The most important thing is that you must be real. Rather than imitating others deliberately, it is better to show the most natural state, because only the true self can be liked by oneself and thus by others.

    This drama should always be number one in my heart. There is nothing happier than living in the same city or even living together with my girlfriend and brother.

    The first American drama in my life, this drama contributes a lot to the improvement of spoken English
