Whose skin

Hugh 2022-10-18 16:15:05

The American drama was broken, and a new British drama The Inbetweeners was opened. It was a small-scale American pie, full of excrement and ass, but the smile was mediocre, and I thought Skins was really good.

"Skin" is well translated, and it doesn't give people any chance to think of the spirit. So the young people on the screen party, make love, and knock drugs, constantly highlighting the functional role of the body, inflating like a balloon, what is inside? Only knowing that emotionally full of inevitably hurts others, sensitive inevitably hurts oneself, empty but not necessarily meaningless. I like to spend a lot of time in S1 to introduce the problems and limitations of the characters one by one. This kind of skin is real and more youthful than the self-proclaimed youth and invincible gossip girl.

It took a long time to watch the last two episodes of S2, because I didn't want Chris to die, so I thought it was too Korean drama. This wretched-looking boy has now become my favorite character in the play. The wretchedness is only the first two episodes of S1. The language is untimely and the dress is too ridiculous. It seems that his mother ran away in the third episode, and he has already begun to understand the serious hollow and off-line expression on his face. Although in the end his face was still ecstatic and ugly, but it is said that Chris has evolved into a familiar man at this time, and it is estimated that not many people oppose it. The role of Angie and Jal is absolutely important, but unfortunately Chris' self-destructive tendency is too deep-rooted (I don't know if it can be called self-destructive hedonism, it is rare that he is very high all the time), no one can hold it. There were a few moving moments: 1. The moment when he told Jal about the quilt; 2. His mother left, Cassie found him crying, and then pretended not to know who was there; 3. Jal's speech at the funeral, to the effect of the child’s face Too many right, constantly watching the ground parachuting.

The second favorite character is Sid, because he is not beautiful, looks very hazy, and wears very cartoon, especially the big dog shirt. Because of the absurd four-corner love image at a discount. His problems are comparable to those of Chris, but this kid has a neutral and silly virtue. He is at a loss and can do nothing. Whether life or death, love, choice, or abandon is passive, it has something to do with being at a loss? Let’s talk about feelings. I suspect that he liked Michelle because of Tony's influence. He liked Cassie out of guilt. Michelle took the initiative in the middle of the toss. Isn't it Tony's plan to go to NY to find Cassie in the end? This quality makes Sid so lovable, how many people can guarantee that they are always decisive? Sid is like a shadow, which is very worrying, but at least on the surface, he will always be safe and unharmed. So it is virtue.

Thirdly, I like Tony, because he is beautiful and not handsome enough, so British style will make up for it. There should be no objection to saying that the actor is the biggest player in it. The boy played the boy man with Uncle Hugh Grant when he was very young, and later became the son of Uncle Nicolas Cage in the weather forecaster. Naturally, Tony is also the strongest in the role. The conditions are good, and he thinks he can afford to lose, but it may not be. The transition between the strong and the weak in S1 and S2 is a test of the actor's skill, but fortunately, he did a good job. In S2, Tony returned with a magnificent appearance, the script was brilliant, the conception effort was very deep, and the crew worked together to act like a master. Later, Tony became a more responsible person.

In female characters, Michelle and Jal are not very good because of their looks. Jal is okay. He didn't dress up as a beautiful woman. I guess there are many people who don't like Michelle. The two of them are pragmatic at the critical moment, worthy of being girlfriends. There is no blame for this. Everyone has the right to make self-interested choices, not to mention that they are also full of emotions. I feel a little more complicated about Cassie. In S1, I think this girl who is full of "wow", "lovely", anorexic, curly hair, and chiffon can not get out of her body jumps up very well, like a sensitive little fairy. After I got there, I felt that Ya was convulsive, still very Bitchy's kind (better than Tony's idiot). If self-injury can still be called pitiful, then you can destroy others if you don’t get it, not just convulsions. What is bitch? Although she was very nice to Chris in the end, I just hate that she pretends to be all-knowing and all-seeing in front of Jal. But it's just a little girl who often looks down on tossing. I have been coveting the girl Maxie (sorry forgotten the name), and what I said to Anwar at the end was very profound and touching.

Maxie and Anwar's play is relatively weak. But these two characters are indispensable for the "skin" years. They played fiercely and sometimes embarrassingly at parties, but they always support the vague power in your memory. In addition to sexuality, Maxie is handsome and Anwar looks a little weird. It is unknown for tomorrow. Although Maxie seems to have a longing, Anwar has always been muddled, but the moment of jumping on the train still retains the last trace of transcendence for the show.

Skins are very real, and their reality is portrayed on the body of unbridled youth, but in the end, it is impossible not to place reality on some more stable and reliable reality like any youth film, so the body gives way to a more rational body. lifestyle. It’s just that I’m not sure, which of the two states is closer to the numb body state?

Therefore, I believe that the protagonist of S3 will have a big change, and we will see a new generation of boys and girls mainly Effy. Even the stories of Tony, Sid, Cassie, Michelle, etc. who are still alive are running out. I just hope that the most star-like Effy can stick to the style in S3, and don't turn to the fan of a punk rock girl.
