Skins take you to trample on the wild world

Skins happened at an interesting age. 17 years old. As one of his unwelcome relatives said at Anwar's 17th birthday party, he drove over and spent a lot of money to attend the coming-of-age 18th birthday party instead of just a 17-year-old. 17 years old is a young and unreliable age, not naive or mature enough. But the 17-year-old in Skins is a world that can only be seen here even if he spends his entire life.

Everyone needs to wear various masks in front of others. Tony in Skins, as the main beam, wears these masks in turns. He is not only good at playing with his sister in front of his parents, but also able to dance with long sleeves on campus with a good look and a good singing voice. The most important thing is that he knows how to use a bad word to catch a girl's heart. After Tony enjoys all kinds of prosperity, he finally returns to his essence as a little boy. It is like removing his makeup after a gorgeous performance. After his mask melts, he is seen through. The rose in his hand is just a paper petal shared by everyone. He is unique. His jokes are not in the range of everyone's tolerance. His proud body can be beaten and broken into rottenness. In the end, he only asked incomprehensibly. Isn't this what you always wanted? But he will get an answer, which is "fuck off". Tony will be confused by this, but he will not be beaten. His mask still needs to be worn, his makeup still needs to be removed, and he still needs to find his only girlfriend. Something called first love that ordinary people need to spend decades reminiscing about, Skins makes this thing muddy and not stained. This is just the first resonance of Skins to make the audience respond.

The most prevalent thing in front of people is not only masks, but also something called experimentation. In the beginning, people weren’t used to the novelties, so they followed the rules, loved the people they had always loved, dreamed the dreams they had been dreaming, and had the same reaction even when they saw the same person. Skins made these people subvert from episode one to episode nine.

Sid finally didn't fall in love with Michelle, but fell in love with Cassie, whom he had always ignored. Michelle finally stopped seeing Tony and hugged her. She punched Tony in the face, then tried several men, and finally learned to cry in the bathroom listening to Tony's confession. Tony finally didn't gloat at anyone's misfortune. He would be really anxious for his sister or friend, and he could bow his head towards his enemy, just to be the good brother or friend he always wanted to be. Chris finally stopped just walking behind others, he learned to actively pursue Angie, who was a little older than him, and succeeded in winning the hearts of others. Cassie finally didn't just worry about the food, she also had a boy she never forgot. When she was sitting on the bus instead of looking at the word "EAT" but thinking about a boy's face, she was extremely beautiful. And my favorite little gay, Maxxie, he can finally avoid being sexually discriminated against by his Muslim friends, and walking into the sight of the Muslims under the title of gay, his smile is more beautiful than his melancholy appearance, he The brave appearance is more beautiful than the appearance of avoiding him. I just want to say that transcendence is a kind of victory.

When the families of these people have experienced conflicts or traumas, or turned upside down and still don't know how to reflect on themselves, the children are gradually growing up. Therefore, the dumbfounded scenes of parents are everywhere on TV, and children have become the dominant players for a time. This does not refer to the general plot of "Home Alone", but the usual way of thinking in family relationships. When the parent and the child change positions, the schoolwork that the child has not progressed to is not so terrible. It is not a matter of the sky falling down if the child does not return all night, because the final outcome will be borne by both parties. Maybe the sky will fall apart after the end, but even if the innocence collapses, parents and children will bear it together. The nature of human beings is an animal, and the starting point of an animal is only family affection.

Skins seemed to strive to be true, so they kept "fucking", they also kept indulging in sexual intercourse and hallucinogens, and they did not repent of the absurd part until the end, because young is the age of stubbornness. When the first season was about to end, Sid began to sing, and the singing turned around. Tony, who was lying on the ground with pale and bloody lips, also began to sing. I suddenly had the urge to laugh and cry at the same time. They are singing: "baby, baby, this is a wild world, it is difficult to deal with just by smiling. Baby, baby, this is a wild world, I will always remember your innocent appearance."

I don't think 17 The beginning of the year is the beginning of everyone, and I don’t think that the end of the 17-year-old is the end of everyone, it is only a process of having fun. Skins didn't perfect this process. Because of this process, you know how warm and cold you are.
