When I was watching the second episode of Modern Family, it was so weird, I forgot to turn off Windows Media Player, so I was playing a sixty-year-old jazz record, and as you can imagine, watching this The American TV series, the shaky pseudo-documentary-style footage, and the "soundtrack" that I didn't intend to do at all didn't fit the style of the plot, but it made me feel a little better about this film.
To be honest, there aren't many highlights in this movie. But this is a "typical" American family. A rich old man married a young and beautiful Colombian woman. The rich old man has a son who is gay; and a daughter, who sometimes worries that his father's new love will seduce his husband. The whole show revolves around these people and their children. Very American story, reminds me of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail ("Electronic Love Letter"), Hanks took his father's daughter and grandpa's son into Ryan's small bookstore , when introducing the two children to Ryan, Hanks said one last sentence: That's American dream.
The American dream in Hanks' mouth became the American Family of the show.
In terms of form, the pseudo-documentary form basically belongs to imitating the boutique gathering Office ("The Office") sought after by the big-handed Emmy Awards. This hand-held shooting method is becoming more and more popular today, or more and more TV productions. The actor started to act so cool. I even watched a domestic drama with my mother and was surprised to find that most of the scenes in that drama were hand-held, and they were held so unsteadily that I was so panicked that my eyes could not be seen. It hurts, I forgot what the show was called.
The show was also part of ABC's Wednesday Comedy Night, and was quite successful in terms of ratings, even surpassing Cougar Town ("Cougar Town") starring Courteney Cox. On the day of the premiere, the audience reached 12.74 million, with a rating of 4.3. The performance is quite eye-catching. And, ABC has announced a renewal of the comedy for a full 22-episode season. Also being renewed are Cougar Town's Cougar Town and The Middle's Way of the Middle. But in the comedy war with CBS, ABC seems to be lagging behind.
Let's remember these characters:
Joy & Gloria married for six months and one child;
Phil & Claire married for sixteen years and three children;
Mitchell & Cameron lived together for five years and one child, Lily.
Among them, JOy is Claire and Mitchell's father, Mitchelll and Cameron are gay, just adopted a girl from Vietnam named Lily.
Joy is accused of old cows eating young grass. Of course, it is indeed old enough and tender enough. Just married Gloria, a beautiful girl from Colombia, not very good with Gloria's son Manny, and a bit cold with his son Mitchell, you know , the gay thing. In the second episode, Manny, who worships his biological father, compares Joy with him at all times, and thinks that his biological father is a superman, but Joy is disgusted. Joy said: In fact, he is nothing, and the only thing he has in common with Superman is They all entered our country illegally (sarcasm illegal immigration). In the previous paragraph, Gloria asked Joy and Manny to repair fans together, but Joy was not happy. Gloria said that in their country, men are happy to do manual work. Joy said: I know, so people in our country pay them to do these jobs. (Sometimes discriminatory words also have a humorous effect)
