Even if there are thirteen reasons, it can't make me empathize

I was watching this unbelievable show, but I didn't think about this show that I saw a few years ago. After thinking about it, it should be the reason of the heroine.

Incredible (2019)

Intellectually, the heroine victims in the two dramas are for people's sympathy and resonance, but they can't resonate.

For a person, there is no need for thirteen reasons, just a few of them, betrayed by friends, raped, but at the same time there is a family crisis. Very likely. It's like I can't believe this show. The heroine was raped, but for some reason, she was "forced" to lie, causing everyone around her to distrust her and doing all kinds of harm to her, causing her to almost jump He, people feel that the suicide here is reasonable, and no one can survive as long as they are not strong. Here, just one reason is enough.

But just like persuading a person, if you give two or three reasons, it can't be convincing. Thirteen reasons can only make people feel that the argument itself is difficult to convince.

Except for the two plots of the heroine's suicide and being raped, it feels like a typical American youth school drama. Generally, it should be the protagonist's rebellious period. The troubles inside can't escape the typical troubles of American middle school students in American TV dramas. It is not as deep as glee. It feels like a puberty moaning for nothing, or to put it mildly, giving people a feeling like "forcing new words to say sorrow".

Also, the recording of the tapes and the suicide strike me as contradictory. People who can make tapes will not commit suicide; people who can commit suicide should not make tapes. But in a sense, doing these two things at the same time, and it is reasonable, can only be a high school student.

I don’t know if it’s because of cultural barriers, but some of the things in it, I really can’t empathize with them.

In Unbelievable, the raped victims, for this reason alone, and their performance in the play, you can understand that they chose to commit suicide, which is acceptable, because it is really a big blow.

And here, I feel that other reasons have diluted the pain of being raped. It seems that nothing else happened before. If there is only one rape, the heroine will not commit suicide.

Or part of the reason is the generation gap. When I was a child, no one was excluded or misunderstood. At that time, it felt like a big thing. Now, when I think about it, it is all a matter of children. So looking at the troubles of adolescence now, it's really hard to empathize with them. What the heroine feels is exclusion and loneliness. In extreme cases, it seems that it is unbelievable. It is very convincing. The situation of the heroine in a generation is unbearable when you think about it. It is a kind of despair. loneliness. But this drama, really, this kind of adolescence, or it will always accompany you for life, from time to time out of place, occasionally excluded, or unable to fit into the loneliness, everyone has it to varying degrees, and even lead to from time to time Suicidal thoughts. There is still a fundamental difference from that hopeless loneliness.

One is the loneliness of ordinary people, and the other is the loneliness of people who have experienced real disasters. After all, big disasters really happen to a few people, otherwise it would not be called a disaster. Because there are so few people, others cannot truly empathize, so only those who have experienced the same disaster can comfort each other. No one feels the same way about a cold and cancer. In my opinion, the troubles of this drama are really like a cold. Everyone experiences them, and they experience it very often. Generally speaking, when it is put into other dramas, it is easy to resonate. For example, in calm leisure time, everyone goes against their own Willingness to cater to others, this kind of ordinary experience can touch others very much.

But let people believe that this kind of experience will lead to catastrophic results, usually trivial + coincidence or trivial + bad luck, and such results are extremely rare.

In extreme cases, colds can also lead to death. That's what the show wants to convince us. The heroine screwed up everything. Generally speaking, there are two types of people on TV, one makes people feel sympathetic, and the other makes people feel they deserve it. As for what kind of heroine it is, it is up to the individual to decide.
