When talking about HBO's new drama "Ekaterina the Great" before, Lao Meng said that there are a lot of new American dramas that will be launched in October, but a few are must-sees, and one of them is for this article. I talked about the new Amazon drama that was launched on October 18th-
"Modern Love"
"Modern Love" should be the newest American drama fans labeled "must-see in October". This result is not hard to imagine. First look at its cast lineup to understand.
For example, the director, John Carney, who was named the best movie of 1997 by the "Irish Times" as his debut film, and later shot many successful romance films and television works.
is a child star. At the age of 13, she won the Sundance Film Festival's Independent Spirit Award for Best Newcomer nomination for her first film at the age of 13, and she participated in many American dramas with Douban ratings of 9.5+. She was featured in the new USA series "The Hacker Legion Season 4", which was launched on October 6.
and the cast is not to mention, the name alone is enough to explain everything.
Anne Hathaway, Andrew Scott, Tina Fey, Dave Patel, Andy Garcia, Catherine Keener, Sophia Podola...
made this bunch very well-known, Putting the actors in multiple classic works together is basically a hand full of cards.
If you have collected these casts, no matter which drama you put in, fans will be enough to watch them, not to mention the story of "Modern Love" is just as good.
scored as high as 8.6 when it launched on Douban, and the word of mouth is proper.
"Modern Love" only has 8 episodes in the first season, each episode is about 30 minutes, it is a little love drama model, it is adapted from a column of the same name "Modern Love" of the New York Times. The idea of the column
is also very simple, it is to "explore the complex emotional life of contemporary people, as well as the pain and joy of love."
And the eight stories told in this drama put their footholds on modern people. Different kinds of love experienced by different people.
Some stories may seem to fall into clichés, such as the second episode of "Some love must be lost before you can get it back", which has the flavor of "love in the series".
Some stories have the most real and cutting-edge thinking in the current society, such as the episode starring Mo Niang about homosexual people adopting children.
But one thing that must be remembered is: are all derived from true stories.
In these stories, Lao Meng wants to talk about something different, such as the story that made the audience's tears at the beginning.
To put it simply, this is a "my concierge is my male best friend" story.
Maggie is a long-term resident of an apartment. She graduated with a Ph.D. and is currently rated as a student by writing books.
Gu Simin is the porter of Maggie's apartment, but for Maggie, he is not only a porter, but also a bodyguard, a girlfriend, and even a little like a father.
He used to stay in a concentration camp, and he was very accurate, especially for the man who appeared next to Maggie.
Every time Maggie’s date can't escape his sniper scrutiny.
For example, Mark, Maggie and Mark’s date went well, but at the intersection, Gu Simin saw him. Gu Simin didn't say anything, so he called a taxi for Mark and sent him away. When
passed by with Maggie, he whispered "He won't call you".
Sure enough, everything is as good as oldMin said that Mark never appeared again.
Soon, Maggie is dating a handsome British man, his name is Ted.
This time, Maggie took him home, and Ted was indeed very caring, and would go out early in the morning to buy her breakfast.
However, Gu Simin still told her "Ted is not for you" on the internal phone, and said a lot of reasons.
Obviously, Maggie didn't believe it, and he was right again. After a long period of time after
, Maggie became another person, and Ted said that he was busy with work and had no time to meet.
Until one day, she found out that she was pregnant. For a while, she didn't know who to talk to about this matter, and finally chose Gu Simin. After crying, Maggie thought she couldn't marry someone she didn't love. Instead of suffering like this, it would be better to make a decision about the child in her belly as soon as possible.
But Gu Simin told her not to do it out of fear. She has the ability to choose the life she wants and encourages her to live alone.
Of course, Gu Simin's prediction was right again. Ted was terrified when he learned about the child. Obviously he didn't have the courage and ability to bear the changes brought about by the child.
Maggie also decided to raise the child by herself. From the first day of pregnancy, Gu Simin has been like a strong backing and has been helping and protecting Maggie.
He carefully collected the ultrasound photos of the child, and took the child back to the apartment gently, and he patiently accompanied the child to grow up. He would say good morning and good night to the child until Maggie moved out of the apartment for work and her daughter. To Los Angeles.
Five years later, Maggie and her new boyfriend returned here again with their daughter. Gu Simin is still here.
Maggie cautiously introduced her new boyfriend to Gu Simin. This time Gu Simin only glanced at him and said that he passed. It was also at this time that he said his so-called way of distinguishing good men for so many years:
"I never saw a man, but your eyes."
When you find that there is someone in your life who cares about you sincerely and silently, what a wonderful thing it will be.
In fact, many American TV fans are waiting for the show to go live, and a large part of them is to watch Anne Hathaway. The third story she starred in
, her appearance at the beginning gave people a kind of story. This story must be a modern and modern dream love story, but unexpectedly, it was only halfway through, and it was reversed.
Claesy is a person with bipolar disorder. Sometimes she can use endless energy, whether it is studying or working, it is always amazing.
(This woman who rides a bicycle is here again!)
She still has the idea that she can't stop. If she wants to buy peaches, she has to do it right away, paint a bright makeup, wear bright clothes and go to the supermarket to buy peaches in the early morning , Maybe you can meet different stimulation.
For example, this time, she met Jeff.
The two talked very speculatively, had breakfast together, and even made an appointment a few days later.
But on the same day, she returned home, but it seemed like a different person. She just wanted to lie in the bed, thinking about nothing, doing nothing.
As a result, she led to innocent absenteeism and lost several jobs. This time she missed love.
Jeff came to the door by appointment, but the person who opened the door to greet him was no longer the bright and funny girl I met in the supermarket a few days ago, but a lifeless "patient" wrapped in a brown coat.
The two finished the process of dating, eat dinner, eat dessert, and then take her home.
got downstairs and looked at Claisy, who was unable to fight. Jeff finally couldn't help but said that maybe he shouldn't bother her tonight, she didn't look happy at all.
Clancy did not dare to explain his situation, so he had to pass the flu.
Jeff obviously had no hope for the next date, and the two separated.
A few days later, Claesy woke up early in the morning and felt that everything was so beautiful. That's right, she was back, who was positive and optimistic.
thought of Jeff, and she immediately called him, regardless of whether it was 6 o'clock in the morning. She sent out a new invitation to Jeff, which was originally scheduled for tomorrow, but Claesy was afraid that she couldn't wait, and the other herself might show up sometime, so she set the time for tonight.
She happily cleaned the room, went shopping in the supermarket, and tried her best to erase the traces of her depression.
But the accident came ahead of schedule, and her mood suddenly rose after her makeup was halfway through. She couldn't control herself. Jeff had already arrived downstairs. He rang the doorbell again and again, but Claesy couldn't move and could only sit Weeping on the toilet.
Finally, the doorbell stopped and Jeff was gone, this time it was impossible.
After Jeff's incident, she was fired from the company because of her attendance.
On the day of resignation, the female supervisor saw that she was not in the right state and chatted with her for a long time. Finally, Claesy told her story in front of the female supervisor and burst into tears.
And this incident also became the beginning of opening her heart, she was finally able to face herself honestly, whether it was one or two.
She explained to her former boyfriend, friends who had lost contact, and the company where she worked for, that she was a patient with two-way disorder and put an end to her past actions.
Fortunately, whether it is an ex-boyfriend, a friend or a colleague, they all choose to understand, and Claesy is getting better every day. After watching the third episode of
, it is still a happy ending in general. In the play, Anne Hathaway’s description and interpretation of her illness is simply too subtle, and her costume show alone has reached a new level of beauty.
But in this story, it is no longer a simple love story, just like we did not see Jeff finally returned to Claysie.
It actually wants to say how a girl who is sick can overcome her illness, bravely talk to others, learn to open her heart, accept herself, and finally complete her own salvation. The climax of the story of
was when the female supervisor was chatting with the tightly wrapped Claire. She spoke to Claire from the standpoint of a friend, turning Claire from guard to relaxation, and finally released her atrium.
I really want to say that this episode of Anne Hathaway’s crying scene is really moving, when she said: "It looks like an elephant has taken a foot out of my chest." The feeling of being finally released over the years is fully expressed.
Her bipolar disorder seems to be far away from us. Indeed, there may not be many such serious manifestations of her.
But just imagine, is she just like every "social panic patient" around us just in terms of her frustrated and evasive side?
is inexplicably depressed, does not want to talk to others, just wants to close oneself, but suffers deeply.
In fact, we need to know one thing: all the secrets that can tell cannot be called secrets, and the pain that can be told will eventually be cured.Heal.
Compared with the real story, the protagonist of this story in the play is even more fortunate, because she has a friend who can understand her and guide her to take the initiative to tell. The true story of
published in the New York Times, "Claysie" started a long journey of self-healing after Jeff left.
went to a doctor and looked for medicine. After trying various methods, she finally admitted to the fact that she could not be cured, but fortunately she finally had a medicine to turn her mind.
With the help of drugs, she is no longer an enthusiastic "Claisie", nor a "Claisie" down to the bottom, but a stable state between the two.
This is what this episode wants to say. Regarding Jeff, maybe he will be a nice person that Claire missed, but we should be thankful that she finally bravely faced her true self and was willing to begin to believe in others.
From this point of view, what is certain is that her next "Jeff" will appear soon.
