Douban 9.0, I'm already ecstatic just watching the beginning

In

's " Westward Journey ", the classic confession lines of supreme treasure touched countless people for a time.

But think about it carefully, there has never been a medicine for regret in this world, and God will not give a person two chances, but if you face some important moments in your life, you can rehearse in advance and keep NG, will the result be different? The same thing -

"The Dress Rehearsal" Season 1

The Rehearsal Season 1


Director Nathan Field, specializes in reality shows, and he directed "The Rescue Master", which scored 9 points or more in almost every season.

And this time, he is still open-minded, leading a construction team and a large number of actors to create a simulated "rehearsal" for the target amateurs to prepare for the most important moment in his life. The core concept of

is a play within a play.

For example, in the first episode, Black Cole, a lover of puzzles, but decades ago, on a whim, he lied to his friends that he had a master's degree.

As a result, the panic of speaking out is like water that has been poured out, and it will never come back.

Whenever he changed jobs, his friends would introduce him to a job with a high degree of education, but he was too embarrassed to shirk it, so he could only resist.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Cole decides to ask Field to help him in a confession game.

Some people may think that it is necessary to make such a big fanfare for such an ordinary thing?

Yes, for Cole, after the divorce, friends are very important to him, especially the object of this confession is the female friend he likes.

confessed to his friends that for him, it was like the final exam at the end of the same period.

Field first made a one-to-one restoration of a bar Cole often went to, and then invited an actress to play Cole's friend.

From every word the two of them said, every action, where to sit in the bar, what drinks to drink, and even down to what Cole would do if the confession failed, Field made careful arrangements.

He also sent an actor, in the name of inviting Cole's friend to write a blog, to communicate with her deeply and learn about her work, hobbies, habits and so on.

Because there was a quiz competition at the bar that night, Field told Cole the answer to the question intentionally or unintentionally in order to prevent Cole from making mistakes and affecting his performance.

, ​​for example, set the access code to "1789", and pretended to mention casually when telling the other party: " The French Revolution also started in 1789." , Surprisingly, the friend did not blame him, but comforted him, and the task was successfully completed.

"Rehearsal" 's plot is difficult to describe, because just talking about the setting will waste a lot of space.

But the amount of information in this film is huge, the time is extremely short, and Field's superb telling skills do not confuse and obscure the audience.

Obviously, rehearsing isn't about making you successful in a particular life event, it's about rethinking all the choices you make when facing life. In episode two of

, ​​Field hosts Angela, a 44-year-old woman who wants to get a taste of what it's like to be a parent.

In two months, she will experience a child from 0 to 18 years old. After that, she will consider real life, whether to get married and have children.

In order to let Angela experience life truly, the program teamShe was assigned children of each age group, and local laws stipulated that children should not work more than 4 hours.

So every 4 hours, Field has to change another child to go in and take over the baton seamlessly.

For this reason, Angela went on a blind date to find a father for the child.

But on the first night of "the child's father" arriving home, because the child was crying endlessly, the father ran away in a hurry, there was really no way, Field had to play in person and experience the feeling of being a father.

For a long time, Field and Angela's family life was a normal male and female.

Field does the manual labor and Angela takes care of the kids.

Because the time setting is only two months, the people who the audience sees have changed a lot.

The child is 3 years old outside the door this second, and 6 years old when he enters the room and then comes out.

At the same time, Field also installed a special mirror in the room, where he can see his aging self every day. Sims like

are like pulling a progress bar, full and full.

But Field, like most fathers, was an "invisible dad," with periods of absence from work.

By the time I meet my son again, he is 15 years old.

never thought that his son at this time was very rebellious, fighting, truancy, taking drugs, and even hating Field, and didn't want to communicate with him at all.

Obviously, the absence of parents has a great impact on children.

When he learned about his son's situation, Field burst into tears. At this time, the audience couldn't tell whether Field was acting or showing his true feelings.

There are constantly scenes in the film that remind the audience that this is just a fictional life played out in front of the camera, but it can bring the audience into a "real" situation in a short period of time.

Overall, this is part of a neurotic drama that is unclear whether it is a reality show, a documentary, or a feature film.

In the fourth episode, Field runs an actor training class, acting as both a mentor and a student attending the class.

He asked the students to find an amateur to follow and imitate.

He also disguised himself as a property and went in and out of amateurs' homes at will. The operation of

has indeed caused a lot of controversy. Although the
is a bit over the top, Field shows the audience who he really is. The documentary

is currently on Douban at 9 points . After the last episode was broadcast, the number of viewers on Douban was only about 1,000. The same is true for

in the United States, and there are not many people who commented on it on the IMDb platform, but most people will take the initiative to review Field's previous works after watching this documentary.

Someone said, "If you give me another chance, I will definitely try my best to grasp it;

If I didn't give up easily at the beginning, my life may be different now; I will definitely not leave too many regrets in my life."

Many times, some people blame the disappointment of reality on the regrets of the past, and often fantasize about various "what ifs", but there are some endings. At that moment, it has already been decided, and there is no going back, nor can it be changed.

In fact, the regrets of the past, to a certain extent, are also making you who you are now.

If you have been addicted to the past and can't extricate yourself, it will only consume your energy and move forward tiredly; but if you can get some inspiration from regrets, maybe your life will change.will be very different.
