2020年11月15日，广西综艺频道还在播《英雄联盟》，拉低智商的抗日神剧应该永远封杀。广电总局不作为，不知道有没有追责制度呢？6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666

《Dickinson》

9.5分 扣掉半分以防今年第二季过于骄傲

Apple TV+的剧看到现在我认为最佳的一部

在这之前我认为最好的是

《The Morning Show》

(小声bb：

这两部本就应该是苹果理应能做到的水平)

A girl who can feel Death rather than God.

本来对人物传记作品不抱太大希望

但是这部剧从各个角度出发都真的太赞了

摄影的明暗光线真的绝美

第九集的日食场景吹爆

同时也让Emily和Ben的关系正式确立为

un-husband-and-wife后

Ben完成了作为Emily生命中的引路光线

在苍蝇飞鸣中向死神献祭了自己的生命

其次这部剧为了凸显主人公现代主义诗人身份

剧中运用了大量与传统手法不同的现代化配乐

这种反差风格其实也不算少见

但苹果在这里做到了自成一派

剧情满分

在基于Emily不同时期的诗歌风格的变化基础上

完成关键人物的出场 离开以及剧情的逐步推进

死神会愉悦的乘马车带着你出去兜风

也会在不经意间夺走你所珍惜和所爱

看完第七集之后自然蹦到脑子里这样一句话

Life is a circus, and you are the acting freak.

总而言之 强烈推荐 期待今年第二季

《刘老根5》今晚开播。剧中十二对CP都不消停，误会一波接着一波。第一对是刘老根（赵本山 饰）和韩冰（王娟 饰）。他们作为知己有许多共同语言，就是止步于朋友让人遗憾。第三对是药匣子和大辣椒（李静 饰）。虽然离婚，但心里还是惦记对方。第三对是老宋头（宋小宝 饰）和胡美慧（小豆豆 饰）。两个人开朗的性格很登对。但是杨大喇叭（杨树林 饰）也喜欢胡美慧。成三角恋了。

Feel Good is a low budget 6-episode TV show which mysteriously skipped my attention when it was first brought up by a friend: probably because it features no big star (Lisa is one, but in a small role), and British TV shows like Fleabag and Killing Eve have raised the bar very high now.

However, one night, I started to watch the first episode and was very impressed. The not so sub plot of addiction is so well-written. I really like it when Mae (its main character shares the same name with the writer and lead actor, which is a bit confusing) expands the definition of ‘addiction’: ‘it’s all the same feelings, craving, and withdrawl, and relief, and obsession. We are just swapping one addiction for another’. By doing that, Mae Martin (I will use the full name when referring to the creator) connects the love story and Mae’s struggle to stay clean together. Mae Martin challenges the audience to view addiction as not only a struggle among a group of people, but something many of us face when being in a toxic relationship with partners, or, say, social media. By then, I am convinced Feel Good is quite good because the creators know ‘nuances’. Its focus on addiction also reminds me of Killing Eve S2, the key word for its 2nd season is ‘obsession’. While both handle compulsive/toxic feelings between people/people and object, Killing Eve’s take on obsession is disappointing, Feel Good, on the other hand, only gets better episode by episode.

Story aside, I am mesmerized by how the show introduces the love story to the audience. It is fast-paced. As Guardian remarks, ‘Feel Good moves so quickly and lightly that it seems impossible it could also be managing to construct characters and burrow into psyches as deeply and empathically as it does.’ You never need to fast-forward; it’s densely-packed but you won’t feel stressful; the plots mingle effortlessly. It takes 30 seconds for Mae and George to fall in love with each other. I love how unconventional and unapologetic it is. I love how an LGBTQIA (bless Joyce) story focus on how the two lovers enjoy their relationship (at least for the most part) without giving too much attention to how they are unsure if the other is into them, or suffering from loneliness because they can’t find a partner. Of course the loneliness issue exists and there is suffering, but there are many representations of those already. Feel Good shows how the relationship can be the start, rather than the ending, of a story.

I also like how the struggles of Mae and George are more about themselves making choices than them being in disagreement with a suffocating society. It is refreshing to see not only Mae’s parents, but George’s mother, support their sexuality. Mae’s gig pals don’t make a fuss about her having a girlfriend. The roommate Phil is an angel. The lead of the support group is a gay man; Lava is loved by her mother regardless of her sexuality. While Binky’s husband and his friends are ‘piece of shit’, I don’t see them as homophobic (I could be wrong though). The show demonstrates that everyone can and should be nice to LGBT+ community. I like how Feel Good doesn’t use societal approval as a trope; instead, it allows us to see Mae and George as individuals who make their own decisions. Yes, sexuality is and will be important in their lives, but they don’t let it to devour them, they can still breathe.

The relationship is beautifully written and wonderfully performed. I mean THE CHEMISTRY!! Yes there is sex. As Mae Martin said, she didn’t want the lesbian sex to be voyeuristic. I congratulate her in doing a fantastic job!! Feel Good has amazing sex scenes: they are romantic, witty, hilarious, and honest. The director and writers make sure the sex scenes are not about sex/lust only, they are also about female pleasure. Mae and George communicate and share their sexual preferences; they don’t force their fetish on the other, instead, they ask politely. The show doesn’t mystify lesbian sex: even lesbians can’t cum and that’s ok! Feel Good has achieved what Sex Education has done: it has educated people (older than high schoolers) how to have sex, and more importantly, how to discern when the relationship is going south.

There are nudity scenes and they are (quite literally) serving the plot: it is when Mae feels most vulnerable physically. The paradox of the physicality and the personality is, however, not restricted to gay people. Mae is struggling because she believes however hard she tries, she can never have George in the long haul because George is ‘culturally straight’. George, however, insists this idea is just in Mae’s head. (Or is it?) It becomes apparent that the couple is not on the same page on many things. Mae is shy but she wants public validation of their relationship: she wants to be blessed by George’s family and friends. George is popular (win the lottery) but she is ultra private when it comes to Mae. She points out her friends just want to crack a joke and emotions (mind, not sexuality), for them, is gross. Eventually, George will have to face her own real emotions. There is a moment where Mae questions why George never like/retweet her social media stuffs. As Fleabag says ‘Hair is everything’, the (non)usage of social media, I argue, is (almost) everything. This again shows the discrepancy between the couple – which, of course, is normal; in every relationship/friendship, such disagreements happen and that’s what makes this show so relatable.

It is interesting to note that the dynamic between the two flows all the time. I find myself on the side of Mae and then I am on George’s side! For example, the first episode shows Mae concealing her addiction history from George, which is a bit dishonest; but George also makes Mae think she’s already mentioned her to her friends while actually she’s dating some Crenshaw dude. I find it especially interesting that while George is portrayed as a cold person (she leaves Mae alone in a party; she’s rather cold towards Phil etc etc), Mae can also be quite aloof – check what she does to Lava. When she says let’s not share this with Maggie, it is as if George were saying let’s not tell my friends now.

Talking about George and her friends, I really like how the show does about their friendship. It shows that those friendships, even though ‘long haul’, are not necessarily genuine. Indeed, things can be tricky, if not scary, when friends finally choose to be honest with each other, right?

Binky’s husband and friends are hilarious characters, but the show makes sure not all the male characters are caricatured. I like Phil a lot; he’s giving me the neighbor who ended up marrying Hannah’s boyfriend’s sister in Girls, especially when he’s mentioning all the baby stuffs. Mae’s dad is a charming character; but I am not sure if he’s a good dad. His ‘Oh I need to check the garden’ is a specimen of dad type, who leaves all the dirty job of communicating with kids to mums. The show also inserts in a MeToo story plot where things turn sour quickly. In all, the portrayals of male characters are multifaceted. Well done.

Last but not the least: small roles. Does the show even have small roles? Because everyone shines. Even the shop assistant of that sex shop: the scene is so funny and captivating. Lisa Kudrow is funny but in a cold way – which is really nice. I am not crazy about her first appearance in the laptop; seeing her appear in Blackpool is a real surprise for me (and Mae). I love the scene in Ghost Train the most. Arguing in a horror house/moving train, with all the noise and terrifying man-makes while discussing ‘real emotions’, which is the most terrifying of all – what a genius idea!! The fact that the show keeps vague about why Mae is cast out of the family is an interesting one; I quite like how her mother points out her privilege and that she has everything she wants when she grows up. Again, the show is looking at the mysterious and intricate human mind that is not so easily explainable. Apart from that, I don’t think there are a lot of TV shows that discuss ‘privilege’. Kudos to the writers for highlighting this aspect.

The photography is really pretty. It, like TEOTFW, has a consistent tone, which is even reflected when Mae and George are in bed. Note the beautiful blue shadow. The music is nice. The costume looks comfy and lovely (never let the costume steal the show– I’m talking to you, Killing Eve). My favorite, as I said earlier is the pace of narration. Mae has run a lot and it is a signature of Feel Good, like Fleabag’s looking at the camera.

Feel Good is about a female stand-up comedian. In the States, there is The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. Both Mae and Midge suffer from a backfire from they using real-life stories with their partner (judging from S1 finale, haven’t watched S2 yet). It is interesting to think how personal the stand-up mateials can be, but having just watched Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette, I am reminding myself that in order to make things funny, the ‘truth’ can be compromised. While Nanette is almost metafictional when Hannah approaches/disconstructs what makes comedy, I don’t think that is the angle Feel Good is heading towards. However, it is still fit to think about the show amongst the powerful works by Mae Martin’s fellow female comedians. The freshness of the show also reminds me of Girls (with its minute depictions of modern female life) and Fleabag (with its candidacy about real emotions). Feel Good deserves more recognition and PLEASE CAN WE HAVE SEASON 2 THANK YOU NETFLIX!!

个人觉得这是一部不错的剧情片子。电影的角色也刻画的不错，挪威国王在面对纳粹对国家的进攻、压迫的时候，表现的懦弱，害怕和后面国王作出了正确的选择形成了对比，真的是令人惊讶（我一开始还以为这只国王废掉了ーー；），除了国王以外，片子也从皇室成员、德国大使、士兵等多个角度进行了刻画，每一场会议，每一次战斗，真的是让人感到二战时期的那种严肃和悲哀。这算是一部“冷门佳片”了吧？我觉得，这部电影真的是和它所讲述的历史一样，冷门，但却精彩。还是推荐大家有兴趣可以看一下～

《蜗牛与黄鹂鸟》的意义比较大于实际，因为毕竟是接替质量不咋滴但是热度还不错的《幸福，触手可及》的档期，在前面一个收视率还算不错的剧集之后，紧接着要再续辉煌，所以，林允和张新成的搭配很有推陈出新的意味。

这部电视剧讲述了傲娇严肃的钢琴王子李臻言（张新成饰演）和脱线迷糊的钢琴怪才方小莴（林允饰演）相遇后，为了彼此成为更好的自己，克服恐惧并勇敢追逐梦想，相互影响相互提携促进的励志爱情故事。

《蜗牛与黄鹂鸟》脱胎于日本漫画，但不是每一个好看的日剧都适合翻拍。翻拍得成功不成功是一回事，更重要的是文化背景不同，你看日剧的时候觉得角色丰满可爱，拿到中文语境里你就是会觉得油腻突兀。

这次疫情我们每个人都感受到了医护工作者的伟大和民族强大的凝聚力。抗疫题材特别能赚观众的眼泪，但是这部电影似乎有些地方逻辑说不太通，当然我不在疫情一线我不太了解，只是探讨。

比如一个医院的医生在知道这是一个比非典还可怕的传染病的时候，居然不做好防护措施就去前线医治病人，当同事告诉他必须做好防护时，他以自己抵抗力好做说辞，是不是显得这个医生对自己对病患都不太负责任？还有一丝丝无知？

有病毒携带者的行踪不明，去查找病毒携带者的任务落在了一个医生身上是不是有点儿草率了？一线的医生护士都轮不过来休息，几乎连轴转了，他不在一线治病救人，他跑去墓地找线索是不是不太合理？

一名医生因感染新冠而抢救无效死亡，他那个作为医院院长的父亲走到他床边摘下口罩是不是不太理智？

以上三点都围绕同一位医生，允许有主角光环，但是也得合情合理才可以吧。题材给一颗星，给伟大的医护工作者的付出一颗星。

如果大家想看抗疫题材的影视剧，我推荐电视剧《在一起》。虽然我只看了一集，但是几乎每五分钟就让我泪流满面，为什么我只看了一集，因为真的太难受了。
