今天和朋友抱着吐槽国产恐怖片，看看结局究竟是做梦还是幻觉或者是精神病的，满满看笑话的心态去电影院看这部电影的，但是没想到这次真的撞“鬼”了！！

这部电影有两条线，一条明一条暗，明线很简单一条悬疑线，如果光看这条明线可能这只是一条槽点满满国产恐怖片，可是编剧很狡猾的在明线之中埋了一条暗线，使“鬼”真实存在并且完美解释了故事所有的“不合理”估计这次广电审核的工作人员要被公报批评了。

这部电影在我看来是到达及格线的，第一恐怖氛围营造的不错，第二，剧情跌宕起伏有一定悬念，主角虽然也有愚蠢行为，但是也就是在最后发现问题选择自己解决的心态上，绝大多数时间的恐怖和危机都不是主角故意作死推动的，第三，笔仙线，这条线成了整个故事的精华，让它没有沦为“国产垃圾恐怖片”的行列

当然这部电影也谈不上是多么优秀的恐怖片，只能说是一部进入恐怖片大家庭的合格恐怖片（当然啦能在大荧幕上看到这种恐怖片也不容易）恐怖氛围是有的，拍摄手法看得出借鉴了不少国外经典恐怖片，但是也是用心的那一种

总结一下这部电影，恐怖是有的，每次天黑都有惊悚的感觉，故事是说的通的，对讲机以及打电话的设定也很不错，如果你想在大荧幕上看一部恐怖片我是推荐这部的！至少它是一部合格的恐怖片

"No more bottles and no more wall .." But I have you by my side.

目前最喜欢的一集。无论是看故事，还是联想这俩搭档本人，都是泪光闪闪。

Tommy在Len的葬礼上、把回避30年的爱和恨，都通过他表面上最漠视，其实内心最有归属感的“演出”，一一抛出，又一一和解。有意思的是，故事前面似乎Tommy是那个并不太搞笑，丧失演出热情，最终抛弃朋友，抛弃过去，走向世界冷漠之巅的人；而后半段又写出是Len因为酗酒毁掉了他们的组合，勒死了Tommy的梦想。

但外表高冷，事业全球开花的Tommy，还咬着Len还欠自己25英镑？他种种鄙夷曾经的创作，自己却完全没忘任何台词，就连当年Len抢风头的每一节点他都记得清楚，并且耿耿于怀。各种细节都表明Tommy其实相当在意他俩曾经的演出经历，时间的漫长并没有为他的心结解决任何问题，回避的过往适时还是要翻江倒海且历历在目。

Len表演独自被摸大腿那会儿，Tommy就很气地说，看吧你根本不需要我，你自己一个人就很搞笑；片尾Len女儿进来也对Tommy说大家完全没有期待他在葬礼上的表演会好笑什么的。可见Len才是他们搞笑组合的灵魂人物，但Len自己并没有这么认为。什么时候他们都是一荣俱荣一损俱损的一体。他无家可归的时候也没有向Tommy求助，只是希望Tommy能在自己身边，一同享受创作、演出的乐趣。

这年头真的是姐弟恋大火的时候，套路其实还是比较俗套的，姐姐事业有成，弟弟也不差，一切都是完美的组合，虽然俗套，但是大家看下来也还是很上头。这里面我看到了40+女性的勇气。女性在生活里中会面临很多东西，事业，家庭，爱情，亲子关系等等。很多东西会无法平衡。康子由和妈妈的冲突看得我想到了现实中的种种。愿30+的我，有勇气面对生活里的困难与挫折，愿未来40+的我，有勇气做出人生的选择题，不后悔。加油(? ??_??)?

本来就很喜欢航空，冲着主题看了半集，令我感觉重温一下冲上云霄，

……

差别不是一点半点，

女主自己迟到还吐槽机长，编剧认为这样的职业素养是正面的？

吵着下飞机的乘客现实中根本不会有，编剧是活着80年代吧，现在普通搬砖工都理解晚点的意思，一个出国谈生意的老总会这样？……

麻烦国产剧编剧门槛提高一下，太次了

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!!

新导演都已经这么卷了吗?

虽然是个非常稀松平常的老百姓故事，但故事节奏拿捏准确，镜头和配乐相得益彰，表演也没什么瑕疵，非常得分，我个人很喜欢，五星奉上。

这部电影给我最致命一击的并不是女主奔命般的生活节奏，而是女主主动亲吻黑人的举动，这是向生活妥协的表现，这也是——自轻的表现，这个画面为故事锦上添花了。

想起我一未婚闺蜜曾对离异的特殊见解，她当时说：

如果我离婚了，我会把孩子留给前夫，原因有三——孩子也是他的，也有他的血脉，如今这个年代了，无论他如何再婚，也不至于允许别的女人怠慢自己的血脉，即使在我自己手里养育，也不见得完全没有小磕小碰，也无法保证毫无端水问题(万一再婚再生)，这是其一。

其二，主体是孩子，不是我自己，更不是他，一切以谁更能保证孩子的生活保障、教育条件为主要决策方向，不必因为孩子这个主体之外的什么七七八八的原因而让孩子跟着自己受累(好比没人养老这种老旧说法)。

其三，所谓母爱不见得只有亲自喂饭/穿衣/陪着睡觉等照顾性内容这一种形式(一些高级职业女性即便每天归家也并非做到了)，而每周坚持去见见孩子、陪陪孩子、跟孩子一起畅玩、带孩子吃好吃的、常买礼物给孩子...等等，同样也可以给孩子留下相对快乐的童年氛围，曲线母爱难道就不是母爱吗？

她还说：

如此一来，我自己不但能好好的、专心的工作，挣好该挣的钱，轻松驾驭自己的时光，也能更好的开始新的恋爱或婚姻生活。她补充到：或许在普通人眼里，这是一种自私的决定，但我认为是三赢，每个人都是独立的个体，每个个体都会面对不同的生活挑战，谁说不离婚就一定没有生活挑战？挑战内容不同罢了。

当时对这个逻辑耳目一新，对她竖起了大拇指，赞叹她有这种听起来非常清醒但又相当理论的表达，并笑着说“可能是因为咱们现在未婚未育，等咱们结婚生完小孩可能就不这么想了吧，否则，你看身旁哪个离异母亲放弃过小孩的？”，“不会的，我真这么想的” 她接着强调的说。

今天，看完这部电影后，我准备重新再问一次刚生完小孩的她的答案，甚是好奇。

It’s about journeys, adventures, magic, of course, treasure and love. All kinds of things really, I suppose it’s about quests, to a certain extent. the journeys we take to prove ourselves, about courage... Fellowship, it’s about fellowship, friendship...

Little people just like you. Little in stature, not little in spirit. it’s about wizards, too, mountains, dragons, journeys...

昨天，一个影视圈的朋友和我说，爱奇艺要上一部类似 Legal High 的网剧。

好吧，一般这么说，其实就是本人在爱奇艺看到了。

恰逢其会，这两天在看桑德尔的《公正》，再到今天的《人间规则》，相似不止一处

下面就说一说。

哦，对了，本人毕业于国内某三本院校，文辞若有不佳，就当狗 拉 屎。
