摩登家庭第四季

         因为是TBBT在艾美奖强有力的竞争对手，所以我才看了这部剧，结果把四季一气看完，捧腹俯仰之间，更觉得一种温暖的幸福感。

         故事的人物设定其实是一群很普通的危险关系：老夫少妻且异国恋的相处，继父与继子的相处，离婚后与ex的相处，中年夫妇的相处，一群年纪相仿的孩子相处，领养父母与孩子的相处，最大亮点——一堆男同夫妇同居后的相处。
       
         这些显然都有潜在高危因素，因为文化，血缘，年龄，普世观念很容易有“火山爆发”的危险。结果在这样一个家庭里能相处地如此和谐、幽默，不得不赞一下机智的编剧，人物设定下，让人看了觉得真的可能，且倍觉温暖和不易。
        
        我想，这也是这部家庭喜剧甩一众家庭喜剧几条街的原因。

        很多人说这部剧还玩了个小聪明，就是采取伪纪录片的形式来讲故事。
        
        的确，既增加了幽默感，也增加了真实感，但是要知道这要冒一个很大的风险，就是流于平淡，很少有人能坐下来，一下子看完四季的纪录片就是这个原因。编剧从塑造人物性格到凸显人物性格丝毫不露痕迹，甚至可以说渐臻佳境，让人迅速代入角色而不自知。
       
        特别想说的是就是Jay和他的一对儿女，Jay就是控制欲强，喜好竞争，不善表达情感，并且或多或少遗传到Clare和Michle身上。

        而且这种遗传其实放之四海而皆准，让人不禁想到自己的父母，从而生出不能再多的认同感，这一点我觉得在其他致力于塑造鲜活个性的家庭喜剧上并不多见，即使有，也很难做成一个亮点。

        不得不提的是M&C这对夫妇，这也是我对这部剧想写点什么的原因：
        
        可以说，这部剧让我重新认识到同性恋的爱情，之前很少看到此类影视剧，连断背山都没能看完就弃了，个人觉得《老友记》罗斯的前妻是lesbian这条线似乎可以再展开一点，可是再一想毕竟不是主角，展开了除了浪费主线，而且在当时似乎也不为太多人认可。

        而摩登家庭则不一样，在摩登的年代描绘一个摩登的夫妻，容易很多，也得心应手很多。Micle是一个小律师，负责挣钱养家，Cam则是个“家庭主夫”，负责照看孩子，他们生活中的点点滴滴，展示给我们看一个真实的家庭，不是我们意淫出来的，也不掺杂腹诽和讽刺的家庭组合，他们向别人介绍对方为Partner，他们有自己特别的小圈子，能让他们在酒吧里一起谈天说地喝酒high歌，他们会为对方着想哪怕心里有一点不情愿，尊重对方的小爱好，会小心讨对方父母的欢心，对孩子，对家务。。。真的是平常夫妻能做到的他们都做到了，而且那么贴心仔细，这是我一开始没有料想到的惊艳。Cam的扮演者生活中是个直男，然而在剧中的表现真的是可圈可点，实属不易。
      
        此前一度错误以为男同必然是两个相貌英姿都过人的男子，一度以为男同和女同是最容易亲近的团体，一度以为男同必然会有一方为男人一方为女人，果然认知太片面，惭愧不已。

          最后，再想褒奖一下小演员们，几个主要的成年演员演技和水准自不必说，老道而鲜活，但是几个小演员，的确是真的用生命在演戏了。
       
         少年老成的Manny，热衷派对的Hayley,书生气重的Alex，呆萌又聪明的Luke,看到他们坐在沙发上，像模像样地对着摄像机讲心里话，就顿时觉得乐不可支了，甚至根本不用开口好么。

         我想这样一个摩登而幸福的家庭，一定治愈了很多很多人，不是那种“你饿了吧，我去给你下碗面吧”似的隔靴搔痒，而是“你看，大家都以为我不会这么幸福，但是我做到了，你比我容易很多，还有什么让你不好好过活？”——本该如此，珍惜当下，珍惜眼前人，幸福本来就是是各有各的幸福。

         希望这部剧一路拍下去，当然，我想，一定会的。

完完全全拜倒在美国小镇平凡家庭喜剧的魅力之下。

果然是，美帝用各种糖衣包装好他们的生活方式，以各种途径侵蚀我社会主义人民的头脑。
试想，一家三口，老爸娶了年轻性感的拉丁美女做老婆，一双儿女长大成人后，女儿生了三个小孩成为家庭主妇，儿子则幸福地和男友生活在一起并领养了一位越南女儿，这样的组合如果放到我天朝基本上就是神话了。老爸必然被三姑六婆戳脊梁骨戳死，估计还可能被儿女双双嫌弃，并要求提前瓜分遗产。女儿看似生活正常，但必然将因为违反计划生育而缴纳巨额罚款及断绝企事业单位的工作大门。儿子不用说了，除了上媒体头条及被亲戚朋友们指指点点外别无他路。

天朝人民，往往都习惯把自己的生活价值理念凌驾在他人的生活之上，三天两头搓搓麻将聚个同学会，就把那把拉批判的尺子拿出来量一量度一度，稍稍见到谁谁谁的日子不是按那把尺子的标准在过，便开始忍不住指手划脚的去干涉，恨不得做个裁缝伸只手出来就可以把别人选好的衣服裁裁减减做成自己喜欢的款式。

对于摩登家庭来说，电视剧里描述的生活无疑是天朝人民不可企及的。（当然，也不觉得美帝人民就可以轻易实现。只是天朝人民的距离更加遥远）物质上来看，三户人家，全部住在生活方便、宁静详和的小镇上，生活安定，而且还家家拥有一幢town house，光是这一点就可以秒杀被房价逼死的天朝人民了。但是我觉得，更重要的是，是三户人家各自独立、互相关爱而又互不干涉的生活态度。

比如那老爹一直都明显表现出不喜欢儿子是基佬，但他仍然尊重了他的性向选择。比如老爹娶了如此性感的后妈，儿女们也选择了欣然接受。

他们也吵吵闹闹，表达对各自的不满，为了各自的缺点而抓狂。但无论如何不会批判或试图控制对方的生活方式，不会在真正伤害对方感受的地方伤筋动骨，并时时不忘表达对对方的爱与支持。

至少在我的理想里，人生的幸福并不是住什么样的房子开什么样的车子。而是你身边的最重要的那些人，给你无限的支持与关怀（哪怕只是纯精神上的），但却不会是对你的生活进行控制。很多时候，并不是不知道那是一种爱，而是希望那种爱不是一种以爱为名义的枷锁。

本人还是很喜欢这剧的……各方面来说

不过刚才突然想到
这里面gay couple的形象和QAF里面Emmett在电视台当主持人时候的感觉很像吧？

好像感觉还是经过阉割了，
他们的性生活几乎是尽量避免地被提及或者暗示到

= =也没有别的想法了……只是突然想到这个……
毕竟电视剧面向大众要考虑的东西很多……

当然也有可能是有但是我没有注意到= =
比较迟钝………………

真的觉得这部剧很温馨很有爱 还记得看第一部的时候Lily还是刚领养回来 现在已经那么大了 里面的她好可爱＞＜ 还有热情奔放的Gloria 浓浓的西班牙语口语的英语 还有Alex他们三姐弟 哈哈哈 有个兄弟姐妹吵吵架还是蛮欢乐的 好基友cam&mitchell也好有爱 Gloria's new born baby Jeo 怎么可以那么乖 都不乱哭 好可爱啊！！
还有Manny 整天把自己弄的跟个小大人一样 哈哈哈 Jay &Phill就是典型家庭好男人 爱妻子儿女 努力工作 当然经常也很无奈 哈哈哈 还有好妈妈Clair 总之这部剧还蛮能反应现代家庭的各种温馨小事和烦恼 对于外国家庭这种父母和儿女的相处方式真的觉得很赞耶！

Never be afraid to reach for the stars,because even if you fall, you'll always be wearing a parent-chute(parachute)

Success is 1% inspiration ,98%perspiration,and 2% attention to detail.

S4E3
I've always seen life like a serious of doors.sometimes you get to choose the door you go through, sometimes you don't get that choice. But you still gotta walk through . So you can either go kicking and screaming... Or walk through with your head held high .

S4E4
"I am mad at you because you didn't say anything."
"Cause I didn't want to get yelled at."
"Well too bad. When you married to me, you're going to get yelled at many times. And you're tough enough to take it. That's what I love about our marriage . We can say whatever we want , but the next day we're still there.＂
＂ that's what I like it, too."


The minute I stopped caring what other people thought and stared doing what I wanted to do , is the minute I finally feel ...Free!

E4S6
I'm terrified of motorcycles, but sometimes you have to do things to show the world you're still a man.

Oh, she's just sarcastic on the outside . Inside , she's just a fragile little girl. If she wants to get her heart broken by a gay guy, she can do so when she's 18 or 19 and can drink her way through it.

He really oughta run things through his head first.

What's your return policy?
You return, I call the police .

In Colombia , if you snoop around the wrong box, you might end up inside that box.

S4E7
Making a child is the easy part . The hard part is everything that comes after . Keeping them safe... Making sacrifices for them... And standing by them , even when they let you down .

S4E10
This's the funny thing about marriage. You fall in love with this...extraordinary person, and over time , they begin to seem ordinary.

Sometimes I don't understand people , they do crazy things for the dumbest reasons. They convince themselves it'll all work out...despite all the evidence to the contrary.

S4E11
New Years is so weird ,the way it makes you think about time. I think that's why people put so much pressure on themselves to have fun. I mean I guess I sorta get it.

S4E12
There's all kinds of milestones in life, the kind you expect to live through--the first kiss, birthdays, graduations. If you're lucky, a wedding or two, or even a new addition to the family. Then there's the kind you never dreamed you'd get to live through again. And that's the best kind of all.

S4E17
Raising a kid is like sending a rocket ship to the moon. You spend the early years in constant contact, and then one day, around the teenage years, they go around the dark side and they're gone . All you can do is wait for that faint signal that says they're coming back.

Marriage is a promise. It says to the world that you share a love and a commitment to each other that will only grow deeper as the years go by .

Never be afraid to go after a girl who's out of your league.

S4E18
My kids are helpless, but maybe that's okay. Because years from now when they have their own houses, they'll call me on their hologram phones and say,"help me , dad . You're my only hope."

When it comes to raising kids, you get what you give.

There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange , mixed after we call life... When a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke... Though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns... And more than suspect that the joke is at nobody's expense but his own.

S4E20
Oh . Dumpy , I can play you like a ukulele, cause you're small and dainty.

We all weave a web of lies. Some we tell to try to help the ones we love. Some we tell to try to fool ourselves . And some we tell because , when you're out of bullets and staring down the barrel of a Kalashnikov , the only weapon you've got left I'd guile .

E4S22
Plus, this is one of the many benefits of being gay . We can be friends with our exes without all the petty jealousy straight people go through .

What qualifies someone as a hero? Obviously, a hero has to be someone we respect. A person we look up to. A person who is generous of spirit. Who's willing to grow and learn. Maybe it's the person you love most in the world or the guy who makes the most out of life, no matter what anyone thinks. For me though, the hero in my family is my family. Because of who we are together .

Phil: Nice game of chicken, Claire. She's gone!
Claire: She is coming back. I am almost positive.
Phil: Why do I listen to you? Why? You were wrong about the iPod being a failure. You were wrong about tomato being a vegetable. I don't even want to talk about your favorite "Planet" Pluto!
Haley:You were going to let me go with him?
Claire: Isn't that what you wanted, honey?
Haley: What's the matter with you?! You've been acting so weird ever since I left college!
Claire: For the record, you didn't leave college. You were asked to leave.
Haley: Oh, which you guys never let me forget, especially dad.
Claire: Honey, your father...
Haley: Oh, you don't have to tell me what he thinks, okay? I'm a huge disappointment to him. I see it on his face every day. He acts as if he doesn't even want me around.
Phil: Give me the ticket for the car.
Claire: Phil...
Phil: I'm going after her! This little chicken game may work for your dad, but it doesn't work for me. That's my little girl. I need her to know that no guy on earth is good enough for her, let alone some slimy, middle-aged jean salesman!
Phil: What's this?
Claire: Just enjoy it.

Jay: There's all kinds of milestones in life. The kind you expect to live through... The first kiss. Birthdays. Graduations. If you're lucky, a wedding or two. Or even a new addition to the family. You never dreamed you'd get to live through again. And that's the best kind of all. Why am I spoiling it for you? You'll see for yourself.

Haley: Uh, what do you think you're doing out there?
Alex: I'm flirting.
Haley: That's what I was afraid of.
Alex: Look, I'm not gonna pretend I'm stupid just so a boy will like me.
Haley: Of course not. But you don't have to put the poor guy to shame. Flirting with boys is about increasing your value, not decreasing theirs.
Alex: That's a complicated thought. What magazine taught you that?
Haley: You're doing it again! The mean things. Can you even hear it or what?!
Alex: I heard it.
Haley: Good. So now that he knows that you're smart, let's work on being nice.

Haley & Alex: We won!
Boy A & B: Man, that sucks! Yeah, totally un-masculating.
Alex: Well, at least you guys look cool when you play.
Boy A & B: Let's play again. This never happened.
Haley: Actually, we need to go hang out with our family for a while.
Boy A & B: Really? Now?
Haley: Yeah, but we'll be around. We'll see you guys.
Alex: What happened? Did I mess up?
Haley: No, you did great.
Alex: So he didn't like me?
Haley: No, he totally liked you.
Alex: Then why'd we walk away?
Haley: This was never about him. This was about getting you some confidence. Guys will pick up on that. Better guys. Guys who can lose to a girl without feeling e-masculated.
Alex: Okay, try not to throw this in my face one day, but sometimes you're actually really smart. Like, smart smart. I hope you know that.
Haley: And I'm totally throwing that in your face one day. Are you kidding?

Jay: Good guy.
Cam: Who -- Teddy? Yeah. Yeah, he's the best.
Jay: Nuts he can't find anybody, huh? Gotta be something a little off there. He definitely did not bring out the best in Mitchell, I can tell you that right now.
Cam: Oh, really? Well, you know, not that it matters... but in what way exactly?
Jay: Honestly? When they were together, Mitchell could be a bit of pill. Now, I like Teddy, but when they broke up, I was actually kinda glad. Of course , Mitchell thought that I was uncomfortable because of the gay thing, and maybe I was, but... I really just wanted him to be happy. Like he is now. And when you two started up, everyone thought, "Well, there it is."
#Okay, kids. Couples skate. Grab someone you love and get out there.#
Cam: Jay, you can be so...
Jay: I'm not skating with you, Cam.
Cam: Yeah.
Claire: What about me, dad? You wanna skate with me?

Manny: What qualifies someone as a hero? Obviously, a hero has to be someone we respect. A person we look up to. A person who is generous of spirit. Who's willing to grow and learn. Maybe it's the person you love most in the world or the guy who makes the most out of life, no matter what anyone thinks. For me, though... The hero in my family is my family because of who we are together.
C-. "This was not the assignment." I'll tell you who is not my hero, Mrs. Rita Mcnabb.

Phil: My daughter Alex would like to pay tribute.
Alex: My grandmother and I had a very special bond. This may not make sense to everyone, but I'm pretty sure she would've loved it.
"This is a lighter. It belonged to my favorite actor, Paul Newman. One day, he came into the restaurant where I was waitressing and accidentally left it behind. For the first time in my life, I did something I wasn't supposed to and slipped it into my pocket. One of the customers saw and said, "don't worry. Your secret's safe with me." That customer turned out to be the love of my life, your grandfather. So, my Alex, who I love so dearly, who is probably too much like me for her own good, every once in a while, don't be afraid to break the rules. You never know what can happen."
