    Boston Legal

    Finished the all 5 seasons of Boston Legal just now
    Strongly recommended
     

     
    Boston Legal is the most brilliant, logical, meaningful, and funny TV series about justice I have ever seen.
    It shows simply the story in the famous law firm "Crane, Poole & Schmitt", only with complex cases and relationships.
    It is a kind of dramedy (drama-comedy), that is to say, it includes various of factors of both drama and comedy.
    It won 5 Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award, nominated 26 times in all.
    So my suggestion would be to be seated in frond of the screen and enjoy the time with its dramatic and fun parts.
     
    Although not fully agree with all the ideas in this show, I truly admire the friendship between Alan Shore and Denny Crane.
    Denny once said on the balcony, "the simple pleasures: A clear night, a scotch, and a friend."
    They love and care about each other, purely. They are each other's flamingo.
    "You have met somebody who likes you for who you are." Another one from Denny.
    At the end of each episode, watching their "closing" of it, I find the magic between the two, and that is what we called friendship.
    In the end, they got married, which really surprised me. But this show surprised me anyway, always.
     
                
     
    Since the leading female characters are always changing from seasons to seasons, except Shirly Schmitt, one of the founding partners of the firm, and also, the very perfect woman, I would like to talk about Alan, who is definitely the most important leading character, and also my favourite one.
    Despite the sensitivity, Alan is the most righteous, profound, and kind-hearted person I have ever "met", which is incredibly rare in law practice.
    Besides he's always ready for his friends, and he never break his promise.
    Of course, his long but extremely persuasive closing is for me attractive as well.
     
     
    (casts of season 4)
     
    With the old but energetic Denny, wierd but virtuous Jerry, and many other adorable but professional female characters, Boston Legal has become one of my favourite TV series.
    Sometimes I think it unbelievably magical, for it is only a stange mostly built up with some old guys, but perhaps this is exactly the cahrm of it.
    How I wish it lasted longer.
     
    - Happiness is right now, my friend. On this balcony. You and me.
    - I love how you reduce everything in life to you and me.

    FRIENDS forever

    在这FRIENDS开拍十五年之际,我完成了对它的首次复习。
     
    第一次看FRIENDS是在高一的暑假。
    因为学习紧张的缘故,我竟一直拖到高考前提前招生之后才看完。
    FRIENDS见证了我高一暑假时英语德语一起学的艰苦和高三后期不用高考的幸福。
    三年的时间。三年一轮回。
    当时的我打开电脑,居然一时什么都写不出来。
     
    How I Met Your Mother让我萌生了再看一次FRIENDS的念头。
    两三个月前的我处于不到一个月就看完四季HIMYM的疯狂中。
    在德语专四、CET-6以及每周末10小时GMAT班的压力中,我再次开始疯狂的情景喜剧生活。
    笑永远是最好的减压剂。
    而且我真的很想念FRIENDS
    于是每次叫外卖时、无聊时,每天睡觉前,每次去上新东方坐地铁时,甚至每个大课间,我都会看上一集。
     
    不知不觉就看到了第十季。
    还剩两集的时候,停了好几天。
    因为不敢看下去,不敢再次面对早已烂熟于心的结局。
    就像剧里演的一样,多么美好的时光,总有结束的时候。
    可又忍不住了。
    今晚很揪心地把大结局看了,从Joey和Chandler的lame cool-man handshake开始就泪流不止。
    借用Joey在不得不撬开足球桌前说的一句话:
    FRIENDS, you have given me so many great times.
     
    我用了五年的时间,两次见证了FRIENDS的十年。
    很想认认真真地写篇剧评,却写下了以上的这些文字。
    因为对它的感情太深,反而无法客观无法抽离。
     
    曾经觉得那些复习FRIENDS的人们不可思议,现在发现,光看两遍真的远远不够。
    不光因为它经典的桥段笑料百出,还因为FRIENDS内在的文化、内涵、精神。
    大概只有FRIENDS才会这样,无论大家的样貌性格身份背景差异有多大,也能很快乐地相处。
    大概只有FRIENDS才会这样,无论遇到多么大的困难,都会很坚定地互相扶持,为彼此两肋插刀,共同克服。
    大概只有FRIENDS才会这样,无论怎么吵闹翻脸,无论有多少矛盾不快,到最后一句简单的"I‘m sorry"又让大家和好如初。
     
    我想我会怀念与FRIENDS/FRIENDS做伴的每一分每一秒。
    Because my FRIENDS/FRIENDS, you are already part of my life.
    And I love you all.

    HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER

    好久没一部美剧能让人有这种眼前一亮的感觉了
    好久没笑得这么开怀了

    这是一部让我惊喜的剧集
    幽默 温情 而且真实
     
    (剧中主角:[左起] LILY MARSHALL TED ROBIN BARNEY)

    故事从Ted的好友Marshall告诉他他要向自己的女友Lily求婚开始。
    Ted震惊之余,也开始找寻自己的真爱。
    接下来出场的是尽给Ted出馊主意的Barney以及Ted喜欢而却对Ted没留下好印象的Robin。
    一幕幕爆笑的场景接连上演,而这五个人也成为了好朋友。

    其实在这喜剧的背后也交织着浪漫与现实的无奈
    比如Ted对Robin的雨夜表白 又比如Ted后来和医生的两分钟约会
    可现实是 家庭观不一样的Ted和Robin注定无法在一起 而Ted也在自己和医生的婚礼上被放了鸽子

    不过 无论发生什么 他们都会发现各自身后的彼此
    朋友间总是有太多的感动与温暖

    这让我想起了FRIENDS
    不管六个人怎么闹别扭
    最后的相拥总能化解矛盾或给人以力量

    这算是一部向FRIENDS 致敬的作品吧
    在很多方面都有超越
    本剧叙述故事都是采用回忆闪回的方式
    这也给了编剧很大的发挥空间
     
    HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER现在出到第四季了
    希望它不要终结得太早...
     
    想知道让MORNING在三周内看完3季的HIMYM有多精彩的话
    还是自己去看看吧

    I have an affection for English.

    from "Gossip Girl"
    As you get older, every choice that you make defines who you're gonna turn into. So, rather than apologizing to me, you need to look at yourself and ask, if you like the person you're becoming.

    Lily: Life is tough enough as it is, you know? I want... I want the best for you. I'm worried for your safety and happiness.
    Eric: I have a better chance of happy if I'm honest.
    Lily: I know that, and I want you to know what love is, whoever you're with, because it's pretty great.
    Eric: You know, right? Fourth time's the charm.

    Serena: No, B. This is the one thing I can't tell you. I can't tell any one.
    Blair: But I'm not anyone. I'm me. You can tell me anything.
    Serena: No, I can't. Because then that'd make you part of it, and you can't be part of this.
    Blair: What are you talking about? You're starting to scare me. Hey, we're sisters. You're my family. What is you, is me. There's nothing that you could ever say to make me let go. I love you.

    Serena: Mom, I can't go in there.
    Lily: Sweetie, if I've learned anything in life is that sometimes things getting in your path, and you have a choice. You can have smashed right into them, or you can adjust and move around. But you have to do one and the other. Then we'll move forward.


    from New Oriental UC160 / "A Walk to Remember" / "Bible"

    Love is always patient and kind, it is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offenceand it is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delight in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure, whatever comes.
