i thought about my sister and how she always wanted to live in Paris and now she’s never going to. and if i don’t do this now, i don’t think i ever will.

i don’t know. i will figure something out.

i love you but i want to do this and this is important to me.

I don’t want to wake up one day and wonder “what would it have been like if I went to Japan?”

I always play it safe and I can’t do it anymore.

The time in our life to do crazy shit is winding down.

i don’t want to wake up one day and see that window is already closed.

It is only fair to conclude that Mr. Ansari is emotionally intelligent and politically perceptive in the show-biz terms, knowing what would resonate with or at least intrigue a burgeoning multicultural audience - the backstories of a mysterious culture with its own evolution over time and variations within. However, just when you think this is one of the typical cross-culture textbook materials, it surprises you with the mundane yet adorable domesticity of romance and the sassy New Yorker wittiness that completely shift your attention away from the sob stories of minority to what is universally relatable.

It is even funnier when I found out those were the real parents. “Hey, what’s up, man. ”

The irony is incredibly entertaining - we are products of how we were raised, harboring the same exceptions for our children to treat us with the exact reverence and obedience that we did to our parents, but only to find out that how we have been raising them, an allegedly more advanced and respectful approach, has completely transformed the way our children perceive the world, a world where they are not obligated to answer to anyone but themselves, as they are protected from the very ingredient that forges the sense of awe and respect towards their elders - fear.

Kudos on the political sensitivity, “he was in another country.” The reason why it is hard to accept the need to cater to the “mainstream” lies in the very idealism upon which this country is built. However, this is a matter of espoused theory and theory-in-use, as always.

Tell me it’s a coincidence that you decided to heavily refer to Reddington when I’ve just started binging Blacklist.

The weirdest thing is when I was listening to Granny Carol telling Dev that he would one day have stories to tell, it occurred to me how much I looked up to you when we were together for the world you dove in that seemed to me way beyond our maturity level, the way you talked, the way you remained silent. It was all looked so sophisticated and mysterious to me that I felt almost uncontrollably drawn towards like a moth to a street lamp. On the other hand, I was also frustrated by the fact that my world was so limited and monotonous that I had no clues the things you could see and understand. Until now, it is almost cliche that it turns out all I’ve ever needed is to go on a journey of discovery on my own, and most importantly the time for which I have to wait until I develop the necessary emotional reach to others and to myself. I’m pleased with how I’m now able to better understand you in some ways and have a less one-way conversation with you, if I had a chance to. On the up note, the courage is undeniable. Yet somehow there’s a vague feeling of contempt brewing, the feeling that I can’t wait to see you circle back after all endeavors to seek for happiness and that 100% certainty, empty-handed, with a twinge of despair and exhaustion on your face, telling me how you’ve walked through the arena and put up what to the audience a good fight but still feel that nothing has changed in you, and that the fire has never been kindled yet.

And that would be the saddest story of all.

The lovely couple has been through a lot and finally end up like this. I wouldn’t believe the real couple will be that nuts until now. They separate for a better themselves, which is inspiringly painful. For some reason, I think their breakup is so damn fake but they rush out of the place is sooo real. How could 2 year relationship would broke simply bc of the phobia against marriage and not afraid of losing the person? You guys will later regret it.

看完搜了一下才知道是男主自編、自導、自演的！刮目相看，很有才了

印度裔生活中遇到的社會偏見、各個人生階段的會出現(xiàn)的 big problem、各視角的生活方式，所有這些，放在一起，組成這一部“MASTER OF NONE”。可能并不像專門抓住一個主題展開敘述的一部奧斯卡片子那樣尖銳，但卻讓人在觀影過程中更加輕松，就像漫步在一個弄堂，偶地瞥見每家每戶的生活小劇場，更為真實，也更受用！反而，現(xiàn)在諸多揪著某個社會現(xiàn)象去深度敘述的電影總是給人一種為賦新詞強說愁的難受！

再說片名，master of none，主角就是這樣一個干啥啥不行的人，30而立，在他熱愛的演員事業(yè)上，一次次受挫，或許是由于種族原因，他得到了機會，又因為種族原因，他失去了這個機會，很有意思，也偶爾替他難過。Actually，多數(shù)的我們都是master of none，成為不了所謂人中龍鳳，但我們會有為喜歡的人做出好吃的意面、research半個小時只為和朋友找一家附近最好吃的taco，這樣那樣的spark！這不就是生活中最重要的小事嗎

全劇用充滿幽默的語言，為各個種族、各個少數(shù)群體、各個社會問題發(fā)了聲

第一集：思考婚姻生育的真諦

第二集：兩個移民家庭的親子關(guān)系，父母年輕時候的故事

第三集：搶到兩張火熱的票子，作為an unpopular man的存在，苦惱約哪個女生去玩

第四集：作為印度裔（種族），在演員事業(yè)上的優(yōu)劣

第六集：和Rachel去Nashville度假，全程合拍的旅行結(jié)尾又被主角專業(yè)搞砸

第七集：女性在社會生活中遇到的歧視和困難

第八集：走近幾位老人的生活與需求

第九集：同居生活，真實有趣

第十集：參加婚禮后極度恐婚，丟了女友；說了一季的跑龍?zhí)纂娪翱偹闵嫌沉?，所有人一起來看了才知道原來他被剪了…和女友各自奔赴另一個國家開始新生活...

這么一梳理，Dev實打?qū)嵉厥莻€倒霉到家的一個主角來了…

這樣一個個的黑色幽默 卻能夠輕松看完 很是成功的一部網(wǎng)飛了 有空看第二季！
