劇照
詳細(xì)劇情
本劇集是BBC 2臺2000年正式推出的以青年人為題材和對象的系列情景喜劇，創(chuàng)意和編劇均由Steven Moffat一人擔(dān)當(dāng)。三男三女的主要人物構(gòu)成很容易使人聯(lián)想到當(dāng)時(shí)正走紅（其實(shí)已經(jīng)在走下坡路）的《Friends》，因此很有不少根本沒看過本劇的媒體人士和評論家想當(dāng)然地將本劇稱作英國版的《Friends》，而在那些有幸欣賞過本劇的觀眾們看來，《Coupling》在情節(jié)設(shè)定、人物表演、喜劇元素的設(shè)計(jì)和表現(xiàn)等諸多方面所達(dá)到的水平，要比《Friends》高幾個(gè)檔次。相比之下，《Friends》只能說是一部“業(yè)余”水平的好作品而已。當(dāng)然總體來說，英劇的水準(zhǔn)本身就高于美劇，這和英劇注意保持創(chuàng)意、編劇一體化是分不開的，美劇的創(chuàng)意一般也就為最初幾集編劇，以后主要的編劇工作都是由其它編劇根據(jù)最初的角色設(shè)定來自由發(fā)揮，編劇隊(duì)伍的構(gòu)成也是不斷變化，老的走新的來，造成美劇情節(jié)連貫性差甚至前后矛盾，故事往往缺乏深度，人物性格平面化，缺少發(fā)展。這都是題外話了。
《Coupling》的主要人物包括優(yōu)柔寡斷、性格不成熟的帥哥Steve，Steve的莫逆之交、舉止語言古怪、總也找不到女友的Jeff，頭腦簡單、外表性感的“donkey” Patrick三位對Porn、特別是lesbian porn非常熱中的男士，以及Steve的前女友、神神叨叨、擅用性感作武器的Jane，Steve的繼任女友、Jeff的同事、曾經(jīng)非?！安涣b”（包括和Jeff還有Patrick）過的Susan，Susan的莫逆、對衰老和肥胖極度敏感的美容師Sally三位女士。在第一集中，Steve決定“再次”和女友Jane分手，結(jié)果卻被Jane三言兩語引誘到洗手間親熱；Patrick想把和Susan的關(guān)系再進(jìn)一步，卻被告知根本不存在什么“關(guān)系”； Susan在洗手間碰到匆忙出來買Durex的Steve，向他表示好感，兩人訂下約會以后Steve鉆進(jìn)隔間繼續(xù)……。本劇的主線包括Steve和 Susan之間逐漸正式起來的關(guān)系，Jeff尋找艷遇過程中的種種意外以及后來和上司發(fā)展出來的一段關(guān)系，Patrick和Sally之間若有若無到若即若離再到情深難舍的感情發(fā)展，還有Jane在事業(yè)和異性關(guān)系中的各種奇事，等等。
本劇在情節(jié)設(shè)計(jì)中所達(dá)到的精致和完美程度讓人嘆為觀止，而六位當(dāng)時(shí)并不算大明星的青年演員的所展現(xiàn)精湛演技更是具有頂尖演員的水平，無怪乎播出之后立刻走紅大洋兩岸，在IMDB、AMAZON和BBC網(wǎng)站可以領(lǐng)略到其受歡迎的程度。2002年底，第3季播畢，故事情節(jié)基本告一段落。美國NBC看到這部“英國版《Friends》”在英美兩地均廣受歡迎，覺得正好可以搬來做2004年終于要關(guān)張的《Friends》的接班人，于是2003年大張旗鼓地決定翻拍美版《Coupling》。美國的fans本來以為這是件好事，沒想到NBC的翻拍愚蠢地采用了全臺詞照搬的方法，雖然個(gè)人沒看過，不過也可以想象到有多惡心，結(jié)果只播出一集Pilot就因?yàn)榱R聲太大而整個(gè)計(jì)劃擱淺（這點(diǎn)上美國佬是值得學(xué)習(xí)的，不象中國有些搞影視的罵聲越大越要上）。在這里http://www.nbc.com/Coupling/可以看到這個(gè)計(jì)劃的尸體，還有一些徹底走了味兒的劇照。
2003年底，本劇獲得英國喜劇獎（BCA）最佳電視喜劇獎。BBC已經(jīng)在2004年正式開拍并播出第4季，不過Jeff這個(gè)人物將不再出現(xiàn)，而代之以新角色——經(jīng)營Sci-Fi書店的Oliver，由Richard Mylan扮演。從已經(jīng)播出的幾集來看，應(yīng)該說在更換主要角色之一的背景下，基本保持了前3季的水準(zhǔn)，但是同時(shí)也流露出對前3季中成功情節(jié)進(jìn)行拷貝的跡象，希望這僅僅是偶然。
Two's company, three's a crowd... so what do you do with six? On average, men and women think about sex every six seconds. Shorten that to every second, and you've got Coupling. It's more than just a one night stand!
When a couple gets together, it's never just the two of them - they also bring baggage - and Susan (Sarah Alexander) and Steve (Jack Davenport) are no exception. Their baggage is a crowd of best friends and exes who talk about all aspects of sex and relationships on their never-ending quest to find true love. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...
Susan Walker is a beautiful go-getter with an uninhibited attitude who used to date Patrick Maitland (Ben Miles), the sextet's charismatic, cocky player, London's king of conquests - a guy who's just too cool to worry about being smart. Attractive Sally Harper (Kate Isitt) is a beauty therapist who is Susan's unashamedly vain best friend, who aggressively battles aging with heavy doses of moisturizer and men - including Patrick.
Meanwhile, Steve Taylor, while getting together with Susan, can't seem to shake loose from his vivacious and slightly vacuous ex-girlfriend Jane Christie (Gina Bellman), a woman supremely confident in her ability to seduce anyone of either sex, and who refuses to be dumped unless she's the one doing the dumping. Jeff Murdoch (Richard Coyle) is Steve's "porn buddy" who is, in equal parts, obsessed and bewildered by actual sex; charming in his way, but with an uncanny ability to say the wrong thing at the worst possible time. He works in the same office as Susan, with whom he had a disastrous and unsuccessful one-night fling.
Coupling has been honoured with the prestigious Silver Rose of Montreux, Best TV Comedy Award, and is recent winner at the 2003 British Comedy Awards.
With a new guy on the scene, a baby on the way, commitment in the air, and love on the horizon, the dynamics of the six friends are definitely changing.
At the end of last season Susan and Steve discovered they were pregnant (well, mostly Susan), confirmed bachelor Patrick and Sally finally admitted their true feelings for each other, and poor Jane was left on her own, once again.
But it's not all doom and gloom for Jane. As the new season opens, things are looking up. There's this guy called Oliver, who has his eye on her. Is it possible that lifetime loser in love Oliver might just get somewhere with lifetime loser in love Jane? Trouble is, his apartment is a little "un-edited" and his living room has lost the battle with magazine nudity...
Susan and Steve are now well and truly an item. So why is he dreaming about being executed by a fetus with an axe?
Meanwhile Sally and Patrick are settling into their new relationship. But since the dawn of time, men and women have been falling in love - and men have been trying to get home straight afterwards. Can fallen playboy Patrick ever find his way back from the enchanted glade of his one true love and get a decent night's sleep?
長篇影評
1 ) to Sally and Patrick ：你是我的蜘蛛人
至于這六個(gè)小伙伴，一本正經(jīng)從床上開始談戀愛一路走到的翹臀美人Susan和不太成器的帥哥Steve的關(guān)系，明顯是愛情主線，分屏探討男女不同的婚戀觀；而完全脫線的Jeff和生活在自己次元的Jane分別負(fù)責(zé)添亂搞笑和引入新元素；最后就不得不提及這對小伙伴了——三腳架VS皺紋女。他們的感情才是這里面最有意義的談戀愛。
無所不能擁有傲人資本的Patrick在Sally面前第一次吃了敗仗，從此就注定二人關(guān)系的不平凡。可偏偏是一個(gè)悶騷白目男，一個(gè)傲嬌自卑女，有感情埋在心底（也可能是忘記了）。早在第一次見面的時(shí)候，就給錯(cuò)了電話號碼，可是有情人終成眷屬這句話總不是蓋的，兜兜轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)，真正相愛的人還是會走回到一起，繼續(xù)他們的幸福生活。
現(xiàn)實(shí)生活大概不會如此，有刻意制造的浪漫，有無心經(jīng)營的幸福，可是誰會真的注意床頭柜上，隨手放下，緊緊挨著的高腳杯呢？
又有誰會真的在最狼狽的時(shí)刻相遇，在互相拆穿和對抗到底后欣欣然的走到一起？
為了夢中一只蜘蛛三更半夜飛奔而去？
《蜘蛛俠》的梗用的實(shí)在太好，除了一如既往的無厘頭和前后呼應(yīng)的宿命感之外，或許更是一種愛情的態(tài)度：
我是你的蜘蛛人，為了你無所不能。
千絲萬縷的關(guān)系，雖然結(jié)成了難以掙脫的網(wǎng)，但同時(shí)也是永遠(yuǎn)將我引向你的軌跡。
很好也很遺憾的是，這兩個(gè)人大概永遠(yuǎn)不會好好談戀愛?？墒钦l在意呢？愛情說到底不是用嘴巴談出來的，而是用心暖出來的。
祝天下人都找到自己的蜘蛛人。
2 ) 第三季最后兩集喜歡的對白
然后，好像哪天茅塞頓開一樣，第三季開始每集都笑的在床上打滾，昨天看完了第三季最后兩集。有兩段對白講的酣暢淋漓，個(gè)人喜歡的不得了。
另外，主題曲我也很愛，就都貼出來分享下。
You won't admitt love me,
and so how am I ever to know, you always tell me, perhaps,perhaps,perhaps.
對白一，關(guān)于衛(wèi)生間裝不裝鎖。Susan和Steve同居Ing~
Susan：man and toliet- the love that dare not speak its name. what's that about.
Steve：（開始發(fā)飆~）
We are man, throughout history we have always needed, in times of difficulty to retreat to our caves.
It so happens in theis modern age that our caves a fully plumped.
The toliet for us, is the last bastion, the final refuge,the last few square feet of man-space lefe for us!
Somewhere to sit, something to read, something to do, and who gives a damn about the smell?
Because that for us, is happiness. Because we are man, we are different, we have only one word for "soap", we do not own candles, we have never seen anything of any value in the craft shop.
We do not own magazines full of photographs of celebrities with all their clothes on! (這是你們的心聲啊心聲~~）
When we have conversations, we actually take it in turns to talk! But we have not yet reached that level of earth-shattering boardom and imhuman dispair where we'd have a haircut recreationally.
We don't know how to get excited about REALLY, REALLY boring things, like ornaments, bath oil, the countryside, vases, small churches.
I mean, we do not even know what in the name of god's ass is the purpose of the potpourri! looks like breadfast, smell like your auntie!
Why do we need that? so please-in this strange and frightening world, allow us one last place to call our own, this toliet, this blessed pot, this fortress of solitude. you girls, you may go to the bathroom in groups of two or more, yet we do not pass comment, we do not make judgement, that is your choice.
But we men will always walk the toliet mile alone!
對白二：在Sally對Patrick意外的表白后 Patrick表示要和她說清楚
Patrick：Sally.
Sally：Patrick. (環(huán)顧四周，因?yàn)榈攸c(diǎn)是他們6個(gè)人經(jīng)常聚在一起喝酒的酒吧，但是現(xiàn)在一個(gè)人都沒有）private function?
Patrick: yeah, there's something later.
Sally: oh, so that's not us, then.
Patrick: no, no. definitely not us. Sally...you are the most wonderful woman in the history of the entire universe. you're incredible, you've got the looks of a miss world with the brains to match. you're more than a woman, you are like a .....man.....seriously, you could be a bloke anytime you want, obviously a bloke with some pretty serious defects, but who cares about that. I've seen you down drinks with best of them. I wish I had a mother like you, or a grandmother, or any kind of ...... ancestor. and since you said what you said (回放下，前一集Sally脫口而出， I'm mad of Patrick.......) I've had a lot time to think, but obviously that is not always possible, nontheless i have been able to consider your.....application, and....and this is the point, this is the important point.
Sally, you need someone good enough for you,(Sally開始忍著眼淚猛點(diǎn)頭，她覺得已經(jīng)被拒絕了，然后我也開始含著眼淚打滾 ><)
you don't want some mutton-head city boy, who spends all his time thinking about their cars and his golf clubs. you want someone who can love you the way you deserve to be loved, the way I want you to be loved. Sally, you need someone who will love you forever...properly.
You are my friend, Sally, and I want to see you with the best, you need mr.amazing, mr.incredibly, superbly...fantastickness. and in your heart, I'm sure you know I'm right.
Sally: I don't want mr. superbly, incredibly fantastickness, you stupit, stupid ass!!! I WANT YOU!!!
(笑點(diǎn)開始來了）
Patrick：oh, for god's sake, Sally.....
Sally: What? What?!
Patrick：I WAS TALKING ABOUT ME! (氣氛瞬間破壞）
接下去就是Steve和Jeff滾出來跳那個(gè)什么spider man的詭異舞蹈 笑慘了我
片尾曲：
if you can't make you mind up, we'll never get started,
and I don't want to wind up, being aparted, brokenhearted..
so if you really love me, say yes, and please don't tell me,
perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
主題曲也是我的淚點(diǎn)。
3 ) 成雙對的少女心
斯蒂文又開演講會了，義正嚴(yán)辭，慷慨激昂，喜歡女同的斯蒂文真是萌死了
兜兜轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)的薩莉和派崔克兩人才是我的心頭之愛，第二季不舉的梗達(dá)到一定境界了，那時(shí)候編劇還沒花功夫?qū)懰麄z，這季第三集還是二的，薩莉的小模樣要心痛死我了，最后編劇給了歡喜結(jié)局，愛死編劇了
棒的要命的，男女夢境和男女視角，也只有腐國才拍的出這么高質(zhì)量的東西吧
其實(shí)簡好有魅力的，和詹姆斯的時(shí)候，都要彎了
4 ) Touche!
binge watching了前三季，打算補(bǔ)第四季的時(shí)候才回憶起當(dāng)年為什么看完三季沒有往后追了……因?yàn)閾Q人了！??！想起馬普爾小姐也是因?yàn)橥瑯拥脑驁?jiān)決不看4-6季。所以這次，還是不想補(bǔ)第四季！反正就此結(jié)束也還算美好，終成正果的雙向告白，惴惴不安的人生新篇，以及幼稚小孩的惺惺相惜，雖然有時(shí)候笑他們白癡，大多數(shù)時(shí)候又很羨慕，最起碼when they f**k up their lives they do it hand in hand.
我也好想好想有個(gè)可以一起做蠢事，一起哭泣一起取暖一起哀嘆失敗人生的好朋友啊T.T
5 ) Perhaps
這部劇在我的電腦里默默躺了大半年，最初是為了學(xué)英音，好看的英劇并不多。我不喜歡肥皂劇，大名鼎鼎的Friends硬是沒看過。唯二看過的美劇是欲望都市和權(quán)力的游戲。
于是，在幾乎劇荒的時(shí)候，才翻開電腦找到這部劇。一季季看過來，竟然也能找到共鳴。三男三女各自八卦，每個(gè)人的特點(diǎn)（或者說缺點(diǎn)）都無比鮮明：Jane婊，Sally作，Susan渣，Jeff智障，Steve巨嬰，Patrick濫交。但終究討厭不起來，還會發(fā)現(xiàn)有些小可愛。
Susan永遠(yuǎn)一副大女主的姿態(tài)，有事業(yè)有思想有態(tài)度，對感情拿得起放得下，是我一直很羨慕但又無法成為的那種女生。故事的開頭，Steve和Jane分手，Susan和Patrick分手。與Jane反復(fù)死纏爛打相比，Susan干脆利落，毫不在意，甚至根本不承認(rèn)那是relationship，還順手在廁所勾搭上了Steve，讓見過了大風(fēng)大浪的Patrick瞬間有點(diǎn)懵，于是喜提‘渣女’桂冠（非貶義）。
Jane則屬于有點(diǎn)讓人神煩的女生，典型的持靚行兇，強(qiáng)盜邏輯，自我中心，里面的人或多或少都有些煩她?，F(xiàn)實(shí)生活中我應(yīng)該是不會跟這種女生做朋友的。但她骨子里又是善良的，忽閃著一對大眼睛，永遠(yuǎn)需要人陪?？赡芩皇翘陋?dú)。
至于Sally，一開始并沒有太喜歡她，永遠(yuǎn)焦慮皮膚細(xì)紋屁股大，面霜一天要涂好幾層，感覺永遠(yuǎn)神經(jīng)兮兮的?？吹胶竺嬖絹碓桨l(fā)現(xiàn)，嗯，是我本人。Sally其實(shí)長得不差，內(nèi)心卻總是敏感自卑缺愛。在她第一次見Patrick的時(shí)候，他找她要電話，她卻給了Susan的電話，因?yàn)橛X得不可能有人跟自己要電話，導(dǎo)致Susan和他在一起了。后來，他們經(jīng)歷了朋友、炮友、開放關(guān)系，最后終于成為正經(jīng)的情侶。但因?yàn)镻atrick太花心，Sally也一直不放心。后來在Patrick的櫥柜里，Sally發(fā)現(xiàn)了一枚戒指，還大聲質(zhì)問Patrick這是送給誰的。Sally就是骨子里一直覺得自己不配被愛呀。印象最深的一個(gè)情節(jié)，第三季最后一集，Patrick表白成功，本來是happy ending， Sally卻誤以為自己因以前的約會對象懷孕，悲涼地說，‘There is nothing in this world so good that I can’t screw it up.’ 想起了我曾經(jīng)最喜歡的《暗涌》：害怕悲劇重演，我的命中命中，越美麗的東西我越不可碰。
幸好Sally和Patrick結(jié)局還算不錯(cuò)?？赡芤?yàn)镾ally的關(guān)系，我也挺喜歡Patrick的。（不由嚇了一跳，這可是最容易被當(dāng)作渣男的類型）。當(dāng)然Patrick的渣主要在于性伴侶過多，或許曾經(jīng)還有出軌。但在他確認(rèn)了the one后，也顯示出浪漫和深情的一面。此處應(yīng)該有警告，珍愛生命，遠(yuǎn)離渣男。但人無完人呀。哪怕是高帥善良的Steve，也但太懦弱沒擔(dān)當(dāng)，跟他在一起會特別累。幸好她碰到的是大女主Susan，她只需要一只聽話的小奶狗就行了（中間也因?yàn)闅獠贿^分了兩次）。希望最后當(dāng)上爸爸的Steve能成熟一點(diǎn)。Jeff說話總讓人尷尬，總是活在自己的腦洞中，卻又異常單純專一，笨拙得可愛。
所謂對的人，并不是優(yōu)秀的完美的人，而是行為是否合拍，志趣是否相投，你拋出去的梗他是否能接住，你的小情緒他是否能捕捉。她若愛你，你在同事面前大跳脫衣舞她依然愛你。他若不愛你，你美若天仙風(fēng)華絕代主動求歡依然不愛你。
感情才是真正沒道理的。與其理性算計(jì)，愛才是最勇敢的事情，至于結(jié)果，Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
6 ) giggle loop
所謂的“giggle loop”按照杰夫的話來說，就是在一個(gè)非常嚴(yán)肅、莊重的時(shí)刻，突然向你襲來一股笑意，你拼命想要抑制住，而這股笑意卻像金字塔一樣越堆越高，然后在一個(gè)瞬間轟然倒塌。劇里腐男三人組在簡姑媽的葬禮上像瘋子一樣大笑的場景讓我想起了一件好久之前的事。
初中的時(shí)候，有一次期末復(fù)習(xí)，在英語課上，老師臨時(shí)離開教室，其他同學(xué)都在讀書，我和同桌趁著機(jī)會開始聊起天來。聊到興奮處，英語老師的身影如幽靈一般慢慢從我身旁的玻璃窗上顯現(xiàn)，火熱的氣氛瞬間凍結(jié)。下一秒，同桌就被拉到教室后面挨了打，“啪啪”響亮的聲響讓喧鬧的教室里瞬間安靜了下來。每個(gè)知情或不知情的人，都被這兩聲嚇得不敢動彈。說話的是我們倆個(gè)，同桌替我挨了打，其實(shí)我覺得非常對不起他。可是就在這關(guān)鍵的時(shí)刻，我卻做出了一個(gè)當(dāng)時(shí)看來非常不可思議的舉動——我竟然“噗嗤”一聲笑了出來。連自己也完全無法理解為什么我會這么做。更丟臉的是，當(dāng)時(shí)圍觀了所有事情經(jīng)過的坐在我前排的男生，是我暗戀的對象。時(shí)隔這么久，我依然清楚地記得當(dāng)他看到我笑時(shí)露出的鄙夷的表情。我的還未發(fā)芽的初戀就這樣扼殺在了搖籃里。
如果時(shí)光能夠倒流，我多么希望前排的男生是杰夫，這樣，當(dāng)我在人生中最尷尬的時(shí)刻，他能夠毫無在意地拍拍我的肩膀，告訴我，我不是一個(gè)沒良心的人，這一切都是該死的“giggle loop”的錯(cuò)。
舍不得看完啊，jeff絕唱季ToT...Steve對toilet的那段演說真他媽笑死我了, blessed pot哈哈哈！fortress of solitude哈！哈！哈！和之前對靠墊和lesbian spank的一樣醍醐灌頂?。。∽詈笠患哪嵌蜸ally的表白真是邊哭邊笑還被虐?。。?！
Steve, Patrick, Jeff是真愛三人組啊?。?/p>
S03E07
結(jié)局真的是巨感人，sally說，自己為patrick瘋狂的時(shí)候也真的好感動啊。
Steven Moffat is such a genius.
好看死了！
記得這個(gè)還沒看完 于是晚上又偷偷翻出來看 大半夜的 笑慘我了。。。jeff咋這么搞呢。。。每次看他都會笑翻。。steve慷慨激昂的長篇大論~~~雖然中途小虐了一次 最后還是很歡樂啊~patrick和sally 治愈了~~話說可能最后一集的名字叫做perhaps,perhaps,perhaps,所以我聽主題曲就更有感覺了。。。
后兩季不比第一季
Jeff大抽抽 哇咔咔
看了許多遍之后，每回都有不一樣的感覺，這一季我最喜歡的是patrick和sally之間，最后一集最后一段實(shí)在太耐人了，又哭又笑的，我看了好幾遍啊??！

不知道為什么到結(jié)尾竟然想哭。。。
