I'm sorry, can we stop for a second? I just, I feel like I need to say something, Barry.

[Barry: okay.]

This piece that I'm doing for class, is exactly what I should be doing.

[Barry: yeah I know it's great, what you're doing is…]

I'm terrified, okay? Because my piece is real. It's not a character, it's me. Raw, unapologetic truth with a capital T. All caps, actually, I'm thinking like a writer now.

I mean this was stuff I couldn't even talk about without lying, and here I am about just stripped naked in front of a bunch of strangers and share something I am massively ashamed of. Not literally, I don't believe in nudity, unless it drives the story forward.

I am afraid they're gonna judge me and I'm afraid that Sam is gonna find out and do something crazy, but I have to do this. It's my story to tell. But then so many other women have the same story. What, am I the spokesperson for them now? Could I be the face of the movement? I mean, what if I get it wrong? I resent the fact that Nick can get up there and talk about his stomach condition and it's not like he has to be the poster boy for bulimia but I get up there whatever I say it's like… "what are we saying about women?" … I mean, this is just MY STORY. "But what if you get it wrong, Sally?" "I don't know, you can't get it wrong Sally." "But you cannot tell either Sally, because it's who you are." Which makes the thing that my agent sent me on today so fucking insulting. 'Payback Ladies'? It's just another shit male idea of what strong women are. Oh oh ohh grab a gun and in some stilettos and it's gonna god damn blowout, and look how strong you are now! Sally! It's bullshit! Which by the way so is this, this is quite possibly the worst thing I've ever read, but you wanna know the worst part? You wanna know what's really driving me fucking crazy? I'm so jealous that you're reading for this, I've never had a director session for a feature, which is the same thing as a movie, P.S.. And I have been doing this for way longer, and I think you'd agree that I am way better. I… MADE YOU. And I'm actually represented by Gersh--well at least I was, I don't even know whether they rep me anymore after what I said in there today but still at least I held my ground because I am an artist, okay, an artist… and this is not fucking arts! But then, I mean, to be honest of course I am so happy for you! I mean, of course I want you to get this part and I want to be the one to help you learn your lines and fix your inflections but I need you to know that if you do get it, it's gonna make me like, like a hundred times more insane. Okay? … [Gasp.] Continue!

I'm okay with the fact that Sally doesn't really love Barry, not even a bit. She just feeds off Barry's indecisiveness and uses him as a bandage to cover her wound from both Sam and every other embodiment of "toxic musculanity" in her life; her intention for Barry is the same as what she said about Emma Stone's agent, that she wanted him to be her agent so that she could dump him when she got big. And I love the writing of Sally's character so much just because of that. She and Barry never really had a benign relationship, so what's the point of resenting her for being a bitch to him? Sally aspires for ascending. Barry takes pains in order for descending from a god-like place (which he was himself both unaware of and didn't know how to utilize) to the every-person mundaneness that Sally would give anything to leave behind.

Bill Hader is an instantaneously likeable person; the creator's monster, Barry Berkman, however, is not. The real touchstone of Barry's character is his absolute lack of character despite of him having the most sensational events of life. Even his dreams are so itchingly dull and devoid of intellectual self-reflection that it makes him pitiful to watch. To me, that's what makes Barry Berkman as should-be-just-another-male-leading-role in today's show industry utterly fanscinating; once they gave him a sharp character as if he were some kind of Macbethian anti-hero, all the magic would be lost. Indeed, the Barry/Macbeth parallel was drawn in Season One, but it was done so unpretentiously that it added almost nothing to our protagonist's personality; rather, it only spoke of the similarity between his real life tragics and the theatrical tragedy. That Barry had to go through partially what Macbeth did does not readily make him a Macbeth-like character. He is more ambivalent and less archetypical than that. He is the one left-out possibility of being a murderer that hasn't been discussed and tried out exhaustively up till now in the movie industry because of its unexcitedness. Sally, uncaring and narcissistic as she is, has no reason to see through the hollowness of his personality and learn that her boyfriend has been going through some shitty, incubating tormants and plights. (Actually there is more reason for her not to see that since her ignorance is a part of the comedy.) The transcendence from absurdity to ridicule is totally sensible to me, and it's so funny the moment you realize that how unrelatable yet sympathetic Barry's character is whereas how relatable yet obnoxious Sally's character is and that they are placed in a distanced, intimate relationship, struggling to move in two opposite directions while being stuck together in one storyline.

Barry is the freaking monster, who, I'm gonna say that again, could have been a god as he used to took lives without reason, mercy or regret but he chose to descend down towards the earth. Instead of turning into a human, he was forced by his humanity to become a monster. Sally is the most of the human race, who have been dreamt of ascending up towards the sky for tens of thousands of years. But they will never make it, neither will she--their monstrous cruelty keeps them safely tied to the ground while mutilating each other as human members. How can I help but name calling Barry and Sally as two ungrateful pieces of shit? As in the end they are both about just being the same person in different positions and over different time frames, I guess the joke is on me.

距離HBO的《權(quán)力的游戲》最終季回歸的時間，越來越近了，倒計時七天……

劇王馬上歸來，天天已經(jīng)按捺不住激動的心情了。

不過，在這個空窗期，HBO還有這幾部上乘佳作，拿來為大家熱熱身。

HBO的《副總統(tǒng)》第九季回歸，在豆瓣上拿到了9.4的高分，第九季也是它的最終季。

HBO還有一部喜劇《巴里》，力薦給大家，最近剛回歸了第二季。

《巴里》

Barry

又名《巴瑞》|第二季 |共8集

《巴里》又叫《巴瑞》，HBO出品。

由比爾·哈德爾Bill Hader自編自導(dǎo)自演的黑色喜劇。

比爾·哈德爾，說起來也是才華橫溢，閃閃發(fā)光。

集制片人、編劇等各種才華于一身，曾是“美國春晚”《周六夜現(xiàn)場》SNL的常駐嘉賓，綽號小芳，非常受觀眾喜愛。

從SNL出來之后，小芳把重心放在了電影、電視方面。

這部《巴里》，就是小芳自導(dǎo)自編自演的成果，他還憑借此劇拿到了第70屆艾美獎最佳男主角獎。

劇集《巴里》還獲得第76屆金球獎最佳喜劇類劇集提名、第70屆黃金時段艾美獎喜劇類最佳劇集提名。

媒體也是很認(rèn)可這部劇的。

被評為《紐約時報》2018年度十佳美劇之一，《娛樂周刊》十佳之一、美國電影學(xué)會（AFI）十佳之一。

故事呢？相當(dāng)清奇。

劇名Barry，也是主人公的名字。

Barry是一個殺手，抑郁不得之的那種。

過去曾是海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊的一員，退役后，在美國中西部地區(qū)被雇傭當(dāng)廉價殺手。

在無盡的殺戮中Barry變得麻木，覺得生活非常無趣。

第一季中，Barry新接到了一個任務(wù)，來自車臣黑手黨，要求Barry前往洛杉磯幫他們處理一件尷尬的事情。

這件尷尬的事情是，車臣黑手黨老大的老婆出軌了，所以，老大想把這個情夫給殺了。

Barry接受行動，尾隨目標(biāo)進(jìn)入了一家劇院，劇院里全是一幫懷抱演員夢想的咖啡師、服務(wù)員、酒保等，他們在這里學(xué)習(xí)演戲。

Barry的行動目標(biāo)是位健身教練，名叫Ryan，長相帥氣，身材也好，就是他和黑幫老大的老婆有一腿。

Ryan誤以為Barry是新來的學(xué)員，十分熱情，拉著他又是對臺詞，又是排練的。

Barry也生平第一次登上舞臺，感受到了人生中的熱血、興奮和激情。

而且，Barry覺得Ryan很善良，人很好，決定放棄殺他。

兩人在擁抱告別時，被車臣黑手黨的人看見了。

殺手沒有干掉目標(biāo)，反而在擁抱？車臣黑手黨的人蒙圈了。

一槍就擊斃了情夫Ryan，這也激怒了Barry，突突突幾槍把車手黨的幾個人一起干掉了。

但是，車臣黨的事情還沒完。

Barry自己也從此癡迷演戲無法自拔，決定轉(zhuǎn)行做一個演員。

甚至在等殺人目標(biāo)時，就得翻幾下《演員的自我修養(yǎng)》呢

好好的一個高收入殺手，非要做一個三流演員，這樣的Barry也是好可愛的。

但事情往往難以得償所愿，想要徹底遠(yuǎn)離殺人的行當(dāng)，沒那么簡單，Barry該怎么樣抹去血腥的過去？

主角的人物設(shè)定十分清奇，但是，《巴里》中的反派更讓人意外，甚至一度搶主角風(fēng)頭。

一胖一瘦，一狠一萌。

在如此清奇的人物設(shè)定下，《巴里》中還有各種觀眾料想不到的劇情。

既歡樂又荒誕，既無情又黑暗。

隨著越來越多的重要角色死亡，后面的劇情也越來越讓人上癮，人物性格更加豐滿，驚喜也更多。

第二季剛剛回歸了兩集生肉，一集熟肉。

但是，味道沒變，依舊在不斷的埋坑。

《巴里》的故事不僅僅停留在喜劇表面，它充滿了情緒和深度。

雖然看得人不多，但質(zhì)量上乘。

如果你感興趣，那天天已經(jīng)為大家備好了。

看美劇就來公眾號【天天美劇吧】

第一季我看的感覺是“我草，還能這樣拍”第二季看完我是感覺“我草，怎么這么拍呢”。第一季里的巴瑞，我覺得很驚喜的地方，在于他是一個有血有肉的人。最初的他是一個loser殺手，戰(zhàn)場生活和殺手生涯讓他漠視生命，麻木不仁，猶如行尸走肉。直到意外加入了表演學(xué)習(xí)班，不同以往的經(jīng)歷和人物關(guān)系。讓像是給他打開了一個新世界，就像一個被逼著學(xué)習(xí)到麻木的小孩子，第一次接觸網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲。這些未曾有過的體驗，讓他又“活了”過來。0

巴瑞在剛開始說他沒有人可以說以前的事

他在化妝間對莎莉說的那些說的那些話 少有的溫柔真誠 對她也是對他自己

老師是真的愛錢哈哈哈哈哈哈 也很善良

莎莉的角色我很矛盾 她真的很努力盡量不去靠別人 但偶爾我又覺得她很婊 演員演得真好啊 泳池那段很真實 bill說派那段把我笑死了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

兩位“父親”對戲 老師說他真的很為巴瑞驕傲?xí)r 哇哦 演得好好啊兩位 劇情好屌

期待第三季

另外我誠心覺得海報上的瞪眼芳使貴劇流失了一大批天朝潛在觀眾。okk Bill Hader becomes rad in North America now，但如果不是提前熟悉他，看到兩季海報正常人應(yīng)該都不會有什么探索欲望。

這他媽真的是一部很嚴(yán)肅的劇。如果《廣告狂人》中心在于身份探索問題，那么Barry講的就是身份面對問題。本質(zhì)上依舊是【我是誰】那一套，只不過Barry作為標(biāo)題人物又蠢又滑稽又可憐兮兮毫無欲望權(quán)力野心一般麥克白式白男主人公不這么寫罷了。畢竟是個喜劇。

這部美劇對我來說不好懂。相當(dāng)?shù)牟环现髁魉枷搿：煤玫淖咧髁髅绖÷肪€，動不動就歪一下要往坑里去。我也不是沒看過日子越過越糟的片子，但這種一路奔向末日的走鋼絲還真令人操心。

首先我就一直要為巴瑞操心，明明可以一條黑道大放異彩，非要洗心革面發(fā)展個人愛好，甚至想要洗刷自己安頓下來。但是犯過的罪不允許，身邊的壞朋友也一直在拉扯。明明很適合干壞事，可是一直想做好人，結(jié)果一直在殺人。

因為主線有兩條，黑道一條，戲劇學(xué)院一條，通常一部劇里只有一個主流價值觀，看多了黑道奮斗，就不會想到普通人的生活，偏偏這部劇里還要不斷用戲劇班上的人的臺詞來提醒巴瑞的黑道生活是多么驚世駭俗無法接受。

能把犯罪題材和戲劇培養(yǎng)題材融合在一起講一個故事，已經(jīng)是異想天開了，結(jié)果還結(jié)合得那么自然，那么有沖擊力，有張力，佩服。

巴瑞這個男主，一開始給人的印象是木訥的，呆。接著變得活潑，積極。本來是理智冷靜的，怎么又變得易怒沖動了。

巴瑞用戲劇里學(xué)到的東西去指導(dǎo)黑道的人生選擇，不得不說這就是很哲學(xué)的了。他在老師那里受到啟發(fā)，用來解決自己的難題。老師后來也有提到自己是心理咨詢師的角色，因此巴瑞也是在不斷的調(diào)整自己。

巴瑞有時候殺人下不去手，有時候卻很痛快。人命到底不是本身具有令人震撼的價值，只有那些疼愛的重視的生命才有價值。不認(rèn)識的人一條命都抵不上家里的一只雞。世界的另一頭一個偉人去世了，也不一定比家里的寵物死掉了更令人傷心。所以要看什么才是真正令人在乎的。

思緒很亂啊。
