优点1:情节轻松自如。老是有自己漏了一集没看的错觉……感觉编剧想到啥就写啥。就算这么跳脱,写出来的东西还是没有隔阂,这也是一种才能吧otz 不过,这样写也能看懂的原因,大概是因为它是一部没什么大情节的喜剧吧。而且编剧就是导演,感觉会比较能hold住这个问题。
优点2:生活化的喜剧。在哔哩哔哩上它有两个标签,一个“治愈”,一个“致郁”,这都是真的……我想到了《阳光小美女》,它们是同一种类型的喜剧。用平常甚至搞笑的语调,去说一个无奈又带点哀愁的故事。它说得那么平淡,这确实就是生活啊。
然后我还担忧一个问题,我觉得这种片子其实是“一次性”的东西。如果创作人只专注于讲自己的故事,只留意自己心境相关的内容,那么他一生就只能讲好一个故事。他说不了别人的故事。
Is Josh Thomas's show too gay for ABC1?
Colin Vickery & Darren Devlyn From: National Features February 27, 2013 8:18AM
IS Please Like Me too gay? That is what Josh Thomas is asking as he prepares for the debut of his new TV comedy.
Please Like Me was originally set to screen on ABC1 last year but has been shunted into digital channel ABC2.
Thomas plays twentysomething Josh who lives with best mate Thomas (Thomas Ward) and, at first, is in a steady relationship with girlfriend Claire (Caitlin Stasey).
Claire splits with Josh, telling him that he is obviously gay. His despair is short-lived when young hunk Geoffrey (Wade Briggs) enters the scene.
Geoffrey wants to get physical with Josh. Cue lots of man-on-man kissing, bed scenes, and jokes about sex.
Later, Josh is forced to move back into the family home after his divorced mum Rose (Debra Lawrence) overdoses.
Please Like Me has a sweetness that sets it apart from other boundary-pushing comedies such as Chris Lilley's Angry Boys and Summer Heights High which happily found a home on ABC1.
The ABC insists the gay content isn't the reason Please Like Me was shunted to ABC2, where it is sure to attract a smaller audience.
"The tone of Please Like Me and the issues discussed are principally aimed at an audience in their early 20s," an ABC spokesperson says.
"Since ABC1 is largely a channel of mass appeal that tends to attract an audience with an average age the other side of 35, we decided the best home for Please Like Me was ABC2."
Thomas isn't convinced.
"They told me it (the switch to ABC2) was a compliment. I don't believe them," Thomas says. "I don't know if what they were really saying was, 'Josh the show is a bit s---' or, 'Josh the show has too much suicide and gay sex in it'.
"People have suggested to me that (too gay) is why they did it (put it on ABC2). I would be shocked if that's why but I also wouldn't be."
If Thomas is right, this wouldn't be the first time networks have become squeamish about gay content.
In 2009, Aussie Melissa George played bisexual intern Dr Sadie Harris on Grey's Anatomy.
There was speculation her character would have a full-blown screen romance with Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez). The show's creator, Shonda Rhimes, changed tack after George started filming. George initially signed for between eight and 11 episodes, but finished early.
Her exit followed that of Brooke Smith, who played lesbian Dr Erica Hahn in the medical drama. Smith was dropped after her character consummated her relationship with Callie.
Gay lobby group, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, expressed its concern about the short-lived nature of the Callie-Erica storyline, which initially had been hailed as a breakthrough for mainstream American television.
That same year, Channel 7 censored a lesbian kiss between policewoman Charlie Buckton (Esther Anderson) and deckhand Joey Collins (Katie Bell) in Home and Away.
Seven's decision came after complaints about the lesbian storyline from conservative lobby groups.
"The plot lines that young kids and teenagers should be presented with should be about really authentic relationships that are not just sexualised," Pro-Family Perspectives director Angela Conway said.
Anderson had said she had no problem with the scene.
"I don't think it's like I'm lifting the lid on something they don't already know about," Anderson said. "To me, there's no difference love's love."
US producers have used the controversy surrounding lesbian kissing scenes to boost ratings in TV shows. First there was Amanda Donohoe and Michele Green in LA Law, then Jennifer Aniston's Rachel kissing Winona Ryder's Melissa on Friends and Mischa Barton going girl-on-girl in The O.C.
In the late '70s, Billy Crystal played gay son Jodie Dallas on Soap, but he later admitted to early misgivings about taking the role.
In 1997, comedian Ellen DeGeneres went public with her homosexuality on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
There was an early backlash but DeGeneres is now one of the most successful and admired women on American television.
Number 96's gay lawyer Don Finlayson (Joe Hasham) was a groundbreaking character on Australian TV. Water Rats featured another notable gay character, Sgt Helen Blakemore (Toni Scanlan).
Neighbours introduced gay character Chris Pappas (James Mason) in 2011. To its credit, the Ten soapie didn't use Chris's sexuality to shock.
This was no cynical ratings grab. Instead, the soapie dug deeper to show that Chris's sexuality was only one aspect of his personality.
"The good thing about Chris is that he is an ordinary person who is a mechanic and happens to be gay," Mason has said.
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/tv-radio/is-joshs-show-too-gay-for-abc1/story-e6frf9ho-1226586521979This is life. Life can be shit sometimes. No need to sugar coat it.
I really like Aunt Peggie.
And you may not be ready for growing up and taking responsibilities.
Every character is so lovely yet has obvious minor defects at the same time. (Except for Tom's ex, she really is quite an annoying character without any lovable tracts)
And Sometimes you met a gorgeous person but still you cannot get it right.
Geoffrey is so gorgeous and handsome OMG. On the other hand he seems to be too pushing. It freaks people out especially Josh who is immature and not ready. Clearly Josh is not ready for a mature relationship, yet Geoffrey is craving for one. So it's not strange that things didn't work out for them.
一直没敢看。。。。就怕剧情和一般bl剧一样苦大仇深。。。。。好来下定决心看了以后发现真他么好看!泛着星星眼又看了两遍(人间好攻哪里去寻嘤嘤嘤~~~)
这片儿并没有看上去那么唯美有爱,男主长得用他自己的话说像是个五十岁的巨婴,而且娘到不行。男猪脚的妈妈是个抑郁症上来就自杀,男猪脚的好基友又囧又渣,明明喜欢克莱尔还非得跟那个肥妹不分手。。。克莱尔是男主的ex,美丽大方善良的一条好女汉子,听说没和直男谈过恋爱也没有朋友,爸爸话唠软弱跟泰妹一起还时时刻刻忘不了前妻,泰妹巨凶像一只母老虎,peg阿姨是个顽固的老太太还恐同,帅小攻虽然帅人见人爱倒是控制欲强到不行经常黏人还是个接吻狂人。。。。。所有人都有这样那样的问题,一家子屌到极致还经常相互吐槽。。。。
可是这个年代唯美又有什么用?弄不好就成了矫情,成了没有矛盾但必须找出矛盾最后一脸狗血啊。
这也不是什么轻喜剧,一点也不!真心的!虽然不苦大仇深(我最怕的一类详情请参见天佑鲍勃那种),但是各种虐啊!爸爸和妈妈明明相爱还是离婚还是见面吵架各不相让有没有啊!?小基友被他那个胖女友玩儿残了最后和女汉子在一起多不容易啊啊啊!!渣小受各种炸毛动不动就跟忠犬攻分手有自作孽不可活最后玩脱了啊!peg死了!!!!!!!!!!!!!!卧槽!!!!妈蛋!!说好的轻喜剧小清新呢?!明明是鲜艳的颜色活波的主题曲,明明第一次HE(未果)激萌成样!大结局居然没让两个小弯男在一起啊啊啊魂淡!!说好的轻喜剧·我他妈从第一集就泪目了。。。。无力吐槽啊。。。说多了都是泪。。。
这种不唯美也不快乐的六集小品剧为什么我要力荐?还不是因为萌点和感动太多(你就是因为小攻有裸戏才这么说的对不对!捂脸><)。心里话虽然这片子和我想象的那种不太一样可它确实真真正正地打动了我,它的真实和坦诚,戏虐和无可奈何哪一样都打动了我永远闷骚的内心。爸爸各种不给力但是在最关键的时刻保护了泰妹,妈妈抑郁的要死但还是用各种方法让自己不消沉下去努力生活,男主神经质好事不会安慰人可是还是承担下了家里的一切乱子,好基友死宅软弱但最后还是勇敢地选择了自己的真爱,peg姨(有爱到爆)恐同但是还是无私地接受了自己的孙子是生活模式用各种方式一边嫌弃一边爱护,小攻呆呆的还强迫症可是帅到不行还巨温柔人见人爱,女汉子克莱尔终于交到了直男男朋友,泰妹是个温柔懂事的好母老虎。
这个片子讲的是基友的故事,可是我看到的更多的是真实的亲情爱情和友情,这些情感淡淡的在片子的每一处都感动别人。看了以后你会明白没有人会改变,你永远不能改变别人的想法,可是没有人因为自己的偏见无法撼动,你不能强求别人抛弃宗教信仰、性向歧视、种族不公、文化差异、年龄鸿沟、性格缺陷,没办法这些没法改变,但是如果爱是一切的前提这些种种就都次要了(矫情了矫情了)。
我们生活在一个无可无奈何的社会之下,很长时间里这个我们可能看不上的世界无理取闹地非得让我们去爱它珍惜它。其实我们又何尝不是呢?我们有这样那的毛病,可是谁不是像无赖一样地渴望别人的认同和赞赏?
so,please like me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~没羞没臊毫无节操的分割线(严重剧透)~~~~~~~~~~
泪点:男主第一次默默流泪、小攻雨中出现、peg姨在教堂的讲话和她葬礼上的遗言(操哭死我了好么)、小受宅男女汉三人组切蛋糕那一幕、善良泰国妹子的后两集、妈妈和小受的最后一幕T T
萌点:小受和小攻呆呆二人世界、小受扭转走路娘炮声线、里面所有动物、每次op、泰妹口音和土豹子澳洲英语、小攻一切(撒花~~~)、每次唱的那个傻歌等等等等。。。。。。。。。。
槽点:结局、、、、(绝壁是卧槽这样也行编剧被狗舔了吧虐啊妈的)
PS:编剧是主演。。。。。所以说脑补是多么凶残的一件事
4星半 突然发现散漫的结构+轻戏剧性完全是我的那杯茶 看似零碎的故事和时而蹦出的精妙台词 有些设定虽然解释不通 Geo这么就会喜欢上Josh呢 但一切又不疾不徐地发展得合乎情理 Josh对Geo确实没那么动情 他懒散被动自私逆来顺受缺乏判决力又害怕寂寞 可我又在Josh身上看到无数自己的影子 才觉得格外贴切
又干净又温暖,真的棒死啦。
我需要/想念/理解/支持/想干你,都不是我爱你。
剧情清淡,意外的看得下去。1.呆到深处自然萌,男主性格像徐国(担心你哟)2.澳洲英语很有趣啊,既有BE的撇呛,又有AE的卷舌,还挺好听的。
生活会慢慢露出它的獠牙.开初只觉幽默,总嫌没厚味.后半则诸矛盾上浮碰撞变形再沉没,依然懒散气,却让人目不转睛.回头看看整个故事结构平衡巧致,角色在其中空虚着不清醒,又因诚挚而实在地活着.伤感轻轻漂浮.调度用心,漂亮细节很多.叙事节奏也有意思,尤其每个"漏看一集?"的开头.音乐不错,竟听到久违的5678
又可爱又真实 又好笑又伤感。请拍第二季!!!!!!!!!快点拍快点拍快点拍(敲碗~~~)!!!!!josh和geo请在一起!!!在一起在一起在一起(敲碗~~~)!!!!!!姐姐告诉乃们!乃们这个样子是做不了朋友的!!!!!!
josh个白眼狼!!!!就会欺负geoffrey!!!
amazing! 前三集又软又萌后三集笑点泪点萌点虐点大乱炖 josh太棒!
戏不错,男主很可爱,Geoffrey不错,拍得相当幽默,很写实,相当喜欢
台词写的很棒,幽默感就像在看一场脱口秀,情节松散,小男友太萌。★★★
Josh的脸就像那本畅销书名字:《我是个年轻人,我心情不太好》。他那种两手像企鹅翅膀一样翘在腿侧、跳跳蹦蹦的走路姿势蠢萌蠢萌的。Geo是无死角美男。第三集的小细节:Geo和Josh在Tom家过夜,然后一大早全家人去教堂。Geo穿的灰格子衬衫很眼熟,进度条拉回去一看,咦,那衬衫就是Josh前一天穿的
没想到这个清新温暖治愈的故事拍摄地竟然在猫本,好喜欢Josh萌萌的澳洲口音还有他的心态,六集看下来真的觉得蛮美好的。。也不知道会不会有第二季了,不过会一直持续关注Josh Thomas这个人的。
MY NEW FAVORITE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!
好喜欢Geoffrey!!!好可爱!!!傻傻的!!!Josh真令人讨厌!Geoffrey deserves a better man!这个就这么结束了?!G做了一个还算明智的选择!
说温情喜剧的你们绝对都是阳光明媚好少年。明明色彩明亮,但看得人就是一股子孤独和无可奈何。疏离、隔膜、感情匮乏、无处安放的心,就像G最后说Josh的话——你只有在alone的时候才会想起我。生活里有那么多矛盾凌驾于爱之上,又总是输给爱。这也许就是为什么我们一直唾弃人生却又总是努力振作活下去。
虽然长一副50岁巨婴的脸,但是男主真的是越看越可爱,每次看到就散发出姨妈般的痴笑,想冲上去揉头发。剧情松散,集数篇幅也短,整部片子不强灌鸡汤,要说的都在影片细节里。
好好看啊
All I want to have and want to be. Josh Thomas自编自演的这部剧很容易让人想起Simon Amstell的在外婆家,希望也能像在外婆家一样推出第二季。
结构过于散慢的喜剧,很多地方都想快进。不过男主和小男友这条线真是太亮了,现实里哪儿去找这样一个又帅又专情、体贴加超MAN的男友啊?结局很唏嘘,但又似乎必然如此——我想我可能不会爱你...
澳洲版“分手后”,只是各方面都略逊一筹,没有足够的代入感,也没有合理化的剧情让人信服,男主的外貌和性格都让人生厌。
