36 years old is an awkward age, divorced from the immaturity of young people, but not ready to meet the maturity of middle-aged people. Love, career and family come upon you, and you are caught off guard.

in the first episode of this is us, four people celebrate their 36th birthdays at the same time. On Jack36's 36th birthday, his wife, who was pregnant with triplets, gave birth. He was full of joy and looked forward to the arrival of the little angel, but the third child was stillborn. Kevin, a third-rate comedian, has been making a living by playing the role he hates. On this day, he completely broke out in front of the producer and all the audience on the set and fired himself. Kate, a fat girl, has been deeply troubled by being overweight. Even if she eats diet food, it tastes like chewing wax and her weight does not decrease at all. At the age of 36, she couldn't stand up after falling down because she was too fat. Randall, a black man who works in an investment bank, has a successful career. On his birthday, he found his father who abandoned him since he was a child. He thought he would scold his own father, but he took his sick father home and took good care of him. On this day, Jack and his wife Rebecca were in great pain, but under the persuasion of the midwife, they decided to adopt an abandoned black boy sent by firefighters. Yes, Kevin, Kate and Randall are the three children of Jack and Rebecca. Two generations celebrated their 36th birthdays on the same day and started their lives ... < P > This is the most dull American drama I have ever seen, without the thrill of The Walking Dead, the brain-burning analysis of Criminal Psychology and the dog-blood relationship of Gossip Girl. There are only scenes of you and me. However, such a popular plot has won numerous honors: nomination for best drama in the 74th Golden Globe Award, nomination for best drama in the 69th Emmy Award, and even a score of 9.5 in Douban.

The words most frequently mentioned by people after watching this drama are "warm" and "moved". There are no villains and intrigues in the play, but they quietly describe the middle-aged crisis faced by two generations when they are approaching 4 years old, and just calmly show how they face the crisis and know themselves.

It can be said that the honor of this drama is attributed to the editing skills of different spaces and staggered time, and the profound image-building of everyone's ordinary characters.

Jack is a perfect father. He devoted all his efforts to raising three children.

Randall, who was adopted, had an excellent IQ since he was a child, but in order not to look different from his brother and sister, he deliberately failed in the exam.

When Jack found out, he not only encouraged Randall to be himself, but also tried to send him to a better school for high-end education.

Kate, the second daughter, was laughed at by her classmates because of her obesity, and even less willing to play with her in the swimming pool.

after dad found out, he used a very interesting method to make Kate put on a T-shirt and told Kate that she would always be dad's little princess.

Kevin, the eldest son, has been competing with Randall for the favor of his parents, and he almost drowned in the swimming pool without being found.

When Kevin finally broke out, Jack realized his previous shortcomings in treating children. "This is my first time as a father, and I'm trying.".

Jack is also a perfect husband.

In order to give his wife a home she likes, Jack put down all his self-esteem to borrow money from his hated father and endured the humiliation from his own father.

When their marriage turned yellow, he began to drink heavily and was afraid to face his family. When he realized that he loved Rebecca more than anything else, he immediately gave up drinking and returned to his family.

Jack is a person who can create the greatest pleasure for his children and his wife under limited conditions. He is the foundation of the happiness of the whole family. No matter what problems they encounter, as long as Jack is around, they will feel at ease because they have strong support.

When Kevin grew up, he lived by a job he despised. When he decided to pursue his dream, he found that every step was so difficult. He was despised by other actors, screenwriters and directors, and some even told him to go home < P > It turns out that every decision you make needs to pay a price. Even if you take the first hard step, you can't always get the result you want ... < P > Fortunately, he is surrounded by his twin sister Kate who knows him best, his mother who can comfort him best, and the support of his childhood childhood sweetheart ... < P > Kate has no friends and no job because of her obesity, as she said, "I ate my dream away."

However, after getting to know her optimistic and humorous fiance, it seems that everything has changed. Kate began to realize the bright spot in herself and became less inferior and timid.

Randall, a black man adopted by a white family, was sensitive since he was a child. He was afraid of being abandoned and insecure. He tried his best to cater to the likes of people around him, which made him bear great pressure and pain.

It was not until Randall found his own biological father that he began to know himself and his roots, and he was proud of being an excellent black man.

his wife Beth is irreplaceable for Randall. She educates her two daughters attentively, and helps to take care of Randall's biological father with cancer. When she found out that Rebecca, her husband's adoptive mother, had concealed Randall's biological father, she asked her adoptive mother to take the initiative to admit to Randall that she would not allow any husband to cheat her. In her mind, Randall is a perfect existence, so she doesn't allow anyone to hurt Randall in any way.

two generations, of the same age, have encountered their own problems. Life is like this, it is like a naughty child, always giving you surprises and accidents before you are ready. Fortunately, it treats everyone fairly, and no one is an exception. Everyone has his own troubles, and life is not easy for anyone. The key is how we face it. What can determine the result is everyone's different attitude, and the world you see is a true portrayal of your own heart. No matter whether we live well or not, hope, courage, tolerance and optimism are the driving forces that support us to go on.

Just like when Jack lost his third child in the hospital, the midwife told him, "There's no lemon so sour, that you can't make something assembling lemonade". No matter how sour lemon is, there is always a way to turn it into delicious lemonade.

Life always hurts us all over, but with the company of people who love me, I have the courage to move on for them. The story is not finished yet, and life goes on. Being a child and a parent is the first time. There may be shortcomings and regrets, but what does it matter? It is the greatest luck to have your company all the way and our laughter. ..
