Ma Nan, first name Bojack, last name.

Horseman, neither Juan Fu nor Li Yong, but really a horse. In the animation, he is the star of the popular sitcom "The Ridiculous Pony" in the 1990s, which is related to "I don't know how to stay at home after a party."

Todd, a human loser, lives in a villa he bought when he was young. He is a washed-up male star, smoking and drinking, without a film contract, sitting in the villa every day and watching the TV series starring himself over and over again, immersed in the glory of the past;

Is a 50-year-old single man, occasionally with his ex-girlfriend and agent Princess.

Carolyn plays Monday morning quarterback, and even has sex with a degenerate adult child star who once played his own daughter in the play ... Besides, he is a funeral.

Bereave than wake up every morning is bereavement than. The opening credits, the magic.

As soon as the music started, Ma Nan stared at his big eyes full of panic, uncertainty, anxiety and sadness. A horse face of wait for a while stood in front of the camera, allowing the background scene to change day and night-until a bright beam of sunshine.

Stabbed him in the eye, so he put on sunglasses and lay in his swimming pool, closing his eyes to block out the world-as if he could avoid all the unhappiness.

Great loss ratio. He is selfish, narcissistic, arrogant and conceited; Self-destruction, self-deception, self-blame, self-abandonment.

When I was painting in bilibili, words like "scum", "rotten people" and "sad" floated in almost every episode of the barrage. Yes, we really hate bereavement. But people who like this animation say that they can always see their own shadow in Ma Nan.

The ending song sings: "I'm more horse than a man, or I'm more man than a horse."

The screenwriter is really annoying. He puts the dark side of human nature on a horse, and then shows it to the audience: Well, did you see that you and this bereavement are both like a horse?

We hate Ma Nan just as Ma Nan hates himself-the truest self. An unlovable and even ugly "self" left after all the shells have been stripped off.

But Ma Nan himself didn't find this so quickly-at least before he met Diane. He has been living in the "past" of self-deception, and the most eager thing is that "everyone likes me and doesn't want to live as a joke". After meeting Diane, what he longed for most became "making Diane like me and recognize me".

So I really want to talk about Diane.

Diane is my favorite character. She is a gunman writer of Ma Nan, a Vietnamese immigrant, and has a surname "Nguyen" that Ma Nan can't pronounce correctly. Handsome and quiet, methodical, wearing glasses, eyebrows are always slightly frowning-a kind of nervous and tangled state, as if always questioning and denying.

In the animation, people like Diane are labeled as Zoe. This label is so rude but so precise that it is better than discussing constellations.

Who is Zoe? In animation, Zoe and Zelda are twins in a sitcom. Zelda is sunny, funny and outgoing. And Zoe is her opposite, smart, acerbic and introverted.

no

But the difference between the two is not just the difference between introversion and extroversion. There is also a little essential difference-in my opinion, it lies in their subtle relationship with life/self. Zelda people rarely worry about this relationship, there are

Some people are superficial, some people are simple, and some people are comfortable; Or, in their view, this is not a problem at all. Zoe, we are often sensitive to this relationship, like picking out small bones in the skin, being picky and one-sided.

The filar silk is free and strict.

This "relationship" is reflected in many things, such as socializing.

Ma Nan first got to know Diane because he was invited to write an autobiography by the editor of Penguin Publishing House (really a poor penguin). However, Ma Nan is seriously procrastinating and can only brag about himself. How can he write a book? So the penguin editor suggested that the girl should write a book for Ma Nan.

he

The children first met at a party hosted by Ma Nan. Diane is obviously a wall-flower, holding a cup at a loss. Ma Nan came to talk to her, and the first thing she said was, "Sorry, I'm at a party.

I always feel particularly uncomfortable in the world. Look at those people over there. Why can't I have fun like them? I was never invited to any party when I was in high school ... "

Oh, my god I saw this.

The son patted his thigh: Diane, I am also a party intolerant! Walking crowd, grandiose music, twisting body, dazzling communication and interaction, meaningless chat ... I have to emphasize this.

It is difficult for me to feel happy in the formal field. Awkwardness often comes from the feeling of wasting your breath and effort when interacting with people. Maybe we are both people who are hard to be infected by collective emotions.

Of course, Zoe and Zelda are not so incompatible and diametrically opposed. Two kinds of people can intersect, such as love.

Diane

I have a boyfriend, a golden retriever named Mr.Peanutbutter. Diane is typical Zoe, and Mr. Peanut Butter is typical.

Zelda: He is passionate, simple and lovely, optimistic in everything and loyal to his friends. At the party, it is the kind of small universe center that laughs and greets friends. It's a good dog.

But is it too different for two people to be together? Anyway, some people think they are not suitable-for example, Diane's ex-boyfriend Wayne. Buzzfeed reporter is in the animation, which is Diane's colleague.

Wayne said to Diane, I don't think you two are suitable. Do you know why? Because you are obviously a Zoe, but you always try to be a Zelda.

Diane retorted, yes, you are smart, you are sophisticated, and you are cool. But you are too mean. Mr. peanut butter is nice. He is very kind to me! You don't know me at all.

Wayne said that you can live a happy Zelda life in this happy Zelda city and continue to pretend to be a happy Zelda. But I know you. This is not you. People are hard to really change.

You see, Mr. Peanut Butter is a carefree and loving Zelda, but like me, we are cynical, pessimistic and mean-we are all Zoe.

So don't bury your dark side deeply in the taco, it will come out one day.

We're all Zoe. With such sincerity, Wayne really knows Diane-someone who knows her in essence.

Yes, Diane really can't pretend to be a Zelda. But in love, does she really need this kind of understanding? Why does Zoe have to be with another Zoe?

As the old saying goes, it's easy to meet love, but difficult to understand it. But what Diane really needs is love.

Why do you say that? It's straightforward and in-depth in the animation: Look at her family of origin.

In the animation, Diane returned to her hometown after leaving home for five years, only because her father died. Her brother waited for her to come back to help collect the body like a cripple, and her mother was only cynical when she saw her. Diane spent a lot of time arranging the funeral, only to find that the brothers chopped their father into a paste ... Diane exploded in an instant.

Diane had a heart-to-heart talk with Ma Nan: I just hope they can be proud of me-even if it's just a little bit of relief.

Ma Nan said, well, I also come from a very bad family. Family is like a sewer valve. When you have a chance to stay away from them, please go away.

from

From many clips in the animation, Ma Nan and Diane are very similar in this respect-the alienation and coldness in the family when they were young, and the pseudo-intimate relationship between their parents' quarrels, which can't make them establish trust in the outside world and

A sense of security. So they will have anxiety and even hostility towards themselves. In the intimate relationship of attachment, what they need more is the positive feedback and trust support from the other side, not just sympathy and understanding.

To put it bluntly, Diane needs a warm man.

For example. Mr. Peanut Butter proposed this way: "We have many differences, but I think we bring out the best in each other. Just like you are chocolate and I am peanut butter. Perfect match! "

Diane happily agreed. When preparing for the wedding, Diane will be a little upset about whether a cookie heater should be put on the wedding registry. Mr. Peanut butter patiently comforted her like this:

"Hey honey, please close your eyes. Imagine, many years later, on a cold Sunday morning, I brought you newspapers and slippers, and you went into the kitchen ... Do you smell the biscuits? "

Diane: "Yes."

"If getting married puts you under a lot of pressure, we don't have to get married." Peanut butter added.

Seeing this, I really like this golden retriever from the bottom of my heart. He is so simple and direct, although a little stupid, but the sense of security reserved by his words is as warm as the cookie heater he described.

The truth of "love and understanding", in turn, is the story of Ma Nan and Diane: Ma Nan needs understanding and meets Diane's understanding of him, so he thinks he is "in love" with her.

However, the horse man who was with Diane was always a requester. He didn't, and couldn't, give Diane the love that Mr. Peanut Butter gave him, but just emphasized in his confession, "It's really hard to meet someone who knows you. I know I am not perfect, but when I am with you, I don't hate myself so much. "

So, when Ma Nan got drunk and went crazy because Diane was engaged to Mr. Peanut Butter, his ex-girlfriend's agent, Princess Carolyn, said, "You're not in love with Diane, you just think so because you hired her to listen to your story. “

So, after Ma Nan tried again and again to stop Mr. Peanut Butter from getting engaged to Diane, he finally went up to Diane and said:

"Am I destined to be such a person? I need you to tell me that I am a good person. “

The 50-year-old Ma Nan's eyes are full of child-like sadness. He woke up from his dream and asked the person who knew him: am I still saved?

horse

Men fall in love with her because they think they meet and understand, but Diane doesn't love him; Diane loved someone who knew her very well, Wayne, but they were not happy together. Diane is happy with Golden Retriever,

Because the golden retriever is Zelda, and Zoe, together with Zelda, can show the best of each other-I think when Zoe and Zelda are together, they are as different as when Ma Nan meets Diane.

I hate myself.

What moved me most was what Diane said from the bottom of her heart when she married Mr. Peanut Butter:

"I never thought I would get married. It's really strange to give the rest of your life to another person. How do you know what will happen in the future? But I realized that it doesn't matter if there are uncertain factors. Sometimes, people just need a little confidence. Mr. peanut butter, I want to have this confidence with you. “

Look, what a good word, confidence. When "jumping into the unknown", you and the other party can get this lucky promise together as a mortgage for the future to meet the possibility of loss-at this time, the self is also perfected in a stable experience.

I hope all Zoe in the world can meet such a Zelda. I also hope that all the bereavements in the world will eventually have a confidence.
