心向快乐第一季

不算快，断断续续两天刷完吧。看的时候内心真的有太多太多的想法、声音还有共鸣了…总感觉片子就好像我自己的人生，感受到很多，在自我探索中的问题，与直女恋爱中的问题等等…

其实片子本本身确实也有可圈可点的地方，想很多短评也暴露出了每个人看这个片子的角度和侧重点，包括这当然也受个人经历的影响。

先从我觉得不足的地方着手，确实比起我以往看的很多les电影来说，比起那些，这部更加现实和现在，可能电影只有两个小时，所以不论《Blue is…color》（很多人也提到）或者最近看的《烧女图》，电影总是试图在两个小时把情感表达的最浓烈，剧情的曲折和复杂度也并不会这么高。也是因为这样的对比，所以总让我觉得Mae和G之间的感情不够浓烈。（但也可能是演员的问题也未可知）。

片子选了一条主线或者topic，就是所谓t（gay）与直女之间的爱情。在这很想提一下，其实很多人都并不想定义自己的取向，就像我自己，这也是我很有共鸣的一点，就像J在厕所里问Mae，你是lesbian吗？Mae说“我不想label myself”，这一点我就很有共鸣，我相信取向是流动性的，我看起来像tomboy就不代表我一定是gay，这便是一个探索自己的过程，限制住自己反而会让自己更struggle。

所以另外一个地方，这部片子在对于性取向的探索上也让我很有共鸣。我既有过G对于自己是否是gay而困扰，又很能理解Lava和Mae说，不要把时间花在不是你圈子不了解你的人身上。确实，直女在姬圈中就是一个非常棘手的存在。或者也如我所说，“并没有真正的直女，所谓直女是还没有找到能触动她的那个女孩。”

作为t不代表就不能女孩了。我太能理解Mae对与自己gender “in between”的那种感受了。“我既不是男孩，也算不上女孩，我就是freak”，这是很多queer可能都会有活动心理活动，总觉得自己的gender不能融入这个社会，以及这个社会对性别的定义，于是觉得自己是不被爱和奇怪的。但其实不是，我们，queer，要做到只是我们自己。

我对于这种小t 有点小撒娇太喜欢了。我真的很喜欢这种物理上的错觉，看起很帅气的女孩，但其实也有女孩的一面，内心的敏感，想要come的渴望，想被拥抱和爱，而且可0可1。我很欣赏Mae也是因为，她总是很平和（至少看起来），可能面瘫？哈哈哈哈。

我并不太想把它当成浪漫爱情片看，比起浪漫理想式爱情，这部更多的在反映，每一对les情侣，或多或少都会有过的、出现的问题。尤其是当她俩闹分手那一段，其实就很能看出问题。我太能理解，包括我自己也有过这种心理活动，和一个“直女”或曾有过男朋友的女生在一起，其实内心或多或少会有一种不满足，和差距就在于，自己不是男生，给不了一段“正常”婚姻或未来，该有的样子。我们也希望和自己爱的女人，可以相爱，making love，jizzing，and have a baby，但是我们不可以，因为我们不是男人。

但退一步，如果我们要这么想，那便又是把自己局限住了…

在她俩分手以前那一次sex，也是里面对我最有感觉的一段…当G感觉快要come的时候对Mae说“come inside me…”，其实这几句真的很伤人，也很戳，正中下怀的感觉。Mae的回复也真的太精准了：“ I would love to，but I physically can't！” 这正是我们所缺失，但也是最大的不同。 It reminds me of me and my ex, I am obsessed with making love with her, but the only thing missing is that I really hope I can go inside her, and either she, when we were high. That is supposed to be a “normal” sex....

我也很赞同这是一部关于诚实的影片，不论在爱情、工作、生活中，其实我们都要保持诚实，才能让双方顺利的沟通。

每次Mae和G有争吵的时候，两边说的话其实都很有道理。（争吵的台词写的很tricky）各有各的理，只是有没有站在对方的角度考虑。比如在party上，G想和朋友们出柜，就希望Mae不要老盯着她，自己去跳舞，但Mae觉得，你如果要出柜那就大大方方牵着我的手帮我化解尴尬啊。其实两方都没有错，但两边必须相互理解。包括G和Binky后来的谈话，G埋冤B他们在她分手后不来问候，B觉得如果你是真的伤心那就主动来和我们说啊，你不和我们说就好像不是真爱一样。其实两边也都在理，看谁能先理解谁。聪明人就不要去纠结了。

至于说t粘人的，可能是每个人经历不同，我觉得这种依赖挺顺理成章的，作为一个父母那么刻薄的t，包括小时候有过那么多创伤，能到现在这样温柔可爱善解人意，真的是奇迹了，当然不可避免，她真的需要一个人依靠和拥抱。

感受就写到这，HE我很满意，当然如果拍第二季，未来可能还会有更多的问题冒出来。也期待第二季，更期待自己能有个女朋友，好想谈恋爱啊啊💕💕

btw，还想再提一下，Mae在里面真的是赚大了🙃各种人都亲了一遍，见谁就问“do u wanna have sex...”哈哈哈哈哈。而且每次还一脸面瘫的“that will be so cool.”太可了哈哈哈哈。

还有对于那个老师说，“如果你不教孩子们LGBTQIA这方面的话题那是你的问题，这是sexual health课程…你们班还有两个学生是trans呢！”真的很暖心，为学校有这样的开明的眼光感到开心。

End…

The series reminded me of my very personal experiences. I somehow feel to be the combination of both Mae and George. How? Mae is much needed. And George is surrounded by those mean "friends".

I left my hometown about 4 years ago. In a new city, with everything new, I tried to stay connected to my old life - those friends, those habits, basically everything I can. But things can not always be that ideal. Trying to hold on to every person around me made me really hard. I had to tolerate their bad habits, their judgement, and even sometimes discrimination. Until today, I am still doing those things, trying to please others. I know that's not a great way to let others know me. I keep on putting others feel good as the first principle to communicate with others. That's bad, not only for me but for them.

Maybe someday, or starting today, I should stand up and defend myself, and my values. It's not necessarily intensive as what George does in the show. I can explore a new way, my way.

As for the part like Mae, there's too much to say. The writing is superb for effectively showing how Mae is dependent on George. I am insecure in almost all my relationships, while most of them suck. I have taken considerable time in figuring out the relationship. Do those guys fancy me, or do they merely treat me like a sex toy, a method to kill time? I always need some confirmation, and I mean it it's always. I am afraid the status is not synchronised with the other. I may make some move far beyond. I may take the other my whole world. I may, just like Mae, get addicted to the other. Is that good? After the show, I am still confused. Those questions always pop up in my mind. Will he still pay attention to me after he has completely got me? Will he still enjoy my terrible jokes? Am I still making him comfortable? Will I get abandoned one day? I get addicted because of my lack of confidence, our difference and my bad memories, maybe.

In the series, Mae relapses. Will I relapse just like her over and over? Let's see.

最近的下饭剧从压抑的纪录片换成了《feel good》（不要被《心向快乐》这个傻白甜译名骗了），

大概25分钟一集的时长正好吃个饭能看完。

看第一集尤为畅快欢乐，

女主叫Mae，是个T，在酒吧说单口喜剧（脱口秀）。

女二George坐在台下get到了她的每一个笑点，然后主动在表演结束后去找了Mae。

喝酒的时候两个人还玩起了常见的喝酒游戏：

一方提问另一方回答，撒谎或者回答慢了就要喝酒，喝完提问角色互换。（我跟朋友玩的时候规则是这样的剧集里应该也差不多）

Mae开始提问，

-“你几岁？”

-“when did you lose your virginity?”

-“你最喜欢的电影是什么？”

然后轮到了George，

-“你来英国多久了？”

-“披头士里你最喜欢谁？”

-“Are we on a date?”

——我们在约会吗？

气氛开始诡异起来。

Mae开始结巴，

幸好她朋友走过来说了一番话，临走前说，

“enjoy your date.”

Mae顺着话说，“他说我们算在约会那就应该是吧。”

George说，“我以前从来没有和女孩子约过会。”

Mae问，“那你和女孩子接吻过吗？”

George说，“当然。”

气氛彻底变得暧昧，以尴尬的形式表现出来，

两个人都低头喝了一口酒。

在Mae抬头继续提问“你喜欢电影吗？”的时候

George的一句“你想吻我吗？”打断了掩饰两人心绪的游戏。

然后她们接吻了，Mae大脑中的盲音响起，

背景里酒吧的条状霓虹灯宛如电压不稳忽暗忽明。

看的时候我心里的想法是

这不是典型的crush吗？完全可以投稿到“我今天遇到了一个crush”小组的程度。

然而这只是第一集，

甚至在第一集还没结束的时候问题就展露出了残酷的冰山一角。

接下来陆陆续续涉及到LGBT/addict/原生家庭各种细碎不足为外人道的烦扰：

George作为侄女不想向朋友公开她和Mae的关系，

Mae做为addict（自称已经戒了）却偷偷藏了止痛药，

还有Mae十多年被赶出家门和表面看上去和谐无比的原生家庭倒刺般扎在心里的问题。

大家都爱看crush，热烈甜美如烈火烹油，

初遇时候对方展露出来的闪闪发光之处令人着迷，

而关系变成恋爱之后总有各种各样的烦恼，

更不要说组成家庭、养育子女等后续缠缠绵绵无绝期的鸡毛蒜皮了。

剧集也不会只有第一集前半部分光鲜漂亮的热恋环节，

毕竟是改编Mae的现实经历拍出来的，

重点完全放到了烦恼和解决烦恼上。

正如《亲爱的小孩》被批恐婚恐育，

而最令人恐惧的地方是这就是真实故事改编的，

这就是所有被社会教导毫不知情地轻易踏上婚姻这一条暗藏荆棘之路的女生被一带而过的那部分。

虽然每个人都在经历自己现实的烦扰，

喜欢看crush这种拥有完美甜味的故事也情有可原，

但正因为如此，这些聚焦现实的剧集才值得一看。

毕竟我们说到底还活在现实里，

我想或多或少心思细腻的人都会对此产生一丝共鸣。

Yes, I titled my review by using Jeanette Winterson’s biography for reference. It is true if you look it up in Douban, a Chinese version IMDB/Facebook, Feel Good will in the recommendation list as the searching result. In this website, people retitle this show as ‘Drunk in London’. It is accurate to use Drunk to describe the main character Mae Martin’s life predicament. She wants to get on the right path but couldn't help making a mess, she tries to be normal but cannot get rid of the psychological hint that ‘You need to accept you have a problem’, she wants to build up a stable intimate relationship but loses control due to emotional insecurity. But I still prefer the original title ‘Feel good’. It is hard to be normal in this high-demand world, feeling good is enough.

The encounter

After watching the series in one sitting, I can safely say Mae Martin is the second gay girl character I feel myself fall in love with after Anne Lister in Gentleman Jack. (Sorry, Suranne!) She is a special friend being with me in this strange self-isolation period. Can I call it love in the time of cholera? I couldn’t help replaying the scene Mae and George encountering and kissing in the pub. How romantic it is when you find someone in the crowd only laughing at your stuff, getting your point while you’re being ignored by others. England’s rose and the Canadian corn are like a blazing fire and dry wood. It is not all about how a tomboy chase a straight girl and how a straight girl seduce an unconfident lesbian. This is a vibrant start that I bet each girl is longing for. You might have a relatable journey that you are falling for a person who is not of the same clan but you think the fate drops from the clouds and the refreshing relationship will be working between you two. After oversharing with a stranger, you believe you have a bond and that’s hard to find in life.

Things usually happen like that, but most beautiful encounters will not end in well. Five minutes past, Mae and George are standing inside and outside the curtain, which implies George is stepping into her life and will be a part of her story. In fact, it does. This is the most subtle camera structure in EP1. It reminds me of how I met my exes, how we consume each other and how I lost them in the end. I suddenly realise I see my own reflection in Mae’s pupils when she says ‘I am not intense’.

Between normal and abnormal

It is rather to say Feel Good is a dark story than rom-com. At least, let’s say it is a heart-breaking life story dress like a love story. Mae Martin's tribulations she experienced in her career, family, and relationships are the main topics of the show. Before that, I’ve had enough of messy ‘permutation and combination’ style relationships in The L Word. Hetero audience hunt for novelty in LGBT TV drama but ignore character’s daily concerns as ordinary persons. They also have issues of how to repair the parent-child relationship, how to express who they really are in front of their friend who is always in the dominant position. Feel good has a unique texture with life-like characters. Each character in this show is so real. Their witty dialogues tickle my fancy all the time.

I can feel the director and the writer manage to keep up a high level of real emotions throughout the show and they capture characters’ dazzling personalities with a brisk pace. In this story, Mae and George are both like premature babies in the incubates, waiting for growth to be big, confident flowers. The director did not portray them as aliens but show strong empathy to care their own inner development. We witness their journeys in pain and sober.

My inner journey of watching "Feel Good" is like a roller-coaster.

E1: Oh!!! Mae and George are just adorable!

E2: Well...I changed my mind. I'd better stand for Mae and Lava?

E3: It is a bloody embodiment of "Please never date a straight girl unless you want to date for floods of tears."

Mae is an authentic, awkward, blunt, needy, sensitive girl with forlorn hope on George’s love. In her whole life, she has felt she is not in the right place. There is ‘other place’ she supposes to be. She thinks people are just swapping one addiction for another, while George is her another addiction. My favourite scene is in the EP3. Mae feels humiliated and a bit angry when being told to enjoy the party. Her confession broke my heart for real.

‘You grew up rich and white and straight and hot, you won the lottery. Of course, you want to dance. You're surrounded by people that want to fuck you. Of course, I don't want to dance in front of people that would have bullied me in high school. And you are too ashamed to touch me. If you want me to feel confident then hold my hand.’

It is not a gay thing. Any underrepresented people could relate to it. There used to be a moment you thought someone in the crowd could see you, but now you found this person knew nothing about your feelings. You notice the intangible huge gap between you. That really hurts.

As the representative of straight girl, Binky holds the opinion that ‘birds of a feather flock together’ by bring Mae and her lesbian cousin together. It is like saying ‘Hey gay girl should stay in your small bubble. That is the norm.’ You all know the hilarious result. Two girls hi each other and ‘see you’ soon. I laughed at this stuff not because there is less possibility for two Tomboys to fall in love with each other (on the contrary, they may slag off each other), but shocked by people’ ignorance that they think a lesbian will definitely like another lesbian since your are of the same kind. Come on. We are all human beings having clear love and hate. The gentle satire to some self-righteous people is one of the highlighted moments in this show. Sorry, your norm is ridiculous.

People distorts the definitions of ‘normal’ and fasten it to the minority. I became to realise the reason why the writer did not let Mae choose Lava, another lesbian girl who’s crush on her, even though a lot of my friends stand for them. ‘If you were my girlfriend, I’d make you come in under a minute.’ is the coolest line in this show. Lava is cold but affectionate in her own way. The writer probably wants to break the stereotype that it is easier to love your own kind. I think Mae must bottle a hidden line up: Hey, I cannot love you just because you are lesbian too.

Reframe your self

After watching it a second time, I changed my impression of George. I shouldn’t have been so mean to her when I watched the first time last week. This time, I see her struggling in her new identity. She hurries so much to put lesbian label on herself by saying ‘I have a girlfriend’ to the wedding photographer and ‘I belong to here. I finger my girlfriend a lot’ to the bartender, in order to cover up her inner uncertainty. ‘Your sobriety. Your gender identity. Is there anything isn’t my responsibility?’ She is facing the greatest pressure in her life. Being with Mae is like pulling up seedlings in her mind to help herself grow, in friendship, and in the workplace. But actually, the key point is not about learning how to be a lesbian. Instead, she needs to learn how to express a real herself, uncover her real feelings to the people surrounded, just like Binky says ‘If you are bothered, just tell us.’

There is another storyline of Mae’s narcotics anonymous meeting. This kind of support group is quite common to see in British/American dramas, like Killing Eve and Flack. As a student with a coaching background, I feel negatively surprised to see team members sitting in a circle and saying ‘I am an addict’ followed by self-introduction. Is it really work to settle a matter by giving themselves psychological suggestion that they still have problems? Or they just gather to find I am not the worst one. In EP 4, Lisa Kudrow hits the nail on the head. Everyone feel better or you feel better when people address the elephant in the room? Every time when Mae suffers a setback in relationship with George, she turns to Maggie and Lava. However, the temporary sense of belonging is self-deception.

Like her mother, Mae is a strong, impulsive, stubborn women. But she also has the vulnerable side.

‘But you told me you loved me first. That was the best moment of my life. I’m embarrassed. I let myself think that someone like you could be with someone like me. I’m not a boy. I’m not even a girl. I’m like a failed version of both. Why am I such a freak?’

She has so many feelings. What she wants is being accepted as what she is, being stick with a new healthy addiction. That is George.

In the last episode in season 1, Mae decides to return to George. The plot seems to quite rush. I wouldn’t say they are the perfect couple and I still doubt the relationship will last. But I would like to regard them as a pair of ‘learning buddy’ in this journey. George is the still and quiet habitat and Mae is the Pac-Man. Story is over. Life needs to go on. They both have too much to learn, not only for love but for lives.

Alien they seem to be. No mortal eye could see. The intimate welding of their history. by Thomas Hardy

Other things I want to address

Besides main characters, each supporting role is so lovely: Phil, Binky, Mae’s father, the bartender, and the bellboy in horror hotel. I love the script! I am especially impressed by Mae’s father. He has the wisdom of affairs handling and can read people’s mind accurately.

"You are still and strong, you wear your heart on your sleeves, you are fiercely passionate."

‘Your young lady must be needing you now. She’s off on her own, adrift in uncharted seas.’

He is absolutely one of the best father roles I’ve ever seen.

Now I can say I am ready to graduate from Feel Good after finishing this review. Thank you, Lisa, you remind me of the scotch egg I’ve had in Yorkshire. I am glad you enjoy it too. I will probably visit Blackpool to see the beautiful sunset one day. See you guys in season 2!

我是T。我想被女孩推倒。我曾对亲密关系关系成瘾。我沉迷于女孩们的暗面。

注视着Mae Martin的时候，我感到被看见。

我的初恋来自离异家庭。我15岁的crush有抑郁症。我的前任同时有躁郁症和人格分裂症。我从未刻意因一个人的过去而选择她们，但somehow，they turned out that way.也许因为那种人格的张力不必隐藏也会隐约浮现吧。也许是因为我天生喜欢戏剧性，喜欢刺激。

And all didn’t end well.

情绪是会传染的。在高二的时候我曾经那么厌恶自己。一边大哭一边猛抽着雾化咖啡因的时候，在大雨里奔跑的时候，觉得自己空虚，孤独，一无是处。虽然我没有真的产生substance addiction，但那段为了控制睡眠而交替大剂量服用褪黑素和咖啡因的日子，现在想起来还觉得后怕。

...还有对亲密关系的焦虑。只要觉得无聊就会想找对方。只要对方不回就会觉得生命被抽干，觉得自己是一无是处的垃圾。会不安，会百爪挠心。

我在初三毕业的暑假打电话给我的心理老师，告诉她我爱上了一个抑郁症的女孩，我想帮她，我想和她做爱。老师要我保证我们会在“能闻得到阳光的地方”发生关系，然后告诉我，我救不了任何人，我做不了任何人的英雄。

如果受不了，我必须走。我必须先爱自己。

《心向快乐》回应了非常非常多有关LGBT社群生活的亚主题：挣扎的自我认同、痛苦的过去、“出柜”对伴侣关系造成的张力，甚至当George眉飞色舞地描述自己对某位理想型男性的痴迷时，Mae的感受对我来说都熟悉得令人痛苦。

但最关键的是，Mae同时存在于剧内剧外。她同时也是自己的故事有意识的讲述者。她完全接受了自己的过去，并且知道分享它能为他人带来怎样的理解和慰藉。这非常了不起。

我感到被看见，被回应。我感到并不孤独，而这点给了我信心。

所以....谢谢这部剧的存在。谢谢Mae和我们讲述她的故事。

现在时间是2020/6/6 凌晨5:20 时间停留在520上 我写完这句话 它变成了5:21

我不清楚大家身边是否有同性恋的朋友，准确来讲，我不知道怎么称呼他们会显得更尊重一些。对于“同性”，我经历了不解到理解，支持再到感同身受。《断背山》让我理解了这样的感情，而《心向快乐》让我感同身受。同性题材的电影也看了一些，比如《霸王别姬》，却怎么也没有《断背山》和《心向快乐》让我更有感触。

幼年的我，无法想象两个大男人在一起是什么样子的，他们如何做爱？2005年李安导演的《断背山》上映，我是在电脑上下载来看的，只是单纯的因为它的名气。我没想到的是，我会看到哭。

《断背山》中关于形婚背后的女人，孩子，家庭占着很大的比重，这些都是为了体现出当时社会对于“同性恋”的态度。即使，会觉得女人可怜，可是更多程度上会把同情心给男主。他们似乎，也确实更为艰难一些。

电影名称断背山，这是全片的主旨，象征所在。Jack在剧中对Ennis说道：我们本可以相伴度过美好的一生，真正的美好人生，有个属于我们自己的家园，但你却不想要，恩尼斯，所以我们只剩下断背山！一切都缘起于断背山，而那确实我们的一切，仅有的一切。

断背山似乎就是他们心中的圣地，在世界上唯一能够做自己，正视自己情感的地方。他们每次的相聚都需要去断背山，而我希望那里都是断背山。任何地方都可以让人们做自己。

在他们最后一次的相聚中，jack说：我们认识将近20年，你拴的我好辛苦...... 当我时隔15年再看它的时候，我才发现真的会发生这样的情况。我们都无法正视自己的情感，在悠悠岁月中，在彼此的生活中进进出出，这样会让脆弱的那一方多么痛苦。最终如同剧中的人物一样，“打架”，“争吵”，“纠缠”再拥抱着痛哭。

电影的最后一刻，出现了jakc的衣服和断背山的照片，随着Ennis悲伤的眼神，好像那一刻就被融化掉了。真正的理解他们，真的替他们感到难过，如果你也掉下了眼泪，说明你真的理解了。

很长一段时间我都喜欢听其中的插曲《IDon'tWantToSayGoodbye》，当真的去了解一件事物的时候，真的就会自然而然的去理解这样的情感。有一位“同志”曾经多次找我聊天，他表明身份的时候，我得去向他解释我是直男。他有一个微信群，我在其中。我真的有“接触”这群人，一起玩王者荣耀，喜欢玩蔡文姬的小受受，挺可爱的。

这些年间，国外彩虹活动，同性立法等等新闻很多。我从开始的理解转变为支持。我和人讨论过关于“同性”的话题，大多人避而不谈或是充满偏见。我表示出，我很支持的时候，他们问我，你儿子如果是同性恋怎么办？我当时犹豫了。原来我的理解，支持，从来没有放在自己身上。我思考了3分钟，告诉他们，如果他是的，我也会支持。我会支持他过自己想要的人生。以上，是我对于“同性”的一段心路历程。而《心向快乐》，让它变成了我的感同身受。

原来爱情，无关性别。不管你是同性恋，还是异性恋，那情感是一样的。

梅·马丁是一个有着吸毒史的脱口秀演员，她有着糟糕的过去，包括现在。乔吉则是一个异性恋。

梅是一个有上瘾型人格的人，精神脆弱，缺乏安全感，任何时候都可能会崩溃。像是待在暗黑的地牢之中，期待着会照进来一道光。而乔吉就是她的这一道光。

在乔吉朋友的生日上，乔吉还是称梅为朋友，这不是第一次隐瞒梅的存在了。之前在一次婚礼上也是。这对于缺乏安全感的梅来说，对于缺乏安全感的我来说，真正的感同身受。你是否爱上一个人，你们在一起，你却从不认识她/他的家人，甚至是朋友？我不如梅，我没有她的自信，我没有勇气面对对方的家人，朋友。如果连我的存在，都不知道，我真的会不知所措。

在生日过后，一次意外，由于吗啡的作用，乔吉出柜了。一个人进入了一个新的领域，乔吉自然也会有着迷茫。两个人因为取向，性别的原因，分手了。

两个人分开之后，乔吉开始明白一些事情。她问自己的那些朋友：我们多久没有谈过正经的话题了？最后说出：“你们算什么朋友？” 然后清楚自己真正的朋友是谁。

而梅则在互助会，拿着1day的牌子，这意味着她又复吸了。彼此不喜欢的两个互助会成员开始了“互助”谈话。

像大多数可以让人暂时麻木自己的东西一样，我们似乎永远停不下来。我们从未想过，我们真正“吸毒”的原因，如果因为某一件事，我们尝试把它做好不就行了。而不是什么都不做，等它变坏，然后再解除“痛苦”。

梅在经历了一切之后，她对着手机那头的母亲说，我想回家。原本有些“生分”，赶她离家的母亲说，现在就给她订票，询问她有去机场的钱吗,给她打钱，现在就让梅的父亲给梅煮汤......

梅问道：你还生不生我气？母亲说，我从未生过你的气。这句话，好熟悉。我母亲好像就曾这样对我说过，你是我孩子，我怎么会生你的气。

结尾的时候，乔吉对梅说，我不知道没了你 我该怎么办。结局是两个人相拥，亲吻，是美好的。我们大多数人在恋爱的时候，都会觉得没了对方，我怎么办？我怎么活？生活毕竟是生活，我们把一切交给时间，而时间确实也做到了，我们也放下了。

《心向快乐》是一部女同题材的英剧，可以让你一口气看完，我 也推荐你利用一个周末，午后，一气呵成。《心向快乐》它关于“瘾”，关于“朋友”，关于“亲人”，关于“爱情”。

我们每个人似乎都或多或少的有瘾。吸烟？看剧？对某一个人的依赖？心理学说，成瘾性人格都存在一定的缺陷。当然，我们都有缺陷。对某个事物越是在乎，就越缺少它。

关于朋友，人总会遇到好多好多的朋友。区分起来可能会简单，谁是能和你讨论正经话题的人。或者一直在你身边，你都未曾发现。

关于亲人，主要就是父母。我想着没什么好谈的，因为做子女的，永远不会知道父母对他的爱到底有多么重。我们可以满不在乎，但是当这个世界开始崩坍瓦解的时候，那个家却永远为你遮风挡雨。

至于爱情，我们分手的原因，我们选择了理性，选择对彼此都好的决定。明明很在乎，却要不断安慰自己。实际上我们只是做了“容易”的选择罢了。

想象一下，对方在深渊里，你是否真的愿意做他/她的一道光。

从《断背山》到《心向快乐》，当有天，它们的标签不再是“同性”，而是“爱情”的时候。人们或许才真正的接受了。此刻，它们是因为爱情，让我感同身受的。谢谢！🥰

这里是夏七海~ 你的点赞 对我来说真的，真的很重要，秋秋啦！🥺

This is fucking good😭😭😭第四集之前：I fucking love Mae Martin yet this drama is a little bit normal第四集之后：Fucking awesome plot😭😭😭Mae Martin is super genius😭😭😭

I feel like I'm full of birds.

典型的英式喜剧，好多那种冷笑话哈哈哈哈哈，而且除去主角之外人物有为剧情发展和气氛需要脸谱化的嫌疑。George真的很美美得像戴安娜王妃。Mae Martin…我发现我只是喜欢小奶狗而已性别什么的无所谓，所以我原来是无性恋吗（误）看到做爱部分会感觉都是女孩子的话会让我容易习惯很多很多…可能也是对lesbian群体本身不了解不过我不想管那么多

剧本真的很好很好。感觉能体会到日常人与人之间交往的那种真诚与温暖感觉。情感很细腻，但感觉铺陈有时候不到位，也可能我本人不够敏感。剧里的话还是美化过的现实…首先addict被编进去本身就是对taking drugs的一种美化…cant help doing something while knowing that it will bring some negative consequences hhhh但是很多琐碎的碎片化现实又fucking real and fucking touching，Mae和George最后对话还有以前其他的对话里面那些词不达意欲言又止还有反复的sorry, I just... 都好London好生活…我们都一样啊。

You are being loved. 那里真的眼眶湿润了。not an island... 人与人之间的联系真的是拯救一个人的根本吗。

md这部里面的感情真的都好他妈流畅啊。

就是在考试周看然后看第一集的时候：这能拍六集？看完第六集的时候：怎么只有六集该不会我还要等第二季吧。看到还有第二季的时候：希望我能先紧着复习😭

差点忘了夸导演！色调真的超级超级棒啊，好多镜头都很漂亮，镜头下的人也无比好看。调色和色彩搭配都太好了…视角也很棒。

看看这个镜头多绝美！

看完了。我觉得很好看。囊括了我们女同性恋群体会遇到的许许多多的问题，当然我觉得同样，这其中的一些感情问题是谈了恋爱的人都会遇到的。唉，觉得篇幅还不够长，但是其中真的蕴含了太多。

想到什么就写什么吧。

乔治父亲的离开和她后来和梅的父亲坐那个小车车的样子——她真的很怀念父爱吧。虽然她和梅的父母见面的时间很短暂，但是我觉得能看出她对那种久违了的父爱的憧憬。

然后就是当你陷入了这个群体之后，你才意识到之前认为只是寻常的事其实是多么的充满偏见。乔治所教的课程和班级上发生的事情，在她和梅交往之前肯定是存在的，但那时候，大概就像现在很多人的“事不关己高高挂起”一样吧，她不觉得是什么大不了的事——毕竟不发生在自己身上。而当她自己差不多也算成为其中一份子的时候，她才能被这些伤害到或者意识到有些曾经自以为正常是多么伤人。

哈哈哈哈哈直女被掰弯后的心路历程

梅的困惑，我觉得以前也曾是我的困惑，对方到底想让我成为什么样子？什么样子是我真正想成为的我自己？一开始看预告的时候，是的梅的外形就非常T呗，也有那么一丝丝忧虑是不是会包含着刻板印象。我觉得本剧某方面比较神就是它虽然篇幅不长，但是仅仅通过几个画面就让我感受到了想传达的东西——比如梅会想尝试穿一件小吊带裙，但是同时又羞于让乔治知道这件事。在她心里还是害怕乔治只是把她当男性伴侣来看待——这在女同性恋+直女的组合中很常见，其实就算是两个拉拉在一起我觉得也会有……

看到这句的我：呵，直女

这算是刻板印象的余孽吗？当然也有人喜欢这种相处模式，这也是我最近很纠结的一点，好像这种模式你无法确切地评价好与坏，但是希望大家在谈恋爱的时候都能找到和自己模式相同的人。

不过乔治最后在思考了，在了解了，在改变自己了，我觉得就很厉害。她明白了谁才是自己真正的朋友，也知道自己究竟想要什么，以及去尝试接纳新的自己。（这可能是大家追直女过程中的理想画面了吧XD）

家庭问题我觉得也算本剧表达的一个副中心？无论是梅那强势的母亲还是乔治选择离开的父亲以及对爱情失望的母亲（但我们也可以看出，你越表现出嫌弃反而越证明你在乎）。家庭问题有时候反而是一个很容易被忽视的问题，家长们有时候会说“每个家庭都这样！”来逃避应该承担改变的责任。都这样的家庭就正常吗？

看到此处有笑到

不知道会不会有第二季，因为觉得还是有些地方没有说清楚，也有些地方表达得蜻蜓点水一般。但此时打下这些文字的我又觉得，不用说清楚我们也可以顺着畅想下去。

乔治正视了自己的内心，她选择了更值得当朋友的人，她也会对梅给予支持；

梅虽然复吸了orz（而且那个Day1的小牌牌还是掖着藏着），但是剧的最末尾，我觉得她下一句就要向乔治坦诚自己复吸了，这是一个好的开始，我想也是她收获安全感的开始。

最后想到的是那个（完了我忘了名字了就是互助会最后和梅一起吸Du的那位）。

他竟然是打电话叫来了自己的保证人，我还挺震惊的，因为他俩一起吸的时候我内心真的“oh fuck”。保证人那番话真的蛮感人的……是一个，特别合格，值得当做依靠的保证人了。

哎，仍在回味中。

附上梅对成瘾的一个新的解读，我觉得，哇，内心的有些问题豁然开朗。

我们都在对什么东西成瘾呢？
