After 32 years of broadcasting, the season-high-scoring "The Simpsons" is back!
The plot of the new episode is about the loss and reliving of dreams, about the rupture and reconstruction of friendship, and about reconciliation with the past and the present. Who didn't have the dream of fame when they were young, and the group of blessed middle-aged people who returned to the stage seemed to have returned to the shining youth
1. Fashion is a circle, the global resurgence of Y2K
Y2K originally meant the computer 2000 problem, also known as the "millennium bug". The English name is The Millennium Bug, because it was born in 2000, so it is also called The Year 2 Kilo Bug abbreviated as "Y2K".
"Millennium Worm" refers to the 2000 millennium, because the computer year at that time can only be represented by two decimal numbers, so when the system performs cross-century date processing operations, there will be wrong results, which will cause a variety of system dysfunction and even collapse. Bugs on the date of this process have swept the world, affecting many countries and industries.
And this "tech panic", which now seems interesting, has also added a touch of mystery to the special time period at the intersection of the millennium. The "Y2K" aesthetic extended from this includes digital, electronic, and computer interfaces into the wearing style, and the vivid, highly saturated colors contain vitality and creativity, and the positive attitude of futurism sweeps away the decadence and dullness.
Twenty years later, the "Y2K" wind has resurfaced under the "cargo" of blackpink, Rich Brian and other stars.
2. Broadway is well-known
Broadway Is an important north-south road in New York City, and because of the numerous theaters on both sides of this road, it is an important development place for American theater and musical theater, so "Broadway" has become synonymous with musical theater.
Broadway originally meant "wide street," but another way of saying that the name translates from the Dutch Brede weg is the same as translating Wall Street to Wall Street (wall = wall, street = street).
"Broadway" staged is a relatively elegant musical, opera, Broadway performance content is mostly based on classic repertoire, the performance of the actors obeys the needs of the plot, with the group body language and excellent musical chanting to express the theme of the party. With "Les Misérables", "Phantom of the Opera", "The Lion King", "Cats" and other plays are the most outstanding.
Sasha was able to make it on Broadway, no doubt on the pinnacle of her life, achieving massive success.

5. wipe the slate clean
The literal meaning is "wipe the slate clean" and start over, writing off the previous bad experience. After Marge ruthlessly pokes sasha's "success", Ben is full of expectations that everyone will be as relieved as she is, but does not want no one to be on her side.

6. big fish in a small pond
The big fish in the small pond are actually the big people in the small place, the outstanding people in the small circle. Sasha reconciles with Marge, and it turns out that making a chicken head feels much better than a phoenix tail.
The same goes for my classmates, who have no interest in living in large, competitive cities. He doesn't want to live in a big competitive city, he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
