Recently, a British drama ended.
The show has only had three seasons since it began airing in 2019.
Each season has 6 episodes, and one episode is only 30 minutes, so it only takes 180 minutes to brush up on a season.
It's short, but it's powerful.
Every season, Uncle Fish laughed and cried.
It's not just my feelings.
Many netizens have also given it praise.
The Douban score is quite capable.
From 8.6 in the first season to 9.2 in the final season, it has steadily climbed.
Taking this opportunity, Uncle Fish also wants to give everyone another amway it-
The third season of "The Second Half of Life"
After Life Season 3
The biggest attraction of this drama is the British comedian, Ricky Gervais.
In the play, he is also a director, screenwriter, starring, producer and other positions, and he is talented.
A few years ago, there was a news.
It is said that Beckham was mistaken for a comedian Ricky and was asked for an autograph.
At that time, everyone only said that it was incredible, mostly for Beckham, and did not care who this comedian was.
In fact, Ricky's popularity in the UK is also national, and his appearance is extremely high when he was young.
In the early years of playing in the band, he was a beautiful man.
Saying he was David Bowie, I believed it.
Talented people, after all, are not willing to rely on their appearance to eat.
Ricky later moved on to comedy and talk shows.
Although it gradually became blessed, its career was booming.
He wrote and directed himself to perform popular comedies such as "Office" and "Extras", and became a well-known star in the United Kingdom.
He has been nominated for 7 BAFTA Awards, 5 British Comedy Awards, 3 Golden Globe Awards, 2 Primetime Emmy Awards and 1 Screen Actors Guild Award.
The most eye-catching attribute of the body is the bold and sharp "poisonous tongue".
Fear the stars, fear the government, scare the society... No contraindications, one hit the nail on the head.
When he hosted the Golden Globes that year, he was even more famous.
Not only did the big coffee present be stunned, but also to inform all the winners:
Go to the stage and say thank you, then hurry up and don't make endless political remarks.
In this British drama "The Second Half of Life", Ricky also plays his poisonous tongue.
He plays a middle-aged man, Tony.
He has a German Shepherd dog alone.
He went to a nearby park to walk his dog.
Passers-by saw that he had not leashed the dog and accused him of not speaking of public morality.
Tony apologized politely on the surface.
As a result, I turned around and played a trick to point out mulberry scolding.
Passers-by who are nosy have been damaged.
When I went to work, I was stopped by a charity volunteer to collect donations.
He said he wasn't available.
The volunteers sarcastically said two sentences:
"Don't care about poor children?"
"Is there a bigger problem than a poor child?"
Tony listened, and he was suddenly energetic.
Crackled and said a lot, and taught the other party a lesson.
"Don't give me the altruistic set."
After saying that, he also deliberately went to the cancer charity site next door and donated a sum of money.
Just to him off.
Tony's poisonous tongue didn't even spare the child.
He passed by kindergarten and was called "pedophile" by a bear child.
Immediately turned back to the child.
The most cattle thing is that he can be afraid of robbing money.
In the face of danger, there is no chaos, and the poisonous tongue is continuous.
I had to drive the two little bastards away.
The reason Why Tony is so impersonal.
It was because his wife had recently died of cancer.
Widower Tony, who has no heirs, ushered in the "second half of his life" that he could not love.
Living a walking dead life every day: feeding dogs, walking dogs, going to work, drinking...
Sooner or later, you must brush up on the video of your wife's life for a while to get a little relief.
Not only did he lose his wife, Tony's father also developed Alzheimer's disease and was admitted to a nursing home.
Every time he went to see his father, he didn't know him.
Tony once said to the nurse who cared for his father in frustration:
"My father is gone."
Sometimes do not forget the poisonous tongue:
"If it's a dog, euthanize it."
He also thought about committing suicide.
Cut your wrists, jump into the sea, and take sleeping pills.
Without exception, all failed.
Every time it was his dog who saved him.
Because as soon as he saw the dog's face full of "why don't you feed me" expression, he felt very sorry for it.
That wasn't the case with Tony of the past.
In his wife's eyes, he was a very lovely man.
Childlike, intelligent and humorous, passionate about people.
There are always endless ghost ideas, doing all kinds of pranks, and making his wife happy.
Today's Tony is a loser.
Moreover, a very complete and rigorous theory of mourning has been formed, which no one can persuade.
Tony works at a local newspaper, and the boss is his brother-in-law.
One day, the boss couldn't stand it anymore and said that if he wanted to continue like this, he would have to quit him.
As a result, Tony replied to him in a mean manner:
"No, you won't."
"Because you're a good person, I'm taking advantage of you, and I'll continue to do whatever I want..."
He even used strong words to say that "not caring about others" is his superpower.
The "poisonous tongue" was the only way for him to vent the pain in his heart.
The brother-in-law broke his heart in order to make Tony feel refreshed.
However, none of them worked.
He took Tony to the tavern for a drink.
As a result, Tony kept complaining and cursing the strangers who were making noise next to him.
He took Tony to see a talk show comedy.
As a result, Tony, who sat in the front row, was serious the whole time and did not give a trace of face.
The comedians on the stage saw that he did not laugh, and they deliberately ridiculed it.
As a result, Tony told the story of his widow, which made the talk show scene extremely embarrassing.
However, this drama does not go all the way to black on the road of "mourning" and "poisonous tongue".
First of all, he created a middle-aged man who cursed the world, so that everyone could feel the pain and struggle he hid behind the poisonous tongue.
Then quietly give the most gentle cure.
There are always many inconspicuous little things and little people around, silently changing Tony's state of mind.
Tony, who often went to the cemetery to mourn his wife, met a widow who also came to visit her deceased husband.
Two strangers with similar fates chatted and comforted each other, which also made Tony more kind and relaxed.
Tony said he was no longer happy.
She told Tony:
"Happiness is beautiful, it's so beautiful, it doesn't matter if it doesn't belong to you."
Tony questions the meaning of his pursuit of the good.
She could also use a clever metaphor to persuade him:
"Society is good because the old people keep planting trees, even though they know they won't enjoy the shade."
She patiently conveyed her positive energy to Tony.
Give each other the motivation and courage to live.
Under the influence of the people around him, Tony gradually regained his enthusiasm for life.
Start to change your life and change your attitude towards others with little by little actions.
For example, eat carefully every day and clean up carefully.
Seriously send a bottle of wine to the postman, and carefully prepare a surprise for colleagues;
And, earnestly apologize to the child you frightened.
Of course, he still misses his wife occasionally and indulges in sadness.
I still can't change the problem of poisonous tongue, and I can't help but spit out two sentences.
But overall, Tony is trying to get better.
The story comes to the third season.
His state has also taken him to the next level, no longer the "dangerous bastard" he was before.
As a newspaper reporter, all he had to do every day was to interview the town's various sand sculpture trivia.
There was an old woman who was ashamed of being cheated by a fake cop.
Tony blurted out after listening:
"You're not stupid, it's a bad world."
There was a person who was complained by the cafeteria about eating too much.
Tony complained directly that this was the restaurant's own failure to keep its promotional promises.
Another time, he interviewed terminally ill children in children's welfare homes.
Hearing that a child had the same name as his wife, Tony couldn't help but cry.
I had to use "I'm a crazy person" to hide my inner touch.
These seemingly boring parents are short, and they have become a good medicine for Tony to restore himself.
He gradually stepped out of the shadow of losing his wife and regained the joy of life.
Tony's transformation is the most interesting and moving part of "The Second Half of Life".
It uses a middle-aged man who has abandoned himself because of the loss of his love to tell a realistic topic -
What can we do about the misfortunes of life?
Of course, you can mess around and then be unscrupulous.
But in this way, it will not be beneficial, and it will only continue to hurt the kind relatives and friends around you.
In addition to the male protagonist Tony, the supporting roles of this drama are also outstanding.
They look simple, mediocre, and have all sorts of weird quirks and glitches.
But it is these ordinary people who help Tony gradually come out of the shadow of life.
In the same way, Tony is invisibly healing them.
For example, a sex worker in the play.
She hated being called a "prostitute" and always corrected others to call herself a "sex worker" and made them respect her worth.
Although the work is disgraceful, her heart is incomparably kind.
She will actively focus on troubled addicts.
He will also give Timely Affirmation and Help when Tony needs it most.
Her self-esteem and self-love are exactly what the decadent Tony lacks.
Another example is a colleague of the love brain.
Although he usually speaks very harshly, he always asks Tony for his opinion before a date.
She worries that her identity, her humble job, will disappoint others.
Tony gently told her:
"Just be yourself."
There is a comment on Douban:
"If you find the film boring, you're happy enough."
Yes, "The Second Half of Life" is really not for everyone.
Only those who have experienced the ups and downs of life can empathize with the details.
Thus obtaining the most invigorating vent, and a softest comfort.
In the same way, it also gives every ordinary person who encounters setbacks in life a new perspective on life.
Life is never perfect.
Everyone has many troubles and sufferings that are difficult to express to others.
But even if life is so bad, everyone can still find a little value in ordinary life.
This value may be insignificant.
But it is enough for us to summon up the courage to see hope and live well day by day.
