(Long article) Revisiting the classic romantic comedy series: How I Met Your Mother is inspired

Late last night, I finished nine seasons of How I Met Your Mother (hereinafter referred to as HIMYM ), although I did it about five or six years ago. That's right, it's been 15 years since it started airing in 2005, damn those years!
Let me talk about how I know this drama first. I only started to get in touch with American dramas when I was in the second and third year of high school. When I was a child, I mainly focused on Japanese dramas and anime (shame). After high school, I met some friends who pretended to be forceful and began to look forward to foreign languages and overseas. with curiosity.
Let's start with some dog blood series suitable for adolescence, which is the American dream of girls, Gossip Girl . It is full of rich and famous people who are entangled in love, intrigue and intrigue, and they are eye-opening and unable to extricate themselves. But I only came into contact with HIMYM in the middle of college. At that time, I couldn't stand the love, the love story full of dog blood or the girlish feelings of pink bubbles, and I began to yearn for a drama that is closer to life and micro-real.
Before HIMYM , I also watched FRIENDS (Friends/Six People) very traditionally. At that time, it was the best recommended textbook for everyone to practice English listening and speaking. Therefore, I saw the recommended album HIMYM one day, because the overall style is quite Similar to FRIENDS , it happened to be broadcast not long after it was finished (2004). It was not so difficult to catch up with FRIENDS , which had been on the air for many years. At that time, the most anticipated thing after school was the update of HIMYM .
What's interesting about these two is that they're the same and yet very different (sorry, bullshit). In the same way, they are both sitcoms and the story revolves around the daily life of a group of friends living in New York City. At first, I was hesitant to see something repeated, but the Chinese translation of "My Mom and Dad" is really deep. It's my heart, the title alone makes me fall in love at first sight, it's a little romantic, a little old school, I like it.
And maybe listening to the stories of Mom and Dad abroad is very ordinary, but in a conservative family, you will only hear complaints, quarrels and other deteriorating marriages in life. To know their romance, I may need a time machine or a watch. Get down!
Fortunately, when I decided to press the play button, HIMYM became one of my all-time favorite American dramas , and it was also the first American drama that I was willing to rewatch. In the past, I thought that rewatching was a waste of time, but HIMYM verified one A drama can also be like a book, you will feel different every time you read it, like a pot of wine, the more it ages, the more fragrant it gets.
As a result, I wrote a lot of thoughts and I haven't mentioned the content of the story. After all, there are plots on the Internet, and I assume that many people have seen it. It seems a bit selfish to think so. This drama was really popular at the beginning, and even the countdown to the finale is as important as the New Year's Eve. Be sure to stay in front of the screen, don't make any noise! Who cares that this year is coming to an end! I want to know the TED (male protagonist) love Where to go!
In the end, after the broadcast in the United States, a group of people on the Internet were mourning all over the place. All kinds of news and comments flooded my mobile page with the resentment of the nine years or the dissatisfaction with the ending. Damn! I haven't watched it yet! Although I couldn't see the ending right away at the time, I felt reluctant to let go of the ending, as if my friend who I had known for many years was about to leave. It grows with you, from flip phones to sliders to smart phones, through love and breakup together, and through the setbacks and hardships in life together. This is the charm of longevity dramas, which are influential and affect you. .
One disadvantage of sitcom is that its scene space is limited. Usually, there are several places in a fixed shed to show the life of the protagonist without sudden out-of-town beauty. Even so, this disadvantage is precisely the advantage of HIMYM . I like to watch the main character's group of people in the exclusive seat in the bar, even if I spend most of the time chatting in that seat, I never get bored, because that seat has witnessed their friendship process, just like FRIENDS Central Park Coffee .
TED, MARSHALL, LILY, three university classmates, met Barney , a bohemian and bohemian, in a bar, and then met ROBIN , an independent woman from Canada who came to fight for her career. She is also TED 's love. Even some idle people in the process, the bartender or waiter at the bar, the object of one-night stand, the uneven past of TED and other passers-by can be part of the story, as well as the perfect wife who appeared on TED in the last season and has been looking for a long time. The guests in the seat, and even sometimes I feel like I am in that seat, and I am also one of them. For me, this seat carries friendship and history , like BARNEY's motto: "Legendary!" .
There are still a lot of sitcoms, but I really can’t watch many of them. The blunt lines and exaggerated acting skills, even if an episode is only 20 minutes long, I can’t watch it for a minute, but HIMYM is different, the actors are very good Natural and vivid, sometimes you can even see improvisations or laughs, which are more realistic. The point is that it has a story line, unlike other dramas where one episode is an episode with little content, okay! To be honest, there are also a few episodes that are foolish, but even ordinary people don't have a wonderful life every day, right?
This film tells you how the male protagonist knows the mother of the children from the body. However, this mother appeared in the last season, and the audience waited for more than eight years to see her. This is really the first time in history. To a certain extent, she actually exists every season, that is, the yellow umbrella has a few inadvertent partial appearances, I love the way of narration! As if to say that everyone is destined to be so unexpected, what you are desperately looking for is not in The side is moving towards you. The future is actually the accumulation of countless present moments.
I really liked some of the clips in the last season. Barney was chatting up a girl, but the girl found out that she went to the wrong bar and immediately turned to meet a friend, and that friend is TED 's wife, who is also in New York but in a different bar, with that girl as the guide The distance and space connected by the line, I like the parallel timeline to bring out how the two protagonists are living their own lives but slowly walking into each other. Mom is like a lost piece of the puzzle in the whole play. The audience accompanies TED to find the right piece of the puzzle. Although the process is difficult, it is also unexpectedly beautiful. The ninth season is like finding the last piece of the puzzle. In the end, TED is still with ROBIN (laughs).
This rewatch is a little different from the previous mood. When I was young, I was envious of all kinds. I also want to have a group of good mochi who hang out all day to eat, drink and play, and spend important moments in life. I also want to sing every night like this, the party is not over, and the object is constantly living a wonderful life; but as they grow older, there is only one kind of aunt's mentality for their crazy behavior and youthful excitement: "Oh! It's good to be young~", But I still want to have close friends who have gone through life together, but I don’t have to stick together every day. It’s just that my emotional outlook has changed from yearning to vigorous love and perfectionism like TED , some small things that only I care about. I want to meet someone who likes the same , The person who matches the personality and tells jokes she/he will take care of.
In recent years, it has been found that many people will sneer at those who are demanding, and even curse their lonely old people not to harm the world for life and other jokes. It's true that some people's unreasonable demands make people look down upon them, but it's a personal choice, and it's not a bitch for someone to take the bait. Personally, I think it's better to see what you want than to be casually together and then say: "The personality doesn't match, he/she has changed. !" This kind of misunderstanding is much better.
In fact, HIMYM has a large part of the emotional story that revolves around the love triangle of TED, ROBIN, and BARNEY . Although TED and ROBIN fell in love at first sight in the first episode, they were divided and combined due to various factors, and then they became ROBIN and BARNEY . Parting and closing, looking worried and irritable . But the real life feelings are not like this. The cold rice is kept fried, but the fried cold rice is delicious. In the past, I just felt envious of ROBIN , and everyone was rushing to get her. After all, young and ignorant girls yearn to be loved and needed; the second time I saw ROBIN, I felt that ROBIN was disgusting and dissolute. When I have this, I need that; but after the third time I feel nothing.
Because the emotional life in the real world is rarely perfect, and many of them are just so unreasonable. I used to complain about why ROBIN didn't accept TED 's true feelings and was willing to go through fire and water for her. Instead, he fell in love with BARNEY , a cynical and irresponsible skin boy who had gone to hundreds of women, but could pursue exciting and happy together. It was only when I grew up that I realized that love is wonderful. Sometimes, no matter how much the other person does, his heart is still unmoved. For some people, even if he does nothing, his mind is full of him. So I understand that there is no right or wrong in love, especially when I am an adult, most of the consequences are my own choices.
Every time I watch HIMYM, I have a different interpretation of ROBIN . Maybe she loves TED but not the love that wants to start a family and a business, or maybe she doesn't want to lose TED , the person who loves her the most, so she would rather keep him in the Friend zone forever. In any case, after a long circle, they are still together again, although it was instigated by the children at TED a few years after the mother died of illness, here I must say that the foreigners are really enlightened.
Many people said at the time, "What are you doing! Mom took a lunch when she showed up, why did she end up with ROBIN again?!" Oh well, although she was dumbfounded, life is inherently impermanent. And in all fairness, TED did meet the mother of the children and did love her, so it is not against the theme. It is undeniable that ROBIN is indeed his love. I believe that TED wants to go to the end with his wife, but good luck makes his wife. Going to heaven, the children also hope that their father can be happy! What's more, in the countdown to the last few episodes, my mother once said to TED : "I love you to hear your stories, but I don't want you to be a People who only live in the past." It might also imply that no matter what happens in the future, Mom hopes that TED will move forward instead of looking back.
It is said that mother and ROBIN are completely different women . For TED , ROBIN is crazy love; mother is ideal love .
Mom is sweet and lovely, understanding, humorous, really the kind that everyone wants to marry, and she can quickly become super strong with the protagonist group, many girls simply hate the other half's friend group, that's all I think Mom is very strong! And then she happens to be the male lead's dream bass player who understands mechanics and architecture. She's absolutely perfect. No wonder it's so unrealistic to get a bento so quickly. Good people really don't live long (laughs). As for ROBIN smart, beautiful and hot, independent and strong, often like a buddy and sometimes quite selfish, many behaviors are basically the level of a bitch, but it is completely understandable why men are crazy for her, even girls will like her, think become her. She's beautiful and hot like a flame but burns when you get close, you can't catch her but she can melt you.
The two also have their own symbolic items in the play, mother = yellow umbrella , the necessities of life can keep out the wind and rain; ROBIN = blue horn , decoration but unique. The first time the blue horn appeared was in the first episode of TED who wanted to pursue ROBIN and stole it from the restaurant (it was illegal to steal~) and then confessed downstairs to her house, and the last episode took the blue horn again (this time I don’t know it was stolen) I also bought it) go downstairs to her house to confess, and make a love echo between the beginning and the end, although TED and ROBIN have gray hair, but I still seriously think that the screenwriter is very good! This scene is really super romantic, it is great Ending.
In the end, chasing dramas seems to be a very wasteful thing. I do not deny that these activities are very exciting, can strengthen life, and experience appreciation, but not everyone is suitable or has the opportunity to do these things, but a small The world on the screen can sometimes achieve unimaginable gains. As a marginal person with few friends, HIMYM fulfills my imagination of friends , whether it is to share happiness or fight and quarrel, maybe we can grow old together, maybe because of various factors, we will break up and let me know friendship. The preciousness and value of love, it can be sturdy or vulnerable like love, the same is that it requires careful maintenance to go for a long time. Another small gain is that there are various stars from film and television songs visiting, such as the American sweetheart Britney Spears at that time, as well as KATY PERRY and TIM GUM from Tianqiao Fengyun and more. The advantage of chasing sitcoms is that After meeting a lot of actors by accident, it's a great sense of accomplishment to recognize them on the big screen or on the small screen! Not to mention English listening practice, daily conversations are really good, and you can also learn some extra indecent words like Lily's favorite curse: "You son of the B!"
The one who shines the most in the protagonist group should be BARNEY ! Whether it is the host of the awards ceremony, the stage actor, or the voice actor, he has the highest appearance rate, and the one who once played the ultimate goal of being a scumbag became an instant hit. In real life, BARNEY married a boy and had a pair of super-beautiful twins (he loves chasing his IG), which is ridiculous!
The representative work after ROBIN is the agent of SHIELD from the Marvel series. At first, I was not used to seeing her on the big screen, although she was still very positive. MARSHALL also switched to movies later, and then the performances of comedy and love are basically the same as in HIMYM . As for TED and LILY , they are rarely seen on the screen, unless in the community sometimes their actors will meet or attend some events by themselves.
As a result, I also played a bunch of them for no reason. I just wanted to briefly explain the reasons for liking it. I'm really sorry~ Because I really want everyone to know this good drama, although it is pointless to push others to chase the drama, after all, everyone Likes are different, but a good drama is like a good person, and he will want to share his goodness with everyone so that more people can get to know him. HIMYM is not just an American drama for me, it is also a friend who accompanies me through many moments , making me believe in love and friendship, although I haven't met it yet~ But I believe that if I keep moving forward, I will meet one day. I hope everyone can also meet good dramas and good people. If there are good dramas, you can also recommend them~ Thank you for reading!
