巴瑞第二季

I'm sorry, can we stop for a second? I just, I feel like I need to say something, Barry.

[Barry: okay.]

This piece that I'm doing for class, is exactly what I should be doing.

[Barry: yeah I know it's great, what you're doing is…]

I'm terrified, okay? Because my piece is real. It's not a character, it's me. Raw, unapologetic truth with a capital T. All caps, actually, I'm thinking like a writer now.

I mean this was stuff I couldn't even talk about without lying, and here I am about just stripped naked in front of a bunch of strangers and share something I am massively ashamed of. Not literally, I don't believe in nudity, unless it drives the story forward.

I am afraid they're gonna judge me and I'm afraid that Sam is gonna find out and do something crazy, but I have to do this. It's my story to tell. But then so many other women have the same story. What, am I the spokesperson for them now? Could I be the face of the movement? I mean, what if I get it wrong? I resent the fact that Nick can get up there and talk about his stomach condition and it's not like he has to be the poster boy for bulimia but I get up there whatever I say it's like… "what are we saying about women?" … I mean, this is just MY STORY. "But what if you get it wrong, Sally?" "I don't know, you can't get it wrong Sally." "But you cannot tell either Sally, because it's who you are." Which makes the thing that my agent sent me on today so fucking insulting. 'Payback Ladies'? It's just another shit male idea of what strong women are. Oh oh ohh grab a gun and in some stilettos and it's gonna god damn blowout, and look how strong you are now! Sally! It's bullshit! Which by the way so is this, this is quite possibly the worst thing I've ever read, but you wanna know the worst part? You wanna know what's really driving me fucking crazy? I'm so jealous that you're reading for this, I've never had a director session for a feature, which is the same thing as a movie, P.S.. And I have been doing this for way longer, and I think you'd agree that I am way better. I… MADE YOU. And I'm actually represented by Gersh--well at least I was, I don't even know whether they rep me anymore after what I said in there today but still at least I held my ground because I am an artist, okay, an artist… and this is not fucking arts! But then, I mean, to be honest of course I am so happy for you! I mean, of course I want you to get this part and I want to be the one to help you learn your lines and fix your inflections but I need you to know that if you do get it, it's gonna make me like, like a hundred times more insane. Okay? … [Gasp.] Continue!

I'm okay with the fact that Sally doesn't really love Barry, not even a bit. She just feeds off Barry's indecisiveness and uses him as a bandage to cover her wound from both Sam and every other embodiment of "toxic musculanity" in her life; her intention for Barry is the same as what she said about Emma Stone's agent, that she wanted him to be her agent so that she could dump him when she got big. And I love the writing of Sally's character so much just because of that. She and Barry never really had a benign relationship, so what's the point of resenting her for being a bitch to him? Sally aspires for ascending. Barry takes pains in order for descending from a god-like place (which he was himself both unaware of and didn't know how to utilize) to the every-person mundaneness that Sally would give anything to leave behind.

Bill Hader is an instantaneously likeable person; the creator's monster, Barry Berkman, however, is not. The real touchstone of Barry's character is his absolute lack of character despite of him having the most sensational events of life. Even his dreams are so itchingly dull and devoid of intellectual self-reflection that it makes him pitiful to watch. To me, that's what makes Barry Berkman as should-be-just-another-male-leading-role in today's show industry utterly fanscinating; once they gave him a sharp character as if he were some kind of Macbethian anti-hero, all the magic would be lost. Indeed, the Barry/Macbeth parallel was drawn in Season One, but it was done so unpretentiously that it added almost nothing to our protagonist's personality; rather, it only spoke of the similarity between his real life tragics and the theatrical tragedy. That Barry had to go through partially what Macbeth did does not readily make him a Macbeth-like character. He is more ambivalent and less archetypical than that. He is the one left-out possibility of being a murderer that hasn't been discussed and tried out exhaustively up till now in the movie industry because of its unexcitedness. Sally, uncaring and narcissistic as she is, has no reason to see through the hollowness of his personality and learn that her boyfriend has been going through some shitty, incubating tormants and plights. (Actually there is more reason for her not to see that since her ignorance is a part of the comedy.) The transcendence from absurdity to ridicule is totally sensible to me, and it's so funny the moment you realize that how unrelatable yet sympathetic Barry's character is whereas how relatable yet obnoxious Sally's character is and that they are placed in a distanced, intimate relationship, struggling to move in two opposite directions while being stuck together in one storyline.

Barry is the freaking monster, who, I'm gonna say that again, could have been a god as he used to took lives without reason, mercy or regret but he chose to descend down towards the earth. Instead of turning into a human, he was forced by his humanity to become a monster. Sally is the most of the human race, who have been dreamt of ascending up towards the sky for tens of thousands of years. But they will never make it, neither will she--their monstrous cruelty keeps them safely tied to the ground while mutilating each other as human members. How can I help but name calling Barry and Sally as two ungrateful pieces of shit? As in the end they are both about just being the same person in different positions and over different time frames, I guess the joke is on me.

距离HBO的《权力的游戏》最终季回归的时间，越来越近了，倒计时七天……

剧王马上归来，天天已经按捺不住激动的心情了。

不过，在这个空窗期，HBO还有这几部上乘佳作，拿来为大家热热身。

HBO的《副总统》第九季回归，在豆瓣上拿到了9.4的高分，第九季也是它的最终季。

HBO还有一部喜剧《巴里》，力荐给大家，最近刚回归了第二季。

《巴里》

Barry

又名《巴瑞》|第二季 |共8集

《巴里》又叫《巴瑞》，HBO出品。

由比尔·哈德尔Bill Hader自编自导自演的黑色喜剧。

比尔·哈德尔，说起来也是才华横溢，闪闪发光。

集制片人、编剧等各种才华于一身，曾是“美国春晚”《周六夜现场》SNL的常驻嘉宾，绰号小芳，非常受观众喜爱。

从SNL出来之后，小芳把重心放在了电影、电视方面。

这部《巴里》，就是小芳自导自编自演的成果，他还凭借此剧拿到了第70届艾美奖最佳男主角奖。

剧集《巴里》还获得第76届金球奖最佳喜剧类剧集提名、第70届黄金时段艾美奖喜剧类最佳剧集提名。

媒体也是很认可这部剧的。

被评为《纽约时报》2018年度十佳美剧之一，《娱乐周刊》十佳之一、美国电影学会（AFI）十佳之一。

故事呢？相当清奇。

剧名Barry，也是主人公的名字。

Barry是一个杀手，抑郁不得之的那种。

过去曾是海军陆战队的一员，退役后，在美国中西部地区被雇佣当廉价杀手。

在无尽的杀戮中Barry变得麻木，觉得生活非常无趣。

第一季中，Barry新接到了一个任务，来自车臣黑手党，要求Barry前往洛杉矶帮他们处理一件尴尬的事情。

这件尴尬的事情是，车臣黑手党老大的老婆出轨了，所以，老大想把这个情夫给杀了。

Barry接受行动，尾随目标进入了一家剧院，剧院里全是一帮怀抱演员梦想的咖啡师、服务员、酒保等，他们在这里学习演戏。

Barry的行动目标是位健身教练，名叫Ryan，长相帅气，身材也好，就是他和黑帮老大的老婆有一腿。

Ryan误以为Barry是新来的学员，十分热情，拉着他又是对台词，又是排练的。

Barry也生平第一次登上舞台，感受到了人生中的热血、兴奋和激情。

而且，Barry觉得Ryan很善良，人很好，决定放弃杀他。

两人在拥抱告别时，被车臣黑手党的人看见了。

杀手没有干掉目标，反而在拥抱？车臣黑手党的人蒙圈了。

一枪就击毙了情夫Ryan，这也激怒了Barry，突突突几枪把车手党的几个人一起干掉了。

但是，车臣党的事情还没完。

Barry自己也从此痴迷演戏无法自拔，决定转行做一个演员。

甚至在等杀人目标时，就得翻几下《演员的自我修养》呢

好好的一个高收入杀手，非要做一个三流演员，这样的Barry也是好可爱的。

但事情往往难以得偿所愿，想要彻底远离杀人的行当，没那么简单，Barry该怎么样抹去血腥的过去？

主角的人物设定十分清奇，但是，《巴里》中的反派更让人意外，甚至一度抢主角风头。

一胖一瘦，一狠一萌。

在如此清奇的人物设定下，《巴里》中还有各种观众料想不到的剧情。

既欢乐又荒诞，既无情又黑暗。

随着越来越多的重要角色死亡，后面的剧情也越来越让人上瘾，人物性格更加丰满，惊喜也更多。

第二季刚刚回归了两集生肉，一集熟肉。

但是，味道没变，依旧在不断的埋坑。

《巴里》的故事不仅仅停留在喜剧表面，它充满了情绪和深度。

虽然看得人不多，但质量上乘。

如果你感兴趣，那天天已经为大家备好了。

第一季我看的感觉是“我草，还能这样拍”第二季看完我是感觉“我草，怎么这么拍呢”。第一季里的巴瑞，我觉得很惊喜的地方，在于他是一个有血有肉的人。最初的他是一个loser杀手，战场生活和杀手生涯让他漠视生命，麻木不仁，犹如行尸走肉。直到意外加入了表演学习班，不同以往的经历和人物关系。让像是给他打开了一个新世界，就像一个被逼着学习到麻木的小孩子，第一次接触网络游戏。这些未曾有过的体验，让他又“活了”过来。0

巴瑞在刚开始说他没有人可以说以前的事

他在化妆间对莎莉说的那些说的那些话 少有的温柔真诚 对她也是对他自己

老师是真的爱钱哈哈哈哈哈哈 也很善良

莎莉的角色我很矛盾 她真的很努力尽量不去靠别人 但偶尔我又觉得她很婊 演员演得真好啊 泳池那段很真实 bill说派那段把我笑死了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

两位“父亲”对戏 老师说他真的很为巴瑞骄傲时 哇哦 演得好好啊两位 剧情好屌

期待第三季

另外我诚心觉得海报上的瞪眼芳使贵剧流失了一大批天朝潜在观众。okk Bill Hader becomes rad in North America now，但如果不是提前熟悉他，看到两季海报正常人应该都不会有什么探索欲望。

这他妈真的是一部很严肃的剧。如果《广告狂人》中心在于身份探索问题，那么Barry讲的就是身份面对问题。本质上依旧是【我是谁】那一套，只不过Barry作为标题人物又蠢又滑稽又可怜兮兮毫无欲望权力野心一般麦克白式白男主人公不这么写罢了。毕竟是个喜剧。

这部美剧对我来说不好懂。相当的不符合主流思想。好好的走着主流美剧路线，动不动就歪一下要往坑里去。我也不是没看过日子越过越糟的片子，但这种一路奔向末日的走钢丝还真令人操心。

首先我就一直要为巴瑞操心，明明可以一条黑道大放异彩，非要洗心革面发展个人爱好，甚至想要洗刷自己安顿下来。但是犯过的罪不允许，身边的坏朋友也一直在拉扯。明明很适合干坏事，可是一直想做好人，结果一直在杀人。

因为主线有两条，黑道一条，戏剧学院一条，通常一部剧里只有一个主流价值观，看多了黑道奋斗，就不会想到普通人的生活，偏偏这部剧里还要不断用戏剧班上的人的台词来提醒巴瑞的黑道生活是多么惊世骇俗无法接受。

能把犯罪题材和戏剧培养题材融合在一起讲一个故事，已经是异想天开了，结果还结合得那么自然，那么有冲击力，有张力，佩服。

巴瑞这个男主，一开始给人的印象是木讷的，呆。接着变得活泼，积极。本来是理智冷静的，怎么又变得易怒冲动了。

巴瑞用戏剧里学到的东西去指导黑道的人生选择，不得不说这就是很哲学的了。他在老师那里受到启发，用来解决自己的难题。老师后来也有提到自己是心理咨询师的角色，因此巴瑞也是在不断的调整自己。

巴瑞有时候杀人下不去手，有时候却很痛快。人命到底不是本身具有令人震撼的价值，只有那些疼爱的重视的生命才有价值。不认识的人一条命都抵不上家里的一只鸡。世界的另一头一个伟人去世了，也不一定比家里的宠物死掉了更令人伤心。所以要看什么才是真正令人在乎的。

思绪很乱啊。
