在看剧之前看到一个评论是“PB里的FOX RIVER是儿童乐园,或者肖申克的救赎里的那个是福利养老院等等等——虽然他们的主题是不同的,没有什么可比性,不过,让俺在OZ呆一天,俺的确非常情愿去FOX RIVER牵T-bag的小白口袋。”Ture to that,me too!!
虽然看OZ的原因之一也是看到了关于KB之间的爱情的一些评论,但是我最爱的一季还是尚没有KB的第一季。第一季里有些台词,真的太经典了。OZ从97年开播到现在都有18年了,很难想象自己竟然看了一部那么早的电视,甚至那么早就有人拍出那样的电视。其实之前曾经试图看过,但是就连第一集都没看完,所以在我看来PG21这个设定真的偏低了。就像传统的推荐语:心脏强劲人的选择。
OZ人物太多了,第一个留下印象的是Dino,和很多人一样我也以为他是主角,结果第一季第一集就死了,活活被烧死却没有发出任何声音,就像等待死亡已久,就像阿好最后评论那句一样,死亡不是最可怕的,可怕的是无止境的重复,所以这集叫做Routine。Maybe ignorance is the key to happyness,but I'd rather be unhappy than ignorant.
第二个留下印象的是Keane,宗教真的让我很困惑,大概从小到大都没有宗教这个概念吧,所以当Keane突然信仰阿拉,并从容赴死的时候,一方面我觉得宗教的力量真的很强大,一方面真的很疑惑为什么Keane会被Said所感化。最后执行死刑时,Keane对他父亲说的最后一句话是这个对你们的折磨远大于对我的,那种平静,我觉得我可能永远无法理解。
Kareem Said,一直觉得他很假,也许是演员演得太好了,虽然OZ充满了坏人,但是这个穆斯林的领袖在EM CITY一副道貌岸然的样子给人的感觉不是救赎,而是虚伪,算得上这个剧中我最讨厌的人了。直到Adebisi死了以后,才觉得他没有再带着面具。
Ryan O'Reily,看OZ第一个喜欢的人物,这个两面三刀,兵不血刃在Em City混得风生水起的人,他有的时候显得和这个监狱显得格格不入,但是他有时候狡黠的manipulate其他inmates的时候,又觉得这样的人才能才OZ生存。都说OZ有两条爱情线,除了KB,就是Ryan喜欢上狱医Gloria。(PS:大概是外貌协会,真的不喜欢Gloria)但是Ryan爱上了就是义无反顾,和美貌的妻子离婚,教唆自己的弟弟(可爱的Cyril)杀掉Gloria的丈夫,血腥的磨掉手上前妻名字的纹身,亲手杀掉强暴Gloria的犯人。盗用一句Gloria的话In my experience, you don't love Ryan O'Reily by choice......
Cyril O'Reily,一个智商只有5岁的犯人,当然,作为智商只有5岁,为什么会到OZ这样一个地方?但是他和Ryan的兄弟情 ,每次看到他软糯糯的说话都好想摸摸他的头发啊,喜欢Ryan唱歌哄他睡觉的时候,喜欢他拿着puppet喊Ryan先kiss it的样子,喜欢Ryan问他who loves U,他抬头说U do,我觉得对Cyril来说生活在OZ或者任何地方都无所谓,只要有Ryan在就好。特别不理解为什么有人觉得Cyril暴力,明明他不愿意伤害那些人的,he just needs better medical care。。。
Tobias Beacher,刚出来的时候觉得这个人太普通了,甚至不能理解他初时对Schillinger的服从,后来仔细想想,一个有着求生的欲望,却被死亡笼罩的人,所以他看到唯一的逃避是毒品,但是当他面对死亡VS死亡的时候,他才终于爆发了。就像Keller说的OZ didn't make you a bitch. You were born one.这样普通到不能在普通,甚至刚开始给人感觉懦弱的人,当sister pete问他“R U in love with another man?”他回答:I think so,yeah。当他的父母问他Keller是谁的时候,他回答:my lover。甚至在那个爱上他的女律师面前他也不否认他爱着Keller。Brutally honest,unlike Chris,当Keller说“I killed all those guys 'cause I wanted to kill the part of me I despise.”的时候,突然间觉得因为Toby和他那么不同,而在Toby的爱坦诚也热烈,所以Toby是不一样的。
Chris Keller,刚出场的第一反应真的是失望,这就是所有评论里那个帅得人神共愤所有人的梦中情人,R U kidding me?但是越看越是觉得这样一个人在你觉得他算不上帅的时候都可以让你的心漏跳一下啊,Charisma~~Either U got it or not and he definitely got it.看到他对sister Pete Marie说At first I wanted unconditional surrender, then I wanted unconditional love。who can say no to Chris Keller?
所以当Keller和O‘Reily联手的时候,内心火热的赞啊
Keller: Adebisi and Said, hand in hand.
Ryan: It's the end of the fucking universe.
Ryan: Ah, trouble in paradise.
Keller: But not enough to be of any use to us. You know what we got here, O'Reily? A fandango. And we gotta do something about it.
Ryan: Hey, I don't like being in the minority, but what can we do? Even these fucking Muslims are kowtowing to Adebisi.
Keller: Well, we could detonate a few well-placed depth charges.
Ryan: Whatever you need, K-boy.
Keller: Don't you hurt Beecher.
Ryan: Don't make any threats, K-Boy. It might put me in a bad fuckin' mood.
playing chess
Keller: Wait a minute. You fucked Howell?
Ryan: Mm hm.
Keller: You don't just drop a nugget like that without a few details, O'Reily.
Keller: My esteem for you has risen 69 percent. But tell me, as one manipulative turd to another, now did you fuck Howell for the sex, or to get her to do some other kind of nasty?
Ryan: Just the sex. moves chess piece Check.
很多人说KB两人的相爱在一个很特别的环境的,OZ里的Em City,如果在此之外,他们不一定会相遇,就算相遇也肯定不会有交集吧。但是仔细回想,Toby是为什么酗酒?Keller为什么被捕?感觉相遇在OZ怎么看都像是偶然中的必然。
还有最后一季没有看,犹豫很久,还是有种不敢看的感觉 。在OZ这样的地方,没有所谓的happy ending,只有bad ending和worse ending。
终于看完最后一季了,哭瞎的节奏啊,以前看着Cyril长发的样子好想摸摸他的头发,现在光头的样子也想摸摸他的头。Ryan手指缠绕着Cyril一缕长发的时候,Cyril穿着Ryan的T恤的时候,What is like to lose a sibling?I can't even bear the thought of losing mine.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
当Toby对Chris说:“you are death, let me live"的时候,他已经决定了,我一直想OZ对Keller来说是怎样一个地方,就像之前他说的他是厌倦了外面的生活才想换换环境,他其实和Ryan一样,good at surviving,maybe better.但是他对Toby说I can't live the rest of my life here without you.我觉得He didn't want to.最后Toby对sister pete说He really did love me,and I loved him.
So,what have we learned?What’s the lesson for today,for all the never-ending days and restless nights in OZ?That morality is transient?That virtue cannot exist without violence?That to be honest is to be flawed?That the giving and taking of love both debases and elevates us?That God or Allah or Yahweh has answers to questions we dare not even ask?The story is simple.A man lives in prison and dies.How he dies...that’s easy.The who and the why is the complex part...the human part...the only part worth knowing. Peace.
好久没有因为一部电视剧写这么长的评论,如果满分10分的话,第一季一定是10分,剩下的至少是9分~~~
To fall in love with the characters that are not created to be loved.... And It takes a lot to love a sinner.But the sinner, he needs it all the more.
