" Rock and Roll " ended with a good score of 7.4 on Douban. Peng Lai is the most special character of Yao Chen this year. Although rock circles are complaining about some of the shortcomings of this show, it is unique enough in terms of character and story setting.
Twelve years ago, the female rock band "Mad Flower" was very popular in China. The lead singer Peng Lai went to the United States after suffering an emotional change, leaving behind her 6-year-old daughter raised by her ex-husband during the day. Unexpectedly, her music career failed miserably in the United States, and Peng Lai wandered alone and fell into ruin.
The ex-husband passed away. At the age of 19, he faced the troubles of growth alone during the day, and Peng Lai decided to return to China. A rebellious girl, a "crazy" middle-aged woman, although she is a mother-daughter relationship, she is more like a stranger, and the friction continues to escalate.
But Peng Lai and Bai Tian were both persisting in their rock dreams. After many contradictions, the mother and daughter finally came together, blooming in courage and determination, and blooming in their longing.
Peng Lai is really different. The qualities on her are very compatible with a rock singer, and they are not even special, but they seem extremely out of place on a mother. In terms of the image of
, Peng Lai does not have that kind of gentle, virtuous, simple and kind look. She has long fluffy hair, sometimes chaotic and unkempt, and has a smoky rock makeup that was popular more than ten years ago, with red flaming lips, and wearing a heavy metal leather jacket.
In terms of personality, she has no mom taste at all. She is not only free and unrestrained, but also wild, but also "outrageous" that compared to her daughter, she loves herself more and dreams more, just like what she said, "Even if the sky collapses, I will still be the original Peng Lai." Having a baby and being a mother has not changed her nature and self.
And she is actually an absolute drunkard, drinking early and late, either drinking alcohol or on the way. During her time in the United States, due to her career frustration, she was isolated and helpless, and no one understood her music. She chose to commit suicide and attempted suicide. She met all scumbags.
All this is superimposed on Peng Lai. Not to mention a good mother, in the eyes of some people, she doesn’t even count as a good woman.
However, when she was young, her mother abandoned her, threw her to her aunt and disappeared. In the years of growing up, she only had her aunt's beating and scolding. She did not feel the protection of love. When she grew up, Peng Lai didn't know how to express love, let alone how to love her daughter.
Peng Lai, who was the band's lead singer, fell in love with his ex-husband, but was pried away by his best friend and was betrayed by his double betrayal of love and friendship. He was discouraged and decided to escape from everything and fly away. The first time she went to love, she was heartbroken, making her originally incompetent self even more bruised and hide in a hard camouflage shell.
It is not the first time that "unrestrained" mothers like Peng Lai have appeared in domestic dramas, but in the past they were always negative textbooks to support the protagonist's growth, contrast the protagonist's strength, and strengthen the conflict in dramas. They are instrumental existences. Now such a mother turns her back and becomes the protagonist of the story.
Compared with "bad mother", we prefer to call her "alternative mother". She is not bad, she is just different from most.
After her ex-husband passed away, Peng Lai returned from abroad. He did not play a scene with his daughter in tears and then relied on each other, but went straight to the money. She was thinking about selling her ex-husband's house within the Third Ring Road in Beijing (half of which was her property), and leaving with her daughter after sharing the money.
"
Not only did the two not have any deep love between mother and daughter when they first met, but in the next relationship, they also fell in love and killed each other. Both mother and daughter were too "crazy" and deserved to be close friends, such as splashing water, changing door locks, throwing clothes, burning beds, and pushing their mother down the river...
In such a pointed "tug-tug-tearing flower", the mother and daughter gradually heated up, but the audience still did not wait for Li Huanying's warm maternal love. Peng Lai loves her daughter, but she never changed herself from the most important position in her life. So, while her daughter fell asleep, she still secretly pressed her finger on the authorization letter for selling the house, and wanted to sell the house for money to continue her music career.
A mother who has not lost herself is shocking and touching. In the popular " Xiao Min's family ", last year, Zhou Xun also played a "selfish" mother. After losing the custody of her child, she went to Beijing to work alone, while Peng Lai was "selfish" more thorough than her. When her daughter asked her what rock is, she said, "Rock doesn't need to be defined, definition is what rock wants to break."
roughly watch, the mother in domestic dramas has long been separated from the era of Meng's mother, but when you look closely, even if you enter the era of the heroine drama, the female individual consciousness awakens, mother's love is like a mountain, and mother's strong narrative still has not changed much. No matter how decisive and self-improvement is in the workplace, when they are mothers, they will still forget that they should work hard to love themselves.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with maternal love. It is always great. Each of us is born and grown up because of this greatness. It deserves to be praised forever, but it cannot be nailed to the altar of the Virgin Mary forever. Mothers should not be an abstract collection, but different individuals. The greatness of maternal love and the efforts of maternal duties should not have unified standards. Otherwise, the "perfect mother" will become a heavy rock pressing on every woman, making women who want to become mothers have too much worries, or even a little fear.
I heard that the ending of the script was very realistic and cruel. In order to be broadcast smoothly, "Rock Flower" still compromised and made a warm reconciliation.
The most moving scene of the mother and daughter in the play is not the deliberate "confession of love" at the ending, but the one or two sentences that are inadvertently revealed. They chatted about Peng Lai's life in the United States. Peng Lai said that she lived in a bad place when she was in the United States and often slept with mice. Her daughter laughed and thought she was living in a big villa. Peng Lai replied casually, "I want to live in such a big house in the United States. Can I still not take you there to enjoy the happiness?" The daughter was stunned when she heard it. She suddenly felt something called "Mom".
With the changes of the times, society’s moral requirements for “mother” are also changing. Once upon a time, mothers who dedicated themselves to their families were praised, but now those who maintain personal consciousness are increasingly respected. When women can accept the role of "mother" more consistently, or even go further, and have the freedom to choose not to become mothers, they can better face their own growth.
