helpful Nathan
It is hard to say whether this is a drama or a reality show. Although the people in
did not play any role, the host also showed it as his real identity.
However, the plot of the story that was edited and presented is even more ups and downs than that of the movie. Starring
and also host, Nathan Field , is a very helpful weird guy.
For example, for car wash shops, it is recommended that the store manager find ways to attract some birds to live in the trees near the shop.
really doesn't work, and it's not impossible to rent a few chickens or peacocks on the tree.
In this way, birds, chickens or peacocks will poop on passing cars, and the owner will have the need to wash the car.
For example, in order to attract business for yogurt stores, it is recommended that yogurt stores launch a more eye-catching flavor -
stool flavor.
In "Rehearsal", he still upholds this helpful spirit and helps people solve problems everywhere.
Similar to your problem, a black brother named Kor encountered it in the play.
He is an unemployed man in his fifties.
Recently, a female friend Tricia always frequently introduces his work to him, which makes him very distressed.
Tricia is one of the friends he met in the puzzle Q&A event.
More than a year ago, in order to save face, Koul lied at a party that he had a master's degree.
Who knew that Tricia quietly took it to her heart.
After using various reasons to shirk, Koul came to the threshold of having to make a choice.
Out of guilt, he wanted to tell the truth to Trisia, but he was afraid of losing such a rare good friend.
When he was at a loss, Coul saw Nathan's helping notice and joined the rehearsal plan.
Of course, the solution to the problem is also very consistent with Nathan's usual style, which is the literal meaning of the drama title -
Through HBO's powerful money ability, rehearsal of scenes where you are worried about the death of the society.
, however, is different from the simple scenario simulation we usually imagine.
Nathan's rehearsal can be called a simulation.
After Coul confirmed that he would meet Trisia in a bar.
First conduct a field investigation, and then build an identical bar set in the factory 1:1. All props in
are restored strictly according to the original scene.
Then recruit and screen out actors who look like Tricia online.
After she got in touch with Tricia, she dressed up like Tricia and learned to imitate her way of speaking.
Finally, start from entering the door, every thing, every sentence -
Where to choose the seat, what dish to order, what to use as the opening remarks, all plan in advance.
They also made corresponding plans for all the possible reactions Tricia had made.
only apologizes for Koul's success.
is outrageous?
There is something even more outrageous - after the episode of
, Nathan even wanted to help a woman who hesitated whether to raise a child, rehearsing the entire stage of parenting process.
Within two months, through a large number of baby/child/teen extras, imitating the process of children from 0 to 18 years old.
Every time an actor changes, it tries to happen when it is not easy to be noticed.
For example, when the child falls asleep, the staff climbs into the house through the window and quietly replaces the child.
To a certain extent, what Nathan did was actually predicting the future.
creates the environment for future events through simulation, previews all possibilities, and defeats the uncertainty that comes with the future. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen the reality show like this.
show? drama?
It is necessary to mention the prototype of this drama, "The Rescue Master".
This is a reality show hosted by Nathan.
Main content As mentioned above, it helps small and medium-sized enterprises with business troubles solve business problems.
As for the final result.
is basically like Schrödinger's cat, or it's like taking off a hundred pairs of pants and farting.
You can say that he changed it, or you can say that he did not change it.
But, the money must have been spent, and the effort must have been put into practice.
The core idea of transformation is as shown in the picture
Highlights of "Salvation Master" are all about seeing how Nathan seriously implements these sand sculpture concepts.
But if that's all, then "The Rescue Master" is probably limited to the level of spoof comedy.
Thanks to Nathan himself, this reality show has taken a step further, becoming more profound and memorable.
We cannot confirm that this is because he has such a personality, or he has mixed performance elements in front of the camera -
In addition to "helping" others, Nathan is always looking forward to others being friends with him.
Give an example. There is an episode where he invites an actor to play the couple in love.
In order to guide the actress into the role, he took the initiative to sit in the position of the male actor.
Its original intention may be a confrontation, but later, when he began to ask the actress to repeat one of her lines:
I love you.
At this time, you can clearly feel that the taste of reality show has changed.
becomes more like a drama with stories and characters.
In other words, Nathan is not just a pure host in the reality show.
He personally carries a role growth line that is not very ostentatious -
A very socially terrifying person with a weird personality, eager to establish an intimate relationship with others.
The result is often failure because he does not understand the feelings between people very well.
Social terrorism journey of self-salvation
In "Rehearsal", Nathan gave a more comprehensive and in-depth interpretation of this character in "The Master of Rescue".
He no longer just desires to establish a close relationship with others.
He also longs to experience real life, real life.
But, it is still just a desire.
Why should we rehearse?
Because he is afraid of facing uncertainty in life and is afraid of failure.
. Since you can’t face the real life, then use rehearsal to copy the real life.
Relying on rehearsal to avoid social death scenes, it is actually to use the seemingly real and false attributes of rehearsal to allow yourself to experience life safely.
So, at first glance, Nathan is doing rehearsals for others in the play.
In fact, others are more like the test subjects Nathan used to test this method.
For example, when Coul thought it was his first time to meet Nathan, Nathan had actually stepped on the point in advance.
He asked the employee to pretend to be an insurer, and after entering Kool's house to find out the structure, he made a copy of it like a penny, and then invited actors similar to Kool to simulate various possible conversations.
Another example, at the beginning, Kool was guarded against Nathan and was unwilling to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.
So Nathan specially arranged a day off to take Koul on an outing and relax.
However, all activities are actually under Nathan's plan.
took Kouer to play the Frisbee, but he had already quietly replaced the bullet in the gun with empty bullet .
What you want is the resonance when two people fail together.
took Kouer to take a bath and have a heart-to-heart talk, but arranged an old man in advance to enter the pool at any time and interrupt their conversation.
Because he doesn't want to expose his true feelings too much, he wants to control everything in his hands.
This is also the very terrible and sad motivation hidden behind the rehearsal -
Nathan tried to isolate and defeat sensibility with human rationality, trying to control the future to some extent.
He cannot understand and is afraid of human emotions, including his own.
But as mentioned earlier, he actually longs to connect with others.
So, this "Rehearsal" can actually be viewed in this way.
That is, how Nathan overcomes his inner fear step by step and truly faces the process of real life.
That is, how Nathan gradually understood the fact that the future could not be controlled.
cannot be completely copied because of the complexity and subtlety of the real world, just like the matrix in " Matrix ".
Because people's feelings are ever-changing, complex and subtle, they cannot be predicted.
So, even if he helped Koul make full preparations.
He still didn't expect that when Coul really saw Tricia, he retreated at the last moment.
It doesn't matter if Cole can bear the actor who plays Tricia's rejection of him N times.
But when he really faces Tricia, he still hesitates and is still afraid.
At the beginning, Nathan was just an observer of human behavior illustrations, helping others rehearse.
But later, he began to gradually participate -
When the male guest in the parenting plan quit halfway, he couldn't help but take over.
The inevitable failure of the rehearsal for real life finally came as scheduled and came to him.
Sanity and Emotion
Be Happy For MeMusic: The Kinnardlys - Singer-Songwriter
Nathan can still accept and change the collapse of the external environment in the rehearsal.
For example, because to imitate the passing of events, vegetable seeds that have just been planted in the ground must grow fruit in just a few days.
so the staff can only buy it at the market and then put it in the garden.
Once, the staff forgot to tear off a tag on a green pepper and was seen by Nathan.
Nathan did not point it out, nor did he interrupt the rehearsal.
He just walked over silently and turned the green pepper into a dough.
However, he is powerless to stop the occurrence of human emotions and changes in emotions.
last episode.
A little boy without a father Remi , developed feelings for each other during the rehearsal.
The separation of the two made Remy very sad, which made Nathan feel very guilty.
A whole episode, he was trying to explore how to avoid the occurrence of feelings.
He even found other actors to rehearse the rehearsal of He and Remy, trying to find problems from it.
But no matter whether he changes actors or human figure dolls, he can no longer eliminate his feelings for Remy.
Later, Nathan also played Remy's mother and wanted to look at the problem from a different perspective.
Finally, even in the process of comforting the "fake Remy", he subconsciously broke this layer of disguise:
I will always be by your side because I am your dad.
did not escape into the rehearsal like before, and he admitted and confirmed this again.
Maybe he has not yet fully stepped out of the comfort zone of rehearsal, because at this time Remy is still a temporary actor.
But, at least, this means that the disguise built by Nathan with rehearsal has begun to collapse.
And what's more interesting is.
episode does not end with his affectionate hug with the little boy.
But they both got up and left, Nathan's slipping underwear, and his half-exposed crotch facing the audience's shot.
There is no doubt that he did it on purpose.
Even though he was unintentional during the filming, he still used it as the last shot of the whole show when the film was finally cut.
This is a reminder to remind the audience that all this may be fake.
The so-called finally breaking the inner wall he built may be just a script and routine he has carefully designed.
When false is true, true is also false, and there is nothing but nothing.
may be the only way to crack it, no longer care about whether it is true or false.
To some extent, this is back to using reason to fight sentiment, which is still a deception to oneself.
However, perhaps we desire this kind of deception.
