极品基老伴第一季

     我是喜欢英语的人，但是却真的没有看过任何美剧，每次听别人聊美剧都觉得自己是局外人，曾经也想附庸风雅，于是去搜索他们口中的香饽饽各种美剧，但都坚持不了5分钟，就忍不下去了。
     这不？又闲了，除去看书，上网实在没有事情做，我一直不明白有人离不开网，因为我不知道上网我应该干什么，我上网会想个傻瓜一样，我对娱乐，体育，金融，赚钱，游戏，网购，世界各地的天灾人祸都不敢兴趣。
想起最近收到的诈骗短信和邮件，对方都是用我的身份信息，推算我的年龄和可能遇见的问题，模仿情侣，模仿领导，模仿某网站给我发信息都让我哭笑不得：
您孩子的分数——我孩子，呵呵；
你领导。。。。。。——我领导，呵呵；
你和某某的视频——我，呵呵；
因为你最近在某网站的贡献——我至少半年没有上那个网站了，哪有贡献？他们不知道某网站关闭对XJ的开放吗？呵呵。
技术含量这样的骗局这么多，大家都这么缺钱？

话说这个英剧，这是我唯一看过的英剧，昨天竟然看完了一季，原因很简单，一季一共6集，半小时一集很过瘾，这6集的长度合计也就不足一部印度电影的长度，哈。

好看在哪里？
英式幽默比美式幽默高级？我也没有看过美剧，根本不知道什么美式幽默，无法对比。
虽然和外国人共事了整整三年，有英式口语，也有美语，因为都可以听得懂，不觉得有太多区别，对于我英式发音比美语不那么容易听懂。对于幽默，我觉得老外和中国人都一样，该笑的地方都笑，没有太多地域差别。

两个老头在一起生活了48年后的晚年逗趣生活，喜剧的高明在于笑料里很多真谛和真相，笑过之后还会回味。
除了喜欢这两个老头，还特别爱那个健忘的老奶奶，可爱死了。
另外，每次开场斯图亚特给母亲编谎话的电话，也是一个盼头，怎么能编48年呢，真是让人唏嘘。

我们的电视拍不出这样的内容和东西，但是还好网络上还是让放了；
而我们的演艺明星里少有晚年的题材还能如此受到广泛关注，更没有那个电影节在中华大地上能让老年影星获得最佳男女主角的，只看小鲜肉。

社会发展的阶段不同吗？
不知道。

英剧向来迷你，夏洛克三集片还一年只出一季，不知道多少迷妹等的心力交瘁。这部《极品基老伴》也是迷你的不要不要的，一季6集，每集20分钟，就是说周末一下午您就可以看完了~而且英国作为腐国向来以盛产男男CP为荣，这次的《极品基老伴》干脆直击腐女G点，以Gay为主角。而且两位主角都是英国公开出柜的娱乐界大佬，年轻时还是同学，又都荣誉等身，据说刚开拍就引起了诸多关注。不过本片给我的最大感受之一就是英国人的幽默还是很“学术”的。相对于美剧满屏的“fuck”，英剧从台词看就文明很多，不过这也与英国人骄傲自大有关，自不必多提。美剧看多了会发现美国人的幽默其实是很直来直去的，不拐弯也不收着，谁都可以听懂。而且对我们这些追剧的人来说，有时候就算分神不知道前面讲的什么也能get到笑点。而英剧就不同了，英剧更像是钱钟书的幽默，是读书人的幽默，尤其你不注意看前后的情节不注意听是无法get到笑点的。

本片的另一个亮点就是主角大部分都是老年人，有浪荡不羁的Vi，还有善忘的小老太太，每个人都很可爱，每个人都在告诉你老年并不那么可怕，老年也可以活得自由自在随心所欲。本剧最打动人的其实还是爱情，虽然美好的爱情都是相似的，但所有美好的爱情又都会触人心弦。本剧的两个主角是在一起48年的同性伴侣，48年的时间已经消磨掉很多东西，甜言蜜语被毒舌取代，爱情的冲动被亲情替代。你我之间可能没有了年轻时的激情，但我们彼此谁也离不开谁。

近几年英剧好剧层出不穷，这部也不容错过哦~

  三集一口气看完，拍案叫绝，简直要被两位老爷爷萌出内伤了！
  第一集开场斯图尔特扭着也许不再灵活但绝对销魂的腰肢说“oh，my god！”的时候我就预感这剧绝对对我胃口了。
   铺天盖地都在说这剧全场无尿点，确实，看着弗雷迪和斯图尔特这双活宝毒舌耍贱卖萌，你的眼睛哪里舍得离开哪怕0.01秒？国宝级老戏骨可不是盖的，还一次来俩，每一个表情都拿捏得如此到位，看两人火花四溅地对戏可真是享受啊！
    弗雷迪的那张嘴，可真是充分告诉你，姜还是又老又弯的辣，看着斯图尔特经常被他说得抿嘴委屈的小神情，简直被他们的互动搅得心神荡漾有木有！谁说暧昧浪漫只跟年轻、激情有关，老爷爷来告诉你什么才是荡人心魄的粉红！还有，甘道夫爷爷的大鼻子可真是又萌又性感啊！
    至于斯图尔特，当然也不是省油的灯啊，好些时候回击弗雷迪的毒舌都干脆利落，杠杠的女王范嘛， 可是怎么说呢，还是爱惨了你被欺负的委屈神情，瘪嘴垂眼，或者傲娇地叉腰什么的，对对对，还有你偶尔吃醋什么的我不会随便跟人讲啦。
    好啦，我得打住自己毫不矜持的花痴，说说严肃正经的了。
    这部剧笑点奇多，但如果仅仅只有泛滥低端的笑点，能拉得住我等要求日益变态要爆笑又要内涵的观众吗？所以，两位老爷爷是来给你们上课的，而且课题很深刻，爱情！
    第一集斯图尔特深感弗雷迪轻视自己，所以不开心地生闷气，这个时候，当然是要哄哄这傲娇扭头不搭理人的女王啦！一番抚毛后，弗雷迪一句直截了当的“I'm sorry”,前一秒还在喋喋不休愤愤不平的女王马上温柔地回应“oh，that' all right” 很好笑的一幕，可笑着笑着，心中却莫名其妙地温暖无比。这样的小细节还有很多，比如弗雷迪不经意搭在斯图尔特肩上的手，比如斯图尔特刚刚被弗雷迪损完，但还是会下意识地问他要不要茶，比如两人的动作有时会出奇的一致宛如双生兄弟……
    有些爱我们还很陌生，我们不知道在这48年的相伴中，他们经历过怎么样的心酸和不被理解的孤独，又是怎样地一边互相嘲弄一边坚持所爱，所以我们很难懂得他们为什么可以火力全开地吐槽对方，却又也可以温情脉脉地彼此对视；所以我们很难懂得他们为什么毒舌地放大对方的每一个缺点，却又会小心翼翼地保护着对方的自尊；他们不需要太多懂得，我们不懂得的爱，于他们却已是一种深入骨髓的习惯和默契。他们已经老去，却依然用可爱的方式相爱着，拌嘴，吃醋，闹别扭……
    有些爱我们还很陌生，却让人想用最美好的词语去描绘。我不知道细水长流这样烂俗的形容会不会让人觉得矫情，但他们的爱那般美好，我只想再恶俗的地说一句，我能想到最浪漫的事，就是陪你慢慢变老，对了，还有几十年如一日地欺负你，看你吃醋，惹你炸毛，然后再和你说一句你懂我懂的“I’m sorry”。

Q: What drew you to Vicious?

A: Derek and I arranged a reading with friends. We went round to Derek’s and read the script, and our friends laughed all the way through. I thought, “Aha, it works.” Its aim is to entertain people by making them laugh, and once I realised it did, I was very glad to do it.

Q: Please describe your character for us.

A: Freddie is a pain in the neck, but he’s also a survivor. He’s game. He’s always up for it. He is also honest and is not afraid to speak his mind. I really do like Freddie.

Q: How would you characterise the relationship between Freddie and Stuart?

A: It’s a relationship of long standing. They have fallen into the habit of being horrid to each other. Although they’ve got into this habit, they clearly still love each other in the way that people who have been together for nearly 50 years do. They’ve survived. Anyone who was gay in the 1970s was rather heroic -‐ when Freddie and Stuart first knew each other, it was actually illegal. But they’ve come through thick and thin together, and are still incredibly close.

Q: Do they like to keep the rest of the world at bay?

A: Yes. They are not aware of much outside their own flat. They keep their curtains closed to shut out the outside world. The serious point is that for much of their lives they have had to live privately.

Q: Do you think this show will shock some people?

A: No. It’s not aiming to shock people. It won’t alarm anyone. It isn’t a satire or an expose of gay life. These characters just happen to be gay. For me it is as if TV has grown-‐up. In the past gay characters in sitcoms have been figures of fun. They were funny because they were gay. But I like the fact that these characters are funny because of the people they are. That’s a real advance.

Q: What do you think its appeal will be?

A: I think it’s a family show that will get the broadest possible demographic. Old people will respond to it and see themselves in it, gay people will respond to it and see themselves in it, and the rest will respond to it and see themselves in it. Everyone will be able to relate to these characters. It wasn’t meant to be a gay or an old audience.

Q: Have you enjoyed the studio recordings?

A: Very much so. Initially it seems confusing because as a theatre actor you think the audience is out there. But you have to remember that you also playing to an audience down the camera. You have to rely on the wonderful director, Ed Bye, who is a veteran of this type of comedy, to make sure you get the level right. Also at first it’s worrying as you think, “Am I going to remember the lines?” In the theatre, you have more rehearsal time, and in film you can stop and start. But with this, you just have to keep going. However, it’s really useful to have the studio audience there because they tell you exactly what’s funny.

Q: How have you found it working with Gary Janetti?

A: It’s been wonderful. It’s a fairly traditional sitcom which reminds me of The Golden Girls or I Love Lucy. Gary is very, very alert to what’s comedic. He writes hythmically and with great accuracy. He is very particular that we speak the lines exactly as they are written, in order to elicit a laugh. He’s marvellous to work with. All in all, it’s been a bit of a love-‐in!

Q: What are the advantages of casting you and Derek as Freddie and Stuart?

A: We don’t have to pretend we’ve known each other for 50 years because we have. It was a great relief when I saw the first episode and Freddie and Stuart looked as if they’d been together forever. That ease with each other is essential to the show. Some people will be delighted that Derek and I are making fun of ourselves. We’ve had a ball making Vicious. It’s been an absolute delight.
