第一季9.0分、第二季9.6分的豆瓣高分喜劇動畫片《馬男波杰克》絕對是神劇中的神劇。這是一部平均十秒一個笑點的悲劇,談笑間淚流滿面,傷感時忍俊不禁,悲喜巧妙地融合在一起。擬人化的動物與人共存的世界略奇葩,然而一旦接受了這個設(shè)定又會覺得很有趣。馬男波杰克孤獨寂寞的內(nèi)心世界似乎總能輕易地觸動你的心靈,讓你莫名傷感,然后下一秒又笑得不能自已,致郁又治愈。
The saddest show on television is not a drama but rather a half-hour animated
comedy.BoJack Horseman was the best show of 2014.I stand by thatclaim[聲稱], and
believe that it could even keep thetop spot[榜首]in 2015, despite plenty of competition.
The animated series takes place in a version of Hollywoodinhabited[居住]by both humans and human-like animals.BoJack Horseman is a horse who was also the star of a 1990ssitcom[情景喜劇]Horsin’ Around.Now, BoJack is a tired, drunkhas-been[過時的人]who lives in a big empty mansion with no one but Todd who calls BoJack’s couch home.
After hismemoir[自傳], ghost-written by Diane becomes a hit, BoJack is once again in the public spotlight and now trying for his dream role asSecretariat注1注1:電影《一代驕馬》(2010年)由真實故事改編,講述了一匹三連冠的賽馬及其主人的故事。.Thus, season two starts with a more positive feeling.
For anybody who has ever like the idea of animals acting like humans, then BoJack Horseman is paradise.There is no science involved, but this show is very detailed about what it would be like if animals acted like humans.
The show’s silliness hides its dark, emotional heart.BoJack is one of the most honestportrayals[扮演]ofdepression[抑郁]and loneliness that I can think of.In a season one episode, BoJack sincerely asks a crowd of people whether or not he is a bad person and it ischilling[令人寒心的].Like any confident comedy, BoJack Horseman knows that you don’t need constant jokes in order to be great.
Season two continues to take some bold storytelling risks and because it doesn’t have to introduce an entire world, it gets off to an even stronger start than season one.BoJack has finally landed his dream role and he might have even found love, butgiven that[考慮到]this is BoJack Horseman, that doesn’t mean he is happy.
Oh yes, BoJack Horseman is still a comedy, and one that is perfectlytailored[定做]for Netflix.LikeArrested Development注2注2:《發(fā)展受阻》是美國電視的著名情景喜劇,2003年在福克斯廣播公司(FOX)首播,播出三季后停播,2013年由Netfix網(wǎng)站續(xù)播一季。, it islayered[分層的]with jokes.It is the kind of show that is meant to be paused and rewatched over and over again.Let’s just say that BoJack Horseman is the only show I’ve ever watched with a talking horse that I have built a serious emotional bond with.
電視史上最悲傷的節(jié)目不是一部電視劇,而是一部單集片長為半個小時的喜劇動畫?!恶R男波杰克》是2014年年度最佳節(jié)目。我堅持這個觀點,并且相信它能在激烈的競爭中再次拔得頭籌。
這個系列動畫發(fā)生在另一個版本的好萊塢,一個人類與擬人化動物共存的世界。馬男波杰克是一匹明星馬,上世紀90年代主演情景喜劇《胡鬧的小馬》時風(fēng)靡一時。而如今的波杰克只是一個疲憊不堪、嗜酒成性的過氣明星,和以其沙發(fā)為家的(人類)托德生活在一棟空蕩蕩的豪宅里。
由黛安代筆的波杰克自傳大受歡迎后,波杰克重新回到大眾的視線中心,并爭取在《一代驕馬》中獲得夢寐以求的角色。因此,第二季是在一個較為輕松的氛圍中展開劇情的。
對于任何一個動物擬人化的愛好者來說,《馬男波杰克》簡直是天堂。這部動畫毫無科學(xué)依據(jù),卻極為細致地描繪了動物是如何像人類一樣生活的。
《馬男波杰克》的荒謬搞笑隱藏了它那顆憂郁、感情豐富的內(nèi)心。波杰克是我所能想到的對抑郁和寂寞最為坦率的角色了。在第一季的某一集里,波杰克真誠地問了一大群人他是不是一個壞人,得到的答案讓人心寒。和其他信心滿滿的喜劇一樣,《馬男波杰克》知道一部偉大的喜劇并不需要持續(xù)不斷的笑點。
第二季繼續(xù)冒險講一些大膽的故事,而且因為它并不需要為你介紹一個完整的世界,它的開頭比第一季還給力。波杰克最后得到了他夢寐以求的角色,甚至也可能找到真愛,但這并不意味著他是幸福的,畢竟這是《馬男波杰克》。
哦是的,《馬男波杰克》依然是一部喜劇,也是為Netflix網(wǎng)站量身定做的最佳喜劇。和《發(fā)展受阻》一樣,《馬男波杰克》的笑點也是層層堆積起來的。這是那種需要你按下暫停鍵、倒退回去反復(fù)觀看的節(jié)目。這么說吧,能讓我與一匹會說話的馬建立起真正情感紐帶的動畫,《馬男波杰克》是唯一一部。馬男波杰克的經(jīng)典語錄
1.不要停止奔跑,不要回顧來路,來路無可眷戀,值得期待的只有前方。
2.我都不明白,你自己都這么討厭自己,怎么還能期待別人去愛你呢?
3.我可是很了解真正的自己,相信我,不會有人愛那種人的。我需要去沖個澡,這樣我才不會看到自己哭出來。
4.人生總是如此,對吧?你要么知道自己想要什么,但是卻得不到;要么得到了,可是卻不知道自己想要什么了。我真的想讓你喜歡我,戴安。
5.看似與眾不同的人,實際上跟自己一樣脆弱一樣會受傷,他們的孤獨感會減少。
