圣橡镇少年

仅以标题献给我遥遥无期的肥皂剧之旅这其实是一篇看过的肥皂的综合讨论，之所以放在JPC的名下，只因为它是我第一部完整看完的肥皂线。总之，一个肥皂一个坑，肥皂没压力所以弃起来也特别的爽快。进入正题之前，先道个歉：首先，向lennyTX道歉，我竟然之前说你是肥皂第一渣攻，现在我终于知道我错了。其次，向christianTX道歉，我竟然之前说你最能吃醋，现在我终于知道你是多么大度。最后，向David TX道歉，我竟然之前说你最深柜，现在我终于知道你这柜出的是多么的决绝。好吧，写道这儿我承认是意有所指（瞪Craig），至少在订婚那场戏前，Craig绝对是我肥皂生涯里见过的最渣最自我最没人性最欠调教最深柜最酸最想一巴掌糊他脸上而后快的攻，没有之一，能在肥皂剧这个比八股文还stereotype的框架里塑造这么一个让人印象深刻的渣攻，绝对是编剧史上的一大奇迹，更奇葩的是我们一众肥皂控顶着没字幕的利物浦鸟语守着画质时好时坏的资源，一边骂着狗血，一边竟然把180集给看完了，只能说，明知山有虎，偏向虎山行的犯贱精神是全人类通用的，与君共勉。于是先来评价一下JPC，我只能说JPC的编剧在订婚那场戏前绝对就没有认真的想过剧情，一遍一遍的重复完全不推进，就我看来，JP对C的爱慕最多算是少年心事，认识的时间又不长，算不得竹马，没经历大风大浪，算不得至死之交，即使一见钟情，被Craig这么两三下折腾，JP也应该早就没好感了，更何况后来男友也有了，甜蜜什么的就更不用讲了，所以前半段就连我这个渣攻倒贴受铁杆爱好者都觉的剧情讲不过去，没办法，肥皂剧买的就是这种成吨的狗血，我忍就是了。倒是后来Craig回归部分情节流畅，顺带着些惊悚悬疑，反倒衬出最后的甜甜美美是多么不易，JP不再纠结和一味退让，C也不再渣和自我，你说你们俩一开始这样多好。说到肥皂，这年头大肥皂小肥皂看了不少，其实肥皂的剧情实在没什么花样，大多就是：A男出柜，B男伪直，虐来虐去之后也总算守的云开见日出，于是肥皂多半看得不是剧情，毕竟结果我们比编剧还清楚，看演员也未必，肥皂的演员多半是你看着看着才顺眼的，第一眼吸引多半少见。其实说到底，肥皂看得就是成吨的狗血，记得谁说过，不是每个人都需要爱情，也不是每时每刻都需要爱情，别没事就把爱情看得豁大豁大的，其实谁离了爱情都能活，肥皂给我们的就是一个浓缩了的爱情，弃掉鸡毛蒜皮加上勾心斗角，几十个人的爱情生活全都过在一个人的身上，看着能不过瘾吗，不过，也就是看看不是吗，真要想肥皂这么活，不如死了得了。总是生命不息肥皂不止，人总要犯犯贱不然还活个毛啊

    As I've got used to US accent and BBC accent, I felt shocked when I began to watch UK soap series"Hollyoaks", in that the accents of the castings were so various that I could hardly catch the lines. You have no idea how much I felt frustrated and disappointed with the fact. But because of the lauds the series received, I pushed myself through it even though without any subtitle. gradually I got used to the strange dialect, and understood the plot. I believe once you've made up your mind to do something, just go for it whatever difficulties you would get, and you will find yourself achieving the aim finally.   To be honest, from the outset, I was not so interested in this series just because I had seen some pictures of John Paul and Craig. And I felt Craig was a guy with a mediocre face not for my taste. God who the hell knows that when I've finished the show, he is the favorite boy of mine?    The story begins with Craig being teased by one classmate and then being rescued by John Paul. Then they become mates going to school and playing together. When Craig falls in love with a pretty girl Sarah, John Paul gives some advices how to chast girls. and Craig hope John Paul to relate with Sarah's best friend Hannah so that he can get the chance to contact with Sarah. Then two couples begin to play together. but surprisingly John Paul finds himself having no feelings for Hannah, on the contrary, he feels jealous watching Craig with Sarah. Then in Hannah's birthday party, John Paul is out of control, and tells Craig the truth that he is in love with craig. so the relationship between them becomes delicate, although craig refuses John Paul's love, but he can't stop keeping watching John Paul. then John Paul's first boyfriend comes up, which makes craig upset and distracted. then he escapes from an exam and goes to Jaul Paul's, condemn John Paul for stopping loving him. then he is cring and tell Jaul Paul that he can't stop thinking about him and he want him. They kiss together and get laid. But afterwards Craig can't accept that he's slept with a man, and always thinks himself a staight man, so he refuses to admit he's gay, and doesn't want to split with Sarah. John Paul keeps asking Craig to be honest and terminate relationship with Sarah. They always quarrel with anger and then end up reconciling by Craig's kiss. The state continues until the engagement of Craig and Sarah when Sarah comes across the scene of Craig making out with John paul. at last Criag makes the choice that he loves John Paul more than Sarah, and he wants to be with John Paul. But he still refuses to admit he is gay because he has no feeling for any other man but John Paul. At the last moment, John Paul feels disappointed and breaks up with Craig at the airport when waiting for flight for dublin. One year later, after craig gets clear about himself and the feeling for John Paul, he comes back for resuming relationship with John Paul. Of course the sunset ending comes.      I can't believe I've written down so much about the series. I have to highlight that I agree with craig's thought that he only gets in love with John Paul and he isn't gay. Because John Paul is his best friend ever and he relies on John Paul all the time. For all the reasons he's gradually in love with John Paul after John Paul've confessed to him. emotion is always complicated, you have no idea when and how it happens. And you have no way to control yourself staying away from it. sometimes It makes you delighted, and the other time it makes you desperate.

《圣橡镇少年》豆瓣7.4，399人评价——这个分数和人数在国内完全是小众冷门，但它在英国却是跟《加冕街》平起平坐的国民剧。我刷了前三季，第一感觉就是：这剧太敢拍了。1995年开播，那时候同性恋话题还是禁忌，它直接让一个男角色公开出柜，后来更是把性少数群体作为常规故事线，这在同类英剧里算先驱。有意思的是，它不像某些肥皂剧只玩狗血三角恋，而是真的把镜头对准吸毒、种族歧视、家庭激烈对抗这些硬骨头。比如有一段，女主角染上毒瘾后偷钱买粉，那种堕落感拍得特别真实，不是教育片的说教，而是让你看着一个普通人怎么一步步烂掉。观众反馈里有人夸它“敢于触及尖锐社会问题”，没错，它就是这种气质。当然，文化差异让一些国内观众觉得部分剧情太夸张——比如一个镇子每年死好几个人，但这就是英国肥皂剧的传统，要的就是戏剧性…主演Nick Pickard从1995年演到现在，Tony Hutchinson从一个毛头小子变成中年大叔，快三十年的角色成长线，这种陪伴感是美剧给不了的。我不觉得7.4分低，因为这种剧的评分本来就偏粉丝向，它不需要用高分证明自己，有勇气就够了。
