六尺之下第五季

不知道怎么给这个剧打分了，从第一季看下来断断续续看了四五年，剧情太慢太悲伤 对人物的刻画真实到令人生厌，往往是看几集就扔在一边，下次想起来时候连前面剧情都忘光了。

但也同样是这个剧，有那么多那么多的精彩瞬间，nate在脑溢血的bgm里拥抱错误的女人，烧掉旧衣服旧家具的火光里ruth的脸色被映得红润，浑身散发着魅力的billy(我觉得他简直性感的要死)无可自制地亲吻自己的姐姐，maya像阳光洒在田野里一样的可爱笑脸，还有david在临死前看见keith穿着死神的红衣服笑得阳光灿烂。

除此之外这个剧每集开头的精巧设计，不断出现的死亡隐喻，通过与死人对话来展现的心理活动，对女权政治等话题若有若无的讨论，还有无可挑剔的剧情走向以及为每个人设计的结局，压抑凝重的氛围还有永恒的主题——死亡与爱，这部剧实在讨论了太多东西，也太引人深思，没有理由不打满分。

有时间打算仔细分析一下我比较喜欢的几个人物: david，brenda，rico和billy。

这部剧是08年开始看的，一直看到了第五季05，当时由于电驴资源不再更新了，一气之下就不看了。

没想到会在今年finish了它。

有人说看到最后，不想看到剧集的结束，因为好像爱上了fisher一家。

我想，其实我们是在他们一家人的生活中看到了自己生活的影子。

我们不过是在看着他人生活的时候再一次的复习了一遍自己的经历。

从神秘学说那种论调来讲，人类自古以来都是变化的同时也是不变的，而且人类群落中的悲欢离合永远只是在不同身份的人身上重复的。

因此，我想我们在看着别人的生活时，尤其是像fisher一家这种“沉重”的调调时，会格外的唤醒我们潜意识中那种对自己生活的、世界观的映射吧。

悲观主义者看到结尾会油然而生出“人类无论如何，最终归宿都是孤独的，因为无论如何两个人也不可能真正的结合在一起，完全的理解体会到对方内心的最深处”我更希望自己是个乐观主义者，但是可惜的是我能深刻的感受到悲观主义那种观念带来的情绪波动，让人想哭，好像孤零零一个人站在广袤的黑暗的天幕下，四周没有一个人。

也许天底下没有真正的乐观主义吧，只是在认识到严酷现实之后的强作欢颜和一遍遍的tell myself变得坚强，然后努力的看到、努力去寻找生活中各种各样的阳光吧。

在大家内心中，有那种想与时代贴近，想感受到时代脉搏的渴望吗？

有的时候，会有一种更接近神的幻觉，好像看到了自古以来人类发展的所有蓝图一样，内心激动、兴奋却又平静安宁。

maybe i'm crazy....

Six Feet Under在Sia的breathe me中走向剧终，这部剧让我有过太多次emotional moments，毛姆讲他不高兴的时候就需要故事，越不高兴的时候就越需要故事。

我是一个很容易不快乐的人，所以我很感激在我不高兴的日子里知道的故事。

故事里的人和情景会在你的世界里搭建起另一个世界，在那里，你以你的方式懂得他们每一个人，更有意思的是，他们也会以你所希望的方式理解着你。

就像黄薄码说的，你会发现凭借自身构建起来的小世界，能以体恤式的温柔，消解自身的苦难。

Tom: It's that young, all that energy, you know? It's like she reminds me of this part of me that I've forgotten even existed, you know?Nate: No, I don't know.Tom: Really? I mean, don't you ever lie awake in bed at night and just think, "Jesus, fuck, I'm going to be forty fucking years old"?Nate: No, I don't. I lie in bed awake at night thinking, "Thank you, god, thank you for letting me live this long." I've just had a lot of serious shit happen to me in my life. And I really get it now that this doesn't last. And I'm no different from anybody else. Yes, indeed this will happen to me. It is happening to me a little bit each day. And that doesn't freak me out. If anything, it's liberating.Tom: Okay, so I guess it comes with the territory? I mean, your job?Nate: No, I don't think it's the job, really. It's just the job allows me to practice being okay with it.Tom: Yeah yeah, okay, so there. You have to practice. Okay? So you're really not okay with it.Nate: Well, of course, you have to practice.Tom: Yeah, but Nate...it's just so fucking big. I mean, it's all going by so fucking fast.Nate: Would you change anything?Tom: Like what?Nate: Like who you're with or what you do or what kind of person you are. Because if you would, do it now.Tom: Whoa, dude. That's really harsh.Nate: Well, look, this is it, Tom! This is all we have. Right here, right now.Sn 5 Ep 2 Dancing for MeNate: I just feel like all I do, all day long, is just manage myself, try to fuckin' connect with people. But it's like, no matter how much energy you pour into getting to the station on time, or getting on the right train, there's still no fuckin' guarantee that anybody's gonna be there for you to pick you up when you get there.Maggie: Well, I know that if you think life is a vending machine, where you put in virtue and you get out happiness, then you're probably gonna be disappointed. I know that. Nathaniel Sr.: No, time flies when you're pretending to have fun. Time flies when you're pretending to love Brenda and that baby she wants so much. Time flies when you're pretending to know what people mean when they say "love".Sn 5 Ep 4 Time FliesTo connect and to seek love. That's practically the central purpose motivating every human being, maybe every living being in this world. We're all born alone and humans, with our "advanced" mind, are more aware than all other species of this utter loneliness that's separating every individual apart. A person could never be completely understood by another. So we try. We try so hard to find connections. In persons around us, in our pets, in dead men's thoughts through books, in fantasies, everywhere regardless of time and space. But so often we fail. We find tiny bits of connections here and there but they barely last. We invest so much and expect something in return, but the world is never reasonable. It slaps our face and turns its back. We're hurt and frustrated and feel ever more alone. We try to run away. We hide in a dreamed world. Drugs, alcohol, sex, anything that can numb our loneliness for a little while will do. We're tired and afraid. We don't understand why people around us make life look so easy while it is just so damn hard. We're angry but we can do nothing. Nothing. We're utterly alone. We need someone, something to love, and be loved. Otherwise, it doesn't feel like being alive. We feel like we're dissolving into the air and matter no more. We learn to accept and focus on what we have, but the heart is always restless and yearning for more. It's a rolling film that keeps subverting hard-won peace and inciting betrayal. We follow the same path before and we never learn. When will there be a full stop?Notes on Sn 5 Ep 4 Time FliesWords lost and gone.Nate: Stop listening to the static.Claire: What the fuck does that mean?Nate: Nothing. It just means that everything in the world is like this transmission, making its way across the dark. But everything – death, life, everything – it's all completely suffused with static. [makes static sounds] You know? But if you listen to the static too much, it fucks you up.Sn 5 Ep 11 StaticStayed up all night and finished the whole series at three o'clock in the afternoon. I haven't cried this much for a long time, let alone for a show. What's funny is that I'm not even sure why I'm crying. I could not control my tears even before the montage of Claire driving away and each one's fate spreading out began. I miss my mom dearly. I feel as if my life is also ending with the show ending. All these people are smiling and dying, as if I'm losing them all. They have somehow transcended the fictional barrier and become real to me, a group of old friends laughing and crying their life.I lost part of this note when my browser froze. I was determined to recall what I wrote and write them down. I could not even let a few words go. But I am tired and sad, and my eyes well up with tears every time I recall the song played at the very end, Sia's Breathe Me.HelpI have done it againI have been here many times beforeHurt myself again todayAnd, the worst part is there's no one else to blameBe my friendHold me, wrap me upEnfold me, I am small And needy, warm me upAnd breathe meOuch, I have lost myself againLost myself and I am nowhere to be found, yeahI think that I might breakLost myself again and I feel unsafeBe my friendHold me, wrap me upEnfold me, I am smallAnd needy, warm me upAnd breathe meBe my friendHold me, wrap me upEnfold me, I am smallAnd needy, warm me upAnd breathe meOfficial Obituaries on HBORuth O'Connor FisherRuth Fisher was born in Pasadena in 1946 and died at Good Samaritan Hospital of Glendale on Wednesday.

一个看起来很好的坏人 一个应该快乐的却从不曾快乐的人 如果让我给Nate 写 墓志铭 应该就是这样的吧。

为什么要让Nate先醒来 对布兰达说了那些话 然后才死去 最后也要让他成为坏人 一个不负责任的人 而不是 让布兰达想着 他还在努力 的人 他和布兰达的爱那么热烈 结果失败了 他认为萨拉是温柔聪明的知己 结果失败了 最后 他认为 玛姬是个deeply kind的人 其实他们的结局应该还是失败 有些人也许注定孤独 注定漂泊 但他们表面看起来完美 所以他们总是能遇到一个相投的人 但就像布兰达最后说的 他个自恋狂 没有能力对什么事什么人负责 最开始的时候 我最喜欢NATE 因为他温柔 长得帅 人善良 但是最后的时候 最讨厌的就是他 虽然看起来完美 但是 只适合观望 就像个艺术品 如果和他做朋友 一面之交 那是很好的 但是 如果要想和他一起走下去 真的会崩溃 他自我感觉良好 人人都这么觉得 他不觉得自己有问题 因为他一直希望所有人开心 因此做着可能不自己不喜欢的事情 但是 内心还是会有怨气 时间长了 他就会把怨气发泄出来 “我做所有事 只是因为想让你们开心 甚至 违背我自己的意愿 你们还是不满意 ” 我认为 nate的问题 在于 把自己定位得太完美 而实际上不是的 所以 当他用高标准约束自己做了很多自己真正不想做的 真正内心是不开心的 有怨气的 这种不平衡 导致对他人的不满 对关系的不满 最终导致破裂 所以当关系进行到一定程度 就会结束 就像一个必然的过程 然而 自己却难以认识到问题所在 他认为 我看到有夫妇可以和平相处的 我和你不行 因为我们不同 但却从不思考 其实是自己的原因所以 不同的人 不同的关系 实际上以同一原因结束 人都是自私的 如果你不是一个无私的人 也不要逼自己成为一个无私的人 看似奉献 只不过会伤害更多人 自己也会痛苦 这也是为什么要忠于内心 要接受自己 欺骗总是不好的 不管你有怎样的缺点 如果你肯主动亮出来 总会有人包容你 一个潇洒真实的人 谁都喜欢 看完第十集补充：看完这集就像刚刚参加完nate的葬礼一样 必须哭了 我一向如此 代入感太强 然后就觉得 I'm so mean 刚刚说的都是nate 让我思考的 为人方式的问题 但不管怎样 不管我们是什么样的人 这世界上都有人爱着我们 -至少是我们的家人因此 不管一个人是怎样的（额 当然 除了那种……） 都值得尊重 因为 这世界上有爱着他的人 他们不希望他被人随意judge 或侮辱nate 走好

看第一季的时候人人有个短评说剧集最后几分钟的升华前面的等待都值了，才看到第五季，果然这种放着背景音乐的人生闪回会让人感慨唏嘘良久。

我可能更喜欢David和Keith，Rico和Vanessa,好像全剧他们才是认真生活互相鼓励渡过难关和人生低谷的，其他人都在重复某种模式，Brenda不安着，不断背叛，Ruth寂寞着，不能停止找伴，Claire迷茫着，一边呐喊一边放纵.....从头到尾最偏爱的还是David可能是发着火都觉得是温柔着的那种性格吧，还有一直对家庭和家人有羁绊感，永远不可能像Nate一样绝决地离家出走，就是自己内心觉得自己"不得不"，这个“不得不”可能是家庭无形给他的"强加",也可能是自己作的茧，但无论如何，他都从不情不愿到坦然接受，也兢兢业业地对自己的选择负责。

然后弹幕和评论骂得最多的是Ruth，但家里有位严重缺乏情绪管理，一点就着的母亲，倒也见怪不怪了，Ruth最后也是找到了自己相对独立的人格，有朋友伴，有爱人约会，有照顾狗狗的事业，那些过早成为人妻成为母亲的，以丈夫孩子为生活重心，以至于过度渗透他们生活的，莫名会有自己付出了那么多理应如何的，莫名会有自己委屈不自胜一时亲昵视你如宝贝一时咆哮叫滚蛋的，终究会找到那条除了依附于别人的灵魂的，自己独自能走的路，只是真的要花好久好久的时间，久到被她依附过的灵魂自己也迷失了方向，只能按曾经被给予的残缺又矛盾的方式去爱和对待别人的时候，久到那个弱小的被依附着的个体随着时间长大到比她还老还老，却仍对激烈的情绪大声的话语无所适从的时候，久到这个个体如浮萍柳絮随风飘荡，对心之所向无法开口无从坚持，对求而不得连责怪的资格都没有的时候。

大二大三追了两年，断断续续地看，这部剧格调太压抑，这也和HBO台的观众群有关，成年人居多，他们想看的是对生活人生彻底的剖析，说真的很难再找到一部把每个人物都刻画得淋漓尽致的电视剧了，五季以来没撒过狗血和故意挖坑，编剧艾伦鲍尔用四季把每一个人物的生活fucked up，用最后一集让所有人释怀。

美剧最大的优点就是所有人都不是完美的，they are flawed，而这部剧每个人的缺点真的好多好多，ruth极其孤独，david懦弱，claire玩世不恭，nate偏执和自以为是，brenda的忧虑和slut属性，rico的怯懦。

编剧功力真厉害，所有人物关系齐头并进，渐进发展，把主角们最fucked up的生活展现给我们看，真的太过真实、压抑，不论是主演抑或每一集殡仪馆顾客的家属，演技自然流畅、真实，用悲痛的基调一遍遍地击打着观众的心，我是个玻璃心，所以我看这部剧很痛苦。

这剧最精彩的一点我觉得就是编剧创造性地把每个人的心理活动演出来，还有把每集的死者融入进线索，钩织出人物的内心活动，常常会看着看着突然Nate或者David破口大骂，下一帧却又是端坐在此，多么压抑，连自己想说的都说不出来。

把每集死者加入剧情，和主角对戏，展现人物内心活动而没有写成鬼故事，这种技法到现在我没有见过任何一个电视剧再用，还是那句，编剧太厉害。

最后的最后，Nathaniel最疼爱的小女儿Claire开着车，穿梭在一望无际的州际公路上，每个人物的命运飞速前行，编剧给了每个人善终，解开了所有人的心结：Ruth接受了George的陪伴不再孤单，David和Keith顺利结合，Claire收获与Ted幸福，Brenda找到真爱，就是这样，把死亡看的多了，看穿了，也就无所畏惧了。

我们每个人终会死去，这并不可怕，我们要做的是不让自己再那么扭曲，活的不要想除了最后一集里的主角那样压抑痛苦，改变对生活的态度，战胜怯懦、固执，去接受他人的关心，去用不多的时间陪伴家人，去追寻自己的理想。

想想Nate是最遗憾的，在碰到Maggie之前从未得到真爱，Nate是全剧唯一一个没有机会活出自己想要生活的主角，而编剧花了最大篇幅去描写他的生活，这也是一种讽刺吧。

死亡这个命题太难去讲，这部剧没有太多鸡汤，每个人都是展现着自己的生活，我们从不同的人身上都能发现不同的道理，不妨审视一下自己，你想要什么？

Ruth最后去世的眼神，至今难忘，人生苦短，要活得精彩啊，要活得不那么扭曲啊，然后Let it go

终于 全看完了 结局clair开车时的片段真是哭的不像样子 非常的不舍得 是一定要重温的片子。

这部片子我看的时候真的基本每集都要流泪，因为感觉刺骨地真实，所有争吵，所有情绪，所有迷茫，都是那么真实地出现在生活中的。

它们被巧妙地捕捉，每一个画面都充满张力，每一个停顿和眼神，都能让人体会到隐含的情绪。

情节的发展十分平缓和自然，但是又时不时会有意外，正如同人生。

连续着将《六英尺下》看完后，我感到非常烦闷。

这个烦闷和这部五十小时左右的电视剧主题有很大关系，当我总结出主题后立马就对此剧编导制作方产生深深的怨恨。

我揣测此剧被产生的目的是制作方为了让群众铭记他们的英名或者为获得金钱。

我不会推荐此剧给亲友，任谁观看此剧都是自虐。

如剧中女主人公Brenda所说，每一种信息都会在人身上留下印痕。

此剧的主题和透露出的信息不是良善和光明，而是人工合成的黑暗和没有意义的牲畜般的死亡。

严肃的说，我认为此剧编剧的学历要高于《老友记》编剧的学历，且此剧有欧洲味道。

不难推测，编导队伍里面混有同性恋群体，剧情义正言辞的为男同和女同发出了呼声。

伍迪艾伦那样的善于自嘲的犬儒分子和对暴力有精到认识、熟练制作惊悚片的人员在此剧制作方中也不乏人选。

此剧中心思想用一句话概括就是：每个人都没有出路，所有人都没有出路。

此剧以颇有质感的喜剧开场，以没有任何附带意义的死亡收工。

中间七扭八转，包含欺诈，各种肏屄含anal sex，暴力和轻松愉快的死亡。

比较而言，我国《红楼梦》中的死亡之外似乎还是有让人回味的东西存在，陀思妥耶夫斯基的死亡离开不信仰，而《六英尺下》式的死亡是没有任何意义的空荡荡的死亡。

追完《火线》之后，本打算追《黑道家族》的，但网络上却找不到未删减版的资源，于是就看了《六尺之下》。

相较于《越狱》的紧促，《绝命毒师》的深刻以及《火线》的宏大，似乎很难找到一个恰如其分的词来标记它，一番纠结之后，我想到了“平淡”和“荒凉”。

平谈是我看它时的状态，荒凉是我看完它时的感受，却都无关于《六尺之下》本身。

《六尺之下》五季共63集，每一集都以一个凡人荒诞或惯常的死亡开始，一直到第五季，再以费雪一家以及与之生命中有过交集的人的相继离世作结，完成了一个美国殡葬业家族两代人生命的轮回。

第一季第一集伊始，就以费雪家族里父亲的意外离世开篇，然后便是其余家族成员在怪诞的状态下仓促的出场，从而奠定了该剧边缘、荒诞、黑色幽默的总基调。

然后几集看下来，你又会发现这个家族里似乎没有一个正常人，个个都是怪咖，即便是已经离世的父亲，也被发现生前的许多不为人知的一面。

他们行为怪诞，举止荒唐，漠视传统，游离规则，同时内心又无比挣扎纠结。

然而在暗自窃笑之后，你又觉得他们有一些可爱，有一些率真，甚至有一些熟悉。

直到终于有一集，于某个瞬间，你会忽然发现他们中的某一个像极了我们身体内的另一个自己——那个被传统、规则禁锢了很久的，或者被我们藏匿了很久的，另一个不为外人所知的自己。

于是，伪装尽数卸去，灵魂渐趋打开，我们袒露出内心最柔软的那一部分，温情脉脉的看着他们琐屑生活中的喜怒哀乐，庸常人生中的悲欢离合，仿佛是在看着自己的另外一种人生。

直至有一天他（她）溘然长逝，长眠于六尺之下，而关乎我们自己的另外一种人生，也被埋葬，永入苍茫。

于恍惚之间，便似乎有了一种已然活过一次的沧桑感。

其实我们每一个人的生命又何尝不是如此，仓促或者漫长的数十年里，在经历了至亲的人一个个相继离世之后，终于有一天自己也撒手人寰，于是万念俱灭，万事俱空，这个或缤纷或凄凉的世界于我们而言又重新归于荒凉。
