巴瑞 第二季

Bill Hader曾在访谈节目中提到过他非常喜欢的一部剧：Snapped。通常是讲女人如何杀死自己丈夫的，他提到剧里一个片段：一个男人打了911说，那什么，我老婆射了我一枪，不过我把枪拿走了，我没事了，我们都没事了。警方说：那你们家有没有第二把枪？然后男人说：嗯，没有吧，我感觉应该没有……不对，我们有……然后电话挂断了。Bill Hader说虽然这男人被谋杀了，但他在地球的最后一刻是“comedy gold”。

看到这段访问大概能了解为什么这部剧集的幽默感往往带着诡异，而当镜头聚焦人物通常是边缘人物，这种聚焦显得犀利却又不乏悲悯。

Barry—被需要VS被接纳

Barry其实并不只是在杀手和演员两种职业之间做选择，而是在被需要和被接纳两种状态中做选择。

Barry在写自己的故事剧本时，他形容第一次杀人的感受：“有史以来第一次有了目标感，团队感。”而绝非他的演艺班同学想象的杀人后的彷徨失措。回忆中，所有战友围着他欢呼，Barry说这是他人生最棒的一天，觉得棒当然不是因为杀人，而是他这么些年来第一次感到被需要。

老江湖Fuches看到了Barry的这种技能可为他所用，开启了Barry退役的杀手生涯，Barry会接受这样的安排，需要谋生是一点，还有一点Barry并不愿意承认的是， Fuches在很长一段时间对Barry是父亲一样的存在。

遇到表演训练班的同学之后，与其说Barry被表演这个行业吸引，不如说他厌倦了这种基于被需要而存在的关系，身处这群渴望成名的无名演员中，Barry感到了被接纳。在一次深度的自我挖掘中，Barry向班主任Gene敞开心扉，聊起了他曾在战场试图救人最后演变成滥杀无辜的惨剧，Gene震惊后安慰他：你固然做了可怕的事，但这并不能完全定义你。

Barry在那一刻哭得像个孩子，之后又开心得像个孩子，急不可耐地跑去向Fuches诉说：我不用被我做过的糟糕的事所定义，我可以主宰这些事。是的，确实有那么一刻，Barry在fucked-up的人生看到了微光。

只是这种微光注定难以持久，同学们和Gene对Barry的接纳是有限的，是基于对一位从战场上退役后普通老兵的接纳，而非对于一边杀人一边演戏的双面Barry的接纳，这种有限的接纳将会在Barry真实身份曝光后荡然无存——Gene在第二季结尾已然得知Janice死亡的真相，同时Barry因为愤恨Fuches的作为而失控开启了一场屠戮，如旧日重演，只是杀伤力破坏力指数倍升级。这意味着Barry不断试图逃离，却始终被他自己困在原地。

Sally—强大VS真实

Sally这个人物在第二季里慢慢立了起来，因为她对于过去对于自己的那种纠结：到底要展现给观众强大的/幻想中的自己，还是真实的/脆弱不堪的自己。

毫无疑问她在上一段婚姻中是家暴受害者，可她潜意识里为自己感到羞愧，羞愧自己一直默默忍受，羞愧自己逃离时也没有反抗。

这种羞愧让她在之后的岁月面对这段回忆时，开始了自我保护的幻想：幻想自己反抗前夫的虐待，幻想自己主动地强硬地结束了这段关系。

她在Barry的鼓励下愿意演出故事的另一个版本，一个混乱、脆弱又真实的版本，一个没有对着前夫大吼我要离开你，而是前夫道歉后她回应我爱你的版本。在Barry的托戏下，这个版本得到同学和Gene的好评。

但当经纪人要把这一幕搬到更大的舞台，面对更多更专业的观众时，Sally再度惊慌失措，她并没有做好准备在这么多人面前自我暴露，不自觉地退回了初始状态，她改变了真实故事的走向，演出了自己从没有在前任面前说出的独立宣言，但这个宣言应该在她心里酝酿太久，未经彩排也一气呵成。

有趣的是，这种表达赢得了所有人的认可与拥戴，大概是现实生活中无能为力的时刻太多，人们才那么渴望在戏剧中看到令人振奋的反抗。

其实，Barry说得很对，Sally最终离开了前夫才是最重要的。离开这段婚姻她后能够在L.A.自力更生，并且并没有对新的亲密关系产生不适，足以说明她的复原能力。可能是希望与过去的自己彻底划清界限，她在两季尤其第二季表现出来的女性意非常强烈，比如虽然想要在演艺圈立足但拒绝与前经纪人发生工作以外的关系；比如她拒绝了著名制作人的“复仇黄片”；比如她在第七集的那段焦灼的独白。Sally始终对过去不够强大的自己耿耿于怀，可是没有被创伤击溃或被捷径诱惑，执着地想要等来一个自己真正喜欢作品的Sally，已经拥有了她所渴求的那种强大。

力荐！！！！！！

两天看完2季注册豆瓣来写影评

第一季看的有点想要弃剧，可能都是在铺垫吧情节没有那么紧凑，但是第二季真的是amazing！！

第二季情节特别特别紧凑

你一天内绝对全部看完！！！

重点是编剧的细心地耐心地铺线，做的一个个铺垫使整个剧既在情理之中又在意料之外，绝对是tug at your stringheart！！！！！！

从巴瑞身上我们可以看到很多人性的特点：巴瑞性格的变化，演员情绪的变化。。学习到很多东西：如何面对低谷，甚至如何演戏。。。

同样好的角色的四个特点：经典（阿Q），独特个性，性格复杂（子夜主人公吴荪蒲），性格发展变化（林冲）而这四个特点在BARRY中都有体现！

这真的是一部fucking，asshole television。It's so great.

在追剧的同时不只有玛丽苏，只有很浅显的人生逆转等一些很low的东西，这更是教会你如何面对困难，keep going.在面对后悔的事的时候也一样，昂首向前。看了之后你就能体会到，这部剧把杀人拿来当主人公后悔的事，也就是对于我们所有后悔的事的最大化夸张化的最大体现和比喻。最终教会我们如何面对后悔的事。

那些说什么弃剧，看不了的人。真的是一点没脑子看剧，您不配看剧。

巴瑞在刚开始说他没有人可以说以前的事

他在化妆间对莎莉说的那些说的那些话 少有的温柔真诚 对她也是对他自己

老师是真的爱钱哈哈哈哈哈哈 也很善良

莎莉的角色我很矛盾 她真的很努力尽量不去靠别人 但偶尔我又觉得她很婊 演员演得真好啊 泳池那段很真实 bill说派那段把我笑死了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

两位“父亲”对戏 老师说他真的很为巴瑞骄傲时 哇哦 演得好好啊两位 剧情好屌

期待第三季

这部美剧对我来说不好懂。相当的不符合主流思想。好好的走着主流美剧路线，动不动就歪一下要往坑里去。我也不是没看过日子越过越糟的片子，但这种一路奔向末日的走钢丝还真令人操心。

首先我就一直要为巴瑞操心，明明可以一条黑道大放异彩，非要洗心革面发展个人爱好，甚至想要洗刷自己安顿下来。但是犯过的罪不允许，身边的坏朋友也一直在拉扯。明明很适合干坏事，可是一直想做好人，结果一直在杀人。

因为主线有两条，黑道一条，戏剧学院一条，通常一部剧里只有一个主流价值观，看多了黑道奋斗，就不会想到普通人的生活，偏偏这部剧里还要不断用戏剧班上的人的台词来提醒巴瑞的黑道生活是多么惊世骇俗无法接受。

能把犯罪题材和戏剧培养题材融合在一起讲一个故事，已经是异想天开了，结果还结合得那么自然，那么有冲击力，有张力，佩服。

巴瑞这个男主，一开始给人的印象是木讷的，呆。接着变得活泼，积极。本来是理智冷静的，怎么又变得易怒冲动了。

巴瑞用戏剧里学到的东西去指导黑道的人生选择，不得不说这就是很哲学的了。他在老师那里受到启发，用来解决自己的难题。老师后来也有提到自己是心理咨询师的角色，因此巴瑞也是在不断的调整自己。

巴瑞有时候杀人下不去手，有时候却很痛快。人命到底不是本身具有令人震撼的价值，只有那些疼爱的重视的生命才有价值。不认识的人一条命都抵不上家里的一只鸡。世界的另一头一个伟人去世了，也不一定比家里的宠物死掉了更令人伤心。所以要看什么才是真正令人在乎的。

思绪很乱啊。

这部剧品质非常高，高在编剧，高在演员，高在很多地方。但它不会火，起码不像权游那么火，或者拿更相近的例子，不像嗜血法医那样火。 我想大概是那种真实感太强烈。那种幽默中透着诡异的感觉，反而突出了这种真实感，而巴瑞的人设注定是一个走向黑暗的结局，那些幽默点变成了戏剧性的悲凉。 想夸这剧的优点在于人物角色的塑造，barry,sally gene, fuches, noho，基本上笑点集中在noho身上，因为他真的好可爱。 barry在对待父亲角色上很难抗拒，这点在退役后被fuches带着杀人和接受gene指导演戏变成倾诉心事都能体现，另外他擅长杀人不代表他缺少人性，因为杀人技能被认可从而被集体接纳这恰恰说明他的人性，反社会人格并不在乎被接纳。 非常讽刺的是sally的反抗故事得到了人们认可，而她真实的软弱故事很难表现在大众面前，就算真的演，大众也可能因为这样真实的暴露而不适（这也是我认为为什么这部剧不会火的一个原因）。

我个人很喜欢gene这个角色，天然的导师，富有演戏的热情即使自己只能接路人排队的戏码也要演出两个版本，优雅自信幽默，但也感性温柔。会给人直接的批评帮助学生达到情绪，也会课后给他们演戏指导，一句话就能鼓励学生改变人生，但也视财如命，任何指导都算在账本里。他是个有缺点的好人。

相比fuches同样的father figure，就要难堪丑恶的多了，演员真的把那种装腔作势讨人厌的感觉演得太好，就是个混的，为了生存什么都干得出来，像是地下道里努力的老鼠。barry想脱离他就恼羞成怒陷害gene。

noho太可爱了，捡漏王，明明是个秃头，戴眼镜打电话为啥有种精英秘书的感觉。发型这事果然是看脸的。

I'm sorry, can we stop for a second? I just, I feel like I need to say something, Barry.

[Barry: okay.]

This piece that I'm doing for class, is exactly what I should be doing.

[Barry: yeah I know it's great, what you're doing is…]

I'm terrified, okay? Because my piece is real. It's not a character, it's me. Raw, unapologetic truth with a capital T. All caps, actually, I'm thinking like a writer now.

I mean this was stuff I couldn't even talk about without lying, and here I am about just stripped naked in front of a bunch of strangers and share something I am massively ashamed of. Not literally, I don't believe in nudity, unless it drives the story forward.

I am afraid they're gonna judge me and I'm afraid that Sam is gonna find out and do something crazy, but I have to do this. It's my story to tell. But then so many other women have the same story. What, am I the spokesperson for them now? Could I be the face of the movement? I mean, what if I get it wrong? I resent the fact that Nick can get up there and talk about his stomach condition and it's not like he has to be the poster boy for bulimia but I get up there whatever I say it's like… "what are we saying about women?" … I mean, this is just MY STORY. "But what if you get it wrong, Sally?" "I don't know, you can't get it wrong Sally." "But you cannot tell either Sally, because it's who you are." Which makes the thing that my agent sent me on today so fucking insulting. 'Payback Ladies'? It's just another shit male idea of what strong women are. Oh oh ohh grab a gun and in some stilettos and it's gonna god damn blowout, and look how strong you are now! Sally! It's bullshit! Which by the way so is this, this is quite possibly the worst thing I've ever read, but you wanna know the worst part? You wanna know what's really driving me fucking crazy? I'm so jealous that you're reading for this, I've never had a director session for a feature, which is the same thing as a movie, P.S.. And I have been doing this for way longer, and I think you'd agree that I am way better. I… MADE YOU. And I'm actually represented by Gersh--well at least I was, I don't even know whether they rep me anymore after what I said in there today but still at least I held my ground because I am an artist, okay, an artist… and this is not fucking arts! But then, I mean, to be honest of course I am so happy for you! I mean, of course I want you to get this part and I want to be the one to help you learn your lines and fix your inflections but I need you to know that if you do get it, it's gonna make me like, like a hundred times more insane. Okay? … [Gasp.] Continue!

I'm okay with the fact that Sally doesn't really love Barry, not even a bit. She just feeds off Barry's indecisiveness and uses him as a bandage to cover her wound from both Sam and every other embodiment of "toxic musculanity" in her life; her intention for Barry is the same as what she said about Emma Stone's agent, that she wanted him to be her agent so that she could dump him when she got big. And I love the writing of Sally's character so much just because of that. She and Barry never really had a benign relationship, so what's the point of resenting her for being a bitch to him? Sally aspires for ascending. Barry takes pains in order for descending from a god-like place (which he was himself both unaware of and didn't know how to utilize) to the every-person mundaneness that Sally would give anything to leave behind.

Bill Hader is an instantaneously likeable person; the creator's monster, Barry Berkman, however, is not. The real touchstone of Barry's character is his absolute lack of character despite of him having the most sensational events of life. Even his dreams are so itchingly dull and devoid of intellectual self-reflection that it makes him pitiful to watch. To me, that's what makes Barry Berkman as should-be-just-another-male-leading-role in today's show industry utterly fanscinating; once they gave him a sharp character as if he were some kind of Macbethian anti-hero, all the magic would be lost. Indeed, the Barry/Macbeth parallel was drawn in Season One, but it was done so unpretentiously that it added almost nothing to our protagonist's personality; rather, it only spoke of the similarity between his real life tragics and the theatrical tragedy. That Barry had to go through partially what Macbeth did does not readily make him a Macbeth-like character. He is more ambivalent and less archetypical than that. He is the one left-out possibility of being a murderer that hasn't been discussed and tried out exhaustively up till now in the movie industry because of its unexcitedness. Sally, uncaring and narcissistic as she is, has no reason to see through the hollowness of his personality and learn that her boyfriend has been going through some shitty, incubating tormants and plights. (Actually there is more reason for her not to see that since her ignorance is a part of the comedy.) The transcendence from absurdity to ridicule is totally sensible to me, and it's so funny the moment you realize that how unrelatable yet sympathetic Barry's character is whereas how relatable yet obnoxious Sally's character is and that they are placed in a distanced, intimate relationship, struggling to move in two opposite directions while being stuck together in one storyline.

Barry is the freaking monster, who, I'm gonna say that again, could have been a god as he used to took lives without reason, mercy or regret but he chose to descend down towards the earth. Instead of turning into a human, he was forced by his humanity to become a monster. Sally is the most of the human race, who have been dreamt of ascending up towards the sky for tens of thousands of years. But they will never make it, neither will she--their monstrous cruelty keeps them safely tied to the ground while mutilating each other as human members. How can I help but name calling Barry and Sally as two ungrateful pieces of shit? As in the end they are both about just being the same person in different positions and over different time frames, I guess the joke is on me.
