《了不起的麦瑟尔夫人》——一部温暖有趣的剧
蕾切尔·布罗斯纳安因主演喜剧《了不起的麦瑟尔夫人》获得了2018年度金球奖。
然而,有点讽刺的是,蕾切尔·布罗斯纳安说她一生中失去了很多演艺工作,理由是别人说她不搞笑。
蕾切尔说她最开始确实接受了这样的评价,但是现在她已经找到了自己的喜剧之路。
她说道:“现在我成了一个获奖的喜剧女演员,我觉得这很好笑。”
“那感觉很荒谬!在我大部分生活中,总是有人说我不搞笑。我失去了很多工作,因为人们总说:‘我们真的很喜欢她,可是她并不搞笑。’”
然而,蕾切尔承认她并不把这些拒绝放在心上,反而感谢那些批评她的人,因为他们使她更了解自己和自己的能力。
她说:“我并不是很清楚我多大程度上接受了‘我不搞笑’这个观点。通过参演这部剧和尝试塑造这个角色,我意识到我之前只是没有找到适合我的喜剧。”
《了不起的麦瑟尔夫人》是一部美国年代系列喜剧,由埃米·舍曼-帕拉迪诺和她的丈夫丹尼尔·帕拉迪诺创作。这个团队最出名的剧是《吉尔莫女孩》和《心舞》。在电视连续剧《了不起的麦瑟尔夫人》中,蕾切尔扮演米丽娅姆·米琪·麦瑟尔——一个犹太家庭主妇,她发现自己有表演脱口秀的天分。在舍曼-帕拉迪诺写的独白当中,米琪做了伟大的脱口秀演员所能做的事:她把个人的痛苦和困惑转化成真正的滑稽表演。这部连续剧的成功之处在于它向我们展示了她是如何将自己的生活变成极好的原创材料的。
这部连续剧在亚马逊视频流媒体上线后获奖无数。
真题展示
[河南洛阳2023高二期中] Laughter is our universal language in many ways.Humans love to laugh, and it's good that we do so, because laughing can reduce stress, improve our immune system and relieve pain.
Jeannette Sanger, a laughter yoga instructor from New York, experienced the latter benefit last summer.She was cooking when a pot of boiling water overflowed and hurt her leg.“It was painful,” she said, but she forced herself to use her own skills as medicine and tried laughing to reduce the pain.“As my husband drove me to the nearest hospital, I was sitting in the back seat laughing,” Sanger told The Huffington Post.“It successfully stopped me from giving my attention to the pain.”
Even forced laughter like Sanger's can have a great effect on the body, according to Dr.Madan Kataria, a medical doctor from India who developed laughter yoga, a practice that draws on the breathing exercises of yoga to produce therapeutic (有疗效的) results.The doctor was researching for an article entitled “Laughter—The Best Medicine” when he made the surprising discovery that both forced and sincere laughter can affect our health.
In 2014, researchers at California's Loma Linda University found that older adults who watch funny videos show improvement in their powers of recall and show lower stress levels.Another study at the University of Maryland Medical Center found that people who laugh more and have a sense of humour are less likely to get heart disease.
“Laughing is a way of learning how to play again,” Sanger said.Sanger's classes start out with simple breathing and movement activities.“Motion creates emotion,” she said.
