Anyone who has watched Friends knows that many storylines revolve around Ross and Rachel. The ten years of separation and reunion occupy a long plot of Friends. At first, I thought the two of them were completely incompatible. One was a beautiful and willful little princess from the rich second generation, and the other was a nerdy doctor of paleontology. Throughout the ten seasons, Ross met women more than once who might be more suitable for him than Rachel, whether it was Julie, an Asian girl who is also a paleontologist, or Emily from London, who he fell in love with, and there are many more that I can’t remember. Live supporting role. But just like the saying "the order of appearance in life is important", from the moment Ross met Rachel as a teenager, she was destined to be his "lobster", and he happened to be allergic to lobster. The kiss of love at the door of the cafe is still a classic in my heart.
And Rachel also loves Ross, but why did it take them ten years to achieve perfection? Of course, it's not the screenwriter's intention to make up the ten-season plot, but it's determined by the characters' personalities and experiences. Compared to Monica and Chandler, Ross and Rachel are more like two children in their relationship than mature lovers. Both Ross and Rachel are good at duplicity in expressing that they don't love each other, but they show they care about each other in every little expression and movement. That's why there are so many plots that make the audience anxious but the characters in the play still advance and retreat. Ross went on a business trip to China without getting a response after expressing his feelings. Rachel found that she also loved Ross deeply. The day Ross came back, she ran to the airport to wait for him. But the frustrated Ross met Julie in China. Rachel was dressed beautifully, holding flowers in her hands and looking at the exit, her eyes shining, but what she waited for was Ross coming out with Julie on his arm. But our tsundere princess Rachel will never admit that she is a lost soul. She pretended to bless Ross for starting a new relationship, but was secretly unhappy that Julie was starting to win the favor of other friends. When Ross was having a hard time deciding between Rachel and Julie, two unreliable men, Joey and Chandler, said how about you make a table to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two. Ross actually did it.
"Rachel has N disadvantages. She has a bad temper. She cares too much about her appearance. She is just a waitress. Julie has advantages. She is a paleontologist like me. We have* **Same topic, disadvantage, she is not Rachel."
But Mr. Chandler mistyped Rachel's name and changed it to Ricky. Most dramatically, Rachel discovered the form. Ross doesn't understand Rachel, Ross doesn't even understand women. Someone I cared about was comparing me to other people. And Rachel gave up her carefree life and came to New York to start an independent life as a waitress in a cafe. In the eyes of her beloved Ross, "she is just a waitress."
Later we finally got together and had the sweetest second season among the ten seasons. But the good times didn't last long. With Mark's help, Rachel entered the department store to work and slowly got back on track with her work. The sensitive and suspicious Rose naturally regards Mark as his most competitive love rival. On the first anniversary, it happened that Rachel had to work overtime, and Ross brought a bunch of food, red wine, and even a small choir to perform a farce. Ross ruined Rachel's job, and Rachel ruined Ross's beautiful plans for the anniversary. The two started to quarrel and had a cold war, and a friend came to enlighten her. Ross decided to apologize to Rachel, but when he heard Mark's voice on the phone, he suddenly became jealous and had a big quarrel. Disappointed Rachel proposed breaking up, and Ross agreed. Just like when women break up in reality, they often don't really want to break up, but they throw a fireworks signal to the men when they face conflicts that they have to resolve but don't know how to deal with. Losing his mind, Ross went to a striptease bar with Joey and had a one-night stand with a girl from a photocopy shop. This is the turning point of the whole play. When Rachel realizes that she shouldn't break up easily and decides to reconcile, she awkwardly discovers Ross's one-night stand. And Ross said the most classic line in the whole drama, "we are on a break!" It explores the different attitudes of men and women towards love. The breakup that women think of is not the moment of breaking up, but the beginning of the other party. From the moment of new love to the time when you really let go of your feelings. And what men think of breaking up is from the moment they break up.
After seven years of separation and reunion, when we reconciled at the beach, Rachel said you were fully responsible for our breakup, Ross said "we are on a break", and then there was another big fight. One ended. When Ross and Emily got married in London, they struggled with whether to attend his wedding. Rachel was ready to snatch the wedding, but when she saw the happy faces of her sweetheart and his sweetheart standing in front of the priest, she was filled with words. The only word on his lips was "congratulations." After getting drunk in Las Vegas, the two ran to a church to get married, and then Rose used various lame excuses to delay the divorce. Later, Rachel was unexpectedly pregnant, and Ross was considerate before and after running, and they argued over the name. Rachel lost her job with Ralph Lauren and unexpectedly got Mark's help. After receiving a job offer from LV, Ross was reluctant to leave Rachel and went to find her boss alone to plead for mercy.
In that section, because the boss's son likes dinosaurs, Ross first agreed to the special treatment of the little boy going to the museum, and then sent a replica of a dinosaur egg. He heard Rachel questioning the mystery of the replica of a dinosaur skull that was lost and put away after going to Paris. expression. On the eve of going to Paris, they do it. They still feel so suitable for each other, and even have a better understanding. Ross even thought Rachel wanted to stay. But when I woke up the next day, I saw that Rachel had packed everything. Rachel said goodbye to everyone alone that day, except Ross. Ross went from arrogantly complaining that she made everyone's eyes red to watching Rachel leave without saying a word and feeling baffled. He found Rachel and without waiting for Rachel to say a word, he said a bunch of angry words like "You don't care about me" and walked away. Rachel found Ross and told him the reason why she didn't say goodbye to him.
You are the person I care about most, but you don’t understand me at all. Over the years, who is my best friend, the one who cares about me the most, who has been married to me, had children with me, and been separated from me, the person I am most reluctant to say goodbye to. If I say goodbye to you, I'm afraid I won't want to leave. But I still had to go, that was the job I longed for.
Our Rachel has really grown up. She is no longer the 25-year-old willful girl who ran away from marriage ten years ago. In the past ten years, she has grown from a waitress to her own destiny step by step. My dream is getting closer, I have worked as an assistant, a salesperson, a clothing purchasing consultant, I have my own office, I have become a department manager, and I have grown into a working woman in the fashion career I love. Paris held an irresistible magic for her.
So she chose not to say goodbye, which was the most special farewell. Pretend not to care, to cover up your extreme entanglement and reluctance. I thought Ross would understand and have a tacit understanding. But the funniest thing is that when Ross got angry, Rachel explained and they talked so clearly that they just burst into tears. How much does Rachel, who is pretending to be cool, hope Ross can break her little mind? So people in love should not pretend to be free and easy. Just cry and make trouble when you need to. A rational person may show that this person is really capable of letting go in the eyes of everyone. But anyone who really falls in love in this relationship cannot do it if they are rational and calm.
Of course, among people who fall in love in the end, some people will always choose to compromise. Ross finally discovered that Rachel was the one in his life. This relationship exhausted him and made him go through ups and downs, countless fights, misunderstandings, conflicts, jealousy, and jealousy. But she was his lobster, and no one could replace her. In the last episode, Ross, who was riding Phoebe's thrilling car speed, caught up with Rachel before getting on the plane.
Don’t leave, don’t go to Paris, I love you, I love you, I want you to stay, we will always be together.
I love you too, but I have to go. She got on the plane.
A disappointed Ross sat on the sofa and listened to Rachel's phone message. But I heard Rachel saying to the stewardess, I want to get off the plane, please let me get off.
The moment they opened the door, they hugged tightly and said, we will never be separated again. The background music is sprinkled with sugar, which happens to be the one from Cafe Kiss.
They really have a lot of differences, but they are a perfect match. For example, Rachel liked Ross's serious talk about science. Other friends thought he was very nerdy, but she listened intently. For example, other people disliked Ross stuffing his mouth with chopsticks in COS Mammoth, but Rachel thought it was cute. Ross once deliberately lost to Rachel in a poker game. Ross originally had an important meeting, but Rachel injured her leg and went to see a doctor with her. They sing cheesy "big ass songs" to their daughter Emma. There are so many more, thank you to the screenwriter for contributing such a long and non-monotonous story for ten years. They are very life-oriented people, they love, hate, and rejoice in their enemies.
