A gunshot broke the tranquility of Wisteria Lane, and Mary, who was kind and had a happy family, committed suicide, thus revealing her friends with her vision.
The straightforward opening attracted me at once, and the lives of four middle-class housewives were laid out in the camera.
Susan: Because the husband had an affair with the female secretary, he lived with his lovely daughter after divorce. Her occupation is a children's illustrator, and her personality is like a little girl, but she often hurts others unintentionally. Naive and willful, even a little ignorant; Pursuing romance, longing for love, but often not knowing what you really want. There was a time when I even hated this role. She was impulsive, careless, neurotic, sensitive, immature and poor in handling. She seemed so stupid that her life seemed to be a mess forever. Even her excellent precocious daughter can't bear to say that she feels more like a mother taking care of an immature daughter. The marriage is broken, the economy is in financial difficulties, the daughter goes home with a child whose father is unknown, and the road of love with Mike is full of twists and turns. Susan has caused a lot of trouble. After going around, I finally followed my heart and held a touching wedding with Mike under the starry sky, where only my daughter participated, and took on all kinds of tests in life together.
At the end of the eighth season, Mike was unfortunately shot and died. I think the screenwriter was really cruel and took away the biggest focus and dependence of Susan's life. After grief, she finally chose to move out of Wisteria Lane with her daughter, son and grandson and start a new life. Susan, who is silly and naive, is the least shining of the four housewives, not the most beautiful, not the most capable and intelligent, but the one who pursues the simplest. I still have to say that Mike's death is really the biggest regret of the show.
Bree: a queen with a strong atmosphere, dignified and elegant, noble and beautiful, and perfection is the supreme pursuit of her life. Therefore, everything should be done according to the rules. Even if you want to kill someone the next second, you should pay attention to proper clothes and always smile just right. Her cooking skill is comparable to that of a chef, and the trimmed garden makes the old lady next door jealous and secretly destroy it, making it easy to hold a dinner party. Her husband is an attending physician, with a pair of children and a well-off family. All this is just what she wants: perfect!
It's a pity that under this perfection, her husband and children can't stand her for a long time, and all kinds of humiliation that makes her unspeakable are constantly staged. The husband has a special sexual addiction, and it is well known that he was arrested for soliciting prostitutes. His son turned out to be gay and his daughter is in a rebellious period. In order to save her marriage, she suppressed her inner disgust and forced herself to cater to her husband's sexual needs, and let her son talk with the priest to drive away the inner demons. Her daughter was unmarried and gave birth. She even pretended to be pregnant and gave birth to her grandson to save face, which was simply jaw-dropping and ridiculous. I still remember the plot that the strong and perfect Bree abandoned her son in despair. I especially like and sympathize with her. Her husband died and her children didn't understand her. She could only pin her heart on alcohol. I'm glad that Bree's second husband, Orson, appeared. This handsome gentleman hit it off with her, appreciated her strength, tolerated her paranoia, helped her find her son, repaired the relationship between mother and child, and accompanied her to play the drama of fake pregnancy. In the present words, he is a warm man, and it is a perfect match with Bree. Unfortunately, they didn't make it to the end.
Bree's tenacity and decisiveness were even more evident in the eighth season when dealing with Gaby's stepfather's body, just as she was determined to hide the truth that her son accidentally knocked down Carlos' mother. It can be said that Bree in the later period also has a strong and tenacious quality, and behind this strength and tenacity is not meaningless vanity and strength, but the acceptance and tolerance of life after the experience, and the re-examination and cognition of oneself. That's why Bree was so popular in the later period.
Gaby: My favorite housewife in the play. The biggest feature is: love beauty, love spending money. As a model, she pursues material things, yearns for upper-class life, craves pleasure and insists on dink to the end. Living in a luxurious villa, the main task is to dress up as a delicate doll and accompany her husband Carlos to various social occasions. She is selfish and can ignore the feelings of others for her own purposes; She longed for love, but her busy husband only used jewels and famous cars to send her away, so she seduced a handsome gardener who was only 17 years old. In order to cover up the fact of cheating, she did not hesitate to bribe the little girl next door. Seriously, Gaby's image at first seems to be nothing but beauty. With the development of the plot, I gradually fell in love with this cute little woman with many shortcomings.
Gaby is actually not confident in her heart. In the reminiscence, when she first moved to Ziteng Street, in order to blend in with the circle of housewives, she dressed herself up like jewels and came to the housewives' home with expensive snacks, intentionally or unintentionally showing off her experience as a model in new york, and talking about her pride, she laughed drily, making the housewives look at each other and feel embarrassed, and then alienated her. After returning home, Gaby looked lonely after soaking in the huge bathtub. Later, she summoned the courage to come to the door again, sincerely revealed her timidity and anxiety, and finally won their friendship.
She divorced and remarried her husband Carlos. At this time, Carlos had nothing and was blind, but she resolutely decided to suffer from him. She began to become a fat yellow-faced woman, sold expensive clothes, shoes and jewelry, and raised two Xiong Haizi who made her feel sad.
The most interesting plot is that Carlos' eyes finally got a chance to heal after five years of blindness, but Gaby was shocked. She trained the devil in the shortest time and kept fit. At the moment Carlos regained his sight, the first thing she saw was the stunner with stunning beauty and sexy figure five years ago.
I have a great love for Gaby, by going up one flight of stairs, a woman who is exquisite and capable. Who can not love her? Besides, she loves beauty and is still so beautiful.
Lynette: Lynette's role positioning is a bit like the strong mother we often see in domestic TV dramas. A company executive who manages a team of dozens of people quit his job to take care of the children and became a housewife in washing my hands to make the bridal soup. In the face of trivial housework and Xiong Haizi, she complains but still controls everything very strongly, but just because she is too tough, she wants to control everything, and she oppresses some weak husbands too much. Is it to prove her value and ability, or is she insecure? She wants to control everything more and more. The happy thing that the original family planned to travel, because of her strength, the whole family broke up in discord. Everything went wrong at home. When she ran into her former colleagues in the supermarket in a unkempt image, the glamorous and high-spirited person was enough to drown her in endless embarrassment and bitterness.
when the child grew up, she tried to return to the workplace, started a restaurant with her husband Tom, and learned that her husband had an illegitimate daughter, was suffering from cancer and struggled with the disease. Her son got into romantic debt outside, and her marriage with her husband once came to an end. I think those who were not strong enough would have been crushed by all this. However, she is Lynette, a fiery, indomitable, energetic, smart, decisive and brave woman. Her five children grew up healthily, and her husband finally returned to her. She returned to the workplace and became a powerful woman.
I have always loved beautiful and powerful women, whether in real life or in novels, movies and TV shows. The routine of shaping a strong woman in most domestic film and television dramas seems a little monotonous. At first, they were naive and entered the society with the purest and simplest expectations (in the case of costume dramas, it was the palace or the rivers and lakes). The bad guys played tricks on them, and life gave them the most cruel test. Accompanied by black and blue wounds, they became more and more brave, and finally reborn as a phoenix nirvana (sometimes we also call it blackening), invulnerable, began to fight back, and finally had a happy ending. Of course, as an audience, I still bought it, and I was hooked when I watched it, but that's all.
The housewives in Desperate Housewives are really not strong women. They are cowardly, selfish, impulsive, love to avoid problems, play tricks when they are in trouble, and give up on themselves when they are desperate. But at the same time, they are brave and enthusiastic about life, do anything for their friends and family, know to choose what they want most at critical moments, and accept their imperfect but true selves. Life is not a TV series. If the ending is too happy, it always seems unreal, but the truth is often ugly and unbearable. Do you choose to try your best to close them at the door with a tight door, or pretend that everything in your life is "perfect", or choose to look directly at them without fear and admit that they are a part of your life, and admit: yes, I am not perfect, I am not satisfied with everything, but the attitude of sticking to despair is always the most perfect.
finally, present a picture of the handsome men in this play!
