“This is the street I used to live on, and this is the friend I used to spend time with. I met them on the day they moved in, and I witnessed them coming with loads of goods. A vision of a better future, not just for themselves, but for their children. Should I tell them what lies ahead? No, Standing in this position, I know the way to go. The secret is to keep moving forward and drive away the fears and regrets that slow us down and prevent us from enjoying this pleasant and short journey. Yes, there will always be unexpected things ahead. "Desperate Housewives" uses the most simple and vivid language to ignore most people in life, but that is the most important thing, isn't it? The truth is told eloquently, and it can be said to be one of the most worth-watching American dramas. In fact, I didn't stick with this show the first time I watched it. Maybe I was too naive and ignorant at the time to appreciate the depth of it. Four women, four families, so many stories, so much beauty, so much despair.
Susan is a Mary Sue, silly and sweet. Sometimes she is innocent and cute, but sometimes she feels extremely stupid. My feelings towards her always change as the series progresses, sometimes I like her and sometimes I hate her. I think she has a very persistent side. Once she is determined, she will not change easily. She has her own principles. She also has a side that dares to laugh and cry and never hides it. This is probably why she is called the most alive among all people. A reason for being comfortable and unrestrained.
Gaby has unparalleled beauty, but I really didn’t appreciate this character in the initial plot. She was selfish, had all kinds of little thoughts, and was just a scheming girl. But as we watch later, we can see more and more how sincere and loving she is to her friends. No matter how bad she does to others, she will always support her friends without hesitation. It is a wonderful and happy thing to have such a friend, and I am also lucky.
Lynette is mature, generous, decisive and resolute, and is a queen no matter where she is. Especially when she said, "Only those who are weak-willed need religion as spiritual sustenance," she seemed to be enveloped in a glow. She seems to be the most perfect housewife of all, she has a career and a family, but in fact her husband also betrayed her. All the sacrifices of a strong woman like a queen did not get the rewards she deserved. What she sacrificed in exchange was her husband's laziness, selfishness, mediocrity and betrayal, which was not worth it at all.
But what I admire the most is Bree, so forbearing and strong, calm and calm in everything. In order to maintain her perfect marriage, she cannot be at a disadvantage. In order to control the strong man, she even hides her truest emotions, just to be the always bright and spotless Bree in the eyes of others and herself.
But it was made clear at the beginning of the first season that her marriage broke down because of her husband's cheating. Her perfectionism and extraordinary rationality caused her to constantly cover up the real problems in her heart. Since her mother passed away since she was a child, she bravely picked up a water gun to wash away the blood on the road to cover up this painful fact. The unresolved trauma always made her run away from everything, and her inability to express her true emotions destroyed her life to a great extent, but she did not give up pursuing a better self because of this. Every time I saw her crying, I saw the fear in her eyes, but no one could give her comfort. These emotions always come out when no one is around because she has become accustomed to wearing a mask to protect herself.
In the play, she plays the role of protector all the time, subverting herself and being the protector of herself and her friends. The courage to recognize reality but never give up is rare in reality. Especially when she ended Gaby's father's life with one shot, it wasn't scary at all, but was so sacred because she was protecting Gaby. Everyone knows that only by defeating yourself can you make a breakthrough, change your inner self, let go of the past, and let yourself go to face a new life again. This is not a simple matter, but the reality requires everyone to face the reality clearly and constantly strive to become a better version of themselves.
If you know that the future will be bright, then why not make the process more difficult? It's a pity that life doesn't always have such a happy ending. More housewives just continue to live a difficult life in loss, depression, unhappiness, humility or despair. Goodbye, Desperate Housewives.
