I just watched the first few episodes of Our Forty Years. The first few actors are really good, and they also have the desire to keep chasing. I have high expectations for this play. I hope the story and acting will be better in the future, not to mention the bad ending.
People who have experienced the changes of the times often tell how they moved towards a new era. This drama restores the daily life in the hutong culture, recreates the antique TV set, and sits in the neighborhood in the yard, sometimes arguing and sometimes talking. Several children, Shawn Shaw, Xiao and Heizi, are playing around and can sing lyrics as soon as they open their mouths, but these trivial daily activities are very touching.
This kind of story, which is very short in parents' minds and has a sense of the times, is so real and funny that it cannot be separated from the actors' acting skills. When I was a child, several actors such as Dong, Dong, Dong and Jin acted really well. They appeared in many film and television works and felt like private soldiers. Li Dong took part in the wishful "Palace Love" and "Cold Life". Known as Han by the barrage, she has a pair of big eyes and a girlish feeling. Jin has participated in Tiger Mother, Cat Dad, Demon Hunting and so on. These wonderful performances have won us a lot of good reputation for the beginning of our forties. Adult actors include Jin, Biyun Chai and Li Mao, all of whom are powerful actors with good reputation.
The production of this drama is also very detailed, from the courtyard scene to the arrangement of people and things in every household, which is very chronological and very suitable for the role. The home of Sean, a cultural man, is full of books, lamps, clocks, radios and so on. , and the arrangement of the Feng family is even simpler. Colorful vases, lace tablecloths, photo frames on the walls and flower ropes on the braids of neighborhood committees are all characteristics of that era.
Such a well-made TV series, which brings together senior actors and young and middle-aged actors, is really worth watching.
