吉尔莫女孩：生命中的一年

Rory从纽约回到康涅狄格，回到她的小镇Stars Hollow。小镇上的人看到全镇最有出息的女孩Rory Gilmore回家啃老，对她说的第一句话总是：“Hey Rory! Welcome back." 这是吉尔莫家的优等生Rory在本季中作出的重大决定。她的采访对象Naomi临时起意想要Rory给自己执笔写回忆录。Rory小心翼翼伺候着，强忍Naomi乖张的个性和疯言疯语，还是被她无缘羞辱，写作合约也被解除。她日夜期盼终于等来了康泰纳仕的约稿电话，被塞了一篇”纽约排队文化“的无聊专题。她考虑再三，决定去一家草根网站应聘主笔，然而面试当天当场遭拒。 她32岁了，居无定所，失业破产。有个无法向家人交代的“男友”Logan———Logan已经订婚，未婚妻不是她。 毕业于耶鲁新闻系的Rory Gilmore回到了Stars Hollow。每当有人对她说“Hey Rory, welcome back…I knew she’d be back.”她会当场反驳：“No, I'm not back....NOT! BACK!...” 《吉尔莫女孩》的回归季围绕Rory人生中最失败的一年展开。翻看前几季Rory的表现，她是Stars Hollow的首席乖乖女，博闻强识，功课优秀。从高中开始念名校，大学念了耶鲁的新闻系，毕业后在纽约做记者。如果你是Rory这样的小镇青年，你应该知道踢开穷乡僻壤的唯一途径就是：念所重点大学，毕业后想法设法落脚在大城市。然后愿望达成，再也不用回到你那连一家星巴克都没有的老家。 不要对号入座，说的是剧情。Stars Hollow就是一个至今连星巴克都没有的小镇。镇上凡是想蹭网的人，都只能去Lorelai男友Luke的快餐店。Rory就是从这样一个小镇走出来的，她一路走到了纽约城。 跟每一个背景空白，靠一支笔拼前途的穷书生一样，过着不算富裕，也还说得过去的自由生活。可学生时代可炫耀的资本终究还有那么点确定性，自己活到城市里去拼则是另一回事。他们不知道你需要费尽多少口舌，求来多少推荐，才能得到纽约客某一期某一处毫不起眼的位置，他们同样不理解为了写报道而满世界飞的你，认为固定房产只是累赘的想法。他们只知道你如今32岁，无房无男人，连收入都断了。此时你耶鲁的一纸文凭仿佛成了全世界最大的笑话。就这样，很多年后一无所有的Rory Gilmore回家了，为了挽救即将停刊的Stars Hollow Gazette, 在镇上唯一的报馆当起编辑来。 回家后的Rory首先拒绝了母校Chilton中学的校长请她回校当老师的提议。“你是耶鲁新闻系同级生里文笔最好的Rory, 只要你去念完研究生，这里任何一门课随你教。“ ”Rory，你已经32岁了，你连一处稳定的住所都没有。你还在租房子吗？Gilmore家族的姑娘怎能漂泊无居？” Rory真是好样的啊，回家之后什么阵势都接住了。她坚定地跟校长表明她的态度———不打算继续读书，更不会来教书。她只需要一张桌子，她的电脑，她只需要写作。这是她的职业，不打算放弃，也没理由消磨自己谋生的本事。 让Rory更为迷惘懊恼的，还有很多年一直离不开又放不下的Logan。Logan究竟是怎样的存在呢？他体贴，懂你。你们聊国事风月，无不契合。你们成长的节奏一致，深知对方的软肋。重要的是，他还能暖被窝。他像是为你量身打造的一种存在，你总是垮掉和崩溃，而他的怀抱又永远为你敞开。 什么都好，他爱你，你也离不开他。你们在学生时代里相识相爱，在成人的世界里彼此相携。 什么都好。只不过，如今他要结婚了，新娘不是你。他永远不可能娶你这件事，你心知肚明。 Logan真像是落魄Rory最后一只漂亮的糖果盒子啊。人生至此，她的名媛外婆在忙着断舍离，可她却恨不得揪住生命中的每一棵稻草。她可再也没什么能丢的了，即使Logan因未婚妻的占有明明白白地向她表示没办法过多地陪着她，她不吵不闹，乖乖地退到第二顺位，安静地待在Stars Hollow，默默期待着他偶然的降临。 Rory对待Logan的态度虽说招恨却恨不起来。尤其是看着Rory拒绝了Logan以支持她写作为名赠送的湖边别墅——那一刻她终于咬着牙拒绝了Logan。纵观她与Logan的相处过程，对于他的好，她从来没狠下心来拒绝过。因为这种好太宝贵了，他们的相处时间也太宝贵了。可此刻人生跌至谷底的Rory终于领悟了这种馈赠的实质。说白了，他给你的只是他的施舍，你给他的，可远不止一整颗心，还有长久以来百般的精神依赖。你得逼自己戒。有些道理需趁早明白，你们之间已经是桌上堆的那一摞摞废稿，永无翻新篇章的可能了。正如她Rory Gilmore斩钉截铁向邻里街坊声明的：“Rory is N-O-T ‘BACK’.” 最后她也终于下定决心, 扔掉Logan给她的这份不健康的“好”。 至此，超级大loser Rory Gilmore成了本季最耀眼的吉尔莫女孩。她没有一句口号式振作宣言，比如再给GQ投多少篇稿子，再打多少个求职电话，再谈多少个出版合同。她只是为Stars Hollow Gazelle兢兢业业地做了两个季度的主编，帮助报纸起死回生。然后在跟Lorelai谈心的时候轻描淡写地说了一句：“我决定搬离布鲁克林，我已经在皇后区找到了新房子。那儿更清净，适合写作。 “还有，妈妈，这是我的新书提纲。”她说着，把GILMORE GIRLS的新故事递给了Lorelai。 态度潇洒，不卑不亢，令人动容。

不知道已经看了多少遍的经典剧。Gilmore Girls is my favourite TV series throughout the past decades. I've watched Friendsrepeatedly, it's easy to watch, funny to laugh, it's like a cup of hot chocolate in the cold winter making you feel safe and warm. Gilmore Girls is even better than that. The conversation is witty, fast, loquacious, satirical, full of pop culture and literature references. The cast is only the most good-looking, ingenious group of actors and actresses there ever is. And most importantly, it's a mother-daughter show happening in a small, appealing town called Stars Hollow in Connecticuit, the show revolves life stories of Lorelai Gilmore and Rory Gilmore (Lorelai Gilmore, the mother named her daughter after herself): their love lives, laughter, sorrows, significant life events, obsession with coffee, good music, books, pop cultures, witty verbal banters, and junk food.To me, Gilmore Girls is a classic. Amy Sherman-Palladino is my favourite screenwriter other than Aaron Sorkin (the screenwriter for The Social Network, The West Wing and The Newsroom). She has won Primetime Emmy Awards for another creation of hers- The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. She is one of the trailblazers in this industry- an extremely talented producer and screenwriter. She is the sort of role model for a lot of women who seek to pursue a similar career.

Spoiler alert! 剧透预警！！The story of Rory Gilmore is charming, inspiring, yet screams elitism. The mother and daughter are not materialistic at all, however, they are from a wealthy, white, middle-class American family. On one point, the whole story is based on Rory's academic studies in Chilton and Yale, life in Stars Hollow, Friday-night dinner in Hartford with her grandparents (who sponsored her private school tuition and college tuition- Christopher, Rory's father sponsored her for Yale as well, she also has a trust fund set up for her by her grandparents), and upcoming career challenges. Rory was initially studying at Stars Hollow High, where she met her first love- Dean Forrester. She later transferred to a private school- Chilton and studied diligently for her life goal- Harvard University. Somehow she ended up going to Yale. She is an intimidatingly smart, driven girl who knows what she wants in life.One of my favourite features of the show is definitely Rory's love life (I love her academic mind tremendously, I'm also nerdy and enjoy readings wholeheartedly). Dean, Jess, and Logan have shaped her perspectives on relationship. Dean is Rory's first love, he is the perfect boyfriend she could ever ask for. In Rory's own words, quote below:

It was a mutual love-at-first-sight. They fell in love quickly and became the"it" couple of the town. It was a shame that they went different directions, Rory has set Harvard as her goal since she was three, Dean was just a boy moved from Chicago with his family to Stars Hollow, he doesn't have a specific plan for life after high school. They were each other's sweetheart, but life was too cruel to make Dean realize that Rory belongs to a bigger world, he had to let her go eventually.Jess is so different from Dean. He is the bad guy that most teenage girls would fall for- good-looking, well-read, despises everything, etc. Rory and Jess have so much in common. He is smart enough to read all the books he can find, they can have conversations about books, music, cult movies, being defiant and reckless from time to time. Rory knows that she can relax and explore different sides of herself when she is with Jess. But Jess was emotionally unavailable for her in the end. He ran away from everything, he was being elusive about senior prom (Rory was really looking forward to attending prom with Jess), Rory had a bright future ahead of her, she moved on after the graduation trip to Europe with Lorelai.Logan and Rory did not start on the right foot- it was like Elizabeth and Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice for a short period of time. But it turns out that they are actually right for each other on every aspect. They went through ups and downs hand in hand.If it weren't for the job on Obama's presidential campaign, they really would end up together.This is just one great feature of the show, there is so much to watch, and it's definitely a classic among all those TV series in history.I highly recommend this show to anyone who loves classic TV series.Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!本文章的文字以及图片编排均为公众号作者即(NaAaTAaz)作者本人)原创。欢迎关注我，谢谢。https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=MzU2OTU0NzM3NQ==&mid=2247484022&idx=1&sn=5e2f6ebebf0d281081de1a330c014b5c&chksm=fcfc4d76cb8bc4602fb7bbcae046150928b87fead06b2aa03eede4faba00431ac06e0edf5d95&token=481518242&lang=zh_CN#rd
