Girls who want to try more ways to live have probably bred a kind of "pension group imagination" in their hearts.
After the explosion of "Restart Life", many girls said, how can the screenwriter understand our imagination so well. Four gray-haired elderly women live in a high-tech nursing home together, sitting in a wheelchair that can "fly", chattering, gossiping, karaoke, and letting go of themselves.
Restart Life" and real time and space, "Restart Life" is, of course, still a world floating on the clouds. The women in it have utopian freedom – to fall in love, to get married, to give their voice back to themselves, and to be surrounded by family and friends who have never instilled any anxiety in them. If you don't want to be trapped by the world and be an urban elite in the big city, then you can live a bright and happy life when you return to your hometown and be a nursery worker who deals with little children every day.
Restart Life" For this reason, the screenwriter of "Restart Life" "Stupid Rhythm" (Hidechi Ascendano) was amazed by the audience over and over again because of the fact that his gender was male. Fans of the drama are surprised that in many TV series, women's professionalism is praised to the high ground, and popular narratives often like to tell about the transformation, madness, and revenge of the big heroine Today, it is he who has no experience in female identity to get women out of mainstream narrative anxiety.
Absurd Brain Cave King,
One of the screenwriters who knows the most about female friendship
During the New Year, Hidetoshi Morino's new work "Dinner for the Intruders" was broadcast. The heroines are still ordinary women he is good at depicting. They receive a salary that is just enough to live on, and they have no interest in talking about their ambitions.
This group of women, with a few like-minded friends of the same sex around them, catch up with each other's leisure time, get together for a drink and a meal, and talk about some gossip about acquaintances.
Akiko and Megumi Ogawa, who work at a housekeeping company, were originally just ordinary colleagues. One of them is a cleaner and the other is a cook, and they occasionally meet and work together at the same employer's house.
The company stipulates that no conversation is allowed during working hours, so the two will only talk a few words on the way to the station after work. In the story of Hidechi Ascendo, this is how the friendship between women often happens.
Dinner of the Intruders
They talk about life, about work, even if it's just small, inconspicuous things. Unlike some "female-oriented" scripts, women's conversations are shaped by habitual thinking and are always based on sexual relationships, and their topics are always able to look at their true feelings.
The two complained about the company's low salary and few benefits, not to mention the increase in the work of distributing leaflets to them for no reason, and the garbage house that other housekeeping companies refused to undertake, their company took care of it for the sake of performance.
They need to put in more labor and time to complete the chores in the "garbage house", but the president will not pay them half a cent more for this. The money went into the boss's pocket, but the dirty work was borne by the most basic personnel.
Dinner of the Intruders
In Japan, there is a portrait of poor women who are educated, married, and may have gone to work before marriage, but choose to return to their families after marriage, resulting in a long period of separation from social relations. Because of the lack of interpersonal relationships and vocational training, they cannot smoothly re-enter society after divorce, and can only do piecemeal jobs with relatively basic skills and unstable incomes.
Middle-aged, divorced Akiko and Megumi Ogawa are both among those who are trapped in the bottom profession. They live in small, cold bachelor apartments and eat fast food at discounts at convenience stores. And the president, who said that he "wants to be a working mother", privately brushed off the single mother who came to apply for the job on the grounds that "there are children who can't cooperate with the customer's time".
In the movie, he started a housekeeping company.
The president was interviewed by a TV station.
Embarrassed women can perceive the injustice that happens to them: they do not get a reasonable economic return for their labor and energy, while the president, who uses a mask to market himself, can rely on tax evasion and money cut out of employees' salaries to live in luxury houses, eat food, and travel around, creating a beautiful image of successful career women.
Many documentaries and reality films in Japan have talked in depth about the social differentiation of the bottom and poor groups. Compared to them, seriousness is not the kind of storytelling that Hidechi Nosano likes to adopt.
Before he became a screenwriter, Hidechi Nokano was already a famous comedian in Japan. In his narrative universe, the most important thing is nonsensical brains. The women he writes about are the kind of people who can sneak into the mansion and steal the 300 million yen tax that was hidden when the president is traveling abroad when he discovers that the president is evading taxes.
Dinner of the Intruders
Eichi Ascendo is good at using the absurd to deconstruct the shackles of reality. But the absurd is not his interest in the end, and his stories will always fall in the direction of simplicity.
A popular comment on Douban wrote: Who doesn't have a little evil thoughts, it is rare to have a friend who accompanies you to put it into practice. The farce ended, and the women didn't get the money. They still feel that they have "made a lot of money". They became friends who were able to enjoy dinner together. The time-consuming and laborious croquettes that I hate to make the most when I go to work are naturally and happily eaten by my friends. The cold room became warm and lively because of the gathering of people.
Dinner of the Intruders
They still talk about small and small topics, share unserious feelings, and express hesitation and hesitation. The reason why people need friendship is probably because they want to seek such support and care for each other.
Putting aside gender dysphoria, he wrote the Best Female Friendship Screenplay.
Many people praise Hidechi Nobuno for his precision in the daily life of women. Perhaps the important reason is that he doesn't have too many boundaries of gender norms in his mind.
In recent years, some studies of cultural phenomena have proposed the concept of "male friendship crisis". A friendship survey conducted by the American Life Survey Center (a nonprofit program of the American Enterprise Institute) found that more than half of American men were dissatisfied with their existing friendships.
A mental health study in the UK showed that 1 in 3 out of 2,000 men surveyed could not name a close friend.
People named it "Friendship Decline". According to various observations, the constraints of masculinity and the heroization of male friendship traditions have caused men who desire intimacy but encounter more resistance to expression to experience a worse "friendship decline".
Inside the Mask, sharing personal feelings and receiving emotional support in friendship is a "feminine" mentality that is not right for men
Growing up American, boys have been taught that to be a successful man, they need to have the following qualities: restraint, independence, and the ability to compete at the cost of crushing others. (The Economist published an article "Why American Men Are the Loneliest").
They become reluctant to be close to their friends of the same sex, reluctant to confront and express their emotions, and afraid that they will be labeled as sissy, immature or homosexual. "Instead of focusing on who they are, they start becoming obsessed with who they are not or who they can't be. (New York University psychology professor Niobi Way, Deep Secrets: Boys' Friendships and Relationship Crises).
Gender discipline is everywhere. But Hidechi Ascendo, who has had a happy face since he was a child and has realized defeat in the lofty ideal of "dominating the country" in a high school baseball game, may have long since given up this "masculinity" complex.
Hidechi Ascendo. The most vivid embodiment is his work "Overhead OL Diary", which reversed the female role and won the Japanese screenwriting industry award "Mukaida Kuniko Award".
In the play, he plays a female clerk who works in a bank, wears a skirt**, wears lip gloss, and uses a hair dryer to take care of her hair before going to work. In the face of the winter toilet, you must be mentally prepared before you can resolutely sit down.
The details of a woman's life were interpreted vividly by him, and he did not deliberately twist it. Netizens said that in just three seconds, they accepted the setting that he was a female white-collar worker.

Comedians want to be funny, and indeed they often have to lower their stature. Hidechi Kono's reversal is not just about playing another gender for the sake of being funny, shaking off certain stereotypical and offensive baggage. He lets go of the burden of his own gender temperament and tries to present the activities and states of women, seeking to resonate with people. In his comedy arena, he has been a variety of people, young and old.
If you understand Hidetoshi Nomino's own view of friendship, you may not be so surprised that he can always write such delicate, sincere, and everyday conversations with friends.
Hidechi Nosano participates in the first gear.
When I was in a funny variety show in Japan, I talked about my friendship.
After the broadcast of "Restart Life", many lines of the girlfriend quartet were circulated as golden sentences. In interviews, Hidetoshi Morino is often asked, why are you able to grasp women's daily conversations so accurately and vividly?
He replied, "It's just that from my own point of view, I have portrayed words that both women and men can understand and empathize." He and his male friends, like the main characters on TV, often meet without purpose, talk and spend time.
Under the long social norms of the sexes, friendship has been divided into different appearances between men and women. Men must treat each other with all sincerity, and women only know how to mourn and mourn. But the so-called tradition may only be a social construct that has been established and internalized. The dumb rhythm is obviously more in line with his true feelings.
His relationship with female friends is also rarely burdened with gender baggage. The argument that "there is no pure friendship between men and women" is probably also based on the notion that gender temperament must be distinct, and that there is only sexual attraction between men and women.
When I first came to Tokyo to work in the early years, because I had a good relationship with several female friends, we could always talk together, and we would drink coffee and afternoon tea together almost every day. The bank five-member group of "Overhead OL Diary" meet every year and have at least one barbecue.
Overhead OL Diary
The girls were happy to spend time with him. In the early years, the group of friends always joked that he was short, looked honest and honest, like a cute mascot. If you are still under the influence of ancient gender, you really can't laugh and laugh, say similar things to men, and demean "gender temperament".
As long as the unnecessary constraints of gender temperament are removed, genderless friendship and love may exist. Women and men can also chat together and play happily without worry, if we all know the jokes of Hidechi Nobuno.
