皮囊第七季

预告片很好得误导了观众，竭力把大伙往成长与改变的路子上引，再加点煽情段落混淆视线，于是我觉得有必要在青春的脸上抽一巴掌，然后揭发一下皮囊这一整个系列意图教导大家的一个基本指导理论。

最初看Skins是被什么吸引了？“青春靓丽”的演员，“英式忧郁”的气质，别骗人了，明明就是发现里头的人到处乱搞，没事就露屁股觉得很刺激，然后就入坑了吧！
那我们就节省时间把目光聚焦到故事里几段重要的床戏上：

Effy操老板，害了Dom
Cassie操同事，害了Jokob
Cook操Charlie，害死了Emma，一家

而这种主角作死，炮灰陪葬的桥段在skins里也屡见不鲜
Cassie饿死，是因为Sid操Michelle
Tony被撞，是因为Michelle操Sid
Effy注射过量，是Tony作孽搞了Michelle高富帅蓝盆友的妹妹
Thomas暴走，因为Panda操Cook
Effy暴走，因为Freddie操Katie
Freddie暴走，因为Effy操Cook
Cook暴走，因为他可以操所有人
你以为搞拉就不折腾了么？
Naomi也害死过一夜情妹子，Emily操JJ
Fred被变态医生打死，Effy终于操到自己想操的人但是操太多操不下去了
皮三代里唯一清新可人的Grace，是被大脑充血的Franky婊害死的
Chris是片子里唯一操对人的，可惜他还是死了，为什么呢？因为编剧要破坏Cassie和Sid之间最后一丢丢可能性。

所以，勒紧裤腰，没事不要总是下半身先行，即使为了环保，也要少用几个套。可能再过几年都遇不到这么糟烂的剧本了，但又高度浓缩，一网打尽你能见到最纠结的性关系网，终于完成了普济世人的目的。
Skins是很多人的一个念想，因为我们大部分人都没敢那么疯过，但很遗憾的说，不是抱着必死的决心就不要尝试了，你看里头有一个是好下场的吗？没有吧？
加紧腿好好学习，早早上大学做个有用的人，另外还要记得远离给老板送逼的贱货，整天做白日梦的傻妞，和有前科还搞老板女人的惯犯。






最后还是要表达一下本人对于Cook大王的敬仰，不愧是skins中最有影帝气质的，眼神气场和结实的胸肌，都非常到位。而就事业发展和作品质量上也一直都证明我的眼光是不错滴。
相对而言，Effy和Cassie的进步就很微弱了，前者上一次闪光是在Robbie Williams的MV中客串高贵冷艳的Effy2.0，后者的highlight应该是Tim Burton的烂片Dark Shadow里一掠而过的嬉皮士小妞（不要和我说独立电影，一部都没看到怎么评论）

   五 年了来到第七季了，是该完结了么。
                                        
                                    第一集 “Fire"
 当看到Effy在办公室里一本正经的上班的时候，我噗嗤一下笑了，那个”嗑药少女“满嘴”FUCK“的女生会这样，但是细想一下，她是一个冷到骨子里的人，她知道自己要什么，她下了个决定就是，只想好好工作了。
但是她的欲望还是那么强烈，她意识到了这个年龄的欲望已经不是能靠迷幻药能解决的。她和他老板上床，非法获得信息来上位。得到她所谓的"钱”但是“钱”真的能解决所有问题了么，那为什么还是整晚不睡去"pub" 呢？不是已经妥协说，已经长大了么？最后还不是最好的朋友得癌症，在死亡面前，自己的那点欲望又算什么。

                                       第三集“PURE"
是的，我最爱的”cassie" 那个厌食症神经质女孩儿，就真的没人了解你的世界么？那个世界可正美，但是你又在逃避什么呢？“i just waiting something good things"但是真的美好的世界是靠等来的么？

你离开父母去伦敦端盘子，白天浑浑噩噩， 只有晚上才会变成你自己。但是这样逃避真的能解决问题么？

写的第一篇影评居然是这，关于这季的评价，多半不爽与失望。它没有按你们以为的那样去发展。它不会按你们以为的那样发展。因为你们根本以为不出它是什么样的。

 
你把它当部普通电视剧看，会觉得它多牛逼闪闪。你把它当一部牛逼的神剧看，它就是一电视剧而已。剧情脑残无聊到你了么？到底是不能忍受它的这么无聊平淡，还是不能忍受它的无聊平淡就像你自己的生活一样。不知道是要拍出多诡异奇特的剧情才能满足这帮看客。谁tmd都20多了还整天整天的荷尔蒙过剩激情燃烧。给你英剧不是美剧，你想看哪款的给你拍成哪款的 不管你咋yy 你看的就是它显示看的。作为一部收尾作品 它只要保留它的完整性 它不用给后作留卖点 也不用用新奇特来博眼球。这部显然就是拍给老观众看的。如果是新追剧的会觉得第七季风格突变，毫无道理。剧中演员都是时隔几年后回归。距最长的cassie已经隔了4年之久。所以这部没有跟前作衔接。很多人想用这部剧来怀念过去，可里面一点过去的影子都没有，没拍你们想要的结局。是让你看到一个几年后的人物状态。 这中间几年的留白新观众没有这样一个经历过程，不理解也就算了。不是我不失望，我是失望的是他们果然变的跟现实一样操蛋了。你越老你发现日子越过越没意思。我惊讶的是英国是社会医疗体制是有多好！一个20刚出头、无业青年得了癌症谁也不告诉自己一人抗着默默治疗！！！


这季更细节化，对于effy这样一个在skins算比较传奇的一个角色，最终季让她发生什么好像都显得不够，而且时间只有2集这么短。所以编剧干脆弱化剧情了。这两集台词很少，对手戏很少。前两集注重的人物内心的塑造，给了无数近景与特写，编剧没有编写一个完美的故事桥段，只用镜头记录一段变化过程而不是展现一个完美故事桥段。。effy为什么会爱上她的无能老板。二集里面至少不经意间有十几个镜头是effy偷偷在门缝看jack。effy入狱前也有不少提示。naomi看出来了，dom看出来了，前女上司看出来了，特别是某男同事mark，给足了镜头。特别是庆功宴上那几秒镜头。无比讽刺effy曾经如此冷静聪明。而effy对公司女好友和对dom的态度又跟以前对pandora和jj如出一辙。effy还是那个effy只是在没有当年的傲气，因为你在那帮老鸟眼中连个屁都不是。

非常喜欢dom，演员是以前演潜水艇的。喜欢演员也喜欢角色。更喜欢他最后骂effy那句bitch。这么多年，effy就是一被惯坏的即自私又幸运的bitch。习惯了身边的男人都跟她亲爹似的爱着他照顾她。 总算有人爱她但不骄纵她了。
Emily给了她一巴掌，算是帮Naomi一起打的。 naomi也越来越直白的表现出对effy的不满，“我爱Emily，我不能告诉她，我不指望你能理解。” “你活在自己幻想的世界里，那个世界还不怎么样。” “ - 我以为我迟到了。- 你是迟到了。”
naomi这条线才是传达skins的最终精神的，skins本来没什么精神，都是被后来赋予上的，skins的精神也就是它的感情。她们这对couple是所有人中唯一一对坚持到最后的。
然后无能老板也算是帮现实狠狠的扇了她一巴掌。宝贝，你只是被利用了，还顺带捎上了一个dominic。你没有很特别，你只是在关心你的人心里才是特别。年轻气盛的时候充满傲气，在自己圈子里面又显得那么优越。然后你会发现自己傻逼不是一两点。以她的性格到现在才碰见这么一个人渣，可以烧高香了。
现在effy终于可以学会部那么自私开始关心身边的人与事了，就算她只是因为愧疚和罪恶感。最后在去监狱的车上笑了，终于意识到自己才最可笑，以为能像当年一样轻松的叱咤风云，结果彻底傻逼了一把。也可能早想到有这么一天。终于松了口气。

还有那三个月房租，从第一集effy就担心naomi交不上房租，果然连续3个月都没交上。怪异文艺女naomi，没有像effy一样走进社会，继续在边缘圈子里混，说起三俗的单口相声，很受欢迎，但只是无报酬演出。好朋友得了癌症，为什么我还想着我那三个月房租，人死没办法，活人要吃饭，要付账单，要付房租 ，还要嗑药和party，我不能不想你欠我的那三个月房租。但我后来发达了，我升职加薪还给配了车。我带你住新房，租了一套冷冰冰，空荡荡，毫无人情味的现代化公寓。对与癌症病人，一个比医院还冷寂恐怖的地方。

 不知道英剧是咋做到如此乐而不淫 哀而不伤。死个人都能如此云淡风轻。虽然每2季必死一人 但死的毫不拖泥带水 一般撑不到2集就死了。

额外惊喜是这季摄影指导大概换人了。虽然不很懂 但这镜头运用明显大胆灵活多了，以前摄影美则美矣 力量不够。
这季的光影效果和镜头切换我都大爱。
最爱镜头就是这幕effy去公司总部开会，抬头那么一刹那。世界那么大，你最多也就这么一小点。你以为你渡过了灰暗苦涩的青春期之后发现 哇靠 外面才是一片黑暗。出来混的 果真是要还的。。

2集之内搞定从秋天第二年冬天，剧情发展干净利落（看衣着能看出2集内的四季变化）
这种火箭速度的剧情发展够韩剧拍上个小一百集了吧。够大陆拍出一部xxx升职记了吧

最后又是开放性结局，不过作为最终季改交代的也交代了，naomi死了，但有emily陪她。effy是喜欢dom的，不然不会白给2镜头她看dom工作，然后心情变好。虽然dom很像JJ但effy绝不会主动上JJ，她对dom的感情肯定不是像以前对JJ只把他当成一个爱慕者。就像之前她喜欢freddie，却是跟的cook滚床单。说不定effy出狱会把dom当成想freddie一样可以依靠的人。

在病床上跟naomi的对话总结了这2集，what else have we got? what we are going to do ?

吐槽一点，编剧把他们写的成熟的有些刻意，独立的吓人。还有天才effy的理解能力，dom仅用一个天台就让教会她金融界交易规则，搞笑了吧。这tm是补习数学吗

Effy the same, others the same. As skins season is back, the same somehow is and isn't the exact description giving the circumstances do change as they always are.

 

There's always an Effy and the other in one's hearts. This is one thing doesn't change. Effy sits quite deep in thought in the middle of a room of the wasted, indifferent, independent the Effy who is observant and insightful of nature of things, and always sides with the truthful ones: friends with Naomi of the justice, with Pandora of the innocent, when everyone shuns in one way or other JJ's honesty, Effy is the only one that embraced it and returned with the same. Now though grown up, Effy still Effy, accasionally rises in defence for poor dom, spitting fire to the mean malice forces. She always stands up in moment like that, moment that a rightful decision need to be made, and on behalf of others and herself, she always made it right. Or she thought she did, with so much convinction that bring us all on board.

 

The others around her are necessarily complimentary reflections of the multiple facets in the same person. It's no surprise Naomi's now in a bad shape because she stays who she was, after all she's never been the normal kind of smart anyway, she's smart the way Effy is, her judgment piercing through the essence of things, tearing off masks faked by Effy and Cook, and love for who they really are behind the walls, the vulnerable Effy and tender Cook. She even shares Effy's fear, fear for true love that would hurt and kill, therefore she cheats on Emily the same way Effy fucks Cook instead of Freddie. For the unmistakenable alikeness, no wonder she and effy becomes close.

 

Yet it is their distinction that sets them apart. One of unyielding, the other flexible. The real world tends to favor the latter and leave the former beaten down, as it turns out. I am not sure which one should be accounted more lucky though. Probably sharing my doubt, there is Effy struggling in deep water, shifting between dreams and reality, between crazy dancing floor and big bad world of work. The fancy dance sequence is just a form of ideas, not necessarily happened for real, given that it's highly unlikely that she would still have streighth to go clubbing after an exalting day of work. But we have to give it up for that gesture, a hint at where she came from and still wanna be. Same old Effy, still the same, never change. But the brilliant of the show is how the inside struggle is subtly concealed. Instead of the cliche of pouring out emotions to appeal to the audience, it only suggests to mass of a turmoil underneath a tip of iceburg that being shown. "No one breaks my heart" is what Effy used to say. Rather it could be rephrased: no one sees my heart's breaking. The girl who thinks she knows it all but at times gets herself in situations she couldn't possibly handle. And this time again, she's slipping into a sprialing down without forseeing it.

 

No matter how Effy's story ends, it is about time. Time to have an end. Those young crazy and rebelious kids, full of attitude and character, coming to age, face their ends. It's better to end them tragically. After all, skins is all about dark and twisted. What is more beautiful than the beauty being ruined. The ruined beauty lives forever. Effy Stonem and the other, under one's skins. My skins.

     说实话论我对skins的好感仅限于第一二季。
     作为一个忠实的弃剧者，skins的好感来源于我根本不想猜出来下一集的剧情发展会是怎么样。记得我们大一没有网络的时候寝室的四个人挤在一起看盗版碟上的skins，画质很渣但是我们还是看的津津有味。有些电视剧你会看见它的集数就果断弃之但是skins我只恨它为什么那么短，短到我刚开始喜欢sid它就不见了。
     这孩儿我想多唠叨两句，oh，sid，你第一季结尾那首wild world真是把我都唱化了，脏兮兮傻乎乎24小时顶着避孕套帽子的形象真的迷老娘啊就是喜欢这种典型的英国屌丝男啊为毛啊，可惜演了这部剧这孩儿就不知去向，你不去演个啥倒是去唱歌个也行啊那磁性的小声线简直了！！！！！！
      好，收回状态。
      其实skins一点都不淫荡好么，尤其是cassie，她一直给我的感觉都是pure的，而切是深深的pure。刚才看有个影评说这剧前后不太接，我倒不觉得可能也是我刚重看了一遍第一季，不然我铁定也把前面的剧情都忘了，cassie的爹是个自由画家，爹妈异常开放，如果没记错这剧第一次露点的就是她妈躺在沙发上让他爹画，cassie的小弟弟也还在襁褓中，编剧后来让cassie对拍她的那个小萌男说有个夏天她企图饿死她自己也是呼应前文的吧。好，继续回到淫荡这个词上。每个人都有生理需求，吃饭睡觉和性都是，我估计人喜欢回避性这话题好想应该是这玩应自己不好解决要他人协助，出现其他人就免不了出现背叛，这么一项基本欲求受限多不好，人得多难受，于是人性的弱点和灰暗面多数人就归功于了性，好多题材就都来源于此，skins就是把这个来的直接了点。不然我还真不太信上高中有男生不看黄片不撸管，说到这点我就想起几个月前去bilbili上看的一个叫关于紫薇的一切的视频，里面就问了好多大学生是否自慰这个问题，有个男童鞋坚决的否认了自己曾经有过，否认的相当坚决搞得看视频的我都为他捏了把汗。坦诚这东西就是比正经高了一个逼格。这点我很是赞同。skins讲的事肯定不会发生在我们身边，但是我们周围逛夜店聊陌陌的人也不少，人家英国有人家的方式，我们中国也有中国的方式，归根结底都差不多。但是人家拍出来就是skins咱拍出来就是小时代，我们除了泪目就只能咬牙切齿的说“哼，万恶的资本主义”。
       哼，万恶的资本主义赐我一个sid吧!

Effy's going to jail, Naomi's going to die, Emily's going to be even worse than death. Most of the viewer of the last episode of skins, cannot cope with tragic endings like that, including me at least for a while. For me, personally, it's not the death or prison that bothers the most, it is the non-dramatic way of telling almost nonchallently, of the most tragic ending that one can think of is happening right in front our eyes while pretend not a big deal of it. Instead of showing meanings to us, all is simply impled by. Those viewers seek for some kinda closure of the whole skins series aren't gonna get it, for there left so many lose ends; those who hope for drama aren't gonna get it, disappointed by its realistic telling of dramatic event and its anti-clamax of an ending; Those who expect twists and turns would surprise and flip at the extreme lack of it. Despite all that, we should decide to love it, after all that is the end we get in life.

The first thing needs to be clarified is that television becomes no less inferior than literature these days, at least for some good television shows like Skins, it is true. A fact we need to come to terms with. And as no sensible readers would curse the writer and demand him to rewrite an ending that he doesn't like, television is not an negotiation as well. For those who think it is, well you are so self-involved to hook on the delusion of it. That's the sole lie the life-shows nowadays are depending on you to believe, a conviction that the power's in your own hand. For Christ sake, what a convenient flattering that is! As sensible viewers, we see right through it, we accept what we got and try to appreciate the beauty of it.

After all, Skins fire. As the title suggests, it is about lights, destruction and rebirth. And a terrible beauty is born. Adulthood is such a terrible beauty. Especially for Effy, once aloof, indifferent, omniscient goodness in her little circle, washed by fire, and reborn into human. Of course, there's some sacrifice along the way. So walking out of paradise full of drugs, parties and hormones, here she is, taking three steps of becoming human as we know it.

Step one, compassion.
"I want to feel something, I want to be hurt! Come and hit me!" The girl ran into the middle of the street and exclaimed a death wish in front of world. That's near the ending of Effy's teenage years, almost the last we see her. Since then, apparently, the wish has come true. In fire, we see Effy's feeling, invisible as it always is, all over the place. The way she bites her finger nails watching Naomi on stage doing shitty comedy and being laughed at, the way she cries when being yielded at the truth of Naomi's illness, the way she goes blank hearing the doctor said the drug doesn't work and the way stares Naomi lying on the CT scan thereafter runs out of room, and the way she panics holding Naomi in her arms puking all over the place-- we never have seen Effy going through all levels of emotions before, not merely for herself, but for her best friend, for Naomi and Emily. With herself, she can be tough, takes it on her own: "I am fine", when Naomi asks she used three words as such to conclude it, even if she's not. Far from doing nothing, as Naomi accuses her to be, she's doing everything she could to hold it together, being tough for her, can't stop feeling for her but has to conceal it for her. That is not sth she told us, That's sth we sense. For those who love Naomi and Emily with such a bias to take in everything they say, myself included, might look beyond the surface and see they are blocked by own individuality as well. In fact, compassion is all Effy is in fire, "she has such big love inside of her, just needs to be let out, and the possibility to let out scares the hell of her" Effy's mom knows her nature well. Well, at least she smiles at the end, typical Effy smile, as if to say "you don't know me at all", or maybe this time, it says: "I can feel after all, i feel something". Compassion we know that is what makes us all human, and from the moment she feels it, Effy is no longer mysterious and inappoachable fairie, she is one of us, human.

Step two, mortality.
Naomi's death really provided an occasion for mourning, mourning for the beauty being tragically destroyed. It is sad, true. But it is sensible, as we consider it. After all it becomes a tradition of skins, to kill one favorite character at a time of generation. And for generation 2, Freddie is definitely not the most favorite one. It is the thing had between Naomi and Emily that makes the most wonderful thing that the make-believe world of skins had created for us. And let's face it, the most beautiful thing as it always, is irreplacable. There's no carnation for that, no reborn in it (as they are lesbians) therefore, it is immortal. This is the reason they can't survive the mortal world of adulthood. One of them has to be destroyed, and the other along with it. And as if killing our favorite couple isn't cruel enough, Effy needs to witness and learn from the tragic of all this, to see the only positive unyielding love that exists in her past world being worn out by an incurable disease of mankind. From the moment her best friend told her the illness, Effy knows it's gonna go down like this, she knows it too well, so she can't stand watching Naomi pretend like nothing and make fun of herself in a comedy, yet she complains in the most minute ways, pissing Naomi about the rent which essentially means the burden all weighs down on her- she needs to be the rock, and it's fucking hard. Neither can she offer comforts to her like innocent Dom, cause she knew it better, the truth hurts so much that she can't fathom a way to act it otherwise. Again, like I said, Mortality takes its toll, for Effy, it is the farewell paid to the old world of her past with Naomily in it, a burning ritual she has to experience descending to the world of works in her fantasy, a brave new world of men. And Naomily is the sacrifice, given that Homosexuality implies in literature a longing for death in itself. The poet and beauty must die, so the rest of us can keep on living.

Step three, helplessness.
At times we can't help but wonder why things always go terribly wrong with Effy, no matter how fucking together they all seem in the first glimpse! The onmiscent soul of this childhood circle stumbles way out of their idealistic small world and find she's merely a tool used by more onmiscent forces way sophisticated than she is. Helplessness is the condition of humanity. It breaks her charm, make her helpless. Emily says: "We idolized her." Cook's fucking Dad: "You are too pretty for your own good, that's why you destroy everything you touch." Such are the contrast between surface and core of Effy. Lights and destruction all sealed in one, waiting to be born. And in skins fire, it burst alive. It is interesting to note that in retrospect, everyone around Effy ends in various tragic ways: her parents separated, her brother got hit by a car, Freddie got killed and Cook went down for his revenge, and we thought Naomily is the only exception for they are special, how naive we are! There's a certain helpless gravity for tragic in Effy that makes her so appealing and at once so heartending. It almost seems nothing stays with her, under circumstances like that one almost certainly can't help but hold itself to blame. God knows how she serectly took the fault herself for all lost in life! In front of the mass of life, for the first time, we see her had no clue about what to do? It is Naomi in sick bed push some sense in her again, "Seriously what do we got, Effy? Well, I am going to die, what you gonna do? " That probably reminds her who she is and should be. After that, we see her picking up Emily at airport, possibly she called her up and reveal the truth as she should in the first place; then she made deal with victoria to tell on boss under sole condition that dom is untouched. She made the right choice eventually, as she used to be. Better late than never, taking responsibility for what she did like a fucking adult. It takes her edge off, which still makes me angry, not at her, but at the fucking real world of ours that rounded with such a flame in the first place. Yet the most helpless as it always was in Effy is the fact that she has to play the help all her life, which means no one helps Her, that she is truly THE most helpless one. That leads to off-putting love affair with her boss. But seriously cut her some slack, please. Leave aside the fact that boss is adulthood look-alike of Freddie, probably an unintended happy coincidence, she's lonely, and extremely so after a load of pressure landed on her, taking care of best friend mentally and financially, watchig them being happy and all that. What do we expect her to do, instead of cutting herself and going mental in the bathroom, isn't it much healthy distraction to find a man to love and entertain a little fantasy that somebody got her back? Dom and Boss, she picked the one who pays her rent, so that Naomi didn't have to. And that, for me, makes character of Eff, most lovable and lamentable beyond all.

The Effy who used to smile her mysterious smiles that says "you don't know me at all", still smiles at us in the end. Is it sort of mock or self mock? for many a thousand viewers shall this, her mock, mock out of their retardness after seeing all she went through still don't see who the hell she is; mock herself from dreaming our world to be hers therefore making effort to it; mock grown-ups down, and others yet ungotten and unborn that shall have cause to curse the city that bereaves her Eden and beloved from earth.

Skins fire comes to an end. The followings, in this order, comes pure and rise. It is interesting to note that in the trailor the order has been rearenged: it should be rise, fire, and pure. That is to say the actually serie begins in the medres, classic order of story telling. And it should be expected to return to rise in a circle, suggesting to a eternal reoccurrence of the proccess. Therefore, we have reasons to believe fire is the brutalest one, perhaps things would pick up tone a bit: in pure, it might smooth out a bit, going for depth; rise probably going to be full of struggles but worth it. But eventually, as the trailor so artisticaly hints at: three individual under one skin, going through phases, transforming into one another's life. Step by step, we walk out of ourself, into hers, into his then eventually back to our own skins. All change and changed utterly, a terrible beauty is born.
