约翰·威尔逊的十万个怎么做

2022年劳动节期间北京天气好的离谱，与此同时，半个朝阳的小区实行封控，公共场所需持48h核酸阴性证明入内，全市禁止堂食。需要做好一旦出门，就再难找到合适落脚点的准备。

机缘巧合，居家看了这部实操性极差的生活指南，却算的上五一期间屈指可数欢乐时光，记一些会心一笑的画面。

"One of the main functions of small talk is to fill space with polite conversation, until you can be alone again. So make sure to only talk about stuff from your everyday life that anyone can relate to and forget about easily. You can talk about how nice the weather is, but just make sure that you never mention climate change.

Once you've escaped, you'll finally be alone. This way, you can avoid having a mild beef with anyone else. No sharing, no talking, no 'Let's do this again". Just you on your own terms, on your own time and in your own world. Because, remember, sharing your most intimate thoughts with someone can be a disturbing and messy experience. You're trusting them to take on the full weight of all your problems and handle them with care. Who knows what they'll do once they finally get home and begin to run the forensics on everything you said. Even though an intimate connection may look attractive out in the wild, don't forgeet the life of a relationship always seems to follow the same pattern. ”

S1E2

"Long ago, the island of Manhattan was a lush, green paradise. But ever since the Dutch came across the sea and colonised this unspoiled virgin island, New York has been a casualty to man's ravenous appetite for over-development. Once the original settlers tamed the bedrock, the only other direction to build was upwards, towards the heavens.

We cover ourselves in scaffolding all the time. Braces are scaffolding of the mouth. A cast can be a scaffold for the limbs. A brassiere is scaffolding for the breast. These things give us structure, support and protection. We even have scaffolding in our bodies, inside every cell.

It's really easy to settle for something you don't like. Because if you never admit you're unhappy with something, then you never have to change anything. Most of us don't speak up when we're dissatisfied, and then things just begin to accumulate until you can't really imagine an alternative. You could end a relationship that offers you nothing, or you can just stay in it indefinitely because it's too hard to move on.

You can waste your entire life playing it safe, but the real danger is never what you expect it to be. And if you put up too much scaffolding to protect yourself, you might just end up buried underneath it. But if we try real hard to take it down, piece by piece, eventually, one day, it'll all be gone. And only then will we know if it was all for show. It could be kind of scary at first, but we may be better off finding new ways to protect ourselves from all the uncertainties in the sky.”

S1E3

“The way the past exists in our head, is not always the way that we experienced it. And at the end of the day, there will always be distortions, as long as humans are responsible for remembering everything. So enjoy this fantasy while you can, because if you are having a bad day today, you can always remember it being better tomorrow.

几乎每集的开头都是Hey NewYork，那些若无旁人的自在路人，脏乱的地铁和街景，当然还有无处不在的脚手架，无不提醒你这里是纽约。但John Wilson的故事讲述却特别日式，微小，絮絮叨叨。日常得不会引起你的注意，但一提起却很有共鸣。

随便记几点随感。首先从整体风格而言：

1. 拍vlog是件很微妙的事儿。看似vlogger应该是“最懂生活”的一批人，但是就我自己的经历而言，拍vlog却会让你失去“生活”，进入一种“剧场”。人可能天然在“被观看”时会有隐藏自己的倾向，取而代之一种表演欲。作为拿着摄像机的人并不会好到哪去，会变成“导演”，脑海自动升腾出剧本，自我实现的预言。而不是一种自然状态的生活。因此在家具覆膜一集，室内设计师直视拿着摄像机的John，两个人之间其实是隔着胶片的。她对John说到，拿着摄像机时，你是一种抽离的状态。有的时候你可以放下摄像机，只要做John就好。
2. 这是本视觉化散文（《文化苦旅》预警），不得不感叹John是真的“视觉语言”大师。视觉和语言拆开来，他的旁白稿和画面简直完美衔接，让人忍俊不禁。印象特别深刻的是分摊餐费一集自说自话地抱怨不公平的分餐，配的镜头是偷拍的隔壁桌一个陷入沉思的小哥的表情，镜头长达至少三分钟，仿佛真的是小哥本人的OS。

其次从分集剧情来说：

1. 先说资源难找一点的脚手架和家具覆膜指南。这两集啊，禁得确实不冤枉，特别家具覆膜指南，毫无准备。这两集的主旨是相似的，出于保护目的的产物会让我们失去很多东西。危险本身无法避免，所有痕迹都是生活的证据。
2. 分摊餐费那集有太多偷拍餐桌的素材了，特别好笑。还有裁判协会的那一段。我觉得中国从来没有这种困扰，要么有人请客，要么完全AA，社会主义好。
3. 闲聊和记忆力增强两集稍微没什么印象。记忆力那集学会了新的术语“曼德拉现象”。
4. 最后一集，完美烩饭，谁能想到大结局居然如此正能量。疫情前后的对比居然就能把所有的分集主题串起来了。想到的事就要立即付诸行动，管他完美不完美。

看完莫名想到莫妮卡说的那句，“ Welcome to the real world . It ' s sucks . You ' re gonna love it .”

感觉作者完全沉浸式地参与着自己的生活，完全真诚而细腻的表达着自己的内心感受。在他的镜头下，无厘头的场景、稀奇古怪的人都那么可爱。只能感叹，有趣的生活是需要有趣的灵魂来发现的一﹣如果身边多几个这样的朋友，一定会很快乐吧！如果没有，那我希望自己能成为这样的人。

虽说是纪录片，但好像没什么逻辑，更像是 vlog ，碎碎念的分享。想起最近看到，说心理学家发现，一个人说的话若90％以上是废话，他就快乐。若废话不足50%，快乐感则不足。在交流中，没有太强目的性的语言，更容易让人亲近。所以，我们每天都在找"幸福"。幸福是什么呢？大概就是找到了一个愿意听你说废话的人吧。

我曾经写过一篇读后感《人间很可爱，且读梁实秋》，生活很有趣，那就看《十万个怎么做》该纪录片讲了有趣的曼德拉效应，还有发生在纽约脚手架的故事。

台词：历史记录与集体记忆不符的现象

你越去挖掘，越会发现不一样的东西。

要解决一些你不喜欢的事物其实很简单，因为，如果你绝不承认你对什么东西有不满，那，你就不需要做出改变。我们多数都不会在产生不满时声张，然后问题就会越来越多，最后，你也没法想到会有什么改观。你可以以结束一段让你一无所获的关系或者你干脆就赖在其中，再不出来，因为这实在太难过，翻不了片啦。

如果你建了太多的脚手架给自己，你终会埋葬于此，但如果我们尽我们所能，一点一点拆掉它，最后，全部都会消失的。

攀谈是社会的调和剂

而真正会攀谈的人，知道要怎样抑制那种表达，假装情绪稳定。

所有的关系会是同一个轨迹。

They’re just too busy and accupied about being typical.

每个人都很忙，沉迷于追随主流。

The world is full of people that need to get something off their chest

世界上到处都是需要倾诉的人

And even though if can be risky to open up

即使敞开心扉有一定的风险

it's worth it when you find the right person

但当你找到对的人 一切都值得

Otherwise, stuff will just keep building up

否则，情绪会不断地积累

and you need to sift out all that bad stuff once in a while

你需要时不时地筛出所有负面情绪扔掉它们

And then you’ll be in a better place.

之后你的境况就会有所好转

And once you take care of that,

一旦做到这一点

You’ll finally be able to return to a blissful world of small talk.

你就又能回到幸福的闲聊世界了
