After Life: "What Does Man Live With?"

in hive-166960 •  5 years ago 

After Life is a Netflix TV series written and directed by British comedian Ricky Gervais himself. Hope and despair is a production that shifts between drama and comedy.
Since the end of February, most of us have closed to homes, and have watched TV series and movies. Now that we have got our freedom again, we repeat the same sentence. "Life goes on." After Life is also a series that focuses on this theme.

Ricky Gervais plays a character named Toni, who has just lost her husband in the drama. While his wife Lisa was receiving cancer treatment just before he died, he made videos to Toni for his next life. While Toni was once a cheerful, beloved by his surroundings, after Lisa's death, he turns into a difficult man with limited, limited, suicidal jokes. From time to time, we watch the old camera recordings taken by Toni's eyes, with a handheld camera, and once again we realize how the death of a loved one can change the character of a person who is left behind.

His friends and friends in his newspaper do not leave Toni alone, they try to be an arm wing to him, but it is not enough. Because Toni thinks that he is being unfair and asks the question asked by tens of artists at the 2009 Istanbul Biennial every day: What does one live with?
The stories in the series develop as Toni searches for an answer to this question. In doing so, Ricky Gervais takes advantage of the dark comedy style, using her usual style, with plenty of allusion. But he does it so that in a minute he can make raw laugh and cry. Although British black humor is used as a base, emotions are conveyed in a simple and deep style that is uncommon in British productions. The characters are reproaching in a plain, sincere way to life, crying and laughing.

Throughout the series, Toni meets interesting characters, shares their troubles, and as he talks to them, he finds more reasons to live. It may be an exaggeration to say that goodness saves the world, but it reminds us that everyone in this world is at least as big as us and none of us is special. In short, all the characters in After Life say, "What does man live with?" He gives his own answer to the question and shows us dozens of different colors of love. Without putting it in your eyes, slowly, squeezing and drowning in unnecessary drama and comedy. Between black and white, where we all stand ..

I loved this series. I watched the entire first season in one sitting and the 2nd in 2. Ricky is such a multi-faceted talent and this one made me misty eyed at more than one occasion. I like when a series or film can make me feel something, and Ricky is the new Robin Williams of the comedy role because he can nail dramatic performances as well.
