Ugly Betty


(Ugly Betty's Promo - 'Brighter, Bolder, Bettyer')

"Ugly Betty" is my newly found comedy-drama series. The series is an adaptation of the Colombian 'telenovela' Yo soy Betty, la fea ("I am Betty, the ugly one"). 有點類似"The Devils Wear Prada"的喜劇版。

Just as the title "Ugly Betty" suggests, Betty (starred by America Ferrera) is not a beautiful girl. Besides, she has a lot of problems to solve, like ordinary people do. 稍微不同的地方是,Betty偶然地進入了時尚雜誌社,開啟了她另類的冒險旅程。

大體上而言,這是令人開懷的一部影集。雖然免不了爾虞我詐的情節,但是每個人都壞的很自然,城府深的渾然天成,懷有心機是理所當然而且天經地義的~"~。角色間的對白有趣,Betty、Walter & Henry之間的關係微妙,看似無俚頭的劇情,也淡淡地描述出一些人生複雜難解的問題。

只是我每次看到飾演Wilhelmina SlaterVanessa Williams,都會不由自主地想起她所演唱的Colour of the Wind.

(因為很喜歡,還曾經很仔細地查了歌詞裡的單字,一句一句地了解歌詞的意境,when I was little...~"~...)
