Friends?
Nice show?where to begin from????
First we take a look at the characters? and then... at the storyline and then at the mood
The first name that comes to my mind is?joey trippiani
Man!!!!!
Is
life really so carefree and fun??? This man seems to be on a vacation for life..with his ulti-cool attitude. Nothng in this whole world is ever a big deal for him?except..yup u guessed it right..being hungry..
He will even eat food from others plates or eat food fallen on the ground..
(he actually did it in one episode)
He is the one who brings a sense of calmness and the whole vibrancy in their lives?
He has the IQ of a hamster. But his ever cheerful attitude covers up for that fault of his.
And yes.. he has this unsatiable appetite for women..he thinks the only job worth recording is dating women and screwing them up..well he fantasises himself as a pretty good actor..( which in real life he is..) THE DAYS OF LIFE?his only rise to fame.(if that is what u wanna call it)
Phoebe buffey
Do u really want to know the heights of dumbness????the scene where she comes home to find her friends watchingf a sex flick acted by her Siamese twin sister ..(I don?t remember her name right now) she exclaims ?oh my god!!!1 what am I doing??
Meet miss lisa kudrow better known as ?the dumb blonde from friends?
Well?she also gave birth to triplets?.oh my god..if the show was going to be produced for another 10 seasons?.it would be unbearable with 3 more people having the IQ and wit of phoebe..or pheebs..but it would sure be fun..would those kids also do the ..twitching of nose and shaking head thing?? ( you have to watch it to understand what I am talking about)..
Chandler bing
Ahha.!!! What is he married into? a girl who is now soo skinny that we can actually see the green blue veins lining her throat when she screams??? And..the girl who was once soo plump..that her brother(david shwimmer) mistook her for a ?Rachel on a pile of clothes) and kissed her in the dark???
Well along the shows..chandler..plaed by matthew perry?has grown a lot..and I mean it?in the earlier seasons he was so thin that the clothes he wore seemed more like ?clothes hanging from a skeleton?(well I know that I exaggerated!!!)
And now..he is quite fat that it is remniscent of what his wife once was!!!
Well.. all that apart?his acting is par excellence.
Apart from miss aniston(I am talking about Rachel???.as if u didn?t know)?he is the one to have acted in the most number of movies..in Hollywood..his nice sentimental and caring attitude made monica fall for him..his nice chocolaty .. look worked in his benefit..and his stereotypical stretching of arms and saying ? aww my god? earns him a special place in the show..
Monica geller
The sweet sister of the dorky ross geller?well I already said a lot about the figures of miss geller in the intro for chandler..after all she is ?dharampatni..ardhangini? and hence should get half of the footage.
She is a neat freak..things have to be in a particular way in a particular fashion?
According to the trivia quiz that they played?.she has classified her towels into 11?oh yes 11 categories..!!!!!!! wow!! Should have lots of time on hand?but her character is soo sweet it makes me fall in love with her.
Witty, dominatin, sentimental, emotional, pretty faced, phsyced for cleanliness, loving, most mature among the 3 girls, are some qualities athat describe her?
Ross geller..
There are three words that describe him?dorky, nerdy and geeky..( all three mean the same)
Sample this?rachel asks him..what will u choose..?
Food or sex?? He says sex..
She asks ..what will you choose? Sex or dinosaurs? and he finds it difficult to answer?!!!
Ok..so that?s it for the cast?.
I know I forgot to write about Rachel?except for her sex appeal?she contributes nothing to the show?might as well pick up any damsel from a belgium movie and give her rachel?s role?Jennifer aniston scores zero on the acting part?and her character isn?t that great either?so let us skip her ?.
The storyline?
Every moment is a moment to be cherished..whether it is funny or emotional..that is the adage that the scriptwriter abides by?
There are moments when you can literally fall down from the couch laughing at ..mostly joey and sometimes phoebe and ross..
And there are moments (although very rare?.but hey!! The show is supposed to be comedy) when you will feel deeply touched and if u are the chandler types( emotional) will also shed a tear or two?( though that happens like in just one scene in say the whole season)?the episode where they play football and fight for the ?geller award??reminded me of the fun I had with my friends back in India?
But the point is?every emotion whether of fun or not..is dealt with so intricately!!!
Full cedits to the scriptwriter and the director?
Mood.
Set in the mid 90?s in the two apartments of downtown New York.
It captures the spirit of two siblings..ross geller and monica geller and their high skool buddies?chandler bing and Rachel respectively and their current roomies joey trippianni and phoebe?.
