路易不容易第三季

此集贴心，关于寂寞，存在主义小品，笑中有泪悲喜交织。

修理无眼布偶，技术含量高。怒叫：“Shit on my father's balls！”

请来Amy Poehler客串大姐，回敬Amy请Louie到Parks and Rec客串戆直警察叔叔。

Louie为寻扬子江飞到北京，终与村民同乐，生命如此随机，扬子江是否在京已不再重要。

《茉莉花》和《友谊地久天长》两首本是播到滥俗的歌，很神奇地，突然悠远起来。

当Louie从HBO来到FX，女儿长大了，从一个变成了两个，老婆变成了暧昧不清的情人，他自己也从一个loser晋级为一个高阶loser,原来的情景喜剧模式也摇身一变成更具个人风格的讲述与演绎交叉的模式，我不敢说这是一种首创，但至少让我耳目一新，风格的改变，无厘头的叙事也让主创的发挥更加随心所欲，每一个主题的展开也更加肆无忌惮。
如果你抱着看俊男美女的态度，我想这部剧不适合你，甚至你抱着轻松笑一笑的心态，这部剧也不一定适合你，你想找那种看一分钟就可以笑得肚子痛的料，还是出门左转看老友记，或者右转看摩登家庭。路易就是这样的剧，它可以让你笑，却不会让你笑得轻松，正如每一集那些单口相声，又有多少不熟谙美国民间文化的中国人能够完全听懂？
你发现到了这个年龄，还单着的，除了被剩下的，就是有点变态的，主动剩下的基本都是同性恋，其余那么一两个，基本也都是心理装着这辈子也忘不掉的人。当你发现那些比你年轻的屌丝们都可以不拿正眼瞧你，你还有多少理由去再爱一场？就算你知道谁是真的婊子，对着镜子中自己都不敢面对的衰老容颜还有什么信心与之对抗？当你鼓起勇气去一场很久没有的约会，却发现对那种场合早已生疏，不如回家烧两个菜看着女儿吃这样过新年来的实在。当你把“wave”听成“wait”，说明你内心对爱还残留期待，只是远处挥手的她注定不是对的人。你或许比那个流落街头的老友过的好那么一点，但你能做的也只是请他吃一顿饭，然后告诉他：女儿还在家等我，我得告辞了。当你满心欢喜认为事业有了转机多年的辛劳得偿所愿，走到最后才发现自己只不过是一枚棋子，平步青云这种事永远都是传说。
可是还好，你虽然一辈子赚的钱也不足以让自己和家人住上梦寐以求的别墅，但也不至于交不起节节高升的房租；你虽然没有爱自己的工作到爱不释手，但好歹还算熟能生巧有所擅长；你虽然无法奢望有个既懂你又爱你又能和你做爱的人一直陪你走到最后，但至少时不时有炮可打，毕竟尽管年龄见长身材走样，但也不算是劣等货色，时不时还有三两好友可以一起喝酒吐槽网上聊天互相诋毁，然后临了时说一句：bitch，我爱你。你没有愿景中那么自由，但偶尔也会疯狂一回，从脏衣服乱糟糟的家和一大堆垃圾食品里走出来，心血来潮的订一张打折的机票，靠着谷歌地图和陌生人的微笑度过一个偷来的假期。
是的，你还活着，你不对未来抱有太高的希望，但也不代表就因此放弃了生活的理想。Louie，就算你是一个loser，也是一个幸运的loser，我何尝不是呢。

简而言之：路易更关注演员是否合适，而不是肤色。另外，路易不希望演员太像他的前妻。

以下是一些报道和评论。

 Is this based on Louis C.K.'s real life?

Yes, it's very loosely based on his life and career.
Why is his ex-wife played by a black woman in the third season when his children are clearly white?

C.K. has stated that he is not concerned with continuity and will change characters at will to fit the episode's story. In previous episodes, Louie's ex-wife was played by a white actress but only her hands were visible. In response to this, C.K. said on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!": "If the character works for the show, I don't care about the race." He continued: "When a black woman tells you to get a job, its just... more"

In the first season, different actresses played Louie's mother and youngest daughter throughout the season. In the first season, Louie had a brother. But in the second season, he has two sisters and his brother is never mentioned. In one episode, his niece comes to stay with him for a seemingly extended period of time but is never seen again after that.

Louie is obviously a series that’s always been very experimental in regards to format, subject matter and casting. I won’t get too into that since people who are far more articulate than I am have said many more words on the topic. However, one thing that’s always struck me as odd is that while Louie’s ex-wife, played by actress Susan Kelechi Watson, is obviously African-American — Louie’s daughters, Jane and Lilly, are white.

And not just white, but fair-skinned, blonde haired Nordic-looking white. So what was the logic behind this? Business Insider spoke with Louie’s casting director, Gayle Keller on the subject, and she shed some light onto the decision:

    “We play around with ethnicities. Janet is African American, but both of their kids are white and Louie’s white so how does that work? Look, it probably doesn’t make sense but Louie wanted to cast someone to play his on-screen ex-wife who was unlike his real ex-wife,” casting director Gayle Keller tells Business Insider. “He didn’t want that much reality in this show.”

    “We auditioned people who were African American and white, we auditioned both,” explains Keller. “We didn’t limit ourselves to someone who was just Caucasian. Louis just felt that the woman who we cast [Watson] was best for the part and she happened to be African American and he didn’t care about that. He didn’t feel like he had to explain that in any way and have two Caucasian children and an African American wife.”

Keller also revealed why they made the decision to make Janet white in the season four flashback, saying that they auditioned actresses who were African American, Caucasian, and Asian. I actually did not even realize that was supposed to be Janet, and figured it was some other ex-wife that came before Janet, which is exactly why I don’t write think pieces on Louie.

    “Ethnicity is not what was important for that role,” says Keller. “It was more about the fact that we wanted someone who just understood the character immediately. All of the actors who come in to audition go on tape and they only get the material when they get to the audition. Everything is a cold reading because Louis likes when actors are not that prepared and forced to go with their instincts.”

Anyway, there you go, mystery solved. Louis CK doesn’t see race, you guys, he sees people. We’re basically all just a bunch of neanderthals for wondering in the first place.
