Modern Family season 1 episode 8--Great Expectations

http://imgur.com/k8rmoqz

這集一樣分三線進行，Phil 和 Claire 慶祝結婚紀念日，Phil 精心準備了一堆驚喜
但 Claire 只送了抱抱券，甚至還誤請 Phil 根本不認識的歌星來家裡表演；Jay 辦了孫
子們專屬的睡衣派對，Haley 想盡辦法要逃去朋友的派對；Cam 和 Mitch 決定暫時擺脫
奶爸生活，找瘋狂的朋友 Sal 聚聚。

這集我和男性朋友在討論時，最心有戚戚焉的部分就是 Phil 和 Claire 這一線了，
女生真的很容易覺得男生沒有需要什麼，但在他們內心想要的東西其實很多！每年交往紀
念日時，我總是拿出一張滿是心意的卡片，然後男朋友就會一一的變出各種驚喜，相比之
下我簡直太遜了，可是到了隔年紀念日時，我還是想不出要送對方什麼禮物，真的也曾經
像 Claire 一樣寫了幾張「不生氣券」給對方，我想這也是摩登家庭吸引人的地方，因為
觀眾們多少都可以在角色中找到自己的影子，不會心一笑也難！

§摩登家庭小趣聞：這集客串飾演 Sal 的 Elizabeth Banks 應該可以堪稱整部戲劇中知
名度最高的客串演員，她每次出現的部分我都很喜歡。Elizabeth 踏入戲劇圈的機緣相當
有趣，小時候因為在小聯盟打棒球（由7~10歲小朋友所組成的棒球聯盟）滑壘的時候腳骨
折，於是決定改成參加學校的戲劇表演，開啟她的演藝之路，想多瞭解她的朋友也可以看
看她的電影作品，除了知名的 Hunger Games 及 Pitch Perfect 系列，她也有出現在
2002 年的蜘蛛人電影呦～
