Modern Family season 1 episode 13--Fifteen Percent

我其實還蠻喜歡這的主軸 “Can people change?”從 Claire 願意嘗試學習 Phil
熱愛的複雜遙控器到Jay 因為自己的兒子出櫃而願意跟朋友談心事（雖然最後顯示只是誤
會一場），都完整說明了人是可以改變的，但改變的動力通常都是因為自己愛的人，才願
意做出改變，整體而言人改變的部分大概就只有15%吧！短短的一集用一些日常的故事回
歸到 Can people change? 這個核心，相當令人讚賞。這兩三年的摩登家庭其實跟第一季
給我的感覺還蠻不一樣的，雖然我還是照追不誤，但演員們感性旁白的片段少了許多，有
點可惜，感覺這幾季比較像是笑一笑，劇情不太能讓人反芻先關於親情的領悟，不知道大
家有這麼覺得嗎？

§摩登家庭小趣聞：
當初摩登家庭這齣影集一出來就獲得許多正面的迴響，造成了一些小轟動，這段影片是
2010年艾美獎頒獎典禮播放的一個特別片段，在談如何讓摩登家庭這齣劇變得更好，還
蠻有趣的！
