21个犹太人的事实关于“朋友”你应该知道

朋友事实

让我们叫它“那个地方整个Mishpacha回来和你在一起“。

经过15年之久,Friends球迷们终于得到他们梦寐以求的全铸团圆插曲。上周,news broke这是一个“无题,即兴”团圆会在五月播出的新的流媒体服务HBO最大。

由于试验情节的首次亮相25(!)年前NBC,Friends已经巩固了自己作为有史以来最具标志性的情景喜剧之一。主演犹太演员丽莎·库卓和大卫·施维默 - 沿,当然,珍妮弗·安妮斯顿,柯特妮·考克斯,马修·佩里,和马特·勒布朗,所有的人几乎闻所未闻 - 该系列围绕在曼哈顿20多岁的年轻人绵密组。一炮打响,Friends偷了世界各地观众的心。

尽管他们不切实际的巨大公寓,并在中央咖啡馆的荒谬长的早餐,情景喜剧成功地绘制逃避现实的幻想与现实之间的细线。虽然很多情景喜剧已经取得了类似的成功水平 -Seinfeld,The Big Bang Theory- 人物的发展,它们的偏振个性(罗斯,自命不凡的一个;乔伊,哑之一;雷切尔的Jewish American Princess;钱德勒班级小丑;楠木,偏心之一;和Monica,类型-A)是具有长远来看观众什么共鸣。

而现在,最后一个highly预计一小时的团聚情节将由本·温斯顿,英国的犹太人被引导。它会舞台上24,被拍的非常相同的地方全部236分集的Friends整个10赛季的运行被摄制。

“脱稿”是电视产业jargon对于纪录片或现实的电视,并有关于该剧集至今缺乏细节。谁知道,如果有的话,燃烧的问题将迎刃而解。请问标志性的瑞秋·格林和长期的男友Ross Geller还在一起吗?什么来到乔伊昂尼的演艺事业吗?是莫妮卡·盖勒和她的丈夫钱德勒兵的孩子的朋友艾玛盖勒 - 格林?好奇之心想知道!

Friends由犹太创意的转换创造,但节目本身却羞于身体前倾犹太教。大卫项链和光明提阿星在整个赛季洒,但情景喜剧,尽管有犹太人的字符(低于更多!)不是现代犹太教的深或准确的写照闻名。

尽管它的不确定性,我们挖出了关于该系列犹太事实的主机。鉴于我们都花了,集体所有的时间,看Friends,收集这些犹太花絮在一起觉得我们可以做的最少。开始了:

1.让我们从犹太创作者开始,好吗?Executive producer Marta Fran Kauffman,谁拥有三个孩子与她的前任迈克尔·斯凯夫,在一个保守的犹太家庭在费城郊区长大。她去犹太夏令营,访问了以色列,并保持洁净长大。

在2011年的采访中,考夫曼告诉Jewish Telegraph她的母亲,多萝西 - 罗斯,从来没有告诉过她,她是多么的自豪她的成就的。“但我没有找到一个剪贴簿,她不停地说了剪报,从每一个曾经被上我做的文章。” Awww.肯定的话,大概是她不爱的语言。

2.考夫曼的共同创始人和布兰代斯大学从他们的日子现实生活中的朋友,David Crane,也提出了一个犹太家庭。

3。考夫曼的前妻,Michael Skloff,起到了作用太大了:他们分开之前,犹太音乐家组成的音乐标志性的Friends主题曲。

4.至于主题曲的歌词?这些被写Jewish lyricist Alta Sherral Willis,谁描述的“我将在那里为你”为“白的歌我写过。” The songwriter, artist, and art director (a multi-faceted woman!) is best known for the Earth, Wind & Fire hits “September” and “Boogie Wonderland.” (Sadly, Willis died in December 2019 at age 72.)

5.虽然虚构的人物罗斯·盖勒和他的妹妹莫妮卡是犹太人,因为是瑞秋·格林,考夫曼鹤与他们的宗教身份的强烈关联没有写的字。鉴于如此多的剧组成员都是犹太人,观察是一个奇怪的一个。

“当我们正在创造的节目,we were not thinking about Jewish characters”鹤告诉JWeekly.“在最初的角色故障,我们从来没有提及宗教。我们想搞笑,关怀,并与你投资的故事真实人物。但是很多的它与你施放演员做的事。”

6.尽管没有“思考犹太人字符,”Crane also said that in the writers’ room, which was about half Jewish, people told stories from their lives, which is how Ross’ Jewish background came about.“Ross emerged out of a room where a lot of people had a Jewish background,” Crane said.“So his Jewish plotline was probably informed by that.”

7.Speaking of Ross, the neurotic paleontologist people hate to love and love to hate, let’s talk about the Jewish actor who portrays him:David Schwimmer.The Jewish dad initially rejected the role of Ross because he wanted more theatre experience, but eventually became the first actor to be cast.Schwimmer’s acting debut was when he starred as the fairy godmother in a Jewish version of Cinderella at age 10.Adorably, his older sister’s name is Ellie.

8.Okay, back toRoss Geller, the most explicitly Jewish characteronFriendsFather to Ben Geller(portrayed by twins Dylan and Cole Sprouse) from his first marriage, and Emma Geller-Green, whom he co-parents with the girl-next-door Rachel Green, Ross maintained his Jewish identity throughoutFriends.In season three, Ross accidentally breaks a young girl’s leg after hitting her with a tennis racket.To make up for it, he sells Brown Bird cookies for her, including Hanukkah Menoreos.

9.Hanukkahmakes a second appearance In the seventh season.Ross intends to surprise his son Ben by dressing up as Santa Claus for Christmas, but without any costumes available he resorted to inventing Santa’s Tex-Mex friend:theHoliday Armadillo。Through the now iconic costume, Ross tells the story of Hanukkah, and the episode ends with a candle lighting ceremony.Fun!

10.The following season gave us a bigger glimpse into the Gellers’ Jewish lives.而 thwarting her brother’s plan to perform bagpipes at her wedding to Chandler, Monica reveals thatRoss performed a terrible rap at her bat mitzvah。It’s the thought that counts, right?(Well, to Monica, it didn’t.)

11。As forMonica’s Jewishness, we already know she had a bat mitzvah, but as the series progressed her Judaism became less overt.In one season she decorates a Christmas tree, and in season seven she searches for a Christian minister to officiate her wedding to Chandler.(I guess Ross wasn’t available to take the mic?)

12.In a peculiar episode where Ross gets a big ol’ crush on his cousin, Monica and Joey discusscircumcision。You see, a casting director explained to Joey that the role he was trying out for required the actor to be “authentically, anatomically not Jewish.” Confused, the director tried to explain: “an Italian Catholic immigrant at this time would not be…” to which Joey replied, “bar mitzvahed?”

13.Here’s another Hanukkah reference: In Phoebe’s iconic Christmas song, she includes a lyric for Monica:Monica,Monica, have a happy Hanukkah.

14.Our last Jewish character is Rachel Green, portrayed by America’s sweetheart, Jennifer Aniston.In the pilot episode, Rachel joins the Central Perk gang after fleeing her wedding to Barry Farber, a doctor.Rachel is the only Jewish character whose parents are both Jewish, but aside from aMagen David necklacethat makes a cameo in Season 3 and referring to her grandmother as herbubbe, the Jewish mom’s (remember she had a daughter, Emma, with Ross?) cultural identity comes mainly from her portrayal as a quintessential Jewish American Princess.

Raised in Long Island by her cold and wealthy Jewish parents, Sandra Green and Dr.Leonard Green, Rachel encompassed all the negative JAP stereotypes: teenage nose job;obsessed with shopping;doesn’t do laundry;orthodontist fiance.

Rachel Green’s Jewishness was highly contested, however, because her religion was never confirmed until 2011.“In our minds I guess she was Jewish,” Crane said.“You can’t create a character with the name ‘Rachel Green’ and not from the get-go make some character choices.”

15.Ross and Rachel are one of the most iconic TV couples, ever.Which makes them themost iconic Jewish TV couplethere ever was!

16.Chandler has a thing for Jewish girls, it seems.Before getting together with Monica, he went on a date with Aurora, a polyamorous formermember of the IDF.

17.One of Chandler’s most famous on-again off-again relationships was withJanice Hosenstein Litman Goralnik, the loud, curly-haired stereotypically Jewish womanknown for her loud catchphrase, “OH MY GAWD.” Raised in a secular Jewish household in Manhattan, Chandler’s annoying nasal ex was portrayed byMaggie Wheeler, who was raised in a secular Jewish home and now directs the Golden Bridge Community Choir in Los Angeles.

18.The eclecticPhoebe Buffet was portrayed by Jewish mom and actress Lisa Kudrow。Raised in a Jewish household in Los Angeles, Kudrow’s grandparents were Holocaust survivors and she had a bat mitzvah.Married to French advertising executive Michael Stern, Kudrow’s pregnancy with her son, Julian Murray Stern, was written into the fourth season ofFriends,when her character became a surrogate mother for her younger brother and carried his triplets.

19.After the series finale, Kauffman shared that herrabbi once stopped her in a parking lot to demand what became of Rachel and Ross’ relationship.Spoiler alert: Both Kauffman and Aniston think the couple — as well as their daughter, Emma — would all be intherapy.Very Jewish, if you ask us!

20.Friendswelcomed a host ofJewish celebrity guest starsover its 10 seasons, includingPaul Ruddas Phoebe’s boyfriend and husband;Hank Azaria as a Ladino-speaking Sephardic Jew who played Phoebe’s other boyfriend, David the scientist;Selma Blairas Chandler’s seductive co-worker;andWinona Ryder.

21.罗斯和莫妮卡的犹太父亲,杰克Geller?None other thanElliot Gould,who shares a son with his former wife,Barbra Streisand
