Jack Goes Boating evaluation action

2022-01-22 08:04
The film does not have the elegance and romance in the usual love story, nor the intrigue of New York City in the Scorsese movie. The smooth shots show only the lives of ordinary people in modern metropolises. They ran for a living. They are anxious about emotions. These ordinary people with seven emotions and six desires lead the most ordinary lives. But they have dreams in their hearts, longing and longing for love. In this sense, the character Jack has become the endorsement of the lonely man in the city. The characteristics embodied in him, the clumsiness in interpersonal communication, the innocence and timidity when interacting with the opposite sex, and even the fragility and irritability when encountering setbacks, all make this character universal and symbolic. This kind of love from the low-level civilians that is closer to the original state of life is easier to touch the audience. Of course, in this Philip Seymour Hoffman's debut work, the mistakes that most new directors are likely to make can be found. But it is undeniable that Philip Seymour Hoffman has overall control over the film. At the end of the film, a pair of lovers cuddled and walked into the distance, while another pair of once-loving couple ended up splitting their ways. Life is complicated. Perhaps what can be done is to tolerate and love life, face up to the heart and feel the ups and downs in it. A debut work that makes the audience feel warm and is worthy of applause.

Jack Goes Boating quotes

  • Clyde: Let's smoke a toast.

  • Jack: This always happens.

    Clyde: What?

    Jack: Whenever there's anything good, it fucks up.

    Clyde: It fucked up, but it fucked up because *we* forgot.

    Jack: No, you fucked it up because you made a fucking toast!

    Clyde: Because I love you. We all love you. We forgot the food because you were being loved. That's the important thing to remember.
