Character Evaluation

The themes of Alexander Payne’s films have always been trivial family stories. From glimpses of people in the cup in "Sideways" to the land sales storm in "The Descendants", all they show are subtle family scenes and ordinary life. Emotional twists and turns .

Alexander Payne has his own responsibility for the perfection and maturity of the American independent film industry system. He drew up various practical problems from the discussion of marriage, family, career and life, but he did not take up a serious face to preach, but for all of them. The theme of encounter is infused with self-deprecating and humor . In addition, he is also good at paying special attention to the bitterness and joy of daily life, and the joys and sorrows of small people .

Alexander Payne's films not only pay attention to the complex human nature in daily life, but he is also good at incorporating sharp social irony into brisk comedies, creating vivid characters, and handling social issues lightly . At the same time, he uses the narrative style of "humorous light comedy" to neutralize these absurd, gloomy, painful and lost negative emotions. He seems to prefer to let the characters carry out comedic actions in the tragic dilemma, so that the audience can be in Face the impermanence of life in a humorous and even brisk story atmosphere. Moreover, his films are rarely devoted to constructing strong external drama conflicts, and writing people is more important than writing things. His films always let the audience remember those characters with unique personalities and survival situations .
