Thoughts on this movie

A very thought-provoking film, perfect for a critical essay :)

selfishness vs. responsibility

Allie is probably the most worthy of analysis on this topic. His selfishness is evident throughout, especially when he says "i'm here to work for you" and "i'm doing this for you".

Selfishness can make a person lose responsibility, because when the desire to accomplish something is too strong, he will sacrifice everything to achieve the goal, even the right to affect...

A Utopian Practice in American Fury

The mosquito coast cast was a powerful cast, including Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, and the untimely River Phoenix. The shooting time was 1986, when the River was still full of sunshine. And now, not only has River returned to heaven, but the movie has become so obscure that the Chinese subtitles cannot be found. . .

The story itself is not complicated, and Fox, the American inventor played by Harrison Ford, is a typical anger. He hated the rotten and depraved modern civilization, and...

Utopian paranoia

The protagonist, Allie Fox, despises Japan as a great American on the one hand, and the world together with the United States on the other. A world that has the mind of a scientist but wants to abandon this science and live in groups. He ridiculed Robinson for spending a lot of effort to return to the city from the deserted island, but he did not know that he returned from heaven to hell. Go to the most primitive and ancient starting point of the earth, use his superhuman scientific mind to...

from the new world

"You know what's the biggest crux of the 20th century, kid?" Harrison Ford's Eli asked his son Charlie (River Felix), but as before, before Charlie could answer, He has already given the answer, "I can't stand loneliness." At this time, he was taking his family to a small remote village in Honduras, trying to build a civilization that thrived on human wisdom. 1986's Mosquito Coast may be the most self-aware work of Peter Weir's Hollywood period, and the most complete failure of his film career,...

very complicated movie

The associations are as follows:
1. The metaphorical form reminds me of "Let the Bullets Fly".
2. The story mode reminds me of another director's movie "The Truman World", I don't remember where I saw a sentence: some directors have been making the same movie all their lives. Of course.
3. The ice machine uses steam, so I guessed it was a lithium bromide unit at first, and then I thought that steam drive can also drive a Freon compressor unit, haha.
4. The explosion of the...

How can I forget to mark this for more than four years. I'll always remember that afternoon watching River's face come alive on the screen, thinking about what his fiery soul was supposed to see, and then decided to leave for another city to see the Pacific Ocean. He was my inspiration. I will love him forever and Ever. "I will love you for a hundred centuries." So will you be me, one of the few...

Terrific fable. Making ice in the tropical jungle has almost become a motif. Who was the first to adopt it? Marquez? ? The paranoia and extremes in Allie's character are too weak; if the priest is not so facialized, it may be deeper and more complicated, but it may also strengthen the conflict of characters and weaken the presentation of...

very utopian...

It took me nearly ten years to come around. It's so hard to see you. Imagine you once had a family that had you experienced all kinds of hardships. Yet you love them with every fiber of your...

I admire the wife's ability to silently tolerate the crazy and absurd idea of ​​supporting the male protagonist...! The male protagonist is as paranoid as Trump... The male protagonist should just practice his idealism by himself, there is no need to drag his wife and children into the...
