"Bad Boy Blake" drove lonely to a bowling alley in Pueblo to perform, very humiliating and unwilling. A generation of country singers has fallen into this situation because of individuality (individuality is destiny). A strong personality, stubborn and unyielding, he would rather fall back on his head than bow his head.
Even if the bad boy is reduced to the bottom line of the bowling alley, his integrity is still-"Ill, drunk, divorced, have performed in various situations, but I have never missed a damn performance." In the ninth minute, the film reveals the characteristics of the bad boy-frustrated by all kinds of ridiculous vulgarity, but not spiritually broken, and conviction exists. It seems like a tough guy in Hemingway's pen. The audience realized that Huluoping Pingyang is a tiger after all, and he is not a bad person in his bones if he smokes and drinks.
Early in the morning, Beverly of ███ was still immersed in her sleep, and the bad boy was about to leave. He gently opened the door, highlighting the respect for the lady (small details that are difficult for ordinary wolves to pay attention to). Will they meet again in this life?
Next, the hero gets acquainted with Maggie. "What about you? Have you always wanted to be a writer?" Quiet, seemingly casual, but in fact rebelling against the object, turning the situation in an instant. The female reporter's usual one-way digging turned into a two-way interview. This transition was abrupt, but Under the shining of the "super bad halo" of the bad boy, in the strong domineering field of Jeff Bridges, the role was further changed, and Jeff began to "review" Maggie; Maggie, who loves writing, became completely undefended "interviewee" like a demon. ", began to talk about my own situation, divorced, single parent, took my own son to live hard, and at the same time stick to the love of words...
The song "Falling And Flying" has a fierce and powerful rhythm, and the lyrics have meaning. The Nashville melody orchestration is authentic and sophisticated, including country musik's registered trademark impromptu word change and voice change. force. Typhoon "Bad Boy" is majestic and magnificent. It does not take a thief or spends a lot of work. It is supported by simplicity. "Fall is like flying", the philosophy inside is extremely profound.
"I was serious". This time, the bad boy and the woman finally got serious, moved their true feelings, fell in love, unable to extricate themselves, and were willing to "falling" while enjoying "flying". Smiling is difficult and fragile. It is precious to be able to show your smile to another living entity. Being able to share a life with another individual for a period of time is a miracle, an adventure, a gambling, and self-murder. So everyone chooses not to smile, not to care, not to be serious, not to invest [time, energy, money]. So this world is getting more and more indifferent.
Why is the bad boy serious? It must be that the kind of ons that broke up at dawn can't satisfy his deep spiritual needs. I can't say anything like Beverly, knowing that I just shrug my shoulders and twist my shoulders to the rhythm, and I can't collide with him on the spiritually high creative platform. And Maggie can easily say "This world is all artificial country music, who makes real country music?" [27'00"] can resonate with the bad boy's "heart". The lines are straightforward, but sometimes lines It has to be simple and straightforward. When you listen to it, you will immediately realize that the bad boy has always made real country music, but it has always been a talent meeting a soldier. And this Maggie really understands music, she has a vision, and she is very old and can’t understand the market. That stupid stuff in circulation. Watching Maggie's eyes in the tavern taking pictures of the bad boy singing "Fallen Flying" for two seconds, she knew that she was overpowered, hit her waist, and had a chemical reaction.
And the result of the chemical experiment. It may not always be euphoric. For example, the old lady lost Maggie’s son in a blink of an eye, Maggie turned her face with her, and she made a lot of complaints. The bright part of the film is that it shows a truth to the evil wolf-ridden world: I care. , Seriously, it is possible to get a deeper cognitive pleasure and richer and more levels of experience. What do you care about? It is up to you to find it yourself.
"...Your tape recorder is still on." One sentence of lines reminds people of the "Sex, Lies, Videotape" 22 years ago. When James Spader and his wife Andie MacDowell developed from an "absolutely private" interview to H on the sofa, the recording device was also okay. The subtle interdependence between events (behavior) and recording (tape) has always fascinated art players, because people are not sure whether I recorded us? It was the cold mechanical record of the person involved. Does machinery have a soul? Don't simply deny it if you come up. Who is in front of the camera H who knows in his heart. Can you look at the camera as relaxed as you look at the mirror? Is your most relaxing time when you look in the mirror? Is the lens just a simple electric eye for you? You look at yourself in the mirror for an hour and try to see how you feel. Is the "person" you see still yourself? Are you as sure as you think you know him/her? The subtle contradictions and unity of opposites between humans and machines, humans and things seem to contain infinite magical possibilities.
The bad boy and Jimmy cooperated tacitly on the stage, as if they were brothers, they were very touching. Pay attention to the harmony between Jimmy and the bad boy. Jimmy looked at the bad boy's eyes instantly. And when the bad boy sang "IT ALL HAPPENS FOR A REASON", the bad boy turned his head to the right and found Jimmy withdrawing his tambourine. Then he extended his right hand to say hello. The action was perfectly natural. Jimmy immediately came back and sang "EVEN WHEN". IT'S WRONG"; the bad boy then: "ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S WRONG". This kind of natural fragments can be seen everywhere in the play, subtle and touching, not like what the director "will come out", but more like a small accident that was preserved during the later editing of the film.
Carefully compare the "Fallin' And Flyin'" sung by the bad boy this time, and what is the difference between the lyrics of "Fallin' And Flyin'" sung in the pub before? Did you find it? Jimmy unexpectedly appeared on stage to cheer the teacher bad boy out of the arrangement, and
seemed to sing impromptu: "I GOT TIRED OF BEIN' GOOD
STARTIN' THAT OLD FEELIN' FREE
STOPPED ACTIN' LIKE I THOUGHT I SHOULD
WENT ON BACK TO BEIN' ME" [A play in a play, a song in a song. These four sentences are quite remorseful for Jimmy, suggesting that this film is a story line of the story of the good grace]
But in general the interaction between men and men The sympathy and tacit appreciation always makes me feel that I am covered in slapsticks and flies, not as eye-catching as women. Okay, why do Chinese tough guys love to watch les dramas, let’s not click the table. Next, let’s talk about the bad guys in the United States. The bad guys said to Maggie Once, "There are two things I don’t want to talk about, one is the child, the other is Jimmy." The audience learned that the son and the student are the two culprits of the bad boy, which is the biggest failure of his life. The audience has already been aware of these two crises. Condensed into a reasonable expectation. And in a few scenes, the bad boy said to his agent on the phone: I will not sing for Jimmy. I just don’t sing. The bad boy’s stubborn character should have been strengthened to its limit. To the point where ordinary people can’t understand it, it was finally portrayed as his complete tragedy. That is to say, in fact, the contradictory line between the bad boy and Jimmy should be smashed from beginning to end. The two tigers are pinched and irreconcilable. It is the biggest opposing force of the film. It made the audience feel desperate, but unfortunately the weak shot was resolved, inexplicably, the two chatted together for a while, went out to smoke a cigarette, the bad boy said "I really need money" and went in to sing for Jimmy to set up the stage, sing Half of Jimmy unexpectedly showed up to cheer his teacher. This kind of "unbuckling" treatment is a bit simple, a bit early, and the previous momentum is useless, anticlimactic. The audience's heart is finally tightened for a "platform period" I was "unloaded."
Taking the bad boy out for fishing is Robert Duval. In 1983, Duval's "Gentle Mercy" touched N many young boys with the vicissitudes of the vicissitudes of the bore and the rough strings. His heart. Now the performance is more proficient, easy to do, with light weight, subtle and broad. Ge You is simply dog blood, is it called acting? Which of his plays can be regarded as "acting"? From the beginning of "Hunter" to The Sange Banquet at the end of last year was all repeating his own silly silly look.
I first noticed Jeff Bridges’ performance when he watched "The Fabulous Baker Boys" in 1989. He and his brother Beau Bridges played a pair of brothers who performed piano duets in a nightclub. At that time, his musical talent was simple and casual, and he was not appropriate for anything. The attitude of the matter attracted me. There is also a plot in "The Fabulous Baker Boys". The two brothers quarreled about whether to go to the TV station to play mentally handicapped music for disabled children. Jeff broke his brother's finger angrily. The touching thing is that in the film, both of these brothers are pianists who eat with their fingers. The relationship between the brothers does not necessarily have to be handled so numbly. Brotherhood, in my opinion, is just like any bilateral relationship between neighboring countries. Tension and friction are normal, and it is not normal for intimacy to hold hands to sleep.
The opening and closing song "Hold on You" is also good, but it is a bit slick and commercial. Compared with the track composed by Ry Cooder for "Texas Paris" in 1984, it is obviously not at the same altitude. Ry Cooder's "Paris Texas", "On The Couch", "She's Leaving The Bank", "Houston In Two Seconds", "No Safety Zone", "Nothing Out There", "Dark Was The Night" every time I listen It made me fall apart and collapsed sweetly, especially "Cancion Mixteca".
Weaving baskets and baskets is about closing the mouth. Quickly pull back to focus and say "Crazy Heart". Well, all in all, this film is about aging/exhaustion. My point of view is different from other bean friends, but it makes sense to be different. This is the meaning of my film reviews.
Aging/exhaustion will come sooner or later. This is an iron law, irresistible.
