The small-format film "Like Crazy", which is also famous in Sundance, has obvious story content and expression strength. Films such as "Beginner", "Frozen River", "Treasure", and "Winter Bones", which were nominated by popular awards, are different. The former presents the emotional journey more green, warm and beautiful, and the audience The age is also shrinking.
In addition to becoming famous, you also need to be young to watch certain types of romance movies. Those who stumbling and stumbling on the road of emotions and suffering from old mentality will mostly become realistic and languid, indifferent and indifferent, and have a strong attitude towards love movies. I feel incompetent in the lingering and distressed separation, just like Anna and Jacob, who are in a different place and exotic in the film, are finally indifferent after several tossings.
If it is not really insane, "all kinds of madness" are only temporary, like people coming crazy. The "short frequency fast" love is crazy, and it can't last too long, unless it is the kind of infatuated player. What's more, love is like a fever and a cold, like a symptom, and there is always a time to carry it. Moreover, many sensible and lovely experts have advertised that "love has a shelf life". The term change of time is not only applicable to love when you are young, but also to the mood when you are old.
Time and space is a monster that can swallow everything. Invisibly, many of the most important and precious things in the original heart have changed. Anna and Jacob, who have encountered passion and waited for reunion, disputes, cold war recombination and other dramas, are no longer what they used to be. Indifferently looking for feeling and courage in each other's eyes, at the end of the film, their touch avoids each other's eyes, only the backtracking of the first feeling remains in the brain. It used to be beautiful, but reality is a cold wall. Everything that has happened has become irreversible. If there was a person in life who was irreplaceable, it was actually a feeling that the other person at that time was irreplaceable. , If you want to catch that ethereal and charming moment, everything can only be in vain. Years later, the remaining feelings of the youth who were unable to give up were actually just trying to give up the self in youth.
Probably because of the lack of touch with the story itself, he calmly watched the footage of the film and the performance of the young actors. Director Drake Doremus seems to prefer to use the movement of the camera and the careful setting of the picture to express something. Touching subtle feelings for a moment, such as Anna and Jacob's love affair with each other, and every kind of sleep that is hard to share. Each pose that looks like a photo shows the love that was in full swing when they were young; like lying on the beach when they were in love. Looking at each other, Anna’s short skirt is bright blue at this time, as if to mark a kind of unforgettable love; another example is the scene of the bar scene is obviously more shaking than other shots, as if it implies a kind of mind. Restless.
Felicity Jones, the petite and charming British girl who performed Catherine in the 07 edition of "Northanger Abbey", showed Anna's loveliness and true feelings, and made a girl who "encountered love and love hard" The expression of love is very realistic, and she also showed the indifferent and tiredness in the follow-up reality. She won the special award of the Sundance judges, and she was happy for her. Anton Eugene, the smart kid in "Heart of Atlantis" and the poor boy in "Alpha Dog", grew up and his acting skills improved. Jacob's role seems to be better than "Beaver" The son in China is hard to handle. Jennifer Lawrence, who worked with Eugene in "Beaver", starred in Jacob's temporary lover Sama. Because he liked Jennifer's performance in "Winter's Bones", she cared more about her, but unfortunately, in the film Sama has fewer plays. Fortunately, in the only shot that reproduces the mood in a flash, Jennifer’s inner play
has the hardships of love in the future. Jacob gave Anna a bracelet with the words engraved on it. It seems to be a mark of this love story. You can have good thoughts, but they are not commonly used in practice. In fact, no one is a saint and can't challenge those ifs. In terms of emotions, humans usually cannot withstand challenges and provocations. The passage of time is a reality and an excuse.
It is said that the story in the film is the past relationship between the director and the ex-wife. The title of ex-wife fulfills the fact that once crazy love encounters the cold reality, it will be unsustainable. No matter how beautiful and strong the past is, it is an irreversible elegy. A love letter written to the past.
