I don't know if I'm suddenly picky about movies, or if I just don't get along with this movie. In all the places the director wanted to impress the audience, I had no response.
When the story progressed to the point where Jimmy met the man at the Parkinson's medical conference and heard him say he regretted it, I thought that in the end Jimmy would give up his love for the heroine. What's wrong with that? I think if it had such a tragic ending, I would have liked this movie. Or, at least, can the male protagonist not change so quickly. But in the end, it suddenly woke up with an incomparably bloody male protagonist and found that his life needed a female protagonist to end. So is this movie telling us an extremely important philosophy of life or a love story? ? ? A word popped into my head: anticlimactic. Another one appeared: the dog-tailed mink.
Playing a Parkinson's patient may not be sensitive, but Anne didn't play the patient well. I don't understand, why did the director arrange for the heroine to have such a disease? ? Are you in love with Parkinson's? Is it because Parkinson is the heroine's part of her life? Or just a gimmick. . .
You know, all the patients with Parkinson's in the real world may be very angry when they see this movie. . .
The words of the male protagonist's confession at the end of the film are actually very pertinent and moving. However, does this have anything to do with the Parkinson's who played up the heroine in a large amount of time? ? When a prodigal son finds out that he has never cared for anyone in his life, then he finds that the heroine makes him feel that he needs someone in his life, and makes him feel that the so-called love is not as simple as the love of fish and water. It makes him feel that life is heavy and so When there is a glimmer of hope, why is this ending so abrupt? Director, if you want to express this philosophy of life, you have designed so many stories with and without Mao before? When I first found out what a twisted story the entire 112-minute film was, it turned out to be just that. The essence that could have been concentrated in 90 minutes was photographed for such a long time. There is something called aesthetic fatigue. . . .
I still admire Anne's bold performance. I admit that even though the film is R-rated, it still feels like a PG13 to me with the two actors. But to make such a big contribution, you have to see if the script is worth it. . .
My biggest takeaway after watching this film is: Jake Gyllenhaal is so handsome and beautiful.
