--------------------- I am the dividing line of "Is the little radish a self-deprecating history of drug use" (spoiler)
I confessed, which drove me to pay attention to this film for a long time And the biggest (well, the only factor) is the radish. It's a pity that the protagonist of this "Father Lawyer" (please "Dad Judge" is too stupid) is destined to be the father played by old Robert. However, the whole story is still strung together by the big bright eyes (→ →) of the little radish.
After reading the psychiatrist Banner, the little radish finally changed his name to beast, I mean, hank, became a lawyer, and used to We who had him as tony and sherlock were also curious about his first movie work in the mom-and-pop shop: Is he finally going to be the best actor from Liangliang? Unfortunately, the trailer of the Women's Federation 2 and the news of the little radish joining Team America 3 followed one after another, which made me think of him as Tony with the same hairstyle several times during the movie (especially Duvall's temperament is actually the same as the old man of Iron Man 2). In the case of Stark's resemblance) Of course, such a play is actually not long, because the 13-year Oscar element implanted in this film is actually more.
You must be wondering if this has anything to do with last year's Oscars, so I'll say it in paragraphs: When the first light hit the radish's face and blinded my eyes, the strong star trek12 sense of sight flooded When I got to my heart (and went blind several times after that), when the photo album of father and son fishing was played in Xiao Luo's mind, "Philomena" said that there was something to say (there was actually a person who shot a family photo album), when When Xiao Luo's car drove down the path of my hometown, the vast Mai Lang took me back to "Osage County in August" (which is also the film with the closest temperament to this film), and the long-term estranged father-son relationship dragged me again "Nebraska" (unfortunately, Duvall didn't have a chance to take off a pair of pants in front of the tombstone) and the various climaxes of the film---the tearing are full of the temperament of "August Osage County" (not "Little Times") , and besides the implantation of Oscar and radish elements, there is a wonderful plot of "happy father", I finally understand why this film can soar to 141 minutes.
——I am the dividing line of "this piece of information is slightly larger"
Behind the mix and match of temperament is a slightly redundant script and story line. This is due to the ambition of the creators: they intend to express the delicate father-son relationship by depicting a group portrait of their hometown and an extreme case. In fact, as a person who is not good at expressing feelings, I can feel the writer's sullen heart: many details flashed by with an attitude of "well, you know I won't say more", and the audience felt that The audience applauded at the festival, and the audience who could not feel it could only see the surface of the cliché and the buttocks of the radish (→_→).
However, their good intentions cannot be completely denied because of the lack of choreographers and directors. Although there are many branch lines, (most) clues are paving the way for the accumulation of final emotions, and have achieved its due effect. For example, the decadent eldest brother first-line, while they brought out his baseball story with casual brushstrokes, they also linked their personal encounters with the family's fortunes, and in the last half hour they burst out with their due strength, through The destruction of his career has led to the deep contradictions and knots of the little radish father and son, and similar plots can have an accumulated effect in the last half hour. Of course, the price is also heavy: the over-ambitious screenwriters want to cover every aspect of their hometown, but they are unable to do what they want, so there is a little radish arguing with his father in the rain in the last paragraph, and the next second he suddenly wants to go to the countryside to ride a bicycle. (like Peter suddenly remembered his parents after beating Electron in The Amazing Spider-Man 2—), not to mention the "Happy Daddy" line that doesn't even know what to do if he wants to break his head, except I really don't know the use of letting the audience sigh that Farmiga is good-looking and showing off Xiaoruo's attitude of fleeing from his hometown.
Fortunately, the last half hour when the above lines are brought together, that is, the paragraph of father-son love, is full of weight.
————I am the dividing line of "nobody said it was easy"
Although there is the problem of excessive tearing and aesthetic fatigue like "August" (I can't help but think of "August", the configuration of mother and daughter and father and son are almost exactly the same, even the line where the child is cheated is the same), but in the court scene Great healing for the audience. Facing the accusation of murder, the father, who has abided by justice and honor all his life, still almost stubbornly adheres to his own principles, and insists that he would rather die standing up than live by small means, and would even kill himself completely, in his son. In his eyes, his persistence is unreasonable, but in fact, he is doing his best to maintain his final dignity as a judge for 42 years.
However, behind the strong and stubborn father is also delicate: see through his son's divorce at a glance; still hand the towel to his son when he and his son are arguing in a typhoon day; teach his son how to send his daughter when his son washes himself; The naming of the son...
Behind the delicateness, the father's pain, although not so vivid, still pierces people's hearts: when the eldest son's future is "destroyed" by the second son, no one must accept how he is entangled in his heart; Facing the reality that his memory has faded and he needs someone to take care of him until he grows old (there are a few scenes that reminded him of "Love"); and the deepest knot in my father's heart is that he let go of the seemingly unforgivable man: the reason is His heart softened. And the reason why my father is soft-hearted is actually the biggest tear in the whole film: "I saw you in him who was confused at that time." Father always seemed to be strong, and we were always full of vigilance and dissatisfaction with father's strictness. We are actually his greatest weakness.
I couldn't help thinking of my father, he was a very strict teacher, he had the common problem of all teachers: he brought home the habit of managing students, so he was always difficult to be satisfied with me, not only that, when facing students, he It also speaks of principles to the point of inhumanity. However, behind this is a father who loves his son to the core: he "bragged" me in front of outsiders, always thinking about me when he bought delicious food, and the seamless connection with the movie was the year of the college entrance examination. He suddenly began to be soft-hearted towards his students. He even took the initiative to help the students who forgot to bring something for the exam. Recalling that time, he said: "At that time, when you took the college entrance examination, when you saw them in the exam room, they thought of you. It was very hard, and I couldn't help but soften my heart." And the court scene also hit this memory hard, if it wasn't for my roommate, I would have fallen to TT on the spot.
Thank you father for protecting us with their strong hearts - their greatest weakness.
——————I am the dividing line of "summarizing time"
Although this movie has such flaws, Oscar is hopeless (even the best actors and soundtracks are A-level, and the director is hovering between B and C) ), however some of its differences and seriousness in cliché are destined to be one of the movies that should not be forgotten this year, of course, I have to hope that Xiaorui will take on a less tony role in the future, so that he and susan's Mom-and-pop shops are booming. ———— I
am the dividing line who continues to complain I promise not to kill him. . . —— 3. The bicycle scene is really not to add drama to the butt of the little radish? 4. I didn't even mention Uncle Thornton... 5. Soundtrack: as expected, but it sounded good. 6. When my roommate saw Farmiga, he shouted a little pepper →_→ 7. Back to his father's office, Radish unconsciously turned the office chair to recall his father, so the question came: did the chair stop at the end?
