There is an island in my heart - "MUD" film review

The movie had been sitting on the hard drive for too long, and finally finished it on a bright afternoon.

MUD, just like its name, is also like his people, whether it interprets him, or is he interpreting it.

The story happened on a small island like this, plain and delicate, but without losing the rhythm.

At first I didn't understand why it was an uninhabited island. The river washed the shore again and again, like the mud on the shore. Some were taken away and some were left, but the ones on the island couldn't be washed away. People, like this little guy Nick Burns, described the origin of the boat on the island, the last flood brought the boat, and it's been here ever since. Mud, the only person on this island, is sloppy, with a snake tattoo on his shoulder, and only two important things on his body, a white shirt with a wolf on the cuff to give him courage at all times, and a pistol to protect himself.

When Nick Burn asked Mud about the origin of the snake tattoo, he said, this is a reminder, don't get bitten again, Mud's past told him not to be bitten by a snake again, otherwise he will die. Like the bird that flew over their heads when he introduced his girlfriend Junior a few minutes ago.

Ellis, the second male, is a child who grew up with mud in the film, but the age is different, but it also reflects mud's past cognition of love, simple (a touch of innocence), loyalty (a kiss and a smile) He thought he got love), rude (he gave him a punch when he came up), and his loyalty and firm attitude towards love was reflected in helping mud without hesitation, just as mud killed and played with his girlfriend for his girlfriend and made him infertile The scumbag, well, at this point I admit that its goddess is easier to describe than its girlfriend. At this time, I realized that it seems that mud is stranded on this island alone, for that loyal Love, not only has a question: is it worth it? Isn't it worth it? Everyone's answer must be different, is this answer correct? Is it still wrong? There is no standard answer, everyone's answer is a standard answer, not much nonsense, continue...

In fact, when we get here, the atmosphere is almost set, and what should come will always come, just like the arrival of the goddess mud and the enemy who follow, mud is about to leave the island, at this time mud's killer adoptive father appears, an unkind and An old man who is social and withdrawn, what impressed me most was what his adoptive father said on this island: You have been around that woman like a dog all your life, and she threw you halfway out of the United States on the way. Back again (where did you come back?), what are you for? For this, for being trapped on this island where birds don't shit! At this point, I have to admit that Kojima is no longer Kojima, and mud is no longer mud, but when I look back, Kojima is still Kojima, and mud is still mud. I admire the director, and the plain scenes are set off by actors and content The next is no longer dull. The anger of his adoptive father is not because he looks down on mud and his love, but precisely because his adoptive father has also experienced unforgettable love, sorrow for his misfortune, and indisputable anger...

In the process of Ellis and Nick Burns helping mud In the middle, a lot of things happened. For example, Nick Bourne asked mud to promise him and reward him after the event was completed. As a result, mud chose to give him a gun to protect himself at all times, and left the white clothes that he had to wear when he wanted to meet Junior. Shirts, such as the quarrel between Ellis' parents and the divorce, were taken away by Ellis when he thought the old engine was scrap, and was later discovered by his parents. All the emotional points of his parents broke out at this time, which reflected the director's feelings towards Another reflection on the unmarked marriage.

Of course, the excitement always has to be left at the end. When Ellis saw that the goddess mud was eloping with them, she flirted with a handsome man at the bar, and the female hormones soared. Ellis and Nick Bourne left, and then told Mud that Mud got drunk on the island, woke up and took off his white shirt that he never left, and then the misfortune was not singly. Ellis also saw the girlfriend he had just identified, but Sitting in another handsome car, laughing, beating and scolding, being ambiguous, rushing up and punching... The excitement continues. Compared with the failure of his love, Ellis believes more firmly. Mud's love, he still went to see Junior the next day, when Junior was told by mud that it's over because of the bar incident, she yelled at Ellis about mud's smudges (cowardly, hypocritical.. .....), but no amount of roaring can cover up the fact that she lived up to mud's feelings, she is no longer worthy of mud's sacrifice for her, the anger at this time is more like a kind of self-consolation, after Ellis left, she Crying silently, maybe explaining her feelings, maybe she loves mud, maybe not, just has a bad conscience for her actions, but she loves herself more than mud, which is too complicated with Junior's feelings Than, mud's feelings are more pure, simple, loyal, not so much the reality of Junior, it is better to say that mud's feelings have not grown up, have not yet walked out of the island, just like Ellis, but Ellis is still young and still When there is time to go out, mud has persisted for so many years, but it is deadly, like a snake tattoo.

Ellis believed Junior's words, went back and questioned Mud, scolded him for his cowardice and lack of persistence, determined that he was a liar, and fell into the snake pit on the way back. White shirt, jumped into the snake pit, risked his life if he was injured by a snake again, and the danger of being killed by the enemy when he entered the city, sent Ellis to the hospital, his cowardice, hypocrisy, self-defeating, silent at this time Better than sound.

In the end, in order to say goodbye to Ellis, Mud was blocked by his enemies in Ellis' room. He was almost killed by his adoptive father. He lost his shirt and left the island on his own initiative, smiling at the new student.

Ellis moved, his parents divorced, and he lived with his mother. When faced with a new environment, Ellis smiled at the girls, indicating that he has walked out and also walked out of the island, who said mud did not Give Ellis a gift, his experience is the best gift mud gave him, just like what mud told Ellis when he parted: Ellis, you are a good man, if you meet a woman who is half as good as you, you will be fine passed. It's just that mud has sacrificed too much for this and understanding, and Ellis' life has just begun...
