Watching this movie is a strange process. In the first half of the movie, the camera is pulled back and forth, and the picture is indifferent. I don’t know why the dialogue is. If it weren’t for Peter and Sean Penn, I should have quit earlier. I always feel that there should be surprises later. So be patient and continue watching.
In the second part, the picture suddenly becomes more beautiful, like a long universe, a vast starry sky, or a celestial wonder, a natural vision, the whole thing feels like Discovery Channel, well, the director must have said something, but we haven’t Just understand it.
The next step is to enter the plot, telling the story of the Pitt family, from childhood to growth, although there are some inexplicable voices, but I finally "understand" it. It is undeniable that the director's ability to deal with the children's world is really easy to resonate with people, and in the slow music, he flashes back a few inexplicable pictures from time to time.
The child is getting bigger and bigger, and it can be seen that he is also rebellious in his heart. This child is acting a little evil, and he always thinks that he will do something bad. Misleading, the family reunites after the conflict.
Then it came again, and began to bring in the picture of Sean Penn again, and finally a large family was walking on the beach, and there were many people who did not know each other, and then the film was released in these personal harmony and mutual comfort or encouragement. At the end of the film...
it hurts, it hurts very much, it hurts for no reason! I'm still a little bit incredulous, what is this film trying to say? The director used these seemingly irrelevant, even vexatious scenes, and spent more than two hours, using such big names Brad Pitt and Sean Penn to express what? Even if I revisit the whole film again, I can only say that I understand that Sean Penn is the child who grew up, and then the director uses a time-space staggered way to explain the child's understanding of the father, and at the same time it is considered a A new understanding of society. Do such films and themes need to be expressed in this way? It really feels like a trick! Super depressed.
Finally, for this film, I can only say that I am too shallow and cannot understand it for the time being, but how can I have the patience to watch such a film again? As a landscape film, the picture is beautiful. If not being able to read represents my shallowness, then I'd rather admit to being shallow than waste another two hours.
