A history of spiritual self-transformation of a typical Hollywood playwright. No matter from the lens, rhythm, value concept or structure, it is perfect from the beginning to the bloody case, but after the bloody case, the description obviously begins to be absurd and the meaning of value is deserted, although it is still interspersed with the social responsibility and commercial value of independent writers. Contradictory main line, but the inversion of the bloody case, the reversal of the fat man's character setting makes people feel more empty and funny, a breakthrough and show off in the skills of video and narratology, and in the maintenance of the core of the story, it is obvious start to become vulnerable. Although the narrative at the end of the film and the absurd fire can already clearly see that the director emphasizes that this is an illusion of Patton's self-spirited breakthrough, the non-directive efforts and postmodernist style of the ending make people feel nondescript. There is neither pain nor happiness, just blankness. Despite the director's various efforts to emphasize the fight, transcendence and sublimation of the alienated self-personality of Barton and Fatty, the blank open ending almost dilutes this appeal to nothing. Not any postmodern story can have an open-ended or blank ending, and it should be chosen according to different stories and situations. It is a special pity that the following small plots and anti-plots can be applied to the main contradiction of the original commercial VS art, and the discussion can be pushed to the depth, and it can be pushed to 4-5 stars
. Anyway, one was shot in 1991. The pioneering and experimental film deserves 3-3.5 stars. It has the same theme and is much better than "Birdman". At least in that era, people could endure loneliness and finish a story in a down-to-earth manner, rather than relying on technology. Stacking up and purifying and aristocratizing value concepts to please "old white men" and "old yellow men" and old black men. . .
PS, how to see how the cover poster looks like the adult version of HARRY POTTER, especially the lightning-like thing on the head
