I liked the music at the beginning.
I love this beginning. Black and white images, no dialogue, no music, just the sounds of passing cars and cars.
The police stopped the car and kept asking questions. The old man didn't say a word, and the music started.
After the son enters the police station, he talks to his father. When the old man said: i don't trust mail with a million dollars, the expression and tone of the sentence made me fall in love with this old man.
The whole film is 115 minutes, but it is actually a very simple story, so simple that it can even be summed up in one sentence. An old man in sixties, accompanied by his younger son, embarked on a journey to receive a million-dollar jackpot. Of course, as the audience already knew at the beginning, it was a scam. But after this journey, life can look back. Finally, swap driving positions with my son, get into the newly bought second-hand truck, drive through the town where I grew up, drive past familiar faces, and finally reconcile with myself.
The story is simple, the lines are very concise, but the humor is powerful. (I like this old couple very much. I sighed silently several times in the middle, the old man’s acting skills are too good.) The father and son are looking for braces together, the men who don’t like to talk at the aunt’s house sit and watch TV together, and the brothers secretly compress for their father. The machine was returned, and the twins stole the old man's winning lottery ticket, which was very interesting. The conversations are not secret, but the corners of the mouth always rise up unconsciously. The character creation was also very successful. At the beginning, the mother was an ordinary grandma who disliked the old man and kept talking about it. Especially in the tavern, the old man said to his son, if you marry a woman like your mother, you will drink like me, so at first, I didn't like this character. But as the grandmother went to the aunt's house to meet with the father and son, she got off the car and went to the cemetery. The son said that the aunt had already prepared the meal, and the mother said domineeringly: She can wait, then pulled the suitcase and turned around, and the character slowly started. show. Especially in front of the cemetery to expose his body to his former suitor, hahaha, so cute. At the climax, the grandmother yells at a bunch of shameless relatives who want to share a cup of cheese: go fuck yourselves! I think everyone here has fallen in love with this old grandmother, who is straightforward, brave, humorous, and loves her alcoholic husband who doesn't like to talk or refuse. The last scene of the grandmother in the movie is when she complained about her husband, while gently brushing her husband's hair, and kissing his cheek affectionately.
I really like the soundtrack. The vast and desolate perspectives are superimposed, interweaving the close-up of the car, the close-up of the son looking at his father, the black and white image with music, every cell feels comfortable. The absurd and tender award-winning journey ended, and the father and son set foot on their way home. It was still a black and white expansive long-range shot, but inside the car, the close-up turned into a father looking at his son. Finally, the familiar music played, the old man drove his newly bought second-hand truck and let his son get down, the slow close-up of the old man in the car was interspersed with the close-ups of those familiar faces, so long woody. The music stops. On the road outside the desolate town, the car stopped, the father and son exchanged driving positions again, a long-range shot without music and no dialogue, the two got into the car again, the car continued to drive forward, and after a few seconds, the music slowly sounded .
Thinking of the fractal map I saw yesterday, at the ideal resolution, simple things are constantly fractal, and what you see is different and endless. Just like when the three-dimensional space in the three-body falls back to two-dimensional, anything that seems to be the most ordinary and the most inconspicuous becomes extremely complex. Simple, but also complex, because it is all-encompassing.
