At the 86th Academy Awards held on March 3, 2014, the small-production film "Nebraska" was nominated for best picture together with a series of big-production traditional award-winning films, which undoubtedly attracted widespread attention. Its unique shooting angle of road film, black and white picture quality, excellent soundtrack level, and the deep meaning of the death chapter have left a deep impression and endless aftertaste to the audience. The filming also went through many hardships. Phedon Papamichael, the photographer of "Nebraska", said: "We chose black and white because black and white can connect landscapes and cultural activities." Director Alexander Payne ignored Papamichael Against the objection of the Mongolian company, it violated the principles of commercial film and made the film into black and white. In the past, most road films were based on the story of desperation and wandering. Director Alexander Payne chose a bland American family as the background, and shaped the story of an old man, Woody, pursuing his dreams. 1. Believing in winning the lottery and throwing a gamble The grand prize, this bonus ignited the passion in his heart. With this huge sum of money, he can become a rich man, buy a truck of his own, and do everything he wants to do. Everyone knows that this is an advertising flyer that uses a fake bonus as a gimmick to attract readers to subscribe to the magazine, but Woody is so convinced that if his family does not help him, he will walk from Billings, Montana to Nebra. Lincoln, Scarborough, to receive the award. His wife and two sons tried to persuade him several times to no avail. In the end, his youngest son, David, decided to drive him to Lincoln to receive the award. Second, an accident happened on the road, and the plan was changed. The youngest son, David, thought that he would settle down to satisfy his father's wish. While driving, Woody injured his head. Looking at his father, who had stitches on his head, David was very worried and thought that the next journey might be difficult to complete. Visit relatives you haven't seen in a long time. 3. Returning to my hometown, I understand that my father's hometown is a traditional town, and most of my friends from the past still live there. Woody told the old neighbor that he had won a huge bonus. Everyone knew his personality and expressed to Woody's family that he had borrowed money in the past. Give him, or help, and hope to get what he deserves in return. While helping his father's unscrupulous people, David also saw the joy in his father's eyes when he was admired. Later, someone snatched the winning advertisement that Woody had hidden in his clothes, read the advertisement in front of everyone, and everyone began to laugh at him, taking back the advertisement in annoyance. David also seemed to understand that his father knew the fact of the winning advertisement, but why was he so persistent in accepting the award? Even if you don't get the bonus, you can get a dream and an extraordinary experience in a boring life. So David took his father back on the journey to accept the award. 4. Helping my father realize his dream. If a new student comes to Lincoln City, the staff will tell Woody that he has not won the lottery after verifying the winning code, and can only receive a prize - printed with "Prize" Winner" hat. He put it on silently, his eyes full of loss. This is the turning point of the film when David uses the money from the sale of his car to buy a truck and a car in Lincoln. The air compressor, telling the father, "The truck is registered in your name, and this car is yours. "At that moment, Woody was like a sudden rebirth, and excitedly sat in the cab. The film is told from a third-person perspective, and the description of the details is particularly in place. The opening does not reveal the winning advertisement, but the plot is guiding the audience. It is only Woody's fantasy. The result of the award was expected. At this moment, we were relieved and regretful. Then David helped his father realize his dream in a warm way, which brought us a strong heart shock. When the "Prize Winner" on the gift hat appeared It is ironic, but when the old father finally drove the truck back to his hometown and showed it to the old neighbors in a cocky and calm attitude, he suddenly realized that this journey may be true for the dying old father. is a life winner.
