I watched some famous movies in the past few days: "The Departed", "Shutter Island", "Hugo", "American Graffiti" and "Nebraska". The last one used the lens of a big scene to show such a small subject and low cost work, and it also uses black and white images, which is a bit interesting. Of course, as an ex-architect and master of scheme design, it would be easy to comprehend the interpretation that it uses the vocabulary of movies to symbolize the small and the big, and to reflect the universal human nature through ordinary daily life, but it is not very interesting, because it just feels This possibility may not necessarily have a definite correspondence. The black-and-white picture is appropriate for the expression of my father's fluffy white hair and beard, and it is not necessarily a reason to abandon the usual color film. Generally speaking, there is no abruptness. The film reflects the spiritual poverty of people living in remote small towns in the United States in a nuanced way, and it is also a key point that the director intends to express. The two fat, dumb, sometimes suddenly active and funny brothers, in a boring, dull chat, one of them suddenly said "Driving from Billings for two fucking days" and the two burst into laughter. The presentation is very typical; it is similar to that of the civil servant in Chekhov's "Woman with a Puppy" who just got on a sleigh suddenly said, "You were right: that sturgeon meat does smell a little bit". And at that big family gathering, a group of men sat together to watch the game, and the seemingly bland conversation was quite interesting. The final theme I think is quite warm, how to treat the relatives' behavior that is very absurd and childish in my opinion. This point is similar to the tone of "Classmates" that I want to write a little bit. The presentation of the younger son is worth noting, such a contrasting character, but the film does not highlight this contrast much, and the treatment is relatively light, which makes it seem less conventional. The director used very little space to explain that he was a salesman selling audio equipment, used a static image to reflect that he lived in a single-corridor apartment building, mentioned that he was also an alcoholic and was quitting alcohol, and mentioned that he was unmarried , has a fat and tall girlfriend whose relationship has become unstable. The latter point does come as a surprise to most viewers, because the protagonist, who was supposed to be pretty damn good as a girl as a kid, could have a much better looking partner. Less is said about this behemoth, but there is one detail worth recalling. After she entered his room, she reminded him that the two potted plants needed watering. When he hurriedly took them to the sink, she picked up the dead leaves on the potting stand, crushed them, and put them into her pockets. The interpretation I am willing to make is more superficial. She helps him clean up but doesn't want him to know, which may cause him embarrassment. A further interpretation may be in contrast to his mother's ramble about his father. . In any case, she is like a kind and considerate woman, and maybe this is what the director tries to make the audience feel: she is such a person, so what kind of person he might be who sees her. The other two brothers stealing the compressor was quite fun.
