The main line of the film: a pistol that grabs too much speculation and attention. Even beyond the pondering of emotions. The last line is also a pistol, and it has been shot. 4 stars.
The pistol in this film appears, and there are three more memorable sections.
The first time was when the man left the school, just got in the car and found the gun. As a result, the students came to interrupt.
The second time was when I was processing a check at the bank and found the gun in my bag again at the bank. As a result, the little girl from the neighbor came and interrupted. And a great conversation. This dialogue is related to the story of the neighbor's child and dog that George and Jimmy told when they were reading at home. The appearance of young people and children indicates that this gun is not only the main line, but also a gun that is not destined to fire.
The third time, student Kenny came to his house. The smiling scene of lying on the couch at night and holding the gun he put on the table in his arms. Such a scene made George hear the sound of insects and silence, and changed.
Although the layout of these three guns is a bit more colorful, they all play a certain role in the development of the complex. It is especially important to note that the screenwriter arranged for George to buy bullets, saying that the gun was an old gun, to show that in 16 years, George may not know the meaning of guns in life at all. Suicide is an unthinkable choice. It was easy to understand that he was struggling to die in a chair, jumping out of bed, sitting on a bed, or dying in a sleeping bag.
His love for his old lover is a great love. In the morning, he was reluctant to answer the phone but had to answer it, lying in his sleeping bag when he heard the phone ringing and wanted to answer immediately that I had bought the gin, that kind of inner world that was willing to take on the promise and not let the promise be misty, indicating that he would eventually It takes an external pressure to break through the pain within.
In the classroom, he is the teacher who is best at breaking the pain. Although the classroom is dull, he is good at breaking the pain of others.
The director of this film entered the film and television circle from the fashion circle for the first time, and has achieved very good achievements. On the one hand, it has something to do with his connections and his mentality of not relying on the box office, and on the other hand, it has something to do with his directing technique of exploring the soul. By his own admission, he has learned a lot from Wong Kar Wai. Of course, it's not just the movies that are learned.
