A 57-year-old old man who loves to drink and is a country singer. In him I see the shadow of my father, who refuses to accept the old age and has his own temperament. In fact, because my age, life experience, and social experience are far from enough, and I am still in an infancy, it is difficult to fully understand this movie.
He regarded his nickname as more important than his real name. He was a heavy drinker and smoker. Because of his old age, he saw Tommy, a singer brought up by him, open a concert for ten thousand people, but he was invited to sing the opening song. It was an insult to him, but he took it because he needed the money. The two songs of this old boy appear repeatedly in the film, one is "To Get You" and "Falling Fly". The lyrics and music are extremely beautiful and worthy of appreciation, making people intoxicated with texture and a touch of sadness.
He is the bad boy.
There was a resurgence in the bad boy's love, and a single mother, a woman who was a journalist by profession, entered his world. He lived with the woman, and the woman's son, for a period of time, and developed a relationship. But later, after getting drunk in a small bar, the single mother's son was lost, and although the son was finally found, the single mother left him. This incident inspired him, he decided to quit drinking, and he succeeded in quitting alcohol, but he did not restore the love of Su Su. At the same time, in his previous four marriages, the children were reluctant to pay attention to him. It can be seen that the director tells us that life cannot be repeated. As a result, Liu Huan's well-known song "Coming From Scratch" is very limited, and sometimes it is really impossible to start all over again.
I have seen other people say that this film expresses the loss and redemption of the soul. I think there is some truth to it, but I think the so-called redemption of the soul is just a slight change to the existing soul. What comes from the bones, in fact, has always been keeping it. While viewers are looking forward to a happy ending for Bad Boy, being with a single mother and raising her young son to grow up. However, the truth is cruel, the reality is cruel. I also don't want to compare "In the Clouds" with this film. If the former is a typical "prodigal son" model, the latter is a true portrayal of the inner world of fifty or sixty old men.
An old man's loneliness.
This is an embarrassing age, especially for people in their 50s and 60s. Say old, not very old; say not old, it is retirement age. At this age, on the one hand, there are regrets in life that I want to make up for; on the other hand, I feel powerless. Compared with young people, there is a lot of difference. Just like the "Falling Flying" he sang repeatedly, at the age of "falling", he has to fly like a vigorous young man. I have also noticed a problem, people always link the elderly and children together, they are a vulnerable group, but also a lovely group. Life is originally a circle. When I was a child, I climbed up from the origin. When I reached the peak of my youth, I started to slide down, and it continued to slide down until I was born. At this time, the god of death came to greet me in a hurry.
No matter what, whether it is a child or an elderly person, or a young person or a middle-aged person, they have to face twenty-four hours a day, they have to face eating, drinking and lhasa every day, they have to face their emotions every day, and they think every day. Do what you like, and don't want to do what you hate. Every day there are people you want to see and people you don't want to see... People and people, in general, are actually the same. Age, gender, rich and poor, etc., do not matter, as long as you live a wonderful life, even if it is based on pain.
