As a powerful Hollywood star, his scope can be described as extensive.
From action films, war films, thrillers, romance films, to literary films, it can be said that it is fully blooming.
I have seen many of his films, some famous ones more than once.
Strange to say, every time I watch one of his films, there is always something that impresses me.
A few days ago I watched his "Lord of War", a developed history of an arms dealer.
He has the ability to always show the ordinary behind a certain legend.
The arms dealer he plays in the film does not have such a magnificent background and developed relationship network as ordinary people imagine.
There is nothing magical about him being able to become such a world-famous arms dealer.
He buys and sells arms, but this is just his way of making a living, his business behavior, just like selling potatoes and cabbage.
In addition, he is just an ordinary ordinary person, with ordinary people's ups and downs.
He also doesn't have any background in the underworld, so he must say he has, but there is a detective who is chasing him closely behind his ass.
All joints are connected by money, not so much a relationship as a trade relationship.
Of course, in the process of business, occasionally there are people who are affectionate and righteous, for example, his "uncle", an officer.
His loyal officer "Uncle" turned down six big-name arms dealers for him.
His officer "uncle" prided himself on serving him by himself until he was blown up in the car.
Such a tragic figure precisely represents a generation of that era.
They are loyal, they are firm, they are not faithless anarchists.
But why did they change from staunch warriors to "red" businessmen selling state-owned assets?
This is not a matter of lofty beliefs, nor a far-reaching social issue, it is just a matter of practical reality.
We have always condemned those arms dealers, believing that they do not know what humanity is, and that they are helping others for their own selfish interests.
However, the fact is that in the arms market, rigid demand will always exist, and there will be an increasing trend.
In other words, I don't sell, you don't sell, and he sells, and there are thousands of him selling.
In the words of Matthew Scudder, these are bloody money that some people will find hot.
It's funny to say that arms, from the day it was born, are for killing, or in other words, for faster and better killing.
If the source of evil is selling, it is better to say that it is manufacture and use.
What is humanity? What is democracy? What is the human heart?
Genocide is still being staged in Africa to this day. If there is no gun, then the knife is used. There is always a solution.
So, frankly, I despise people like his younger brother, who suddenly became kind in the face of the massacre, thinking that he could save them.
He never thought that without guns, those people would also die, but it was more painful to die.
He never thought that his brother was not the final executioner, the compatriots of those people were the real murderers.
I also hate people like his wife who say that he is a failure in everything, only as a human being will not fail.
She forgot what her life, her extravagant life, her carefree life, depended on.
Who is driving the war? Who is taking advantage of the fisherman in the war? Who is killing, who is killing humanity?
In the end, the innocent face who instigated the murder, and the righteous Ling Ran who committed the murder, was the small business and hawker who offered things to do.
Humans, after all, are nothing but higher animals, those who can always get pleasure from killing.
On this planet, human beings have been flooding and destroying like viruses. Fortunately, we still know how to kill each other.
Otherwise, I really don't know what this beautiful planet will look like for us.
Resources are always limited and population is always unlimited, so killing is inevitable, isn't it?
The Weatherman is a movie with no expansive background, just the life of a small person.
When a person reaches middle age, it basically means that a person is in a difficult journey. There are old people on the top and young people on the bottom. There are many times of embarrassment and few times of sympathy.
Everyone can't escape this process, everyone has to face a mid-life crisis, and everyone hopes to turn around at this time.
Sometimes, success can't dilute the feeling of powerlessness, success can't make us turn over completely, and success can't even make some things better.
Just think of the weatherman played by Nicolas Cage, who got the job of his dreams and can be said to be a huge success.
However, his father is dying, his wife is divorced, and his children are decadent, all of which will not improve with the success of his career.
How to do? What can be done? What should be done?
Not even God has an answer, because this is your life, this is your predicament.
From the beginning of the movie, until he took his daughter to buy clothes, I also thought he was indeed a failed husband, a failed father.
But when I saw how he dealt with his daughter's nickname, his image changed all of a sudden.
Facing his daughter's embarrassing nickname, as a father, facing this difficult problem, he handled it very well.
When he asked his daughter why others gave her such a nickname, facing her innocent and simple answer, as a father, I gave him 100 points.
There is no reprimand, no admonition, no big reason, but happy shopping, sincere praise, such a father is perfect.
When faced with his son's troubles, his performance was even more remarkable.
The man who was about to marry his ex-wife stood there and nag about his son's problems, thinking he had done him a big favor.
Christ Jesus, if I saw such a face, I would not hesitate to give him a few.
What is a father? What is a father to a son? Father is the end of all troubles.
As a father, as a man, that's what you should do, beat that guy so hard that he will find his teeth all over the place, and he will be unforgettable.
When the son learned that he would never have any trouble again and smiled happily, that reassuring expression would make all fathers feel worthwhile.
People, if you want to live in this shit life, you can't give up the right to use violence.
Violence is just a means, and sometimes this frank means is more effective and powerful than hypocritical "gentleman behavior".
There is also a very realistic place in this film, which is the quarrel between husband and wife.
The culprit that can destroy all marriages in the world must be the details, the trivial details.
The quarrel in marriage is always about this kind of contradiction in details. Because of this, all quarrels can only be an endless loop.
In the film, he forgot to buy the sauce, so he lied that it was sold out, and his wife had to call to confirm.
Such a tingling woman may drive all men in the world crazy.
Men will never understand why women value these trivialities so much.
On the other hand, after saying so many times but still forgetting, such a man will probably drive all women in the world crazy.
Women will never understand why men always ignore these trivial things.
After all, what is life? Life is trivial, and there are not many big facts that have turned the world upside down.
When people reach middle age, when the meaning of life disappears in these trivialities, all that remains is endless quarrels and endless distractions.
When we were young, our parents taught us many laws of life, laws of survival.
When we become adults ourselves, parents still have many golden rules to share with us.
However, at this time when we need the help and guidance of our parents more, the communication and understanding between the two generations has been cut off.
Perhaps this is the source of the same pain that has always been experienced from generation to generation.
Father and son, mother and daughter, the older they get, the less they can talk about, and they drift further and further away, but they are just familiar strangers.
It should be remembered that even if there are two generations with different outlooks on life and values, family is always family.
Aristocratic fathers, when they learn how their son treats the guy who bullied his grandson, will say, "Well done."
When we grow up, there will always be such and such embarrassing bitterness that we can't say it, we can only bear it alone.
Fortunately, there are still families. God has made us closely linked by blood, that is, to support each other in times of need.
So, don't waste this precious gift. In front of your family, you can remove your disguise, clean your wounds, and sleep at ease.
There are always some periods in life, just like encountering a ghost hitting a wall, no matter how you turn around, you can't get out of that mysterious cycle.
As long as there is still hope, as long as there is still motivation, as long as there is still effort, there will always be a moment when the clouds and the sun turn around.
Everyone wants to become a hero worshipped by thousands of people and a king who commands thousands of armies.
Many years have passed, when dreams are no longer magnificent and life is no longer so colorful, in the face of mid-life crisis, you can still look forward to it.
I thought, maybe that's what this movie is trying to tell us.
In other words, in the past few years, Nicolas Cage gradually did not have any particularly wonderful movies.
The splendor and splendor have become shadows of the past, but now it is cloudy and the sky is sunny.
This is a career midlife crisis.
I think he will always get out of this vicious circle in his own way, like, learning archery, trying to improve, etc.
Therefore, middle-aged is just a gentle slope in the rapids and rapids, making it difficult to see whether the front is upstream or downstream.
As long as there is ambition, as long as there is confidence to steer steadily, this slow flow will bring unexpected gains.
So, looking forward to Nicholas Cage's aftermath of this mid-life crisis.
Looking forward to his explosive work after the mid-life crisis in his career.
