Speaking of mania healing movies, the first thing that comes to mind is "The Line of Happiness Behind the Dark Clouds": The only way you can beat my crazy was by doing something crazy yourself. , Is much larger.
The male protagonist Davis played by Jack Gyllenhardt is a decent financial elite who works in an investment company founded by his father-in-law. He and his wife Julia were in a car accident, and his wife died, but he himself was unscathed. The male protagonist is not distressed, and refuses other people's care, but his behavior has become crazy and strange. When he wrote to complain about the vending machine, he began to confide his life to the other customer's customer service. This customer service is the heroine Karen played by Naomi Watts. She is a single mother who is dating the boss, has a rebellious 12-year-old son, Chris, and has a habit of taking drugs. Therefore, the male protagonist who has always closed himself to his parents and parents-in-law, but opened his heart to the unfamiliar mother and child. On the contrary, Karen and her son also found themselves in the warm, violent or absurd interactions with the male protagonist. I found that writing the introduction of this movie doesn't have to worry about spoilers at all, because even if the spoilers are, it will not affect the movie-watching experience. The English name of the
destruction
movie is "Demolition", which specifically refers to the number of destructive acts of demolishing buildings. Translated into "broken", it is actually a little angry. Therefore, the second half of the film is full of scenes of smashing, smashing, dismantling, dismantling, including a refrigerator, a computer, a toilet, two houses, and many things that the male protagonist wants to destroy. When I watched it, I really gave the crew of the prop art to squeeze the sweat...
destroy it. For those trapped in the cage, it is the only relief. And the death of the wife (Julia) of the male protagonist (Davis), like a shock, opened the demolition project of this lifeless house.
lie
What is the object of destruction? It is hypocrisy and lies that bind people. The male protagonist’s home is flashy, especially his father-in-law’s home. He concealed his occupation from the uncle on the train, only subconsciously lying. He said that he did not look down on careers such as sales assistants, but in fact he thought that being a customer service hostess (Karen) was not a serious job at all. A scholarship student who chooses one from a hundred miles, secretly molested the heroine with low to explosive language. The male host’s wife had an affair and knocked out the child, so she concealed it from her husband for a year. The movie portrays the pain caused by lies is particularly delicate and true. It does not use specific karma to educate everyone not to lie, but it can be seen that everyone is withering and declining under the mask. The tension that
released the
collapse began to gather quickly from Julia's death, and then began to release when the heroine's son (Chris) was beaten and dying. Chris’s face has been completely renewed, from a hormonal agitated teenager to a thoughtful and delicate little warm man. During this period, the male bishop used the F word correctly, led him to play with guns and smashed the house (this paragraph was too climax), and appreciated his The artistic cell supports him to face his true self. The hostess learned to separate underwear and socks. The mysterious man in the RV finally dared to come out and say his identity. After being a demolition hero for more than an hour, the male lead repaired the carousel by the sea, took the initiative to talk to his father-in-law, and realized his wife's love for him. He shaved off his beard, adjusted the alarm clock from 5:30 to 7:30, and abandoned the treadmill to start running outdoors. No matter how manic or crazy the process is, the essence of salvation is tantamount to frankness, forgiveness, and love.
The relationship between
the film's highlights is that male owners and female controls actually did not go to bed. They are two patients, one lives through hardships by taking drugs, and the other is numb under the appearance of vanity. They are like snow monkeys catching lice in hot springs in the ice and snow, and they cherish each other. There must be an attraction between the two sexes in this relationship, but it seems to be hidden by something bigger. So under the condition of abandoning the domineering protagonist of the love line, the film can explore more relationships: husband and wife, parent-child, friend, stranger, each relationship is well portrayed, like a Sichuan dish, which is a fusion of sweet, sour, salty and spicy. , The taste is very full.
The male protagonist is really indifferent to save. He doesn't care about the people and things around him, and he blocks himself. After his wife passed away, his father-in-law asked him to talk, and he changed the subject. His parents came to accompany him, and he didn't care at all. When the vending machine is stuck, some people think of not kicking, but writing to the company, and then they can't stop talking about it. People who are alone in a foreign country can especially experience this kind of situation where they are usually suffocated and become chatter at the first opportunity.
My classmate Umbrella and I had an argument about the relationship between the protagonist and his wife. There is no doubt that a wife loves her husband, but what about the husband to his wife? Umbrella felt that the male protagonist finally confessed to his father-in-law that he and Julia had loved him, but he still wasn't very interested. But I think he repaired the carousel by the sea after all, and invited his father-in-law to play, because his wife likes the sea and the carousel. Davis should indeed love Julia.
Metaphors are
just like what the male protagonist himself said, he noticed many things that he hadn't discovered before, maybe it was a metaphor of life. This movie is indeed full of metaphors, such as beating and smashing, such as snow monkey bathing in hot springs, such as a company that only enters and exits with numbers.
The sound
effects and editing of the sound film are simply superb. I think that if there is only sound, the drama can come out without dialogue. The soundtrack sets off the plot very well, the piano music on Julia's car, the heavy metal when smashing things, the waltz by the sea. The background sound effects: the sound of braking, the sound of smashing things, and the sound of trains are precisely edited into another set of rhythmic music. After the car accident, the hero returned home and never said a word until he wrote to the vending machine company. During this period, he ate, took a bath, received his parents, and attended the funeral, all in a silent state. It was indeed silent at this time.
