Dongmu's "stubborn old man" image can only shine in his own movies

7.0 points. I thought it was a film directed and acted by Dongmu, but I felt that the style was too relaxed and not quite right. However, with the "father-daughter match" between him and Amy Adams, I still happily finished watching it. After the ending subtitles came out, the director really was another person. In the past, I always thought that the old man's movies were calm but without major breakthroughs. Now it seems that this has become his personal symbol, and others can't imitate it.

When the old man is old, he likes to portray some "stubborn old man" images, such as the boxing coach in "Million Dollar Baby" and the "old man" in "Classic Cars". I don't know what his personality is, I just think he is here. The performances in the two films are like acting themselves. Both roles are old, stubborn and predictable, like martial arts masters, but at the same time they are both withdrawn and unloved by their children.

In "The Curve Problem", he also portrayed the image of such an old man, which can be said to be copied from those two characters: he has bad eyesight when he is old, he is one of the best baseball scouts in the United States, and he is not very good. When dealing with the relationship between herself and her daughter, the daughter is also afraid to talk to him, but for some reason she always feels that this formula is the original formula, but the taste is not the original one. In other words, the image of this old man always lacks meaning and is not full enough. .

After thinking about it, I got an answer, because "The Curve Dilemma" is not his own work. Maybe only his filming style can hold this image. Only he can know what image he can play, how he should play, and who he should play with. Apart from that, I can't find any other answers.
