Almost every character in the film is exaggerated, peculiar and shocking: the sloppy grandmother, the autistic little boy, the dog who can't stop barking at the train, the three strange sister flowers, the square mafia (especially the mafia). This, too cult too shocking), strange ships, fat and stupid people in the city, etc., and so on. The other is the wonderful imagination of those dark departments: the grandmother uses a vacuum cleaner to relax the muscles for her grandson, and the puppy is used as a wheel; fried frogs and tadpoles eat sister flowers (this is too heavy), these wonderful imaginations make people. Dazzling. There is also the ruthless irony of the American steel city and the sensuality of Hollywood: the fat Statue of Liberty holding a hamburger, the crowd on the street with bloated bodies and numb expressions, and the money tycoons who gather together for gambling and entertainment... All for this The endless mockery of an industrial empire.
Compared with the dazzling art style and visual impact, the story of the film seems a little weak. You can guess the end when you see the beginning. There are not too many surprises, and it is a little mediocre. Fortunately, the film's restraint on the emotional handling of the characters, the grandmother and the little boy will always have a calm expression when going through all these storms. This restrained emotional expression endows this simple and absurd story with a torrent-like moving power. .
