Ferrari, beauty and loneliness

The dullness at the beginning is doomed to be a slow-paced film that tests patience. Like many European films, it can easily drive the restless. If you're a mentally healthy, carefree person, it's hard to understand Johnny's state of mind. With these kinds of films, I've developed a habit of quick browsing and basically just watching the dialogue. The slow rhythm just expresses the state of the character, more clearly. For a quasi-mental patient like me, it may be difficult to understand healthy people, but it is not too difficult to understand abnormal.

Johnny is supposed to be a carefree person. All but a complete family. Fame, status, money, beauty, everything. Especially the beauty, which is updated almost every day. Let us envious of us who have been in sexual repression for a long time. But in the end he cried. This may be just a momentary emptiness after leaving his daughter, or it may be the result of a long-term boring life, in any case, he does not feel the happiness of life. Only when he is with his daughter can he see the sincerity and happiness in his eyes. At other times, he was like an old man wearing a mask, with only loneliness in his eyes.

Finally checked out and drove away, wondering if he could find the way?

    The long process from circle to straight line

    severely underestimated. On mise-en-scène and occupation, it is almost a genre film. Coppola shoots a mise-en-scene system in which "stars" exist as a "job", either intangible or tangible, and exposes its nihilistic nature and the process of collapse. , because we don't care about the name "Johnny Marco", do we? When the characters in the film warmly greet him (here Coppola even repeats a few motifs from Lost in Translation), we can only laugh indifferently: he's not Al Pacino, he's nothing, But Coppola shot him just right, trying to restore his image.

Somewhere quotes

  • Johnny Marco: What's that book about again?

    Cleo: It's about this girl that's in love with this guy. But he's a vampire, and his whole family's vampires. So she can't really be with him.

    Johnny Marco: Why doesn't she become one too?

    Cleo: doesn't she become one too? Cleo: Because she can't. He doesn't want to turn her into a vampire. And if she gets too close to him, he won't be able to help himself.

    Johnny Marco: Oh, man.

  • Johnny Marco: Whoa! What the fuck, dude?

    Ron the Masseur: Oh. Did they not tell you how I work?

    Johnny Marco: No.

    Ron the Masseur: I have a website that explains my technique. I feel that if my client's naked, it's just more comfortable if I meet them at the same level.

    Johnny Marco: Yeah, it's - it's not for me. Thanks, though. Why don't you just pack it up.

    Ron the Masseur: Alright.

    Ron the Masseur: [after putting his clothes back on] S'sorry about that.

    Johnny Marco: Nah, it's cool.
