"Somewhere"

This movie reminds me of watching a classic movie with my dorm friends during college! In my impression, from the very beginning, the two protagonists sat in the car and chatted easily while driving; the content of the chat was also about life trivia! Accompanied by the beautiful soundtrack, I began to immerse myself in playing with my phone and sending text messages. When I looked up suddenly, I found that my friend had already fallen asleep, and the two protagonists in the film were still driving and chatting leisurely! Later, when my friend woke up from a nap, I asked her what she thought of the movie, and she said, "It's good-looking, very charming..."

Actually, I always prefer the light and elegant, beautiful and quiet movie style, but "somewhere" just like when I was in college Just like the movie I've seen, it's not just because the pace is slow or the plot is dull and hypnotic! Originally, I had an interest in tasting and drinking slowly before watching the movie, but it was also washed away by too many redundant and tasteless detail records! The first half is too nihilistic, the male protagonist who lives a luxurious life drives dazedly, stares blankly, watches pole dancing blankly, and is at a loss as to what to do! Even if my life has been boring to the extreme, the narration of the dazed life of the male protagonist in the film makes me feel that watching this film is a waste of time!

Fortunately, the fresh and natural Fanning came on stage. From the first time she danced like an ice butterfly on the ice, she fell in love with this pure and beautiful girl! Watching Fanning glide freely on the ice accompanied by music, even if some movements are a little immature and jerky, it is still a kind of beautiful enjoyment; such pictures are worthy of the director's careful portrayal of the lens; even if there are no words and no meaning, some pictures It can still be beautiful and memorable, without feeling redundant!

The theme of the story is actually warm and beautiful, and it is easy to move people's hearts: the celebrity father who lingers in luxury and beauty, but he is patient with his daughter and has no complaints; after spending a short time with his daughter, through self-reflection, the meaning of life It's getting clearer too! But I don't want to praise this film because it is a masterpiece by a famous teacher, or won the Golden Lion Award. In boring empty, boring contrived!
