It deserves Five characters, if you pay attention, you will find that each character has a background explanation, scattered with different fragments of the film. The heroine, who is always mentioned, was born in a depression, tough, and sensible. The little boy, still very young, is mostly a product of his surroundings. Little girl, rebellious period. Big girl, paranoid artist. The man is also a storyteller. His job is to repair cars and houses, but he also likes pottery. And it also indirectly tells about his wife. By compiling these five tasks together, the screenwriter tells the story calmly, allowing us to feel mother and son, growth, and different lives. Interspersed with some episodes of time, so that the characters can be combined with the background of the entire era, so that we can imagine what that era was like. Because what he wants people to perceive is the woman of the 20th century.
As movie watchers, we just passively accept the stories of these five characters, and we only feel that the stories are very natural. However, if you think about it, the screenwriter imagined these five people out of thin air and compiled them together, and you will feel that the screenwriter is really amazing. The characters are captured so representatively and the story so delicate.
There is also a very impressive point. At the beginning, I didn't know why the heroine began to describe his future life when it was almost the end. It wasn't until the end of several characters that I started to describe them, and I didn't understand that this was to allow us to understand their future, but only to reveal the key, so we could have our own imagination.
In the end, when the mother dyed her son's hair, the imagination of love expressed by the mother, I think it is also very delicately arranged. You can see what he's describing in his next life, is it because she was born in the Great Depression with her typical character that kept him from getting that kind of love in this life? And you can see that he still has a yearning for love. See also the progress of the mother-child relationship.
In addition, the screenwriter Gao Ming is also that, although there are five characters, you can feel that the mother is the absolute heroine. I don't know why, but I just feel it. Perhaps what the screenwriter wants to express can best be expressed through her. Doing what a man should do, being a single mother, being sensible, maybe confident, starting to embrace the new things the times bring, listening to rock. . .
In addition, the whole film is also very good, and the last scene where the boy is holding the car and skateboard is really beautiful. All shots are beautiful. This one just fits the bill, it's not terrific, but it's good.
In fact, making a good movie is just a few factors, I understand a little, why so many directors can't do it. When can we see a movie like this. Maybe we won't see it. After all, our genes are different, and we have our own characteristics. Blame myself for being too corrupted.
In short, it's just a movie that feels very different from the title, delicate and wonderful.
