It's been a long time since I encountered such a good five-star film. The last film I was stuck in and couldn't get out of was "Manchester by the Sea". The narration of the two films is somewhat similar.
There is also an unforgettable past. One struggles to get out but fails again, and the other falls into it and refuses redemption.
The film's past and present dual narrative. Little by little, expand the background of the story. Every demon lives in the environment that created it.
For Eric, the alcoholic and violent father, the seriously ill and indifferent mother, the ubiquitous bully, and the teacher's scorn. This cold world gave him only a friend with bad behavior. He is cruel and evil, but he is the only one who faces your existence, and he is the only one who communicates with you. How could Eric, who was almost isolated from the world, refuse.
The friend who guides Eric into the abyss as the incarnation of evil. Isn't it like Eric, who was oppressed by this world step by step to the end, an unfortunate childhood, a brother who raped him, how could there be angels in such an environment.
We blame them for being demons without giving them an environment in which to grow into angels.
The deepest feeling after reading it is not the debate between good and evil, but the sadness of fate. The environment in which we were born determines most of our lives. Our past is something we can't get rid of.
Even with our best efforts, the past is still everywhere.
After being released from prison, Jack can be described as a model of positive energy. He works hard and blends in with the crowd. His careful love and wholehearted love for his girlfriend will touch anyone.
And the little girl he saved with that knife.
In the past, he used a simple knife to steal the name of an innocent girl. People call him the devil.
Today, he saved the life of a cute girl with a simple knife. People call him an angel.
Everyone agrees that angels are always good and demons are always evil. People hated him tenfold with a few words in the press. With just a few words in the press, I pay tenfold tribute to him.
But whether it's Jack or Eric, they're just in their environment, doing what they're driven to do by their environment.
The reformed Jack tried his best to be a good person. Give kindness to the world that treats him kindly.
Eric, who is inferior and withdrawn, tries his best to keep the only friend the world gives him. Give malice to the world that gave him malice.
An angel, a devil.
Moreover, in life, no one is contaminated with good and evil. Terry, who treats Jack like a loving father, is a failed father. The dissatisfaction of his biological son with his father is the root cause of Jack's no way out.
I like the last scene of the movie the most, the letter from the little girl gave Jack the last consolation. In my whole life, I took the life of an innocent girl and saved a life, and it can be regarded as a debt to the world.
It was this letter that gave Jack, who had been blaming himself for always regretting the past, a trace of comfort.
As movie spectators, we are easily infected, and we shed tears of sympathy for Jack.
In real life, who can accept Jack without any grudges?
Jack has nowhere to go.
Finally, as a Garfield stubborn fan, I always thought that Garfield's acting was weird, maybe it was "99 Homes" (Garfield really can't play a bad guy! From this point of view, 99 Homes is also super suitable for Garfield) left. Impression, leading to "Blood Battle Hacksaw Ridge" and "Silence" watching Garfield act like an angel in everything he has in mind.
This is mainly an angel-like Jack, but I really feel Garfield's delicate performance, and the best actor deserves it! ! !
In the end, I really like Garfield's films, except for the two commercial Spider-Man, each of which is profound and sad. Powerless, helpless.
The last last nympho Garfield's ocean eyes! Indulge in Garfield's face all the way!
Looking forward to Angels in America!
