watched "The Lobster" and it wasn't as good as I expected, which may be related to my own dislike of illusory things. Woody Allen's "The Unreasonable" is also in the bag. In the previous article, among the seven unbelievably beautiful films, the only ones to look forward to seeing are Dolan's "Just the End of the World" and the Coen Brothers' "Long Live Caesar". There is an illusion that life is about to be fulfilled.
I don't know if there are people who like chatter movies as much as I do, "Coffee and Cigarettes", "Annie Hall", "North Village Direction", "Love in" trilogy, etc. I love the seriousness of people in movies talking about something seriously. appearance. In "Pulp Fiction", Vincent and Jules are still talking about irrelevant topics such as burgers, drugs, women, the Bible, foot massage and so on. .
Wordpress Jesse Eisenberg's new film "Travel's End" is also a chatter film, two men, a journey of five days and four nights, they talk about sex and female stars, marriage and life, drugs and TV, Fame and Presence. All the topics are my love, and the performances of the two actors are impeccably comfortable.
Imagine that you are a writer who has written several books and is still unknown, and sitting in front of you is a famous writer who has written amazing works. What he has now is exactly what you dreamed of, and he doesn't even know it. For five days and four nights, you drank, smoked, and talked about life and everything about it, and it was an amazing journey into the lives of others.
I like the writer David Foster Wallace played by Jason Segel very much. He is frank, shy, kind and pure. He lives in a small city. He is single, 34 years old, and has a social circle of more than 20 people. , writing, dancing and watching TV occupy most of his life, and keep a peaceful heart to life. Compared with Jesse Eisenberg's Rolling Stones reporter with a clear purpose, he is more like a simple writer who is famous, insightful but not offensive, and feels lonely and anxious about everything that fame brings. .
"When you're used to the obscurity of your work, as a self-respecting human race, we console ourselves by following a rule. The irony is that if one of your works sells, you'll find out The rules of believing when a work doesn't work doesn't apply anymore. So if your next work isn't successful, you're screwed, you can't win the game."
I think of a very real everyday life while watching a movie. Experience, we often imagine the lives of those great writers, and always feel that there must be many events that are different from ordinary people, which is why their works are unique. And many times, we may be wrong. They may live ordinary lives, and they may also indulge in TV shows, fantasize about female stars, and even fear marriage.
And such a state of ordinary people with no selling point is obviously unattractive, just like Jesse Eisenberg said, "People don't read a 1,000-page book written by an ordinary person, people read it because of the author of the book. He's a genius, and people expect him to be a genius."
And what makes great writers great is that they recognize the mundane aspects of life early and enjoy it. And this is a fact that the general public will take a great deal of effort to accept. We are eager to leave, eager to be earth-shattering, and unwilling to live ordinary lives. Only in the end, perhaps like Jesse Eisenberg, will realize what real life is like.
"When I look back on this journey, I see David and I in the front seat of the car, we were so young. He wanted something better, and I wanted what he already had. We both feel a sense of life Very lost. This feeling smells like tobacco and soda and smoke.
If I could, I would like to tell David that the time I spent with him reminded me of what life should really be like and not seek it out Relief. Realizing that makes me feel less alone."
