I like watching movies. Through movies, you can see a world you have never seen before, and experience a life that you cannot experience. I think this is what movies bring us. As for whether movies can become an art like painting, sculpture, writing, and music, after all, it has only appeared for more than 100 years, and the first few must be juniors, so let’s leave time to give the answer.
The front is to write a small quote, because after all, this is my long film review. Oh maybe this can't be called a movie review after it's finished, even if it's a little bit of what I wrote after watching this movie, a little bit of insight, it's a 2-hour life after my comeback on a certain afternoon in March 2018. record once. I hope that I can write as professionally as possible in the future, and slowly develop in the direction of film reviews. In fact, I have always wanted to write a movie review before, and this time it has come true.
I would like to tell the story of the film first: the film is about a restructured family and a literature who worked part-time on the island during the summer of the 1950s in the Coney Island tourist resort in Brooklyn, New York, USA. A love story of a professional college student. The heroine Ginny divorces her ex-husband and takes a troubled 7/8-year-old boy; to make a living she chooses to marry Humpty, who runs the carousel rides she doesn't love. Ordinary days lived like this, until one day, the appearance of two people broke the originally peaceful life. Carolina, the daughter of Humpty and his former wife, suddenly came to defect to them. It turned out that she married an underworld figure when she was young and ignorant. Later, the two fell out. She told the police about his husband's criminal activities and is now being chased. kill. The days when life had just barely passed, and now another person suddenly appeared, made it even more chaotic. Humpty had been extremely resentful of what happened to her daughter back then, but it's been relieved after many years. Instead, it is for her to attend night school, hoping that she will have a future and find a good family to marry. Ginny's difficult life for many years has left her suffering from migraine headaches, coupled with Carolina who may cause trouble at any time, and a troubled son who often gets him in trouble (plays with fire), so she has no idea about her current life and marriage. Very depressed, life is driving him crazy. One rainy day, she met Mickey when she was relaxing by the sea, He is young, handsome and romantic. The two have a lot in common. They talk about life, movies, literature, and performances. Mickey seems to understand Ginny's dream of being an actor when he was young, so the two quickly fell into a passion, and began to have an affair and have a relationship. . Ginny's dissatisfaction with the current life seems to have been forgotten by Mickey. There is a flame of hope in life, and she even fantasizes about going to the dreamland he described. But something unexpected happened. Once she and Carolina met Mickey on their way home, and in the three or two conversations, Mickey and Carolian seemed to be in love with each other, which made Ginny jealous. Sure enough, after several encounters, Mickey and Carolina became emotional, and the relationship between Ginny and Mickey didn't seem to be what it used to be. Ginny is in a difficult situation and she doesn't know what to do. Forget about Mickey and continue to live the original life, but the flame of hope has been rekindled, how can I be willing to extinguish it; continue to walk a tightrope with Mickey, but Mickey doesn't seem to like her anymore and turn to Carolina; Showdown to Mickey, the two fly away, she chooses this , but Mickey couldn't stand her extreme love. The story reached a climax, the enemy family came, Ginny saw them go to C, and hurriedly called to inform her, who was dating Mickey, to leave. But after calling the pizza shop, he stopped abruptly and hung up. . . Carolina was taken away, and her father, Humoty, was extremely angry and annoyed. Even more disappointed was Mickey, Ginny dressed up, not knowing whether to celebrate or go crazy, when Mickey knocked on the door and came in. Ginny fantasized about winning and Mickey was begging to come back to her, but it was the exact opposite. Mickey knew about it, came to ask the truth, blamed Ginny, and broke up (or left completely). Ginny collapsed, and finally Humpty, who had finished drinking, came back and seemed to be all right; as always, he comforted Ginny casually, and asked her if she went fishing on Labor Day, Ginny refused, and the last scene was her son playing with fire again In the picture, it seems that life together has returned to the original point. Caronlian has never been here, Mickey has never appeared, Humpty only cares about lottery tickets and fishing, but can Ginny's heart still have the same hope of rekindling as before, or is he completely dead. Don't break up (or leave altogether).

Write a few points, because I haven't checked too much information, most of them are my own feelings, I hope you can discuss if you are interested, there is no need to spray each other, easyeasy.
1. Why the film is called "Ferris Wheel" can be imagined for many reasons, what symbolizes that life is rolling forward, time is fleeting, people are not there, life is a repetition of Ferris wheel and so on. I think it's actually the mark of the era of Coney Island at that time, tourism, amusement parks, hot dogs, and actually the carousel is also okey. But we are willing to give it more meaning, there is no problem, everyone has ideas. There is no right or wrong, it
’s just a different understanding When I watched "Youth", the color grading of some films in the Republic of China was similar; the colors were bright and bright, the pictures were clean and clear, with a sense of the times, which was completely different from the clean tones of modern idol dramas.
3. In the end, the dialogue between Ginny and Mickey is like a stage play, and the lighting of the movie is also so cooperative. I remember in the film Ginny also said that his real life is just acting, he has been playing a role, but not really living. Finally the lights dimmed and Mickey left, wondering if Ginny could return to his real life.
4. Richie's strange problem seems to be set to promote the development of the movie's plot. Such a setting is not realistic to be sprayed to death in a Chinese movie, but it feels a bit possible in the United States (who made them There are many possibilities.)
5. Mickey's narration is also a clever move to promote the progress of the movie. I just want to give the movie some special feeling. After all, a single-round story is still a bit monotonous and not so attractive. Life
6. After watching After that, he didn't seem to want to blame anyone, and he didn't know who to blame. Or you don't have to complain at all;
7. Finally, a thought, can movies guide our lives? ?

Wonder Wheel quotes

  • [first lines]

    Mickey: [narrating] Coney Island, 1950's. The beach, the boardwalk. Once a luminous jewel, but growing relentlessly seedier as the tides roll in and out. Summers I work here on Bay 7. Comes the fall, I'm a student at New York University going for my Master's in European drama. I'm Mickey Rubin. Poetic by nature. I harbor dreams of being a writer. A writer of truly great plays, so I can one day surprise everyone and turn out a profound masterpiece.

    Mickey: [to the camera] Anyhow. Let me get to the story in which I am a character, so, be warned, as a poet, I use symbols, and as a budding dramatist, I relish melodrama and larger-than-life characters. Enter Carolina...

  • Mickey: [narrating] The kid makes fires. And not such little ones. He played hooky from summer school and even made fires on the beach where it's forbidden. What the hell does the kid see when he just stares into the flames? Is it the eternal power of the universe? The conversion of mass into energy? The Furies at work? Whatever his motive, it is not appreciated.
