Let me talk about why this "cookie cutter" movie is so good

I looked through the movie entries hungrily for two days, and only found a good-looking love movie on the third day, this one.

There were others who couldn't enter after watching for twenty minutes, others who dragged the progress bar to watch and didn't even remember the name of the movie, and some thoughts about the plot was "Oh".

And this movie doesn't make me feel so.

So in my opinion, the film critics in the comment area said that this movie is just a response to the main theme of the American War of Care, and it is a very clichéd story. These comments are unfair to this movie.

There are a few minutes of war in the beginning of the movie. I drag the progress bar to skip it and I won’t comment. Later.

The male protagonist's gloom is not out of character

This male protagonist served in the military service three times. The state of life at the end of the war was like this: he could not stand the sound of fighting video games, and when others climbed into his bed, he would push people down, thinking about why he survived, he would feel guilty. From beginning to end, there was a face that was too calm and melancholy.

This is not a person's natural temperament, but a peculiar symptom after the end of the war.

The name of this symptom is "post-traumatic stress disorder." And not only that, this disease is a disease that was finally incorporated into the medical system after the appeal of American veterans.

When a person goes to perform tasks in a war environment for as little as a few weeks or as long as several months and years, their nerves will be tense for twenty-four hours. They need to look forward and backward when walking, and beware of sneak attacks when sleeping. There will be decompensation and there is no way to relax, so there will be such a situation as a male lead.

(The traumatic stress diagnostic criteria will require the person to recall the traumatic plot. There are no details in the film, so he is not really able to meet the diagnostic criteria. For veterans involved in war missions, other possible situations include: major depressive disorder, general anxiety , Plaza anxiety, compulsiveness, substance addiction. Basically a complete set of emotional disorders, all can be caused by war. That’s why people think that emotional disorders are actually mental illnesses of the same spectrum.)

It is easy to be suspicious of life to experience a war. For example, a loud bombardment is dangerous to life. Soldiers, poor people, and enemies can easily die, frighten, and always tense nerves.

Therefore, soldiers survived by chance and easily lose interest in life after they are discharged from the army. Some people walking on the road may always have a deep-rooted illusion that someone behind him is attacking. Some will have "flash back" (yes, this is not a movie term originally), can't figure out the memories and reality, and suddenly feel "experienced" the past scenes. Some people look at normal things and live a peaceful life, but they can only feel continuous nausea, just like the feeling that healthy people will have when they have a bad cold. Unlike a healthy person, a severe cold can be recovered within a week, and there is hope; and a disease such as depression is almost a chronic state if treatment fails, and even if it recovers, it will not fully recover.

From 22 to 23 minutes of the movie, the acting and dressing are on. The male lead raises his eyebrows when he enters the door to have tea with his grandmother. When answering the female lead's question, he looks at the lead piercingly because he feels funny. The emotional state of the male lead actor on this occasion is completely different from before and after the movie-have you found it?

As for why it is said that different emotional states are acting and piercing, you can compare the reporter who gave a speech in this TED video. He is also a major depression. He has a typical post-traumatic mask-like face. This expression does not It can be easily changed because the topic is interesting:

Although they are not sleepy, they are never awake and cannot open their eyes.

This is a typical state brought by trauma history.

Other details include that the male protagonist hesitated to explain why he came from, and felt that the country looked good and stayed directly. This is actually related to his trauma history.

America has two worlds

The next plot is that the heroine's grandmother keeps matching them. Then the heroine's ex-husband came to stop them.

This looks untrue, but in fact the United States is such a weird two worlds.

On the one hand, it can promote judicial independence, promote democracy, and promote some creeds and honors, so that the police, firefighters, and veterans can have a high social status and can always make some progressive proposals. On the other hand, its individual state laws allow child marriage, and the local judges and villagers will unite and agree to betroth raped girls to rapists, especially those who are pregnant; and some people are always trying to restore legislation prohibiting female abortion; Their parliamentarians can claim to be descendants of aliens; Christian priests and anti-gay politicians can be sodomites; in order to make democratic vote constituencies beneficial to them, they can make voters’ constituencies look like "Donald Duck Kick Goofy Dog" ",

Right American politics is so bizarre. So in the movie, as long as there is a parliamentarian father, the police ex-husband can do whatever he wants in the village.

Male Qiongyao's World View

This author and screenwriter is said to be famous for writing pure love novels, and he has a devout Christian faith. Although he is more enlightened than other American Christians is that he can accept remarriage and extramarital sex. Food sex is also, there is no repressive nature in the film. So when the heroine in the film wants the hero to break up with him, the hero said: "I just hope you have a better life." It is a very simple and simple life aspiration.

Then out of Christian faith, the author should really believe in destiny and amulets. And his character is not bad in his nature, and the heroine, grandmother and the male lead will say that others are not bad in nature. Because the Christian world view believes that if a person is bad, it is a difference in thought and temptation by the devil.

Then the rest of the world view is more preaching. For example, dying for the sacrifice of others is a precious spirit, and it is worthy of death. And because the second male is a wayward character, I believe that the author of the fate arrangement must arrange the second male to die. That is, people who think that their behavior is bad have a bad destiny. Then the cowardice of the heroine is to be punished by fate. Of course, she also has to be punished for ignorance in high school, so fate gave her a scumbag ex-husband. Of course, bad destiny can be deciphered, such as becoming brave and tolerant, understanding others and not being jealous of loving their son...

The author is also "telling" the second male's father that he will lose his son if he doesn't teach him well. Life is about to be taken back by God.

There is also an author who got a full prize and went to a local university. Before publishing the novel, he lived in a diaspora. Therefore, the male lead and female lead either go to a local university or drop out due to social factors. Their lives are very simple.

(In the movie, it is explained that the male and female protagonists are both young and unfortunate and the male protagonists are displaced. They seem to have lost their parents very early. In this case, there is no opportunity to complete college education or to go to a poor university for scholarships. In the United States Country is very common. There are even some movies that even rural children go to Berkeley Conservatory of Music to learn music can be expanded into a story. Because it is rare.)

Then many American men like a kind of soldier feeling, regardless of whether they perform real military service or not. Some are sentimental because of military service, some are because of boy scout activities abroad, and some are because of studying at a school with military characteristics.

(There are many kinds of primary and secondary schools in the United States. There are public. Private for elites. Religious and private that does not teach evolution. There are requirements for farm work. Artistic features. Emancipating nature. Special needs, such as autism, sleep disorder, dyslexia. Attention Ability barriers require special support from teaching arrangements, and there are also special special schools, which is what the singer is thinking about.)

In summary, although this story is a "beautiful love story", it is not a bad film because it puts the ins and outs very well.

This kind of film is actually very complete and true to the American country style, but it is a pity that some viewers don't know why they can't enter it.

Of course, the plot of who was killed by the wooden house is a bit of dissatisfaction to me. But I personally don't think this point needs to be deducted.

20190617 make up a picture:

The inspector of Tennessee preached that according to the Bible, gay men should be arrested and killed. Then he was suspended. So the bad police in the conservative state in the movie are really real.
