The master's comeback may not always be answered immediately, and there are also a few who are stuck in the temple with a boot as soon as they leave the customs. Old Coppola falls into this category.
What I can only understand is that when people get older, their philosophical speculations become stronger, but their ability to express them deteriorates. Obviously, the old Coppola has been more obsessed with oriental metaphysics recently. So I wrote a Hollywood version of the story of "Zhuang Gong Meng Butterfly". It's actually very easy to make a movie that people can't understand these days, but it's probably easier to make people wonder if they already understand. For example, adding rejuvenation, schizophrenia, Nazis, Lao Tzu, Zhuang Tzu, Indian Buddhism, Egyptian mythology, and reincarnation in a movie is a frightening panic?
In fact, it's just a half-broken old man daydreaming with his unfinished novel. Is it that simple? No, so before the movie fades out, a close-up of the date of birth on an old man's passport is given to give some wiggle room to the drama of the movie.
Romania is a place for Americans to imagine, home to vampires and werewolves, and where most dragon breeds originate. Now, here are other oddities. A 70-year-old man is in critical condition after being struck by lightning in the street. After being rescued, it was found that Lei had split him back to his old age. In the process of constantly retrieving his original memory, we found that he was a linguist who knew all the languages in the world, as well as the ancient languages that have been lost.
Then he meets a woman who looks a lot like his young lover and rescues her from a car accident, where the prince and princess should live happily ever after. But the woman is not alone, she is not alone, she is not alone! ! ! ! ! ! ! (Be quiet, in the middle of the night, and my surname is not Huang). Whenever night falls, Buddhist sages, Egyptian kobolds, and reincarnated souls are possessed by souls at this moment! ...
forget it, the whole story is more like a Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings chapter anyway. This is not important, the important thing is that the whole story is convoluted but not good-looking. For Orientals, the philosophical trap is not high, and it has not succeeded in reducing the intelligibility of the story, thus exposing the regression of narrative ability.
The bad movie that belongs to the master, the audience who prefer to watch the master make a fool can pay attention.
PS: There is a monologue in Ratatouille, which can be shared, and the gist is as follows: In many cases, the job of the critic is simple. We take little risk, and we enjoy the lofty stance of being free to critique filmmakers and their films. We criticize recklessly, without scruples and grandstanding. But we have to face the fact that, in many cases, even a mediocre trash movie, by itself, may be more meaningful than our criticism of it. (Here, "movie" is used instead of "dish" in the original text, and I have watched it for a long time, and it is translated from English into French. The content is inaccurate, and the general idea is that.)
