The location and background of the story are extremely simple, a pair of not-so-ordinary brothers and sisters in an ordinary town. Brother Benny works in a car repair shop. He is decent and responsible. He takes care of his sister in every possible way. There is a sense of possessiveness), and the younger sister is pure and lovely, but she is not normal, and occasionally going crazy will make people retreat.
Depp played another man with a bit of intelligence, wearing a small top hat and leaning on a small cane. Despite his strange costumes and grotesque behavior, his eyes were so clear and almost transparent that he couldn't stop him. He is the housekeeper of sister Joon after losing a bet with the man in town.
So we saw such a ridiculous and whimsical picture.
Use two forks with two pieces of bread to imitate Donald Duck walking, use an electric iron to concentrate on making butter toast, stand on the sofa as if skating and hold a broom to sweep around the house, and make it all the time His funny actions are much like Chaplin alive, but they are simpler and unbelievable.
With such a man by his side, wouldn't it be like a paradise, no matter how real and boring the world is, it will become shining and full of dreams because of him.
Therefore, my sister fell in love with him without any suspense, or that the two belonged to the people who were rejected by this normal world fell in love, still remembering that they were breathing and snuggling under the warm quilt, one trembling. Saying, I...I love you, and the other one replied cautiously,...me too. It's like a baby bird with a new-born eggshell, which can finally flutter its wings and hobble and fly. That's how it feels.
Seeing this, we all feel that this is the best ending for the two of them. They support each other and tolerate each other. Just like Gwynplan and Di in "The Laughing Man", they both bear the cruel imprint of life, but It is also because of this imprint that each other is the most suitable person in the world, which is not a great fortune.
However, the fairy tale atmosphere before the story began to burst from here.
The elder brother couldn't believe that the younger sister actually got better with this "first-class mental retardation". The reason may come from caring, or it may come from the selfishness that is deeply hidden, who knows. Just like we often use legitimate reasons to stop a relationship, or an accident, wearing a high-sounding mask, but not dare to explore the deepest lusts in our hearts.
After being driven out of the house by Benny, Sam, played by Depp, tried to elope with Joon but caused Joon’s mental illness on the bus. It was so serious that two medical staff forced him into an ambulance, and then entered the isolation forbidden area, leaving only Give brother Benny a cold back.
The ending is pretty good. Depp once again demonstrated his invincible creativity and childlike innocence. The two happy little people finally happily toasted bread with an iron and hugged each other tightly.
So I returned to fairy tales again.
To be honest, this kind of film is very pleasing to watch, because it is too romantic, and the cruelty of romance that should have disappeared, only immersed in poetry and dreams. However, occasionally the sledgehammer of reality quietly stuck out his head and gave a heavy blow, telling us that things were not as complete as imagined, but they were not completely realistic, and they did not hesitate to leave hope.
The title is "benny&Joon", but this is not a movie about brother and sister relationship. In my opinion, what is more important is how normal people accept the life and love of a special group. Perhaps bystanders can make tolerant decisions effortlessly, but if you are a directly related person, how can you overcome some selfish thoughts in your heart and be brave? Letting go, but it's very difficult.
In fact, as far as the film itself is concerned, it is truly a paradise. Those real problems should be avoided and the focus of contradiction should be focused on human tolerance, so that we finally believe that the world is beautiful and simple.
But what's so bad about this.
I can't believe that anyone has eyes more pure and clear than Depp, and let us hide under that bright, think about the happy days of smashing mashed potatoes and running with a hat forever.
How long can we have?
Or we never have it.
