In this age of materialization, best-selling, fashion, and commerce have become trend forces. Without a clear head, people can only be swept away by the turbulent torrent. The lingering drizzle, the afternoon sun, and the dazzling starry sky have become souvenirs of the past era. Few people can quietly appreciate and analyze the true colors of life. However, there are always wise people and people who think about the meaning of life, and these people will convey the gospel of God to the world in a calm and sad way. Sophia Coppola, the director of the film "In", is probably such a person.
The film is real and plain, just like life itself. As a Hollywood superstar, Johnny has the enviable reputation and wealth of the world, but he has been in Vanity Fair for many years, but he leads a little-known sluggish life: drinking drunk at parties, falling down the stairs; night; night The night is hypnotized by the dance of the pole girl; has an affair with different women anytime and anywhere, but can't remember the name and appearance of the other party... Is Johnny satisfied with this kind of life? Sophia Coppola just used a straightforward lens to quietly express: Johnny is worried about the harassment text messages of some extreme fans all day, always worried about paparazzi or crazy fans following when he goes out, and is extremely tired of the established schedule. Disgusted, even in the short gap between modeling and passionate moments of sex, I can dream deeply. This is the honorable life after the success and fame that has made countless people dream of. The ignorant ordinary people always think that being a master, achieving outstanding achievements, gaining a noble status, and making others look up to jealousy is all happiness. Just as we work day by day, thinking that money can bring us a comfortable life, we don't know that we have long lost the original intention of enjoying happiness in the pursuit of fame and fortune.
People come naked and return in emptiness. The time between life and death is only a hundred years, and in the emptiness we are just looking for something called happiness. In the face of happiness, we are all blind. What an elephant is, I am afraid that no one can make a conclusion. Johnny is lucky to have an eleven-year-old cunning daughter. This sweet girl, Cleo, has many traditional virtues. The divorce of her parents did not distort her personality. On the contrary, in the short time with her father, she always melted Johnny's loneliness and hardship with a bright and sunny smile. heart of. This is a gentle and considerate girl: when Johnny is anxious and upset about the tracker, she calmly comforts her father; when Johnny goes to accept the award and lacks a female companion, she will change into a simple and gorgeous little dress to hold her father gently When Johnny gets tired and lazy, she quietly cooks breakfast and waits for her father... This is a versatile girl: she can dance classical and elegant ballet, and the light dance when figure skating is like flying angels; she likes music, She is a little better when playing video and guitar with Johnny; she loves sports, and when Johnny lives in the luxurious presidential suite and is bored, she swims like a fish in the pool... From Johnny's calm and indifferent smile In the past, we may be able to know the beauty that we have lost in the past years, and have a deeper understanding and thinking about happiness.
This is a film that is more like life than life. It completely discards the stereotypes of the story. It has a calm style similar to life everywhere. There is no part called climax. But in the slow and delicate progress of the lens, we are always always Can feel the gripping tension, which is similar in style to some of Eric Rohmer's works, in the famous "Four Seasons Story" series and "Asterley and Serrado's Love" and other works , There is a kind of quiet power. And the most shocking part of "In" is that Susan's silent tears on the way to the summer camp, Johnny feels distressed when he sees the painful and distorted face of his sensible and considerate daughter, and learns that his daughter has no home because he does not know the date of his wife’s return. When he was in tears of security and sadness, Johnny began to reflect on his lifestyle and tried to reconcile with his wife. It's just that destiny is always joking with us, the wife still has the freedom that cannot be abandoned, and life will never be fulfilled.
The end of the film is quite meaningful. Johnny decided to change his lifestyle, sold the mansion in the city, drove around the bustling city to the inaccessible countryside, and finally abandoned the car and walked towards the vast front... This is the same as when the film started, Johnny The scene of driving a luxury sports car on the racing track over and over again forms a very meaningful contrast. Are you willing to struggle and show off in vain amidst the billowing dust, or are you willing to live an ordinary and peaceful life away from the hustle and bustle? Where is life? Director Sofia Coppola actually tells a lot in this silent film.
