Spider Mike, the drug dealer, the neighbor of the "cook", has a dirty sex fanatic girlfriend. Their neighbor is a strange lesbian. In this neighbourhood full of hallucinations caused by drugs, there is also the Bee Fries, and his dear mother weighs 400 pounds. Bee Fries indulges in death metal, video games, and convenience food. The poor child attracted the attention of two villain police officers and was caught by them.
Spider Mike introduces Ross to the "chef" who made drugs to deliver the goods in exchange for drugs. His first task was to send Nikki and her dog, a dog that turned green from inhaling drug fumes, to the pet hospital. After that... the sky is spinning, the ecstasy is dying, and the three-day psychedelic life begins...
[Guessing the train in the United States? ]
The propaganda banner played by the publisher is "Guessing the Train" in the United States, and there are too many similar anti-drug movies. Just think about it and Aronofsky's famous "Requiem of Dreams". The same dirty, the same nervous camera, the same tranced people. The film was shot in Oregon, but it was set in California-no wonder, California is the home of psychedelists.
At first, the film was rated R by the MPAA because of "in-depth drug content, strong pornography, vulgarity, and violence." However, probably because of such a rating, it still needs to be edited again, and the publisher's New Market finally chose an indeterminate rating for release.
At the premiere, Mina Suvari gave this movie--perhaps all other anti-drug movies a bright meaning: "I think it is necessary to show the dangers of drugs." But who can make it clear? Is it the danger of drugs, or is the tendency to try another dark and different life more attractive to people to watch such movies? However, the director kept showing sympathy for these people who abandoned their lives in the eyes of Rose's "normal" girlfriend Aimi. Throughout the film, Rose is trying to return to this girl, but it seems absurd that he can never go back. Is this a metaphor? It was the compassionate gaze in Aimi's eyes that showed the sadness and despair of this group of exiles.
[Music Video]
When talking about why he came back to film "Spin and Earth", Mickey Locke, who had appeared in "9 and a half weeks" and "Body Heat", said that this was the idea of his agent because His agent likes director Jonas Akrond's MTV work very much. This is Jonas Akrond’s film debut. His previous reputation was mainly due to filming music videos. Famous works include Madonna’s "Ray of Light" and the controversial "Smack my bitch" filmed for Prodigy. "up", and "Beautiful" shot for Aguilena and so on. No wonder, at the premiere, Aguilena came to join him in person. This film is also the first work of two screenwriters. The comments have a lot of ills on the script. Even the actor Requezamo thinks that Akrond can control such a script to show extraordinary skill.
The film itself is full of MTV aesthetics, and this film even made it into this year's Guinness Book of World Records, because the entire film has a total of 5,345 stunning editing shots. Akrond's reputation has also won the praise of Billy Cogan, the original singer of Smashing Pumpkins, and he is pleased to produce all the music for the film. His fragile and trance-like music, together with the neurotic hysterical scenes, presents a sense of dazed apocalypse. Or it should be said that the nerve space constructed by those drugs is another world that we cannot understand. In that world, there is only psychedelic and rotation.
Even the center of the comments was the director’s MTV shooting experience. Some commented that this is an example of MTV directors being able to make a good movie, while some commented on the MTV style of the film, and different people have different opinions.
[Psychedelic party? ]
It seems that the director is indeed very popular, the film has attracted many popular actors, and it is said that the pay is low. In "American Beauty", Mina Suvari, an angel and demon in the same body, lies in the bathtub this time without rose petals, only dirty slime-like water, but she thinks this theme is very attractive to her, very unusual Life can make her mouth full of dirt, her face full of excessive exhaustion, wandering around in dirty pajamas like walking dead. In "8 Miles", Britney Murphy, who played the opposite role with the ruffian Eminem, played a coquettish stripper, dressed in a punk style. Requezamo, who starred in Spike Lee's famous work "Sam's Summer", plays Suvari's boyfriend.
The most memorable Rose in the film is Jason Schwartzman, another member of the Coppola family and nephew of the great director Francis Coppola. "Getting to fame as early as possible" refers to his type. As early as 1998, in "Rushmore", he played the protagonist: an ambitious boy who also played a major role in "Simonie". Like him, Fugit is also famous for playing talented teenagers. His most famous role is undoubtedly the juvenile music critic in "Almost Fame", and this time he played the poorest role in the movie.
However, it seems that the filming of this film is more like a gathering of friends, and the two screenwriters seem to be more like the characters they described themselves than the actors. In addition to making music, Billy Cogan also played the role of a doctor. Other actors seem to have been in the independent film circle for a long time, and finally found a chance to come out and be happy.
[Evaluation] The
film participated in this year's Sundance Film Festival, and its reputation was good. Although it was only shown on a small scale, it also received a lot of repercussions.
"Using a deadly black humor to express an attitude of identification with rebellion
"-New York Times "The role of Akrond in this movie can be summarized in a very short time: no effect."-San Francisco Times
"Those characters are the objects of our ridicule, not the objects of communication or sympathy." - E!online
