[2010] Greenberg

This film was originally directed at Ben Stiller,
but it was the heroine,
Greta Geweig , who did not want to impress me .

Because of the existence of this classic bad guy on the screen,
Camel thought it was another bad comedy.
Unexpectedly, the hostess came out with the dog alone.
Away from the noise, the style is great, the
sun is shining, the insects fly and the grass grows,
it is another literary and artistic sentiment.

Greta Geweig is not a regular on-screen,
but he has a strange sense of familiarity.
Although she has blond hair and blue eyes, she is not as exquisite and charming as Kate Winslet
;
though she is tender, she is not as bright as Scarlett Johansson; she is not as bright as Meg Ryan though she is smiling and beautiful. Intellectual and sweet;

obviously tall, slightly plump,
and nasal sounds, lacking talent.
But she feels so real and sexy, with her
natural kindness and innocence,
directly hitting the softest part of the audience's hearts.

On the contrary, Ben Stiller
tried to adjust his previous role positioning in this film .
From "tragic and funny" to "stubborn and sensitive", you
can't presumably succeed or fail,
but at least it doesn't feel prominent in this film.

Generally speaking, in "handling things", I
basically grasped such a slender and fragile character;
but in "handling people", it seems too anxious and rude.
It seems that Ben Stiller wants to follow in the footsteps of Kim Carey,
and there is still a long way to go during the transition period.

The story itself doesn’t have much to say,
Basically it is a relatively plain life diary.
Although it was Ben Stiller from the title to the protagonist, the
heroine Greta Geweig completely overwhelmed the limelight.

    doing nothing but hurting people

    Ben Stiller is a freak. When it's not funny, the level of arrogance soars. (Well, it's about to catch up with me... = = ) One of the movies that you must not watch when you are irritable.

Greenberg quotes

  • Florence Marr: Hurt people hurt people.

  • Roger Greenberg: The thing about you kids is that you're all kind of insensitive. I'm glad I grew up when I did cos your parents were too perfect at parenting- all that baby Mozart and Dan Zanes songs; you're just so sincere and interested in things! There's a confidence in you guys that's horrifying. You're all ADD and carpal tunnel. You wouldn't know Agoraphobia if it bit you in the ass, and it makes you mean. You say things to someone like me who's older and smarter with this light air... I'm freaked out by you kids. I hope I die before I end up meeting one of you in a job interview.
