I have enjoyed all the benefits of bad movies that Uncle Haoxiang said. Watching a good movie occasionally becomes a major event. Can't wait to bathe and change clothes, burn incense and pray.
In fact, the name Lang Dangzi is a bit misleading, so I think it would be more appropriate to call it a pseudo-prodigal.
Bobby looks bohemian, a maverick pig. In fact, it's been pretty miserable.
The so-called misery does not mean that he has no money. It has nothing to do with this, but the feeling of living in a crack is really not easy.
The first half of the film uses a small space to describe Bobby's work, friends, and lovers.
He wasn't satisfied with Bobby's job and felt like shit. The piano player fiddled with the drill, and he had reason to be dissatisfied.
He was dissatisfied with Bobby's lover, and Lei was the typical big-headed and brainless person with no higher education. Kind hearted. In addition to not bad looking, not bad at heart, basically useless affordable housing. Bobby felt that they didn't touch each other, enjoying the warmth and affection that Lei gave him. I look down on others again. He irritated Lei several times and then recovered. Not necessarily how much he loves Lei. But apart from Lei, no one cares about his life or death at all. No one worships, no one cares, no one is sure. To talk about being proud. He is not qualified. Just like most people, I take myself too seriously.
He was also not satisfied with Bobby's friend, although he was eating, drinking, and betting with Elton. But he also looked down on Elton. Look at the lives and values of friends as worthless. There is a big talk about friends living in a trailer to raise a pregnant girlfriend.
With so much dissatisfaction, life is hard to be happy. Even a dead-headed lover like Lei finds Bobby's moody and unacceptable.
Behind the bohemian. Bobby is just a poor creature who can't integrate into society.
The people in the movie will not think about the rationality of society and doubt their own position. This is a big proposition. Personally it is difficult to answer. So everyone simply chose not to do this multiple-choice question, what should they do? Don't worry about things like this.
Elton robbed a gas station for life, and (maybe for fun of course), and raised his girlfriend in a trailer when he got her belly up. Things are done. I also bought the order. He robbed the gas station knowing he would be arrested. Nor did he hesitate to raise a pregnant girlfriend. He took the course and result of the matter for granted. He felt that Bobby needed to pay for making people's belly bigger. But Bobby didn't think so. He is skeptical. It is not a question of not paying. Instead, she felt that Lei was pregnant because she was pregnant. That is her business. It has little to do with oneself. In this way, the rationality of paying the bill is shaken. He felt victimized. He is also unwilling to let his girlfriend live in a trailer. He doubted the happiness of that kind of life. In fact, it's nothing to live in a trailer. It's nothing to pay the bill. It's just that the angles of the two are different. The results obtained are quite different.
This kind of thing also appeared in the dialogue between Catherine and Bobby in the film. The same is a house. Catherine felt that the green mountains and clear waters were picturesque, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. And Bobby thought this place was so boring. The extension is that Catherine feels that there is nothing wrong with her life itself, and secretly affair with Bobby is at best a relief. It's the same for hot pot, but Catherine just thinks that there must be some fans in the pot. But Bobby suspects that life itself is the bottom of the pot. So Catherine had no intention of fooling around with Bobby for a long time. And it drew the line very simply. Because she has a good understanding of Bobby's behavior patterns. There is no interest in playing with him. The cost is too high to be worthwhile.
Pulling away. Going back to Bobby himself, his dissatisfaction with life comes from dissatisfaction itself.
He himself is a person of higher education. But I feel that life is extremely boring, and I can't get along with my serious father. So Paipai butt left, but the environment and education he received gave him a heavy brand. Although he had no ethics for gambling and promiscuity (he did not hesitate to do it with his sister-in-law), he looked down on it. What a lover of culture and taste. I also feel that living in a trailer to talk about happiness is a bullshit. The impact of this kind of education on him is that it prevents him from being completely bad and has no bottom line. His bohemian behavior is only superficial, and its nature is completely different from Ayrton's behavior of robbing a gas station. Bobby himself expects to be bad or wants to use these actions to destroy some things that restrain him. Ayrton Robbery does not think about the nature of the robbery itself. If he wants to rob a gas station, he only has to consider a question of cost and return. But Bobby is going to grab a gas station and he has to fight with the education and ideas he has received. The psychological cost is very huge. Bobby's inability to leave the pregnant Lei is not because of his conscience. It's that he can't compete with the values he previously accepted. So he was very upset. . Made various extreme actions.
There is also a scene in the film that is also a magical touch. After seeing Tida and his sister making love, Bobby became furious and fought with her. It can be seen that his concept of discipline is quite heavy. Of course. Suffered a stink. Finally limp there. Describes Bobby's powerlessness and futility vividly.
Bobby finally cried to his father who had suffered a stroke. It is also a sense of powerlessness in life. Although it is about him and his lover. In fact, it is the frustration that life brings to him. He couldn't accept Elton's life, and looked at the conflict between the hitchhiker and Rey with cold eyes. He speaks viciously towards the middle-class old virgins who are vicious in speech. What he denies and doubts is life itself. No matter what kind of life it is. He can always pick bones out of eggs. He wanted to mention Elton's freedom and Carl's material, and Rey's heart-to-heart was added to Catherine's sympathy. This idealism makes him painful for granted, and it is not worthy of sympathy.
The movie poster shows Bobby playing the piano on the moving car. It's a tragedy in itself.
