Banjo, tattoos and country music are interspersed throughout the film, giving this "boring" story its own unique style, and the emotional entanglement between the hero and the heroine is also interspersed with the terminally ill daughter. Various factors are like twists and turns. It’s so twisted together, it makes people taste different. This shooting method is quite similar to Woody Allen’s "Blue Jasmine", but it’s a bit more complicated, as seen by the director Felix Van Gou. Ninggen's skill is extraordinary.
The most memorable part is that when men and women are playing in the bed, the warm red color and the tattooed carcass are intertwined with each other, which always reminds people of some fragments of their lives. It is not only sex, but more. It is warmth, the actor's performance is extraordinarily sincere, and there is no contrived shadow. This kind of simple style film needs this more. At the moment when the little girl was buried, people on the ground sang songs without any background music, relying only on pure human voices. This is very similar to the episode of "Twelve Years as a Slave" where the blacks are buried. The difference is that It was raining here at the same time, making it even more desolate. There is also the section where the band and the heroine sang on the stage of the Grand Theater. While singing, the man did not have the opportunity to communicate with the woman what he wanted to say, but the changes in his body movements, eyes and voice showed it completely. The inner activities of the two are too detailed! In this situation, the depression in the male protagonist’s chest will suddenly increase, leading to a final emotional burst, and an excited speech on stage, dissatisfaction with politics, dissatisfaction with religion, hopeless despair of his daughter, Like a scourge of beasts in people’s ears, and at the same time, the fragmentation of a happy family reached the extreme, and the fragmentation of the American dream reached the extreme. The previous plain foreshadowings played a role. At this moment, it highlights the tension. This scene is really too good. It's wonderful!
Up to now, I have not seen a domestic film that can shoot a plain story so real and delicately, and can dig out such a deep depth. We have to admit that we have no ability, no courage, and no one. Find the soul trembling heart.
