The title of "Five Easy Pieces" does not refer to the number of women hooked up by the protagonist along the way, because he only hooked up three in total; it is actually a piano workbook for the protagonist when he was a child. "Language" ranks among the best American movies. The protagonist practiced hard when he was young and aspires to become a pianist. Twenty years later, he just wants to disguise himself as an oil worker. The film tells the distance between the two. When the audience feels the boy locked in the heart of the adult protagonist and feels his torment and anxiety, "The Drifter" has naturally become a heartbreaking screen masterpiece.
In the beginning, we saw only the male protagonist played by Jack Nicholson. He showed a kind of magical randomness here. It was his randomness that made "Easy Rider" ( Easy Rider) is full of life. This is a temporary worker who lacks a sense of responsibility. He travels between the oil fields. His girlfriend is a restaurant waiter (Karen Black). He dreams of becoming a singer all day long. Take country singer Tommy Wynette ( Tammy Wynette) is an idol. The man’s name is Robert Eloyka Dippi, and this name comes from Beethoven’s "Symphony No. 3: Heroes." In the evening, he would play bowling, or perfunctory his girlfriend. That's right, you are exactly the same as Tommy when you sing "Stand by your Man".
In these wonderful scenes after the beginning of the film, director Bob Rafelson (Bob Rafelson) reminded us of the hard life and small dreams of these ordinary Americans. They live in a landscape made up of motels, highways, microwaved food, dust, and jealousy. In fact, we are the same, but they seem to have nothing else. At the spiritual and emotional level of about seventeen years old, Dippi’s friends stopped developing; he didn’t, but he thought he did the same, or hoped he did the same. Literally translated as "five simple songs". ——Translator
Dippi finds out that his girlfriend is pregnant (a friend Elton told him about it and suggested that he might marry her and settle down afterwards). He left her angrily, and after a boring mess with the slut he knew on the bowling alley, he found out that his father was dying almost by accident. So we learned that his father was a musical genius and brought the whole family to a small island, trying to train them like Socrates. Deepi felt that he was the only product of failure in the family.
In those episodes on the island, feeling that the film has opened his heart, Dippi awkwardly tries to communicate with his dying father. There are strange people living on this small island, most of them belong to their family, but there are also a few wandering here. Among them was a beautiful young girl who came to the island to learn piano from Dippi's proud brother. Dippy seduce her, in her, he can find the self that year. He used the sound of the piano to seduce her, but when she said that she was moved, Dippy said he didn't—he played the piano better when he was a child, and the tune was really simple.
Perhaps it was at this time that he had a nervous breakdown and condemned himself for turning his life into a failure situation that he defined. After a few more scenes, the film ends in an ambiguous plot; it is possible that he completely left the waitress, or it may be that he embarked on a more incognito journey. It's hard to tell what it is, but it doesn't really matter. The important thing is how this character was like during the period of the film: During such a period of time, Dippi tried to get close to his past, but finally rejected it, not out of self-esteem, but out of self-esteem. In fear.
The film portrays the protagonist’s life on the road in a vibrant and enjoyable way. We follow him in bars and bowling alleys, in motels and trailers, and we find that he resists the values of the lower class, even if he picks them up at the same time. In a scene that seemed to be magical, he jumped out of the car, caught in the traffic, ran to the truck in front and played the piano. The words are written in this way, making the scene sound like very deliberate, but Raphaelson and Nicholson have never deliberately pursued anything, and there is no need to do that. Robert Eloyka Dippi is one of the most memorable roles in the history of American cinema.
