" Life is beautiful. Really, it is. Full of beauty and illusions. Life is great. Without it, you'd be dead. " The best way to live is to be who you are. There are countless movies with "Subversive" For example, a big reason for Korine's success is from his own growth process. He said "I wasn't trying to make a film that's realistic". He himself is his movie itself. Kids is based on the fact that when he was studying at NYU in New York, he once said that he used to live in Queens’ grandmother’s house. He liked the cultural shock brought by this ethnic minority area. Although Gummo is a story about Ohio, he feels it. It comes from his days in Nashville, where he was filmed. A friend who knew him well said that he had moved to Miami before, so there was Beach bum. In the early days, Korine met Larry Clark in Washington Square Park. His appearance changed Clark’s mind. As a screenwriter, Korine interviewed and recorded his friends in real life in a highly natural way, so he had the depraved dark in the kids. world. Kids is particularly unforgettable because of its distinctive realism, and it also established Korine's future documentary style represented by the "white trash" life.
" I never cared so much about making perfect sense. I wanted to make perfect nonsense. " Korine's films were not only given negative reviews in the domestic mainstream media, but even in the more open European and American markets, the mainstream media even rated GUMMO as the best of the year Bad movie. The score of this beach bum on IMDB is currently 6.2. However, these did not delay the annual art theater to give Korine a personal topic, nor did it affect his influence in the slightest. In this Beach Bum, Moondog is not only the epitome of the mentally hungry people in this society, but also Korine himself, an extremely romantic but desperate man, as before. The difference is that Moondog this time is a successful and wealthy white trash. Both fame and fortune, but private life is in chaos. Moondog’s inner emptiness, powerlessness, indulgence of sex, enthusiasm for creation, and attitude towards his family can all reflect this deep powerlessness in his heart. When it reaches its limit, it will be like Moondog, and treat most of it. Things become numb and indifferent, constantly looking for excitement and pleasure, but the heart is extremely sensitive and fragile. In most of the characters created by Korine, there is this kind of despair and contrast in fate. I even think that in all Korine's movies, the despair of the world and the void in his heart that can never be filled are what he really wants to vent. Not expression, but catharsis. "For me, making a movie is kind of like vomiting. Not that film is like vomit, but more like this mass of ideas and thoughts that you have and just have to put them out there. I don't do too much soul-searching or self-analysis. I just enjoy making things. "He couldn't find a better way to release this feeling, and he was powerless.
" I have no desire for any type of introspection at all. I don't ever ask myself any questions. I don't want answers. " Moondog, like him, has a similar age, a similar social status, and a deep love The women who left themselves are all facing a man's midlife crisis. Once Chole was the muse in his movie. After the breakup, the two no longer cooperate. He has never made a film that focuses on love. However, in this movie, Moondog's old love runs through and promotes the entire movie. This new film is a lot like Korine's nostalgia for her old love. As for whether it is Chole, only he knows. " I like working with family and friends and people I admire. All my movies are filled with family members of some capacity. I think it means more when you have a personal relationship with someone. "The same plot as in the movie is being staged, Chole In real life date all kinds of new people. Both believe that each other is their soulmate, but they have to live separately. Recognize the reality and cannot change it. Probably there is no choice for many things. Life is so unsolvable. At least, their trajectories have crossed.
“ I like things that are never one way. Usually, emotionally, I make the films based on a type of energy. I try to work with things that are more difficult to articulate. And so, that's more of a feeling. And so, the things that have attracted me are more of the things that are morally complicated or emotionally complicated. "In addition to the protagonist, supporting roles in Korine movies are remarkable. All the characters on the surface are uncut and unrefined. In terms of styling, a lot of details are used to shape each character with great contrast. The three sisters in Gummo, the uniform candy powder blue girl "team uniform", but use a uniform royal sister makeup and hair. His male characters like to wear all kinds of hats (baseball caps in Kids, bunny hats in Gummo, black top hats in Mister Lonely, sailor hats in Beach bum). Some people say that hats can help you hide in nowhere. Time to hide. I don't know if this arrangement is to provide him with the last shelter, or just like hats. Korine's movie color feels like a psychedelic dream covered with a layer of gray, full of cold violence behind the joy of heaven. Korine also likes to make a fuss on women's breasts and male hair's sideburns. Gummo's wavy eyebrows and sideburns, chest lumps and tit tape are perfectly echoed in this new film. The blone boy with a Japanese hairband on his head, the captain who was bitten by a shark, and the transgender demon girl dancing at dusk, life can do you a lot, probably only with a smile. Every Korine's film will also cause a new round of craze in the fashion media after it comes out. It is certain that this Beach Bum style will set off a new fashion storm.
He showed up in the early screening yesterday, holding a huge glass of Coke and wearing a baseball cap, and quickly left with a few simple sentences.
“ Everything has to have some kind of a point for people to breathe easy. What's the point of life? I have no clue, but sometimes there are things that just attract us and pull us in a certain way. ”
If you are doing what you think is worthwhile, no matter what happens, I hope you can stick to it.
