I saw a passage in the magazine before, and I couldn't forget it. After a long time, I finally read it.
I originally wanted to write a short review, but the more I wrote, the more words were not enough, but I didn't want to delete it, it became a long review. Just for myself to see, feel free to feel.
I think of a description I saw before, the gray freedom of Northern Europe. Indeed. I don't know if it can be said that the (doting) love of the parents finally made the male protagonist become like this. In the film, the male protagonist’s parents appeared many times, from the discussions of friends around him and the male protagonist’s own psychological description. I have a wonderful feeling for this long paragraph of the hero, and I typed it down one by one.
"He taught me how to ride a bike, row a boat, how to speed 20% without getting tired, 50 to 60, 90 to 108. She talked about adults in English, she taught me to always use dental floss and put things back. "They hate conservatism, but it took many years to buy a video recorder. Both of them are from Oslo, remember the places we passed by." "He is a little hard-earned, and insists on listening to absurd dramas,'Do you think Which is the best? "You must eat raw oysters." They believe that intellectual achievement is better than sports success. They sympathize with celebrities who want to protect personal privacy." "They made me a critical reader, and the rhetoric was too weak. I’m scornful, but they treat everyone I take home warmly." "They never miss the evening news. He took a test and proudly told us that he has an artist character. He said everyone who values military experience They are stupid." "She is tolerant of drug use. He wants to ban barbecues in the park. Democracy is the best option. She thinks Brigitte Bardot should help others, not animals." "They respect my privacy. , Maybe too respectful. They taught me that religion is weak and I don’t know if I agree. They never taught me to cook or build a relationship, but they seem happy. They never told me how friendship disappeared Until my friends are strangers and leave only names. They allow me to be picky about food." "She said I can do what I want, and decide who I want to be, who I want to love, and where I want to live. They will always help me. . They are harsher to the sister than to me."
Without this freedom of indulgence, if the male protagonist’s parents did not sell the house but accompany the male protagonist more often, would the outcome be different.
At the beginning, the male protagonist was going to jump into the river but came back to wear clothes. I thought he gave up this idea, but it was just to bring a few more rocks to sink. The slowly subsiding bubbles made people palpitate. Finally, the male protagonist who finally got out of the water, I wish he could explode like a broken calm water surface, looking for redemption. However, the male protagonist's friends and relatives cannot give him substantial help. He was facing the man who had had a relationship with his ex-girlfriend. Facing those words, I was thinking about when he would overturn the table and fight, but in the end he didn’t get angry and seemed to apologize politely. . If he hadn't bought drugs before then, I would think this was the last straw that overwhelmed the camel. By the way, he was angry before. When applying for the job, he told about his history of drug use, personally opened the scars, and exposed the unbearable side.
In fact, in the second half of the film, the story is almost clear. The last girl looked very gentle, but the male lead was not saved by her either. The girl rides a bicycle and the male lead sits in the back seat. The night breeze is gentle and beautiful. The protagonist took her to the sights in Oslo and the swimming pool, but they all just watched from the side, out of place, as if she was detached from the flesh, looking at the world from the perspective of God. Because the male lead's facial expression changes at the end of the pool, I am willing to add an extra star.
I would rather believe that he died in the end, as he said to his friends at the beginning, overdose, rather than committing suicide. Because if he died from a drug overdose, his parents would believe it.
It was August 31 in Oslo. It was long, dull, hopeless, and never seen the sun. However, he also wanted to "live a useful life every day and be loved by others" like the girl I met in the restaurant.
I don't know why, but when I watched it, I remembered "Manchester by the Sea".
