Be less frivolous and old be stable

Harmony Kolin, even in the United States, is a different kind of existence. After all, when stereotyped stories and similar shooting techniques appeared in the category of literary films (for example, the American film "Wild Horse" I just watched, personal depression then went to stories of self-salvation; in domestic films, the divorce and single child of the domestically produced turtles were sadly reminded. The experience of growing up, or the “simple” ethnic background series that try to hide the ugliness in dialects; the abuse of long shots, the narcissism of shaking and shooting...), this will appear to be more disgusting and disgusting than the model of a commercial film. The reason is: When a bitch, you have to set up an archway, and it is more attractive to pretend to be pure than heavy makeup.

Therefore, even if Hamoni Kolin can never become the mainstream of the moment, he still deserves to be admired. Of course, if this kind of slightly extreme film is placed a hundred years later, it may also become naive. Therefore, whether a film can become the mainstream of the moment corresponds to the current era. Just as everyone now treats Van Gogh as a god, it's only because after a long time, human beings realize how ignorant they were at the beginning through self-improvement. But on the other hand, as an artist, if you quickly win the love of most people, then you must be relatively mediocre, because facing the recognition of the times at this time, it means that you are at most parallel to it. Art is spirit, and spirit needs to lead mankind, the far-reaching the better.

I saw a lot of people who gave this film extremely bad reviews or showed that they could not understand the lines in it. Actually, I want to persuade you that Quandang went to the wrong theater. There is no need to struggle, because you and the director are not a kind of creature. , You are a cat, he is a dog, you must not understand him, and there is no need to force yourself to understand. There is no right or wrong in this, maybe his mind is suitable for being an artist, and you are more suitable for being a mathematician, and there is no distinction between high and low.

In fact, comparing this film with the "Spring Break" filmed by this director, the degree of slanderousness is already at the stage of his "old age and stability". After all, the end of this burning money is still a bit deliberate, a bit of a wave of waves. And this action, only in the context of a highly developed capitalist society in the United States, may stimulate the audience a little, and even a little behind. For other societies that don’t have enough food and clothing, it’s really a big deal. With stupid genomic neuropathy, the living environment determines the inability to empathize.

In addition to money, the forms of love in this film are also advanced. In other words, in a society where food and clothing are not enough, it is also neurotic. If you can understand that everyone is essentially an independent individual, and there should be no excessive dependence, then you will not be distressed by low-level emotional problems. This emotion includes love and family affection, and the family unit is in In front of the individual, it is not important at all. This also confirms a relatively special situation from some aspects, that is, the higher the education level, the more indifferent and ruthless, because their self-consciousness begins to awaken, and the self-individual The practice of life is the most instinct and the source of the ultimate progress of mankind.

Hey, in fact, Beauvoir and Sartre, who were born as early as 100 years ago, have already practiced this kind of elementary model, and they have also compiled a book for circulation. From this point of view, in fact, this film, in front of French artists, is still vulgar. Isn’t it just burning money, smashing mansions, vulgar Americans! Just like many French artists hate Jeff Koons.

I suddenly realized that this director's situation is actually quite bad. In terms of artistic depth, he is not so extreme, and in terms of business, he is completely irrelevant. That is, the vulgar is not enough, and the elegant is not enough. Hey, I have to sigh again. But I still want to commend him, because this dreadful self-expression is brave and unrestrained. He did not pretend to be an artist, but an artist who really faces himself. The reason is also very simple. What art fears most is hypocrisy, and Hamoni Kolin did not hide it, admitting that he is an obsessed with gaudy, materialistic, and demon. B!

The Beach Bum quotes

  • Lewis: I'm not even upset, even a little bit, that I was not included in the ceremonies.

    Moondog: Oh, you thought you'd be included?

    Lewis: No, well, like I said, I'm busy, anyway, so like I said, I'm not offended. And I just want to be clear, this doesn't have to do... with the incident a few years back.

    Moondog: Oh, when you walked in and saw that...

    Lewis: I didn't know she was changing.

    Moondog: She said you stayed a little longer than a few seconds.

    Lewis: Well, I used to mix signals back then. It was a confusing time. I would misread things often.

  • Captain Wack: I only had four deaths on my watch.

    Moondog: Only four?

    Captain Wack: Four deaths in over eight straight years of dolphin touring. It's a terrific record. Now, I've been stripped of my license temporarily on five separate occasions but each time, I get it reinstated due to a technicality I never quite understood.
