Film review "THE SHIPPING NEWS" (complete spoiler + dry comment)

Gerardo 2021-12-30 17:17:19

A wimpy middle-aged man took him and the only love crystallization of his wife who eloped with others and died in a car accident-daughter Bonnie, died in his father (leave him "you wasted the opportunity I gave you" "'S last words) Under the indirect promotion of this incident, under the direct persuasion of the cousin who did not know where he came out, he took the baby daughter and took the boat north with his 60-year-old cousin to their family. My hometown-Newfoundland.

Originally, such a story of pursuing the root of life, rediscovering oneself, and setting sail again, should be very beautiful and shocking. What's more, it’s the director Niu—the director is Lashow Strong, who is nominated for Oscar in "My Heart Dust"; the cattle actors—Demi Moore, Judy Dench, Cate Blanchett, Kevin Spacey, (searched by the way Here, the two children in it are both child stars with a salary of 2 million); Niu Tales-the story is adapted from the Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Prue's "Ship News"-is this author familiar with the name? By the way, she is the author of the novel "Brokeback Mountain" by the way. As a result, the film produced by such a combination of "three cows" gave me the feeling of-disappointment... I

don't know how to say it, it should be good-looking. But what I feel is—the music is quite good, the scenery of the filming location is quite good, and the others are...so-so.

In theory, there should be a lot of metaphors, a lot of hints, and a lot of others. The collapse of that old house should symbolize that the hero, his aunt, and daughter, the past they were afraid of, and the unfavorable history of the family, have all passed. But why don't I feel this way? ——What the collapse of the house told me, I didn't realize it when I watched the movie, but thought of it.





Let’s review the actors one by one:

Kevin Spacey: She is so brilliant among American beauties, but not at all here-but he was going to create a depressed little inferiority figure, and he was successful at this point. The walking gait, language, and winks are well shaped. But I personally feel that the two points of this man's love for his daughter and silent responsibility for his daughter have not been performed-that is to say, I think Kevin Spacey successfully performed his "little" instead of his "big".

Julian Moore: I like this actor, pleasing to the eye. But in my D9 version, I don’t know if the picture is not fixed or to show the situation of the abandoned woman in the film, her face is aging-like a middle-aged woman. I’ve seen a score before, saying that the actress who has lost the most after D9 and even Blu-ray DVDs came out was...then who...Justin’s ex-girlfriend, who played Kim Kelly’s girlfriend in "Ghost in Disguise", because she has bad skin. But now I think Demi Moore's words are also full of

Judy Dench-Mrs. M, there is still coercion in everything~. I won't say anything about the old opera bones, I really like the strength of this role.

Cate Blanchett—it's a glimpse. I checked. Kate wasn't that young when he was acting in this film—but the acting was shining everywhere.



Finally, I would like to praise the soundtrack again-I think I will buy its OST, as well as the scenery-sea, fjord, etc~~~

The Shipping News quotes

  • [first lines]

    Quoyle: [father teaching him literally to sink or swim]

    [voice-over]

    Quoyle: I used to imagine that I'd been given to the wrong family at birth, and that somewhere in the world my real people longed for me. From where my father stood, my failure to dog-paddle was only the first of many failures. Failure to speak clearly, failure to sit up straight, failure to make friends every time we moved to another dreary upstate town. In me, my father recognized a failed life. His own.

  • Petal Bear: Look, it's no good. Find yourself a girlfriend.

    Quoyle: I don't want a girlfriend, I want you.

    Petal Bear: [shrugs] Your funeral.
