I'm a little bit emotional~

A love song to Bobby Long, a very strange film. Two hours of calm, slow pace, but not at all procrastinated, the fresh pastoral style in the film and the purity of the heroine's bones can move everyone. Uncle Luopao, pure loli, gathering in one place will always make people think about it. But the warm colors on the disc have already hinted that this film will be warm. For two hours, I have been looking forward to it, and finally I got what I wanted.

If a person gets more and more, the requirements will continue to rise, and the pleasure received will continue to decrease. vice versa. Desperate like Bobby, an alcohol abuse indirectly led to the death of his son and the departure of his wife directly. From then on, he became discouraged and left him under the fence, smoking, drinking, playing the piano, and singing music every day. For this man who has lost everything, there seems to be only one hope left in his life-the book that Lawson wrote for him will be published. But Lawson said that the story is not over and he has no way to write... Bobby's life is destined to be a cup of tea, but fortunately, he was relieved before the end of the story. When his health deteriorated and time was short, he got an unexpected surprise in his life-the emergence of Shui Ling's flexible 18-year-old daughter, so that he would not die alone, but fully enjoy his family in the last days of life Warmth.

Every one of us has to go through such a process. From the beginning, we have nothing, get a piece of candy and a new coat, and we can be happy for a while. But if you eat too much sugar, you will get tired, and if you have too much new clothes, you will also be hung in the cupboard to hide ashes. The more you get, the deeper your desire. Just like those corrupt officials who stretched out their hands for the first time, they couldn't stop since then.

So people are less happy when they grow up, and when they have more love experiences, they can no longer be motivated to love. When money can buy everything, spending money is no longer irritating. Everything started to become dull, and this will be a long process. As a result, adults' interests tend to be uniformly transformed into the pursuit of the outside world of marriage. How exciting, how boring.

After that, the situation changed again. Losing begins to dominate everything. There are some losses in life that can be recovered: for example, losing the time at your disposal can change your job; losing your passion can change your life. But there are some losses that can never be reversed and cannot be traced back, such as loss of loved ones, loss of health, and loss of youth. Losing is the disappearance of the things once owned and no longer owning them. The things that were not owned in childhood can only make people yearn at best, but they will not make people feel real pain as if they were lost. Desire is the driving force for progress, but pain is nothing, it only makes people want to forget. I know to cherish it when I lose it, but it is too late, and I can never find a substitute.

Bobby is lucky, what he lost is finally filled by the joy he got, but how can we avoid the hopeless cycle of life? I will continue to think about this issue.

The biggest highlight of this film is the actors. Life is the most difficult performance, but they can interpret a life like water so moving. The 120-minute screening time only makes me feel relaxed and enjoyable, and I am deeply moved by the faint feelings of it. There is no wave after wave of climax, no heartbreaking cry, no painful struggle and fierce struggle. Every character in the film does not need to be "strengthened" to act, but the characters are portrayed in three points. Watching too many movies can make people mistakenly think that life with repeated climaxes is called life. But in fact, life is not a drama, but a scene of plain reality. But this is life, ordinary life is life. Only those who know how to appreciate the ordinary can really know how to live.

The books are better than life, that's why they are books. The movies are better than life, that's why they are movies.

Turning off the phone on weekends to watch a warm movie is the supreme enjoyment of life. Maybe the world will forget me, but I can at least find a little bit of fun in other people's lives.

A Love Song for Bobby Long quotes

  • Lawson Pines: That girl looks so much like Lorraine. Remember the first time you took me to see her sing was my first time in New Orleans.

    [pause]

    Lawson Pines: I was so taken.

    Bobby Long: Well... you were kind of. You were kind of sheltered. Choked by that silver spoon.

    Lawson Pines: I thought she was so beautiful.

    Bobby Long: She was.

  • Bobby Long: [singing] Mother, go make my bed, / Make it long and narrow. / My true love died for me yesterday, / I shall die for him tomorrow. She was buried in a church house yard, / And he was buried there beside her. And from his grave grew roses red, / From hers grew green briar. They grew and they grew so very high, / Till they could grow no higher; And at the top grew a true lovers' knot, / Twined with green briar.
