The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989)
This movie is occasionally heard, because Michelle Pfeiffer, the big beauty in the film, has always wanted to watch it. So I found a DVDRip on the Internet and read it after downloading it.
The story of the movie is very simple, telling a story between a band of brothers and a beautiful woman. A band of brothers is doing commercial performances in various bars, and they have been cooperating for 15 years. But with the change of times, the simple piano performance of the two brothers has fallen behind, and the brother had to find a female singer. After some recruitment, the band recruited a beautiful blonde woman. In this way, the band formed by the three of them became more and more popular and made more and more money. During the New Year, the older brother was unable to perform because of something at home, and only the younger brother and the women were left to perform. The younger brother had a relationship with the woman after the performance, but the younger brother was a very indifferent person and left in a hurry in the morning, which made the woman very angry. After that, the woman was dissatisfied with the various performances arranged by her brother and planned to leave the band. The woman came to her brother's house and wanted to tell him about it, but she accidentally discovered her brother's dream and had a relationship with her brother again. After the incident, the younger brother remained indifferent. In the next few days, the unbearable woman and her brother quarreled in the street, and the two broke up unhappy. The band of brothers without women continued to perform, but the situation was not as good as before. They even raised donations for middle school students late at night. The younger brother couldn't stand it and made a big show. After the two brothers came out, they quarreled again until they fisted together. When the younger brother returned home, he was touched by a few words from the neighbor's girl and planned to change himself. So, the younger brother found his elder brother, and the two reconciled as before. Finally, the younger brother found the woman again, apologized to each other, and planned to meet again.
This film is a fresh film sketch, and it is also a romantic movie that Hollywood is good at. The film has portrayed three distinctive characters: lonely, indifferent, closed-off brother, hard-working and tenacious brother, and dare to love, hate, and informal woman. Through the short story between the three, the film shows the transformation of a lonely man and extols love and brotherhood. At the same time, the film also shows the appearance of small people in American society, so that the audience has a certain understanding of the musicians of that era. In short, this film is a casual work that looks very relaxed and comfortable, very suitable for relaxing or changing tastes.
Although the movie is very good, it is still a Hollywood-style cliché movie. A man and a woman, love for a long time, two nights of passion, not speculative, apologize to each other and reconcile as before. The whole process of the film is a vulgar Hollywood romantic film bridge, it seems that there is no freshness at all, and it can even be guessed from the beginning tail. Of course, the plot of this cliché model is also Hollywood's time-tested medicine, just because the audience loves to watch it. Who doesn't want to see a happy ending?
However, the ending of the film is different from other Hollywood romantic movies. The conventional mode is a happy ending at the end, and the film becomes "unfinished to be continued...". Such an open ending allows us to have our own expectations. Brother and woman be friends? Or will the younger brother and the woman become lovers? Or did they both become passers-by? I believe there will be supporters for these three endings. This is the brilliance of this film! Why make the movie unchanged? Even a love movie can leave suspense. This is the uniqueness of the movie.
In addition to the above characteristics, the most impressive thing about this film is the movie music. The music used throughout the film is jazz, slow, soothing, and melodious. The shallow piano sound and Michelle Pfeiffer's not-sweet female voice run through the film, giving the audience a sense of comfort and warmth. Watching movies like this film and listening to music like this film is really enjoyable! However, I don't know anything about jazz, I can only hear the feeling of music, but it is indescribable, so I won't say much. In a word, this film is the warmest jazz film I have ever seen.
Finally, talk about the actors. The actor Jeff Bridges is so handsome in the film, he is really a young talent. Not only is he handsome, he can also play and sing, which is very charming. It's just that in the movie, he has too little dialogue, and he is basically pretending to be cool throughout the movie. The other actor, Beau Bridges, is the real brother of Jeff Bridges, but the two are not alike. If you don't check the information, you won't know that the two are still in such a relationship. Beau Bridges's performance is quite modest and relatively ordinary. The highlight of the film is the heroine Michelle Pfeiffer. She shines in the film. Not only does her appearance and figure make people admire, she also sings well. Unexpectedly, European and American actors are all acting while the best sing. You can't underestimate it.
in conclusion. This is a fresh, natural and romantic love movie with good music and beautiful heroine. Although the story is clichéd, it is still worth watching. It's a pity that such a good movie with beauties and music hasn't even appeared in Bluray, which is a waste of resources. When will the beauty of Michelle Pfeiffer be seen again?
