Paslin's mother died, and she did not make it to the funeral. I met two sloppy old men in my mother's house, the older one was Bobby, and he said, hey girl, your mother said that the three of us would live together. Paslin was noncommittal and went straight to her mother's room. But when we turned around, we saw Lawson, a younger man with a melancholy face. He was discussing with Bobby Lang whether they should lie, and insisted that Paslin would know the truth one day-the house is Paslin’s private property. , Has nothing to do with them. At this time, Bobby Lang looked treacherous and confident, and he really couldn't feel good about him. From the scheme he told Lawson, we can find that they just want to stay in this house. They are poor homeless people. But they read, write, drink, and play the piano, and they seem to be in a mess.
Just a few opening paragraphs seem to show the current "loser" life of American hippies. Speaking of loser, I also want to ask, what kind of life is a happy one? Is it necessary to have a house, a car, a wife, children, and a dog? The boss in "Three Fools" said no, the pursuit of excellence is success. In this way, Bobby Lang still failed because he pursued the excellence of his students, not his. His student is Lawson. He has been expecting Lawson to write something, so he brought him out of the excellent university and brought him to New Orleans like a temptress. This journey lasted eight years. In these eight years, except for picking up girls , Lawson seems to have found nothing. As for the character Bobby Lang, one thing I hate more in the first half of the movie is the non-stop quotation of others, from George Sand to TS Eliot. Of course, this aspect proves that he has ever He is indeed a professor, and he does have the capital to attract young literary and artistic women, but on the other hand, it also shows that he has never found his own golden words. He is really a disappointing fat man.
The actor playing Bobby Lang is John Travolta. To put it bluntly, it’s really horrible. I feel that John was a bit quiet before "Pulp Fiction", and then in "The Face Changing" in 1997. There was a fire, and then, there was no more. Nicholas Cage, who was "face-changing" at the time, can only be the father of Lori Chloe Moretz in "King of the Sea". Find him to play Bobby Lang, besides acting skills, are there some heroes who feel sad about the heroes?
The name of the movie is "The Love Song for Bobby Lang". This is a suspenseful title. She makes us want to know a few things. First of all, who is Bobby Lang, and then who wrote the love song for Bobby Lang, Finally, why is it a love song. The introduction to Bobby Lang in the opening almost convinced me that no one would improvise a song for this bad old man who tried to drive away the real owner of the house, Paslin. I would guess that it should be an old song, but I don’t have such a high IQ, so I guessed it was written by Paslin’s mother Laura Yin, because, judging from Bobby Lang’s attitude towards Paslin, I don’t think he would treat Laura Yin too much. good. The next episode is that Bobby Lang drove Paslin away quietly, so he taught her knowledge and let her go to school. Bobby Lang’s wishful thinking is really good. When Paslin is admitted to college, he can do it. I live comfortably in this house with Lawson, but during this time, he still has to endure Paslin's damn inelegant rock music, junk food, and unnutritious TV shows. But during this period of time, the three people got to know each other. Lawson was still alive in the self-blame of lying to Paslin, but Paslin fell in love with Lawson unknowingly and watched Lawson and his daughter. Paslin would unconsciously show sorrow when friends were close, and Bobby Lang, who sold Lawson’s car, got a certificate of education, so that Paslin only needed to pass one exam to be like all this The same age group of children graduated from high school, this is the first time Bobby Lang has impressed me.
Time flows quietly, and the three of them seem to have become accustomed to this kind of life and this way of living. On the eve of Christmas, Lawson and Paslin were lying by the fire and chatting. Lawson told a sad story about Bobby Lang. He lost his child in an accident and his wife left him. Lawson was Respect Bobby Lang, so he said this story affectionately and burst into tears. From this moment on, I believe that whether Paslin hated Bobby Lang as much as I did, she will never be like this in the future. Will not hate him easily. That night, it was freezing cold outside, but in the house Lawson hugged Paslin to sleep, and the two lonely hearts warmed to each other like this. And on Christmas night, after sending off the visitors, the three people sat on the stools at the door and chatted with each other. Their relationship rose to the culmination, and the story reached three-quarters of the place, and they too It seems to be towards peace.
But Paslin's selfish boyfriend appeared, along with a lawyer's letter, telling Paslin that the house belongs to her alone. Her boyfriend hoped that Paslin would drive away Bobby Lang and Lawson and live with him in a double tree, but Paslin refused without hesitation, and even when her boyfriend hurt Bobby Lang and Lawson. Speak good things for them. I think that next, Paslin should talk to two people, and finally come to the conclusion that we should live together, which is good. But it didn't happen that Paslin's next move was to move their things out of the house, and it didn't take long for him to find a housing company and put a "sell" sign. This step was so sensible and confident, I think she must have been very sad at the time. She may think that even if the house is hers alone, as long as Bobby Lang and Lawson tell her well, she will agree to them staying. Why do we have to use lies?
Finally, when Paslin was sorting out her mother's belongings, she found her mother's suicide note, to the effect that I wrote your father in the song. I actually really want to sing it to you. The song is called "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter". It is the same as the name of a book that Bobby Lang gave to her mother. She is as smart as Parsley. She immediately understood the relationship between Bobby Lang and herself. She was like a child who made mistakes. On the one hand, he blamed himself and on the other hand, he pretended to be upright and confident because of his grievances. He went to Bobby Lang and gave him the score of the song. It was only then that the screenwriter set up at the beginning was not only about the ownership of the house, but also the ownership of Paslin and Laura Yin, who belonged to the down-and-out Bobby Lang.
At Paslin’s graduation party, Bobby Lang said some spiritual maxims as usual, still quoting famous quotes, but this time it is no longer a ridicule and cynical attitude. It is a little more solemn and uneasy as a father, and it is over. During the speech, he invited Paslin to dance, and the band played the song Laura Yin wrote to him. In this dance, the family finally got together. At the end, it was the death of Bobby Lang. It was Lawson who finally wrote a book. He and Paslin placed the book between Bobby Lang and Laura Yin’s tombs. The title of the book was "To Bobby "Lang's Love Song", all the clues are gathered at this time, and the bright tail also reveals a soul-style chicken soup story.
At this point in the story, I think of "Little Sunshine", which is the story of a family loser. Although it was still a mess in the end, no one would doubt that everything started to improve from the moment they embarked on their journey home. Direction development. Is such a movie too hypocritical and pretentious?
Sometimes I think those hard-fought stories by Bergman are close to the truth. For example, in "Scream and Whisper", the relationship between relatives and sisters is so bad that in the end there is only one inferior servant willing to get close to the dead sister's body. ; And the relationship between husband and wife is so indifferent, they have to rely on extreme masturbation and self-mutilation to soothe themselves; the lover is not to mention the sadness, the painful nature of life culminates in the display of the relationship scene after scene. But thinking like this is too pessimistic and high-end. As a dick-I don't know if I should be happy or sad-I will probably never understand the troubles of the rich. Correspondingly, "Little Girl in the Sunshine" or "A Love Song to Bobby Lang", which tell stories about the attempted American dream, suddenly seem more approachable. I also quoted a sentence, "Movies are the asymptote of reality." Most of us live in the ordinary and humble. There is enough pain in life, so let us give a bit of spiritual chicken soup stories and characters. It is good to see some hope behind the indifference and cruelty. On the contrary, this is close to the truth. To apply the saying "The boat goes straight to the bridgehead", the life of suffering all the way to the end is actually very rare.
