Don't talk about this movie about love

First of all, this is not a romance movie, but a life movie to be precise. The themes reflected in the whole film are: loss, loss, emptiness, loneliness, which has been reflected from the very beginning. It is a subject of great confusion that has lost its ideals and dreams. People who can deeply understand this film will shed tears every time they watch it. Sadness is reflected in the scenes, music and contradictions. For friends who understand it as a romantic movie, I suggest to observe it from another angle. Sadness doesn't have to have big ups and downs, or even tears. Continuing the loss and loss, as well as the continuous loneliness, is the meaning of the long shot at the end of the film. Nothing has changed, nothing has changed, but some happy or sad memories have been added, just like you and me, the lives of each of us. Most people who like this kind of film are introverts and thinkers, so that's why this film has won the Critics Award. We can learn some of the techniques and artistic ideas used by the director of this film. His framing in large scenes is very subtle, deepening this sense of loss, insecurity, and lack of belonging. And he especially portrayed a deep sense of loneliness. For example, in the movie "Lyon" (an alias called this killer is not too cold), when Leon died, Mattita walked on the urban street at dusk with her toy bunny alone. As mentioned above, these are all truths, in order to express feelings of disappointment. In this film, love is just a way to interpret loneliness and loss. It seems that martial arts movies are also about interpreting a story, or an emotion, or a thought. But fighting is just a means to interpret these necessary factors. Then look at our three protagonists. All their ideals have long been shattered, they are just living, living for the sake of living. What the younger brother can do is drink heavily, and then use jazz improvisation to escape his life. The contempt of themselves by small private TV stations. Susie was very ironic and angry with her younger brother who was not honest and dared to face life. The elder brother who has a family has forgotten what an ideal is. When he and his younger brother are in conflict, he begs his younger brother not to break his hands, because he needs to use his hands to support the family. These plots are the main line that makes people feel sad. In the end, and the most lost place, Susie was humming the bean sprout song helplessly, as if he was muttering, life, life, even if it is so, but still has to continue. The two people's blank expressions, weak greetings, and Susie's back, the audience looked forward to the hopeless future for them. This is the theme of this movie. Do you understand?

    Their best time. Young and beautiful and can sing, why do you tell me not to love you?

    The friction between reality and ideal. The plot format was lackluster, didactic, and the progression was dull. Pfeiffer's voice is average and his singing is average, not suitable for jazz. Nice looking legs. Bridges is handsome.

The Fabulous Baker Boys quotes

  • Jack Baker: Listen to me, princess. We fucked twice. That's it. Once the sweat dries, you still don't know shit about me. Got it?

    Susie Diamond: I know one thing. While Frank Baker was home putting his kids to sleep last night, little brother Jack was out dusting off his dreams for a few minutes. I was there. I saw it in your face. You're full of shit. You're a fake. Every time you walk into some shitty daiquiri hut, you're selling yourself on the cheap. Hey, I know all about that. I'd find myself at the end of the night with some creep and tell myself it didn't matter. And you kid yourself that you've got this empty place inside where you can put it all. But you do it long enough and all you are is empty.

    Jack Baker: I didn't know whores were so philosophical.

    Susie Diamond: At least my brother's not my pimp. You know, I had you pegged for a loser the first time I saw you, but I was wrong. You're worse. You're a coward.

  • Frank Baker: I'm sorry. I'm a bit wound up.

    Jack Baker: Frank, you're a fucking alarm clock.
