This is the best film by Aki Kaurismaki, at least among the few that I have watched. Still a few words, a cold expression, a fixed lens, a soothing rhythm, and a delicate picture. Different from the other movies, it adds a lot of sense of humor. Although it's a bit cold, it's only a little bit cold, but it's particularly delicate and flavorful, full of positive energy.
The male protagonist was injured by the ground ruffian, and the welding hood was buckled on his head. He looked like a strong warrior in armor, but he was beaten. When the male lead arrives at the hospital, the camera only shows the crowd who is evading in surprise, then the bloody hand, half-length camera, lying on the ground. Seeing that the heart rate line of the instrument was straightened, the old doctor said, "Let the morgue be ready, I'm going to the delivery room."
The male protagonist ran away and lay down on the beach, unable to move. A tramp put on shoes for him unhurriedly and pulled the camera away. It turned out that it was the tramp who wore his good shoes.
The guy who tried every possible way to find excuses to drink beer was cheerful and really interesting, "It's paid, I'll ask you to drink a glass of beer, only a glass, my wife can't find it". Finally drank eight glasses, "I'm ready to go home and be beaten, it's nothing." Working at a coal factory, with soot faces all over the face, the two children hurriedly carried hot water, fell from the roof and took a shower. Isn’t the poverty and hardship full of fun and joy? After taking a shower, wearing clean clothes, "Today Friday, let's go out to eat". I thought I was going to a restaurant to have a meal, but I ended up queuing up at the congee restaurant in the church. The male lead planted a few small potatoes, and the two seriously planned how to cook the soup and keep the seeds.
The policeman, who was stern on the outside and kind-hearted but greedy for petty cheapness, found a broken container for the male protagonist to live in.
"This is a sea view room, although it is a bit broken."
"You just live here"
"Where is the original master?"
"The original owner froze to death." What an interesting conversation, people will continue to freeze to death.
"Electricity is not a problem, I can lend you tools." It means you can steal electricity by yourself, and I pretend not to see it.
"If you don't give me money, I will let my dog bite your nose. Hannibal, come on, bite his nose!" The result was that the puppy Hannibal ran to the foot of the male protagonist and lay on his stomach.
At the end, the crowd beat up the scumbags, "I'll go get them up, but it's a bit too late."
The cripple on crutches couldn't catch up and fell to the ground, and the two pulled him up.
The old lawyer and the sheriff's round of verbal battles were wonderful.
At the bottom of society, countless poor people love each other in their hardships. Poverty does not affect happiness. The maintenance worker helped install the electricity and repair the record player. The return they wanted was "If you see me lying in the ditch one day, just turn my face up."
A homeless man lives in a trash can with an expression of Enron on his face, complaining that he has taken out too much trash.
A fat and surprising repairman played cheerful music on the accordion, so happy.
The church band was fooled by the male lead to take the rock and roll route.
The protagonist’s pick-up skills are also top-notch. First, I asked for a handsome dress and a rose-red shirt. I immediately said to my wife: "I want to buy one too, how handsome!"
My wife said, "You look fat like a pig. You don't look good when you wear it." I was speechless.
The male lead escorted the female lead home because he was afraid, and gave a kiss because there was something in your eyes. After inviting the hostess to eat at home, after a show of poor cooking skills, "Let’s sit on the sofa and listen to music." This is it!
Compared with the past, the biggest feature of this film is that it is full of love, and even the last hug of parting with his wife. The other man loves his ex-wife and does not hesitate to fight him. The protagonist warmly congratulates him. The church female singers are wrinkled, and the singing voices are so beautiful, they all contain a deep love of strangeness. Let people reflect on life, full of positive energy.
I still want to buy a rose red shirt to wear, not only because it is chic, but also because it symbolizes positivity, hard work, love, and a better future.
