The film "Billionaire" is the third feature feature film of director Miranda Jolie. It was shortlisted for the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of this year and the "Director's Fortnight" in Cannes, which was cancelled due to the epidemic.
Obviously, this film is not well received;
Although the title is a billionaire, it tells a story about the bottom of society. The first act of the film shows the life of this thief and fraud. The relationship in the family is only a cooperative relationship. The scene of a family of three standing in front of the station in the first scene is also shown. The background of the old dolio played by Demei is a wall that occupies a huge picture, representing her depressed heart, and the so-called "parents" A long distance away from her. This scene of the post office stealing is a bit like a genre movie, especially when Demei rolls forward and hides in the blind spot of the camera. It smells like Brother Atang in Mission Impossible.
As Melanie enters their lives, old dolio also finds that normal family life is not like this. She longs for a new life (a wall in the rental house where they live sees red bubbles every night, and the three people set an alarm every day to clean up on time. , And the red bubble was not cleared up in time when Melanie played, it also represents the love and warmth that old dolio was trying to erase).
There was a scene in the middle that was very impressive (the four of them were trying to collect the $1,500 rent of McGoofen). They came to an old man who had lived alone for a long time to steal money for replacement. The old man hoped that they would make some money out of this place as their own home. The sound of silverware, playing the piano, watching his son’s favorite golf game show, and chatting about homework (the warm color of the brown solid wood furniture in the living room and the sunlight shining through the windows is the same as the closed doors and windows in the bedroom without natural light. The color contrast is warm and sad, and it also reflects the current situation of the family. Before his death, the old man still believed that his children were not bad but just busy at work.
The growth of old dolio is mainly at two points. One is the breast crawl that she heard in the maternal and child class, which implies the lack of maternal love in her growth (this paragraph reminds me of the crossing in "Become John Malkovich" The hole is also the point where the mother body separates)
The second is the addition of melanie, which contributed to the completion of McGovern's rent, which allowed old dolio to reflect on his former family and pave the way for the relationship between the two of them (in fact, the dark line of love between two people can also be written as friendship. To be fair, I think Old Dolio's feelings for Melanie are more of an attachment to maternal love, just like the scene in a convenience store where she imitated baby crawling).
At the end, I thought my parents had reconciled with the old dolio, but when I woke up the next day, I found that everything in the house and the $1,575 on the check were looted;
Old Dolio and Melanie exchanged the remaining eighteen birthday gifts and necklaces and found that exactly 525 dollars (the money that the family of three negotiated and divided equally) once again showed the cold-blooded "parents".
Among them, the loneliness of growing up is also shown in many shots, for example, at the beginning, old dolio secretly shed tears during massage;
In front of the preschool education (the wall in the background of the camera here is obviously a line separating preschool education and old dolio, when the preschool education’s hand stretches over this line and puts it on her shoulders, it breaks through her inner line of defense, and the camera also Gradually zoom in).
Overall, the look and feel is very good. The new director has a good grasp of the camera, and Demei's acting skills are also very good, showing this sense of loneliness very well.
In fact, there are still many places to talk, such as the representative toothpick that was laid before, which supports the dark line of the two people's feelings.
There is also Demei's clothing. Green generally symbolizes vitality and vitality, which is completely opposite to her character. The color of the clothing is also integrated with the green steel wall of the construction site next to the rental house, showing the protagonist's closed world. Later, Melanie wore a pink tube top skirt when eating with her parents (she never wore clothes that exposed her limbs before), which also represented her breaking through the shackles of the past.
