After watching some road movies, I will be a little bit familiar with the routines of this subject. The director often especially wants to use a pair of partners’ journey as a cross-section to show the society at the time of filming. Deliberately sensational, amused, deep, etc.
I suspect that this film director is a person with introverted and sensitive traits, and perhaps a little bit of homosexuality, because the lines and character performance will make my radar drip from time to time. For example, after Max and his sister slept, the next day they said that having sex is good for their health. Ryan asked Max, there was no woman in the place where you were before, so how do you make love? Max was speechless. For another example, he took advantage of Max when he was distracted and did a female step dance. And it is very obvious that Ryan was almost overpowered by a pimped gay.
Then there is Max’s younger sister Klee. She wandered around with her brother before. She wore overalls when she appeared on the stage. She lived in a house with flowers and flowers with a charming milf, Frankie, and came with a car of the same model. Fancy cart. Klee should represent a positive life and warm spirit. From the perspective of her mature sister's big breasts and no brains, it is very likely that Klee picked up the mature woman. Klee no longer wanders and starts to run a family recycling station. Sister is her partner.
I think this pair of sisters is a projection of Max and Ryan, including the names, Ryan's name is Francis, and the mature sister's name is Frankie, which seems to be corresponding names.
Frankie almost eagerly used everything she had in exchange for love. She was clumsy, but the milfs had the voice and character of a young girl. She was beaten by a bastard man all night before. Although Francis/Frank, who is thin and thin, became a father at his age, he has always used the comical behavior of a happy little boy to gain attention and love for himself or simply protect himself, and was beaten by a bastard man all night.
Furthermore, they don’t seem to long for physical giving, more they long for love. The hormones between Max and women don’t seem to affect Ryan at all. I suspect Ryan may not have the ability to love women. He needs a mother. I think Kerry has this potential for the kind of mother of the earth women who love him and he is willing to give for his mother. But his girlfriend is just a little woman, she probably saw this trait of Ryan, this man can't give her a sense of security like other men. Anna should love him very much, to the extent that she loves to hurt Ryan self-abuse and cut herself off from this desperate man. The best proof is that she gave birth to Ryan's son. As for men, the homosexuality of the prison gave Ryan a good job, and he could drink savagely with him, but Ryan would rather be nearly killed than have sex with him.
Although Frangie exuded female hormones and kept talking about Max, she faced Max who was drunk in the house, but she only helped him up instead of taking the opportunity to have a relationship. Perhaps, corresponding to Francis looking for a woman who is like a strong and gentle mother, Frangie is looking for a man who is like a strong and majestic father. In the movie, both of them choose people in need among the same sex. Francis chooses a strong and majestic father, and Frangi chooses a strong and gentle mother.
In addition, although Max wears a lot, he is not so cold. He just feels that only indifference can resist the indifference of the world. Perhaps his coldness on the outside and hotness on the inside coupled with his tall and roughness attracted these two who lack love.
Ryan is a naive and helpless child in Max’s eyes. Max, who wraps himself up with indifferent and violent madman, believes in him and picks him from the side of the road, instilling in him every day: You are my partner, we Go to Pittsburgh to wash the car together.
Judging from Ryan’s performance at Klee’s house, he longed for a stable and warm family, with yellow flowers painted on the sky-blue house. He and Max lived here and managed whatever they wanted. He and Max went to two extremes. : In Max’s brain circuit, he constantly brainwashed himself indifferent, skeptical and inhumane, but in fact he was upright and dedicated. He brainwashed himself as a ruthless businessman with business brainwashing, and Ryan was his business partner; Ryan was his business partner. Always hold the small table lamp for the child. When the table lamp is lit, it represents the light. To be held all the way is to hold the hope for the light. Ryan pursues love, whether it is a woman’s or a man’s love. Pursue a sense of existence, avoid violence as much as possible, and be willing to be a clown to make others laugh.
He mentioned that he was beaten mercilessly by a nun at Sunday school when he was a child. Max asked him, how can you bear that old woman treats you this way? Ryan said that it was not an old woman, she was a nun. Therefore, in the growth of Ryan's character, the repressive and rigid environment trained his obedience. On the first day he met Max, he was allowed to give himself the name Ryan. The majesty of the women represented by the nuns also gave him a mentality similar to that of children in the undifferentiated period. He yearns for love and protection, has strong sensitivity and intuition, but because he pays too much attention to love and hope, he will be completely disillusioned. was destroyed.
The name of the movie comes from the joke that Ryan told. The scarecrow didn't scare the crow away, but the crow saw the scarecrow so ridiculous. He laughed. Forget it, the scarecrow is like this. We won't attack it anymore.
It seems that both Ryan and Max think that they are scarecrows. Max thinks that they are the old scarecrows abandoned by the times. They can only wave their old fists weakly and drive away the crows around as much as possible, but they can only let the crows treat him. He laughed, but in order to save Ryan, he was willing to turn himself into a scarecrow that was so funny that he could laugh at crows. Ryan felt that he was a scarecrow. As long as he had the value of being funny to others, the crow would not attack him. The farmers also needed him. He was happy to bring joy to others. But that same-sex rape experience shredded his protective layer, and those who really wanted to hurt him would not let him go because of his comical. The joyous comical was vulnerable to pure violence, which also proved the crow. It’s not just laughing at the scarecrow. If the crow has strong enough claws, it will still tear the scarecrow, and for the strong crow, tearing the scarecrow is also a kind of funny, just as the gay Riley said, he thinks he is. Things for little fun in life. Ryan’s final collapse also originated here. He found that his ability and meaning to survive in this world was easily trampled to pieces. After he was released from prison, he had begun to weariness of the world. When Max showed violence again At that time, Ryan may have thought of the violent experience, determination and violent decision, until Max abandoned his own law of survival for him, and used Ryan’s always funny survival law to resolve the violence, one by one to get rid of his own. Cold-blooded disguised, exposed himself to the world unguardedly like before, and used such sacrifices to make Ryan come back. From this perspective, he loved Ryan more than himself at that moment. at the same time,
The emotions between the two of them are interactive. At first, it was the weak and funny Ryan who entrusted his pursuit to the powerful Max. He used the funny and clumsy to obtain Max’s protection and attention, and followed loyally to make Max heavy. Picking up the courage, he himself gained strength from Max, but Max gave him no family and warmth in the future, and abandoned him in prison and blamed his responsibility on him, which led to that night’s The assault, so he still pinned all his hopes on Annie and his children, that was his beacon. He even went to church to pray before seeing Annie, but Annie lied to him and he killed his son, who could only go to hell because he could only go to hell. This is the last crow to tear up the scarecrow. Ryan is completely mad. His eyes are hollow and exaggerated to attract the children's attention, asking them if they like long johnny, he is the weird long johnny, and he picks up a child step by step. Walking towards the depths of the pool and being picked up by Max, this funny boy once roared: I want to fight with them! The growth that transformed into a man killed him.
But since Ryan collapsed, Max seemed to have completely walked out of the shell of indifference step by step. He unreservedly warmed the man he hatched. Later, he could not give up Ryan, who had no business partner value. He is willing to be a laughter scarecrow himself, and even willing to destroy the Pittsburgh car wash plan in the past ten years, and use all the 200,000 from businesses in exchange for Ryan to continue to accompany him. He can no longer return to the state of being alone.
They are mutual watchers in the wheat field.
After half a month of writing, it suddenly occurred to me one night that the director had never shown that Max’s 200,000 in Pittsburgh was real. Perhaps, Max will encounter the same disillusionment as Ryan in Pittsburgh, and find that the hope that he pursues all the way is phantom. He can't save Ryan or himself. Only two hopeless scarecrows are laughed at by crows all over the world.
