To me, the movie also seems to have a mild Lyme disease. While enduring its chaos, fragmentation, and looseness, one cannot deny the local splendor and the sophisticated handling of emotional issues. In short, the movie "Lime Life" uses the specific "Lyme disease" to make it a symbol, like a diseased and decayed old tree trunk in the winter still waiting for the leafy summer.
The film tells about two families. The seemingly happy family of four Mickeys, with the other heroine, the Charlie family living hard. The story blazed a bright trail in the three types of emotional conflicts, but from the beginning to the end, a victim was locked. Adriana’s father Charlie, unfortunately a patient with Lyme disease, had to wear a green hat husband, there was no social interaction but loneliness. Middle-aged man.
As for the three types of emotional conflicts, they intersect in trivial life stories. Parents and children, couples face indifference and affair, and a pair of children's first love, like a messy life diary, collecting the true face.
After all the protective measures are taken, there is still a chance of "winning", one in ten thousand falls on the head, that is, one hundred percent. Adriana caught a small flying insect on Scott's neck, and Charlie said it was not a tick. who knows? Many years later, will Scott and Adriana’s true love also be buried in the marriage grave plagued by illness?
Growth is a must. No matter who it is, the process of growth cannot be monotonous. You must fall a few times before you can be proud of you in the future. Before his mother Boy Scott knew that his father had betrayed his mother, he had always resented his mother's weird character in his heart. He used mild rebelliousness to deal with all environments that were no longer harmonious, until his brother Jim went home to visit relatives, his father was absent at the table, and Scott lonely fought against his mother and his brother. His hostility to his mother was exposed and he began to understand the rapport. The truth hidden by the happiness mask.
For the misfortune of the Mickey family, it seems that "money" is at work. From Queens to Long Island, the small house was to be replaced with a big one. The salesperson turned and became a nouveau riche, and the love drifted from thick to nowhere. The life in Queens remains in the good memories of Jim and his mother, and the life in Long Island belongs to Scott. He is still protected and grown up like a child. The peace has not been completely shattered. It is impossible for him to doubt what he thinks is true and happy. And loyal, let alone doubt his father’s dedication to the family, and his great image. Perhaps the whole family is hiding the fact that the family is unhappy, just to continue to maintain the illusion of calm.
The pity mother hates his father's eldest son Jim, his appearance heralds a good show. In the restaurant, Mickey and Adriana’s mother danced affectionately. When Jim walked and accused his father of asking for flowers and asking Liu, and hurting his mother and family, that paragraph brought the story to a climax. In my opinion, this plot is also a particularly meaningful part of the whole play. It has to be said that Alec, Baldwin's super cool acting skills promoted the visibility of this segment. On the dance floor, Alec Baldwin wandered the body of a middle-aged man, flirting openly with his mistress in front of his wife, completely indifferent, and the performance was so wonderful that it was not only the good women who thrilled him.
For the Charlie family, the problem is due to life. The woman's shoulders are still too thin, she wants to refuse temptation, but she can't drive away loneliness. She doesn't care about prosperity, she still has to run for firewood, rice, oil and salt. The problem is that the backbone of the family has become a dangerous wall that burdens him, and the once healthy husband has become a trance-like medicine jar. I don’t know how to use morality to defeat this woman’s betrayal, and I don’t know what reason to forgive her selfishness and ruthlessness, only regret and pity.
Parents’ problems are left to them to solve. Putting aside the annoying troubles, there is a goddess in Scott’s pure spiritual world, pretending to be a mature and happy girl, Adriana. The two children, who were traumatized by the family to varying degrees, pulled the saw to compose an ignorant youth song. In the end, the two children tasted the forbidden fruit and opened a new world that belonged to them. Some were sad and some were pleased. The combination of happiness and sadness can make life easier. They are all injured children. At this time, they have the purest true love and need to warm each other. But in the bright future, can they still share the sweetness and bear the same suffering?
Recalling this movie, Charlie's last gunshot rang in his ears. The gun was aimed at his wife who had hurt his wife, his wife's lover Mickey, and the deer who brought him disaster. Whether that was his illusion or reality, it must be life that gave him hope of getting rid of misfortune.
