From the beginning of the movie, due to the relationship between the characters, I kept thinking of squid and whales.
I have always felt that Juan is a very special actor. He is a very interesting writer and screenwriter. Reading all his short columns and watching his interviews will rekindle my love a hundred times. As an actor, his personal characteristics are very strong. There are many thoughtful layouts and projections. Many times I feel that he is presenting a certain profile of himself, kneading his profile and the setting of the character together to become a Very personal character. He certainly didn't just play himself, but when he played himself, he was very touching and cute.
After ten years of reincarnation, the angry young people in the squid and the whale are also at a loss and tired of facing the multitude of life under fierce fire. The roles of the two eldest sons in the two movies are far more than age, sexual experience, and the difference between long curly hair and short straight hair. Some of his sharp temperament has become softer, and his deep confusion has become calm. It seems that they are all the most natural. Things are probably the so-called power of time. I watched the scene of Teacher Juan holding the child several times at the beginning of the movie, and I saw the shadow of a pony wearing shorts, slippers, GAP, and a torn backpack running across the snowy Harvard campus. Who hasn't been a windy boy? Time is the cruelest judge and the most gentle old friend. The screen faithfully records the growth of the person you love, which is really subtle and touching.
As for the movie itself, it is very delicate, narrative, picture and even your skin. The most memorable scene is that the younger brother and the girl he crushed came back from the party. She hid behind the car and relieved her hand. The urine was winding down the inclination of the road and flowing down to his feet. I think this is probably the night that this sensitive teenager will never forget.
In the movie, whether father, brother, or younger brother, they all experience the aftershocks of losing their wife and mother at the same time. The pain slowly accumulates and slows down the shock, so that they can see that betrayal and lies exist, but we are used to deceiving ourselves. , To endure living in the fear of loss, "and to have it, you must first understand how to accept loss."
Originally, I silently put it on the list of unmarried people in my heart. Later, I thought about the marriage, love, and ideals in the movie, which are not wrapped in lies and silence. The still water flows deep and fiercely fired.
