I liked road-themed films for a while, and I came across this by accident. There is a kind of actor that no matter what kind of script she encounters, she can always guarantee her performance, just like Renée Zellweger. I will try my best to watch any of her films.
It is worth mentioning that the title is really eye-catching, and it takes people back to New York in the 1950s. This is also the same retro segment except for the streamlined car. After getting into the film, I realized that this is not just a film about a road trip. Although many bridges are just a little over, they are thought-provoking and intriguing.
For example, the relationship between Ann and her sister: her sister is sensitive and cowardly; Ann is cheerful and firm. The two women have chosen two completely different and even conflicting family models, one is fighting for the arrival of tomorrow in adventure; the other is calm in frustration. The relationship between Ann and the two sons is actually touching. Robbie's weak personality has become the object of Ann's complete care; George is sensitive and strong, but often conflicts with his mother. The emotional friction between Ann and George seems to be stronger. Sometimes they hurt each other, sometimes they protect each other. Only in the end George told Ann that this was where he belonged and he would never leave. I was really infected. . Watching George's psychological process along the way was also very tangled, and his narration really made my heart tighten. From his initial disapproval of his mother's seemingly crazy behavior, thinking that everything will return to its original point sooner or later, to finally discovering that the whole incident has always been a straight line, and there is no sadness after the original point at all; Every time I go back to find my mother's inner entanglement; from his unstoppable unease and uncertainty about the future to his final decision to go where he has no hesitation, I seem to have seen the growth process of a boy who has left his father.
It is said that this film is based on the rise of feminism in that era, but I seem to feel weakly that even now, it seems that not every 40-year-old woman can achieve such boldness and freedom. The character of Ann is fascinating in itself: noble, elegant, educated, obsessed with living a decent life, and despite her strong self-discipline, she swears at her son when he is almost beaten by the man she is about to marry, and swears to protect her to the death. She is full of love, constantly being cheated, but can adjust her mentality very well, and at dawn, no matter how much money is in her pocket, sometimes a brand new journey. She had a confident look in her eyes, as if she knew she was right, sure enough.
In other words, Ann chose a straight single line, even if he gave up the original loop line, he was still calm. Does the origin exist? Are you willing to go straight on?
