It took two days to watch the movie, and the split point of the two days was the plot where Raphael was rescued after his first failed crossing. Although it took 2 days to watch the movie, as long as the soundtrack that repeats the melody sounds, the emotions on the first day can continue to the second day without weakening, which may indicate that the soundtrack of the film has been done perfectly. It does its job - rendering the mood of the film, and it does even more, acting as a switch for the audience's mood. The melody sounded, and the emotions followed. There are many other examples of this type. For example, as soon as the guitar in Brokeback Mountain is played, you can immediately feel the vast emotions of the western mountains and grasslands in the film.
This is really a good script. First of all, it has a basic story structure full of humanistic concern but full of suspense - a boy who is a refugee from the Iraq War trying to swim across the channel between Britain and France to meet his girlfriend. On the basis of this basic structure, the screenwriter further enriched the story. Two characters, Simon and Ralphie's friend, were introduced. Among them, the description of Simon is very in-depth. Part of the reason is that the director wants to express the topic of the crisis of middle-aged men, on the one hand, it also serves the basic story. A deep description of it can solve a basic logical problem, why Simon decided to help Ralphie.
Although this is a literary film, the director pays attention to the description of emotions, but in fact, there are many conflicts and suspense parts in this film, and there are also many small details. The opening chapter begins with a tense smuggling process. The smuggling process is exciting, and the smuggling finally leads to the fact that the psychological impact of the Ralphie War is also involved.
In fact, part of the viewing process that interested me was why Simon decided to help Ralphie. Although the answer is undoubtedly because of Simon's midlife crisis. For some reason, I've always been interested in this kind of story of a middle-aged man's mid-life crisis. Movies like Lost in Translation and Life with a Glass of Wine and In the Clouds are among my favorites.
Simon was a national swimming champion but now he is only a swimming coach. He has just divorced his wife and is completely unable to adapt to a lonely life. Now that he has completely lost his life, he has become completely powerless and exhausted, and he is at a loss. He urgently needs one thing to regain the focus of his life. I have always been interested in the living conditions of diaosi middle-aged men. Their life and career have stagnated, their youthful dreams have gradually faded away, their physical functions have declined rapidly, the familiar wives and children around them have become more and more unfamiliar, as well as their fear of old age and their thinking about the meaning of life . How do they get through this period.
Of course, the other reason is of course because of love. . . Because his wife is a member of a group assisting refugees, Simon has also blamed Simon for being indifferent to the refugees. Maybe at first Simon helped Raphael in Tokyo because he wanted to save his wife and tried to express himself with this incident. When he found that he could no longer save his wife's love, he was moved by Raphael's dedication to love. --- "He walked 8,000,000 kilometers to France, and now he wants to cross the strait just to meet his girlfriend, but I have no courage to save you who are on the street." He sets out to help fill his inability in love with a fairytale love story.
