At the beginning of the movie, Steve (Adrien Brody), who was sunk in a chair in the dark, had a vague facial expression, revealing a little bit of fear, shyness, and anxiety about the real world, and suddenly a stone was thrown in my heart, making me I kept looking at it so intently.
Just such a guy we usually call a waste, living with his parents at 30, going to community college for two years but giving up halfway, working for a company he doesn't even know what it's making, thinking The squid who wanted to fire the boss freely and easily was fired before he opened his mouth. He spoke softly, treated people with sincerity and fear, and his behavior was slow. There was a crack in the lens of his glasses. Even his sister, whose marriage failed, said unceremoniously to him: "Steve, you are such a loser!" And he can only rely on the support of his neurotic friend Fangora (Milla Jovovich) to live with the puppets he bought. . It is also worth mentioning that Milla Jovovich's brilliant performance in it. Born in Ukraine and raised in the United States, his appearance is obviously Eastern European style, but his every move is playful and uninhibited in the United States. In Dummy, she plays a rude and straightforward young rock girl. Nine out of ten sentences are "f*cking" as an adjective, which is a disservice to Steve, but she is furious at him, and it doesn't take long for her to take the initiative to run to Steve. The family demands reconciliation, which makes people laugh.
The portrayal of the joys and sorrows of the little people on the screen is often more intimate than the rendering of the big heroes. After all, life is the most faithful blueprint for movies. In fact, it is never too late to be 30 years old. The important thing is to know what you want. At the end, Steve hugs and dances with the woman he loves, winks at the camera playfully, and his previous timidity is gone. In reality, we were like lambs that were driven forward and didn't know what their purpose was, but Steve finally regained his confidence, as the saying goes, stupid people are lucky, but Steve is not really stupid, he is a People who just want to work at their own pace may not have real dreams, but in the process of walking and singing, they gradually understand the meaning of happiness. Don't people live to please themselves?
By the way, Milla personally sang rock and roll in this film, and the ventriloquism of the puppets was all done by Adrien Brody. This work was completed before AB Oscar became famous, and it fully demonstrated AB as an actor. potential.
