Will Smith is really good. In Hollywood, style is a very important thing. If you have your own style, you can dominate a party, because here is a gathering of heroes, it is impossible to be almighty. For example, Jonny Depp, his films from "Edward Scissorhands" to "Headless Horseman" to "Pirates of the Caribbean" to "Sweeney Todd" and later "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", he always plays lonely , Quirky, cynical character, no one can match him. Another example is Kevin Spacey, "Seven Deadly Sins", "American Beauty", "The Life of David Gore", "21" and "Shrink" which will be released in 2009. They are dark, indifferent, independent, and firm. These temperaments are interpreted by him. , The total score is three points. Such people include Nicolas Cage, John Cusack and so on. Of course, except for some old drama bones, such as Meryl Streep, and Sean Penn, who just won the Oscar for best actor.
But Will Smith is different, not to mention that he can sing and dance like Hugh Jackman, he seems to be able to experiment with movie styles. "Independence Day", "Men in Black" and even "I, Robot" only prove that he is a black actor in a commercial film with a guaranteed box office, but in any case, he cannot avoid silently proving him like "Hitch". Comedy talent. And when you think he is only there, he uses "I Am Legend" to tell everyone how he can completely prop up a movie by himself (well, the box office is average), and also uses "Hancock" to tell you, superhero In the movie, he can do his part with gadolinium. Maybe you would say that this is too noisy. Okay, please calm down and take a look at the 2006 "The Persuit of Happyness" (when happiness knocks on the door) and the 2008 "Seven Pounds" (seven pounds, I don’t know if there is a better translation). One is an optimistic little man who lives from desperation, and the other is a decisively sad little man. Will chooses to appear in such a movie, which shows that he and his agent have unique insights. It also shows that Will will have a unique vision in the field of art films. Fantiandi. I wonder why "Seven Pounds" has nothing to do with Oscar if it is a movie in 2008.
---------------Split it, the above is far apart---------------
Only "Seven Pounds", there is not a single extra in the whole film The scene, the various plots that seem to be disrupted, are actually like a jigsaw puzzle in the end, which can spell out a complete picture of sadness, making you lament its poignant beauty.
Ben (played by Will Smith) killed 7 people in a car accident. In addition to the pain of losing his wife, he lost all his desires for life. But before he died, he wanted to redeem his sins. His death was actually an atonement, but he still wanted to be able to help 7 people in the same way, so that he could walk more at ease. Because the story is not a running account of how he helped others, I started counting after watching the movie. Which seven people did he help? If you have watched the movie and you have forgotten a little, I will help you remember: Ben’s brother, Ben gave him a lung; Holy, the old lady who gave Ben the name of a woman who needed help, she got Ben The right liver; the woman provided by Holy, she and the child got Ben’s house by the sea and a new life; the ice hockey coach George, got a kidney of Ben; the little boy Nicolas, Ben donated his bone marrow; Ezra, got He got Ben's cornea; and our heroine Emily got Ben's heart.
I carefully wondered why the movie was called seven pounds. Can the rescue of 7 people be measured by weight? Can the weight of helping these 7 people be equal to the weight of the 7 people who died in a car accident? And can a person's suffering be quantified in this way? If it were not for the merchant of Venice, I would be puzzled.
The reason for the matter could have been explained in a very simple way. Therefore, the director used a lot of scattered shots and slowly and little by little to explain it to everyone. In fact, this is not a particularly clever technique. But because of this, many unidentified shots we saw before can find the answer in the end. For example, when Ben went to see Holy, we saw Holy's expression. It is difficult to judge why she is like this and what is the relationship with Ben. ; There is also the slow motion of the woman rolling in the car, obviously not Ben’s wife, who is she; for example, why Ben raises jellyfish in his own room... Patiently shots tell this sad story. You need to have A little bit of patience to experience.
impermanence of life. After I buy a car, I often worry about car accidents. This kind of worry does not come from my own safety, but the safety of friends and passers-by. So I think Ben is a very typical example of being unable to get rid of after a sudden disaster. What he offers us is a possibility, and also the most painful possibility. At one time, Ben's giving up of life lit up a twisted light, but this light was finally extinguished by love.
So in my opinion, this is a movie that goes from using death to atonement to using death to fulfill it. Of course, if it's just the unforgettable feeling of guilt, that kind of arbitrarily parting feeling, it's just that Ben has completely lost the desire to live because of the car accident, and just wants to use the greatest kindness to help a few people in need before committing suicide. This can already move people. However, what allowed this kind of emotion to sublimate was the final fulfillment of death. After Ben met Emily, he once relived the sweetness of love and regained a little hope for life. It was only God's will to make people. Emily's hope of survival was so slim that he could only be exchanged for Ben's death. The deepest love in the world is not to be possessed, but to be given up. So in the end, everything was actually the same as Ben’s original plan. He committed suicide and rescued 7 people, including Emily. However, for Ben and Emily, death is not only atonement, but also a great accomplishment, which makes people heartbreaking. The completion of the lungs.
In any case, what kind of pain can make people firm to death is left to us to figure out.
I like the performance of one of them very much, that is Woody Harrelson, the actor of the blind Ezra. This kind of acting school, who is a bit happy and evil, played a kind blind man here. When he called Ben to sell beef, he was humiliated by Ben for no reason. When he was a disabled person, his tolerance, tolerance, helplessness, and pain were written on the face with blank eyes. The smile that we are familiar with and unfamiliar with belongs to the weak, and it hits the soul so directly.
Emily and Ben played a seemingly boring game called "What If". Emily said, what if my pager rang, what if someone donated a heart, what if the operation was successful, my body did not reject it, what if I could regain real health.
Her what if has become reality, but the ending of the game is equally imperfect.
What If, all uncontrollable life transformations are calm and breezy.
