I like this Dude.

The first time I watched a movie about bowling. I don't hate or love bowling. I just play when I have the opportunity. The technique is very average and it's pure effort. There seem to be many people in the United States who like bowling. In many American TV shows and movies, many people even bring their own bowling balls. I think the most fascinating part of bowling is the sound of the collision of the bottles. It is very clear and beautiful, and when all the bottles are magically arranged by the machine and standing there, it also makes me sigh that this sport is really a technical activity.

Before watching it, I never thought that the cast of this film was so luxurious. It basically included all kinds of big stars in the near future. Steve had been mixed up in the movie so early, and his seemingly soy sauce role served as a foil. I really didn't expect Goodman to play such a hot veteran who would only mess things up. Is this a mockery of the Vietnam War? The accent of the German trio is good, and I can tell right away that the guy in the middle is actually the gang boss in "Prison Break".

Kidnapping, porn, weird artists, millionaires, the Middle East war, luxury star lineup, kind of "Pulp Fiction". The depiction of dreams in the film is fruitless, using very simple movie special effects to express the dreams again and again. The director does have two tricks. The music is great. The light and shadow scenes in this film are quite good and can be called a textbook.

The voice of the narrator is too similar to the protagonist, and I didn't distinguish it at first. What does that cowboy represent? The footprints of the times? Murder Green Toe, this kind of commercial translation really has domestic characteristics, or the film's original name is more brief. Dude, such an iconic character, may also express the feeling that many people were at a loss at the time, which is very similar to me now.
