A movie you will love

During the Easter holidays in the past four days, I watched seven of the seventeen films I selected at this Hong Kong International Film Festival, and I watched them all at once yesterday, breaking my personal record! In these seven films , My favorite must be Wim Wenders' Don't Come Knocking. The Chinese title is a bit funny, but it also tells the story of the movie. I

like watching German director Wim Wenders' movies, not too difficult Ming, and very personal style. "Don't Come Knocking" is a bit of Hollywood movies, with a strong emphasis on music, using T. Bone Burnett's music, I think many viewers will look for its original motion picture. soundtrack.

The actor Sam Shepard in the movie was originally a well-known screenwriter. After successfully co-creating "Paris, Texas" with the director in 1984, he collaborated again today 20 years later. I don’t know if I read the introduction, the script took three years to go. Finished, Shepard focused more on the role rather than the plot of the movie in the process. After they created the role of Howard Spence, the story slowly developed. After the script was completed, they only took 36 days to complete the entire shooting process. It’s really surprising.

Although the actor in the play is a cowboy star in his fifties, the audience needn’t be afraid to resonate, because the movie is not about the cowboy and his movies, but about his lost life and the search for never The children who have met. The film describes a lot of family relationships, including mother-child love, father-daughter love, father-child love, and love, but also about atonement.

Jessica Lange's performance is still proficient. I like Gabriel Mann, who plays Howard's son Earl, very handsome. Faces are highly reversible.

I really like to watch a section of Howard and his mother (Eva Marie Saint). The son who disappeared for decades went back to see his mother. The lonely old man lived well, and everything he did to his son was only tolerant and accepted, without deliberately trying to go. Understand. The deep-rooted affection and mother's gentle feeling can be seen clearly on the female

actor 's face. A movie you will love.

Don't Come Knocking quotes

  • Earl: [singing] Where is Howard? Who is Howard? We wanna know, we wanna know. Where is Howard? Who is Howard? Where did he go, where did he go? He's down in the ditches. He's down in the ground. Disappeared himself. He's no-where to be found! Where is Howard? Who is Howard? He's long gone, he's long gone.

  • Howard Spence: Mind if I turn the radio on?

    Sutter: Yes, I do, as a matter of fact. I don't like outside influence.

    Howard Spence: Outside?

    Sutter: That's right. The world at large. It's a nasty place. Why allow it in? Livestalk reports, Navajo chanting, beheadings, bestiality. Nothing's changed. Black Death, the Inquisition, the Crusades, conquest of Mexico. What's changed?

    Howard Spence: I was thinking...

    Sutter: What?

    Howard Spence: I don't know.

    Sutter: Nothing's changed.

    Howard Spence: Guess not.
