like watching a lot of pornographic movies, and we will definitely find female classmates (of course only similar-looking female stars) in the film. We will always miss it accidentally and look for it in a waiting posture. In fact, in the physical world of endless combinations of random factors, all the coincidences, including humans, do not have any superfluous meaning, but we can not forget how human beings in the fairyland can easily abandon their skills from a peach pit when they were young. The self-entertainment temperament of weaving strange fantasy, as a poetic observer beside the second similar scenery by the river of each destiny, oblivious to coincidence involving this end of the chain of cause and effect, recalling the other end, coveting more meaning and more peach-core wonderland A kind of self-entertainment.
The other end of the causal chain was in 2009. The "big fan" that year in my memory was just a simple movie, which I saw and forgotten by accident. The reason why this coincidental movie was not meaningful at the time was that the "Inglourious Basterds" was too dazzling at the time; the other was that I had only just begun to experience a series of rushes and conflicts, and I had not yet reached enough heat to become what I am now. Myself, so this film that can actually ridiculously interpret my personal pursuits and beliefs in life did not surprise me at the time; third, because I did not put my heart in my chest, stubbornly chasing the sea in my heart, Several unsuccessful date endings hung in the background music of wandering under the night sky, and the sky showed that it was just a transit point in the trance.
There are still many things that happened in 2009, but the past has become Sichuan after autumn and spring. If it is possible to become a memory in 2012, then one of the beautiful things is to meet the "big fan"
"Dao Si's inspiration book" again.
Paul (Patton Oswalt), a garage manager in Staten Island, New York, 35-year-old dick, the loser in the eyes of his relatives, and his only friend Sal (played by Kevin Corrigan) is a textbook version of white trash, and he is also a New York giant A big fan of the football team. Paul spends all his time focusing on the Giants. Every night he repeats the monotonous and contemptuous work that even the payers verbally insults the payer in the cramped space the size of the toll booth box in the garage, the street. In the noise throughout the night, he always paid attention to the only lively thing around him-the radio, and wrote down the inspiration he got when listening to sports hotline programs in his notebook. Paul returned home at 1 a.m. and dialed the 760 MHz Sports Radio hotline in New York. On behalf of the Giants, he ridiculed the players of the Philadelphia team and bombarded another seed-level enthusiastic audience in this show with sharp language according to the inspiration book—— Phil supporting the Eagles. There are 24 hours and 1440 minutes every day. Only the hot comment on the hotline is the minute Paul shines and catches fire. The Giants harvested the last opponent. He laughed and cursed on the radio and harvested the other fans who paled in comparison. Complaint comments.
If you say "get acquainted with people" is an appropriate metaphor for "watching a movie", the first five minutes of this film can be compared to "face face". The first impression of "big fan" is classified by the label of "blind date and pure cock". It's "A cup is too ugly to watch". Fortunately, I am a social fan who has not weak imagination and forgetfulness, not demanding, not afraid of meeting people and being afraid of not knowing people well. I am familiar with face skills and familiar with the opening paragraph is the best way to reflect the unique cinematic narrative. The attractive appearance of artistic charm. Because of the multi-level and various clues, it is difficult for us to easily and conveniently guess what the director is going to take us from the two simple scenes of this boring protagonist and the opening of the film. But if you patiently watch to the end and then look at the beginning again, you can only figure out the excellence of Robert D. Siegel, who took three years to complete the "Wrestling King" script. In this self-written and self-directed film, he only used five. The minute and rhythmic narrative quietly laid the groundwork for the conflict between the protagonist Paul and his mother and the congenial interests with his friends, creating this ordinary and ordinary little character with thrifty and plain language.
PS I also have an inspiration book
"Daosi’s Three Views" In other
words, examples of this level of organization of film language and structure of story frames can be seen everywhere. My personal pursuit of the love and admiration of screenwriting skills is only the reason why I found the film for the second time. , It's not worth explaining too much (if the gold robbery is stunned, it is worth explaining more than that). What is remarkable about this film is that he is a "humorous and humanistic masterpiece" (media commentary)
Life, world, and value are the three primary colors of human souls, red, yellow and blue. You can pick someone up on the road and undress. Mao, peeling and picking meat, slicing bones and blowing ashes, and then drag him to the ideological realm of religion, if he is still alive, if he can speak-can't go to other places, other places must be dead-you Asked him, "Tell me what the hell are you?", after a mouthful--how could he have to say "I provoke you" before answering your question, and a similar rhetorical question—his The answer is nothing more than the combination of these three colors, and most of the answers given by most people are gray and not the same color as the window sill that has not been wiped for two months: "I have only married a wife in my life" "This world is not Great" "I think it's good to marry two at once." If you encounter a big black and white buddy who "I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood", you are lucky enough to win the lottery.
This group of colors, this bunch of clean and unclean things, don’t care about at least pure things. This "what" is the human nature that we talk about every day, "Nature and quality" ("Guangya"), don't go. Its form, how can you see its quality? If you want to get two wives like the one who was stripped of skin and bones, congratulations, you are window sill gray. After reincarnation, try to make it into star gray, slate gray, and matte gray. If you want something other than your wife, maybe the whole Royal blue, saddle brown, khaki or something.
This bit of humanity is our beliefs, pursuits, ideals, and the remaining spirit after throwing away the material form. Paul’s spirit is not the common window sill gray. Window sill gray people pursue too much for clothes and bones and for "life", too little for "quality" that cannot be bought with money, and more importantly, the pursuit of window sill gray There is little happiness in it. Paul is happy, and this happiness will be doubled because it is obtained after giving. This happiness is invincible, because it can overcome the pain of the flesh and the pressure from the family; this happiness is also priceless, because there is only one way to obtain and cannot be purchased for exchange; this happiness can withstand the test, because the spirit is It is not ruined; this happiness is for good, because the pursuit of happiness will not be deceived by the world.
For Paul, his Garden of Eden and faith in loyalty are obviously only related to the Giants. You can know Paul's answer "I'm a Giants fan" without loosing hair and bones. Everyone has an idol, everyone has a belief, everyone has their own happiness, and everyone can become a hardcore fan. But the genius Robert proved the superficial hypocrisy of the window sill gray that also has a small spiritual world. . He made Pual so impoverished that he could not afford a ticket and could only watch the live broadcast on TV outside the stadium, ruthlessly took the basic power of ordinary fans who cheered on the spot from Paul, and arranged a series of events to put Paul in an ordinary fan. Let him struggle in the predicament that he dares to imagine, and blaspheme his idol to test the bottom line. 被自己钟爱的巨人队球星Bishop揍伤躺在医院昏迷3天，睁眼后Paul的第一句话却是问巨人队上一场的比分；警察介入伤人事件调查，因为不想让Bishop继续被The suspension Paul did not choose to confess; when the brother of a lawyer who specializes in personal injury cases filed a lawsuit against his opposition and claimed 77 million US dollars, Paul had to choose to put himself in jail in order to avoid trial. In a series of conflicts, we saw Paul's loyalty and passion for the Giants as always.
In this way, Robert has created an unrepeatable fan.
"Battle of Diosi"
Leo Tolstoy once said: "Art originated from a person who wanted to convey the feelings he had experienced to others, so he re-evoked this feeling in his heart and expressed it with some external sign." After watching this film for the second time, I wishfully believe that the artistic image of Paul is a reproduction of the author's own experience of Robert D. Siegel-the persistent pursuit is reduced to a laughing stock, and the choice of compromise is only one step away from the huge reward. At all times, the greatest perseverance in front of the vulgar and mean can achieve the loneliest dignity. This movie made me willingly regard Paul and Robert as my idols, and thank God for this coincidence that God bestowed on me, which made me cherish blood on my pilgrimage.
Diaosi is not a term that allows you to evoke sympathy. From "Rocky" 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to "Million Dollar Baby", to last year's "Steel Fist", the theme of Diaosi's battle is enduring for a long time. Seeing the huge mass foundation of grassroots culture can also summarize the characteristics of the screen roles advocated by movie fans and the ideal value connotation of the American people represented by them.
These screen characters must be at the bottom of the society, especially the protagonist's character portrayal like this film needs to rely on strong dramatic conflicts. Only when the characters are so low and boring can the audience experience enough of the contrast in the role behavior. Psychological contrast. At the beginning of the film, Paul made the audience feel that his goal in life is as humble and worthless as his life itself, but after the film’s narrative is completed, I believe that every audience will have an infinite attitude towards his ideals and his attitude towards ideals. respect. This is also very easy to understand within the scope of American culture. The United States is a country that promotes freedom of belief and lifestyle. Christianity, Judaism, Muslims, Jehovah’s Witnesses, etc. cover all people. Good men and women believe in their own beliefs, except In addition, people have their own value pursuits and beliefs in life, but everyone pays for their goals in different degrees, so people all regard the perfection in their hearts that they believe in the goal as their idols. And Robert externalizes the idealized self shared by the audience as the protagonist of the movie, which makes Paul, who has withstood a huge test and is still loyal even after being beaten by an idol, has enough tension to resonate with the audience.
Realistic narrative techniques are as essential as humorous elements. If the dicks come with real swords and guns, "kill a person in ten steps, never stay for a thousand miles", then how can Mission Impossible eat the heroes to save the world? Dios don't care about the success of the battle, as long as the battle is tragic. In the movie "Rocky", Rocky did not defeat the champion, but his failure reflected his own value. Rocky does not need to succeed, because there is no difference between victory and defeat. Even if he wins, he will no longer have the opportunity to become a professional boxer. What is important is his courage and unremitting willpower when standing on the ring (the comments here are slightly redundant, but I always think that Rocky is a realism and legendary masterpiece that inspired me to write film reviews for me). The fate of the realist characters at the end is always the only magic weapon for the audience to talk and comment after leaving the theater. Paul didn't have the opportunity to change himself, he didn't have the opportunity to change his parents and his brother who had already filed a lawsuit. He also knew that he had no chance to clarify himself on the radio. He chose to accept the challenge of the Eagles fan Phil to confront face to face.
After raising the paintball gun at Phil, Paul tragically told the world his deep helpless complaint "...and it wears me out", another ruthless tragedy of a lover in the world, but he is not a hero or a stone. Ruthless monk, he is just a flesh-and-blood fan of deconstructing the belief of deconstructing heroes; what he shoots from the muzzle is not a group of enemy bullets, but a paintball that humiliates and frightens another dick; what he said after his opponent fell was not " "I'll come back" is not "I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood", he just said viciously "Eagle Sucks!" At the end of the battle, Paul ran away, and the music on the road sounded light music, as meaningless as light and light. The ink spreading in the water is as free and unrestrained as the color that is exclusive to diaosi that has nothing to do with the grandeur.
Thank you readers for seeing this and enduring nearly 4,000 words of "movie reviews". Do you still remember Yang Lijuan? Have you changed your opinion of her a little bit?
The next preview: I don’t know how many fucking times I’ve been crazy after I finished writing this article. The "Snickers take a bite" thing is not as powerful as the advertisement. This issue can be regarded as a bonus. The next issue will be a comparative film review based on the old ways to write two films together. Please look forward to "My Way" and "Sister Tao".
