"The Boulevard"
Robin Williams is the last posthumous work. Robin is the most famous comedian in Hollywood. He did not expect to have played so many comedians but ended in suicide. The psychological problems of comedians should not be underestimated. In addition to comedy, Robin also acted in many good works. The movies "Mind Catcher" and "Death Poetry Society" impressed me deeply. He is also a prolific actor. Before committing suicide, he took many films. The reasons for suicide were varied. He said that he was in financial crisis. The alimony of his first two wives overwhelmed him and said he was overwhelmed. Drugs and alcoholism, then mental illness, depression. The problem must be there, and the answer is meaningless. But Robin's work will stay, and many years later, people will watch his movies and think of him, remembering the once comedian. "The Boulevard" is a movie about pursuing oneself and returning to the standard. It seems to be a story of homosexuality, but to a greater extent, it says that a person must have the courage to pursue his own happy life. Nolan, a 60-year-old bank clerk, has worked in the bank for 26 years and has been promoted to a position of department manager. He is married and lives peacefully with his wife. One day, he accidentally collided with the male prostitute Neo on the street. He was depressed. Many years of peaceful life have caused waves, and his homosexual feeling has returned. He has never had emotions for him, and gradually cares for him, helps him, and misses him as never before. Once the affection is opened , The emotional drift can't be taken back, Nolan finally decided to separate from his wife, quit his life in the bank, and started a new life. The film is sincere and touching, the story is plain and realistic, the emphasis is on the details, the psychological activities of the characters are lifelike, and the viewers can quickly understand the role. Robin's acting skills are really first-class, and the small details are wonderful, but it is too old-fashioned. Maybe this This state is also his final state of life, he is tired of life.
