Is it a comedy? Is not it?

[To the comrades who have already "watched"]

The reason for choosing it as a collector's DVD is to see the recommendation of "Universal Screen". It is said that this movie may become a hot topic in the 2007 Oscars competition. I don't want to be lively at this year's Oscars. During the period, because I didn't watch this film, I didn't have much talk.

The second important reason is that it is a comedy. But after watching the beginning twice and the end once, I found that... the

beginning of the movie is very important to me, who needs to fill my boring life with comedy. There is no joke for 3 minutes, I will bear it, and 10 minutes is still No joke, I completely turned off the DVD and replaced it with another "60 Seconds of Speed".

But now that I have bought it, let’s watch it. Then I turned it on for the second time, but suddenly realized that it was already three minutes into the movie to laugh. That's when the little beautiful girl's brother refused to speak.

I think I should check again whether "Universal Screen" really said that this is a "comedy"? At least it's not a comedy as I understand it, such as "Friends". It reminds me of another movie I like, "The End of the Wild Flower". It is a story in the journey, all with death. The difference is that the little beauty and her family are pushing carts to hope, although the journey is full of failures and disappointments; But the big beauties drove to despair.

It’s not a comedy, but you can laugh, even when carrying a corpse; it’s not a tragedy, but you can cry, even when a family has a big game. This is a typical technique that can completely separate the viewer from the character's emotions: he cries, you laugh; he laughs, you cry.

In addition, the film may also trigger such thoughts:
1. What is a success? —— Grandpa said before his death: I am proud of your (father) efforts. You have not failed, but you have experienced everything that ordinary people have experienced. ——Success in making money? Or is it successful to become a little sunbeauty girl with hypocrisy?
2. Will following the values ​​of mainstream society (such as those for success) make people happier or more desperate? Are these values ​​a flower in the water or a true lie? God, where are you and why are you always in the "office" when we need it most?
