Many people are studying the narrative structure, studying the story, how many genres have been moved out, and more than N masters have been invited. I don't know how many film practitioners among them have the "ambition" of becoming a screenwriter or director. Bringing a turkey, you chew and point to the turkey and say, "Well, you see, the direction of this bone is similar to that of a pigeon. The angle of growth of this breast is similar to that of the goose raised by the king next door. ". I don't need to know this, I only care about the taste.
"Benjamin Button" does not need to go into its plot, and there are indeed unreasonable points, such as the design of Benjamin running away from home. There is no need to be obsessed with Benjamin's fantasy life and love story. Someone said, "Although the narrative structure is somewhat like "Forrest Gump". But the content itself lacks the clear central idea of "Forrest Gump". If Forrest Gump is good at running (Run, Forrest! Run!), what is Benjamin good at? …It seems to be just wandering aimlessly. Every turn of the story seems to be lost, happiness is not perfect, frustration is not tragedy enough. But I am still moved. "
What moved? What is presented to you behind the story cannot be more clear: youth, aging and death. It uses a unique perspective to make you see more clearly, so you have to face the aging and death of the characters in the play one after another, and even the background of the story itself is Daisy’s death progression, and the story of daughter Caroline reads It's over, Daisy is dead, and the hurricane is coming. The scene at the end is telling you: time will be like a hurricane swept by, a river washed away, and all traces will be removed. Only memories are a lifetime collection, although your memories are destined to disappear with your departure and be by future generations. Forgetting; so perhaps the greatest sorrow is that when Benjamin returned to the baby, the brain could not carry the memories of a lifetime and returned to blankness. There was only a vague feeling, as if it was a lifetime. Forget the person who has loved, forgot to be loved. Compared to this, it is bliss to be old normally, especially if there is someone who can share common memories with you by your side.
Daisy, a beautiful ballerina. Dance is the art of lines, and she has perfect lines when she is young; when you see such a graceful elf lying on the bed and heading towards death, loose skin, and dim eyes, you know that all good things will pass away, you know You will also face the death of your parents who loved you, and you know that you will soon be gone. At this moment, do you think of the words that the Chelsea captain said when he died, or the words that Benjamin said when he sat on the beach with his dying father, "You can be angry with your surroundings like a mad dog? , You can curse your destiny, but when the last moment comes, you can only let go. "
We are getting older and Benjamin getting younger, but we are all approaching death a little bit. Benjamin’s words for his daughter’s birthday are the gift the film wants to give us, a gift to life: "No matter it’s too late or too early for me, it shouldn’t stop you from becoming what you want. The person you become. There is no time limit for this process. You can start at any time as long as you want. It doesn’t matter if you want to change or keep it as it is. There should be no restrictions on doing things. We can do it well but we can also do it. Damn it, but I hope that eventually you can become the person you want to be. I hope you can sometimes stop in this world that amazes you and experience the feeling you have never felt before; I hope you can see others with different perspectives from yours people, I hope you can have a proud life. If you think life is not the same, I hope you have the courage to start all over again. "
I was riding a motorcycle speeding in Benjamin saw the tree-lined road, are seeing He is sitting on his sailing boat, wearing sunglasses, facing the sun...
