first one is Baby Annie, Mianmian, Chen Qizhen and his like. When everyone is happy, they are the only ones who like to hide in the corner and bite their nails. If you go up and say hello, they will ignore it, and gently say to you: loneliness is a carnival for one person, and there is no one in my wound. Will understand, who will hug me and protect me, who will hurt me and give up on me. If you don't understand, they will burst into tears, so haggard.
The second is the state of the movie actor Charlie at the beginning. He is introverted and sensitive, silent but talented. Although he is not good at expressing, he is not lacking in self-confidence. On the contrary, sometimes these people believe in their abilities very much. They are good at observing, thinking calmly, and love watching people, watching theaters, and watching the excitement in the corner. They seem surprisingly quiet, but their hearts are wild and desperate, eager to be discovered by the radiant protagonist one day to become the best sidekick. If the modern popular personality analysis test (Myers-Briggs) is used, then their personality should belong to the INFP, the healer of the soul. Representative figures include: Camus, Princess Diana, Shakespeare, Van Gogh, Andy Warhol, William Blake, John Lennon, etc.
Of these two kinds of wallflowers, the former needs to be cured, while the latter heals others.
The movie is about the wallflower boy who, after entering high school, is determined to get rid of loneliness, blend in with the crowd, and make friends. By chance, he met a pair of siblings. His older brother Patrick is Xu Zhimo's amorous and romantic boy who loves to sing and dance and perform Rocky Horror Pictures. Sister Sam is Lin Huiyin's salon hostess, the first beauty, bright eyes and bright teeth, bright arms, natural and bold but tender and charming, she loves music, all kinds of alternative rock music, loves Smiths, loves Cocteau Twin, loves Dexys Midnight Runners, love to drive and listen to music, love to face the wind and show their breasts, love to dance in the center of the stage, love prosperous artists, love talented poets. These two are the protagonists everywhere, they are sought after everywhere, and everywhere are the smoky salon parties with singing and dancing. The wallflower boy with them happens to be the best supporting actor.
I have not directly experienced the way of living in the story of the director and screenwriter Stephen Chbosky. For people who have no complaints about youth and no sorrow in hindsight, the only thing I can sum up from the movie is: being overwhelmed People who love many people lack more love, just like a woman buying shoes, the more you buy, the more you feel that you don’t have shoes to wear. When the wall flower boy was unloved at first, it was actually good. Later, once he was loved by many people, he collapsed completely and was sent to the hospital. Various childhood hazes emerged. The psychologist Please come in, do you have to design the character like this? In the process, the director deliberately twisted Charlie from the second kind of hanging wall flowers at the beginning to the first kind of wall flowers like Baby Anne. Without a complete story setting and character depiction, it appeared artificial. Very contrived.
In terms of performance, I see how much it is hypocritical, especially the performer Ezra Miller of the older brother Patrick. His performance in "We Need to Talk about Kevin" is very amazing, but here every look in his eyes Du Xiu's eyes are dim, his eyes are dripping, and his lips are raised, bright and charming, which makes people really can't bear it. You don't have to act so obviously and deliberately when you play a base friend, let alone a secret base friend.
The protagonist Logan Lerman has a cute baby face, thick eyebrows with two curved lines, and does not have the natural healing Zen-like temperament of the wall flower, but the feeling of being overthrown. In addition, the younger sister is Emma Watson, who used to be very envious of her, such a beautiful girl, but now she doesn't feel too special. She seems to have always been a precocious child. She grew up in a hurry, quickly drew a line with the little girl in Harry Potter in her childhood, received many advertisements that did not match her age, put her cardamom in her youth, and couldn’t wait to pack herself into one. Sexy woman. I’m surprised how the director can make Sam love Smiths, Ultimate Slow Dance, L7, Nick Drake, but don’t know the famous David Bowie... I
said that there are two kinds of wallflowers, and there are a few others like me. The third type: pure wall flowers, just listen to music and don't mess with Lao Tzu. It can't resonate with movies.
After all, even if I came for the original sound, I remembered the Top5 list in Nick Hornby's High Fidelity. Although Smiths and Bowie are not my Top 5, those who were born in the 1980s shouldn't refuse those classic lavish voices. When Heroes was shown at the end of the movie, a group of 15 or 6-year-old girls were too late to leave, and scattered the remaining popcorn in their hands. I guess they don't even know Bowie, they want Bieber.
Okay, Bowie, let me hit you:
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the
time'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that
Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time,
just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing,
nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes,
just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads
(over our heads)
And we kissed,
as though nothing could fall
(nothing could fall)
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes,
just for one day
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying,
then you better not stay
But we could be safer ,
just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh,
just for one day
