In the most quintessential hour of the film, I divided the actor's mood changes into four stages: hesitation, pleasure, fatigue, and outlook on life. The four stages of the protagonist in the past few months seem to condense the whole life: hesitating about a strange world at the beginning of life, to the adolescence of money worship, to the exhaustion of the body and mind at the age of forty or fifty, and then to summarize his life in his later years.
"If you are stuck in one place, every day is exactly the same, and nothing can change the situation, what would you do?" This is a sentence from the male protagonist. After waking up, I found that the radio, the fat tenant, the female shopkeeper, the old beggar, the insurance salesperson, the dirty water ditch, etc. were all copied from the previous day, but the people around him were unaware of the groundhog festival reports. Probably no matter who has such an experience will be panic and helpless, right? In his depression, the drinker's unintentional sentence woke him up: "There is no tomorrow, that is, there is no result? There will be no hangover, we can do whatever we want!" This sentence took our depressed man's mood from the hesitating period of confusion. Enter a period of enjoyment where you can do whatever you want.
People always want to be crazy from time to time, but they tend to hesitate when considering the consequences. With such an adventure, the male protagonist can drive a car in the middle of the night and despise the detective, without worrying about high cholesterol and overeating, and can also use the time difference to steal the money truck. Chasing girls can also play some tricks and start over at each failed breakpoint. Here the director used a few scenes to concisely and vividly describe how the heroine wins the heroine’s favor: sweet vermouth with ice and lemon slices; respect for world peace; recite a few words about 19th-century France that he doesn’t understand. Poetry can usher in failures and slaps again and again. At this point, the actor is discouraged, and his mood has entered a period of fatigue from the enjoyment period.
He knew every inch of the town’s land, every second of what happened, and everyone’s conversations, and his life was not new to him. A woman who has tried her best to coax him into bed will see him as a passerby the next day. Life has also lost the goal of struggle. So he slowed down on news reports and tried various suicides. After unsuccessful one by one, he returned to his true self. Undisguised, he finally got the true love of the heroine. The protagonist regained his enthusiasm for life after being proud of his love. During the unrestricted period of time, he continued to accumulate experience to achieve self-improvement, actively learn piano and sculpture, and strive to improve his artistic attainments. And found his own life position: to be kind to others, to bring happiness to others. He put all the banknotes into the hands of the beggar; he insured all the insurance sold by his old classmates; used a jack to help the old lady repair the car; took the old beggar to enjoy food and repeatedly tried to prolong his life; rescued the boy who fell from the tree and the bones of the beholder For the elderly who are stuck in their trachea, charity has also risen from material giving to spiritual assistance. In the small town, he became the celebrity he once aspired to be, and he also understood that the so-called celebrity is not about the publicity in the news and newspapers, but about the contribution to society.
In the film, the actor Bill Murray transforms the stages of mood conversion-the isolation and helplessness of the hesitation period, the jazz indulgence in the hedonic period, the depression and depression of the fatigue period and the self-identification of the value of life. His satisfaction is portrayed incisively and vividly, showing a actor style better than the performance in "Lost in Tokyo". Comparatively speaking, Andy McDowell’s performance is more modest, and it is of the same pure female type as "Four Weddings and a Funeral" the following year, and does not go beyond the traditional route.
