I can’t write a short review, so I put it here for a boring record.

It's a good story, and it's also my favorite way of narration.

I have been depressed for most of the time watching the whole film. The bizarre and absurd plot itself is obscured by mediocre, boring, trivial, meaningless daily conversations and life details. yeah? yeah.'s worthless dialogue (what accent is this?), frequent chewing of cheeseburger scenes, and close-ups of dull facial expressions, these appear frequently enough to make the scalp numb. Everyone faces daily life with such an indifferent attitude, and the lens provides a lot of miscellaneous and useless information-probably this is real life, real human, right? Even curious incidents will be submerged in stagnant water.

The presentation of two promiscuous characters is also acceptable. Talking too much or being lifeless is another kind of cliché. The funny-looking man is full of f-words, while being looked down upon by everyone while trying to express himself, secretly imitating the behavior of his teammates, cringingly afraid of all the consequences but pretending to be a bad guy who is not afraid of anything. The teammates are cold-blooded, indifferent, without any principled boundaries, and have no response to everything around them, but seeing the stupid plot in the dog blood drama will suddenly reveal a sluggish and focused look. Well. I can only say that the details are really good.

Let's not talk about the protagonist, the acting is really good. The evil of mediocrity is about the most frightening. But it is necessary to complain about the TV series version of Martin. Did you think Martin was brain-dead when you didn't watch the movie? Why are all the roles acting like such a dead fish? It’s not bad to swap the world with some of the roles you’ve played, okay? ? Now it seems that I want to imitate the movie... I'm sorry, but you can't imitate well...

To sum it up, the Coen brothers are so nice, pulling away all the air around you quietly. If there is still no atmosphere change at the end, maybe four stars or three stars. Too depressing, too dull, poor experience. "Drunk Country Folk Songs" once gave some pleasant little expectations. (Then pinch it off pia!

This movie is very suitable for sitting and watching slowly in the dead of night when a person has a calm mind and a little bit of wanting to die.

But how to say it? Maybe something romantic in my heart is not dead, and sometimes I always look forward to a little light. Finally, when the female police officer suddenly spoke while driving, did you cliche? Are all positive things cliche? Not necessarily. But she suddenly started to really speak and means it, instead of talking about those empty sentences that are meaningless except socially, and showing empty expressions, she hit me directly.

i just dont understand.

So what is it understandable? It's not good, but it feels warming up. Probably all I want is such a hint that everything will be fine. It’s the same feeling at the end of "Manchester by the Sea". Suddenly, the color is brighter. The sky, the sea, the boat, everything will be fine.

At the end, the female police officer and her husband are sitting on the bed and watching TV. They are still in the upward tone that is used throughout the film from beginning to end. There is such a slight difference, she means it. It is still very secular, very boring, small pleasures, how nice it is. .
