didn't do much research on Woody's films before, and only knew that this gentleman is a master of black humor. Its reputation is thunderous. Today, after watching "The End of the Game", I still know that his name is well-deserved.
Many classmates said that the style of this movie is no longer like Woody. The reason I must (random guess) is that classmate Woody is not as chatty as before, maybe because he is already old, what should be said and what should be said, It's all said, feel the rest and see for yourself; second, Woody no longer plays humor in movies, life is life, black is enough, humor is unnecessary. So, one to "Match Point", there is only cruelty, cruelty and cruelty left.
The key word of the film is not cruelty, but the opposite of cruelty - luck. The protagonist Chris's luck couldn't have been better. First, he met Tom, a famous celebrity in coach tennis, and then he was naturally attracted by his sister--a British socialite--and then gradually gained the appreciation of the brothers and sisters' parents. , Stepping into the blue sky, from then on, he entered the deep boudoir of a wealthy family, and once he gained the Tao and ascended to the sky, the sparrow turned into a phoenix. Of course, life is not so smooth and smooth, it is Hollywood and Korean soap operas, it is just funny, the reality is often frightening. The mistake lies in the fiancée of his friend and brother-in-law Tom. Kong Shengren said: Only women and villains are difficult to raise; China's thousands of years of history also tell us a truth - beauty is bad for water. Chris fell on the red face. Some friends say that men are motivated by money and sex, but I think most men are not as brave as they are: first, they dare to hook up with their eldest brother's wife; Carrying his wife -- his father-in-law's daughter -- out to be a mistress; thirdly, he dared to use murder to solve this problem when he could not get rid of the mistress's entanglement. No matter what else, just these three points, each of which is enough to make Chris' bright future and beautiful life come to nothing and become a cloud on the other side. However, that's what Chris did, and he was calm and not alarmed. Of course, there is credit for the director's camera language. But this calmness frightened me, and this calmness included Chris's confidence in the luck of life that frightened me, and his self-confidence really became a reality in his life, he really had a fucking Such good luck, which made me even more stunned. It's black enough, there's no humor in black, no justice triumphs over evil, even though Nora and the hapless neighbor woman even turned into ghosts to curse Chris, but Chris's luck didn't let them succeed, and Chris finally got it A beautiful life, Chris repaid him for his devotion to "luck" in the end.
There is very little background music in this film, the dialogue is direct, the narrative is smooth, two words - calm, and the same opera (I guess "La Traviata") running through it always sets the background for the narrative just right. And the viewers are completely bystanders. But it's not lacking in power, which I've only experienced in "The Elephant" and "The Blind Well." None of these films have a clear climax, but the surprising results that appear in front of us are like sudden shocks. Forget about punching. The bureau's camera narration is even more calm, like a story told by a mother before her child goes to bed, but this story will make people have nightmares. The so-called "Looking at a mountain is not a mountain", we see the luck of the protagonist, like the edge of the match point in a ball game, allowing him to win a big victory, but the players are naturally rejoicing, but the spectators are stuck in their throats. People will feel refreshed. However, the real game of life is like this. If you are lucky, you will be lucky if you close your eyes. If you are unlucky, you will drink cold water. The gap between the two is naturally far more than that simple. The difference between the endings is often heaven and hell, although In the final review, it was found that the reason was that the difference was so 0.0001 cm. What's even more frightening is that we found that this has nothing to do with personal morality at all. The ideology and morality of elementary school, and the good retribution in Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Islam are all fucking bullshit. This is life, our real life.
Scarlett Johansson is no longer the little girl who contained a hint of sensuality in "Lost in Translation". Her eyes have become firm and provocative after "Pearl Earrings" and "A Good Woman". This unruly but tragic character is played with strength in this film.
"Match Point" tells us that life is so desperate, if you don't have that damn luck, don't have a good dream and go to sleep as soon as possible. This is the most sincere advice our Woody classmates have given us so far.
