The Oscar judges have their own opinions on the special interest of disabled people. What I want to discuss with you is the performance of the handsome guy in the film and the interest of this film.
I don't know if you have seen this video, but let me tell you the general content first. Gilbert Grape is a small worker in a supermarket in a small town. He has an older sister and a younger brother and a younger sister. My younger brother is almost 18 years old, but only has the IQ of an 8-year-old child. After my father died 17 years ago, my mother gave up her responsibility for herself and turned from a small town beauty into a "sand whale". She was so fat that she hadn't walked out of the room for several years.
Gilbert and his eldest sister take care of their younger brother and mother every day to maintain the family. He has no dreams of his own, and bears all the burdens of life in silence. Live a life of numbness and cookie-cutter.
Later, Gilbert met a girl who was as clear and transparent as summer dew. Under the infection of the girl, she finally found what she had lost.
After a few twists and turns, the Grape family started a new life.
Leonarod's portrayal of his mentally handicapped brother in the film is no less than Jiang Wu's performance in "Bath". The most rare thing about this film is that there is no excessive sensationalism. The elder brother is very restrained in expressing the complicated emotions of his younger brother, and he does not exaggerate his life too much. Leonarod's tepid performance reflects his talent and hard work. In fact, "Titanic" is too simple for him. After that, the young actor disappeared and there was only one superstar. Here's a look at how Hollywood can devour a genius, from a young character actor to a superstar, D''Caprio has a lot to gain and a lot to lose. I don't know if his ideal is to be an actor or a star, if it is the latter, then he will get what he wants. But I personally still prefer the "mentally handicapped era" of heartthrobs.
This film is also one of the few films by Johnny Depp that starred ordinary people. It is rare to see him express the daily life of a small-town youth, with deep and contradictory feelings for his mother, intertwined with love and shame.
Juliette Lewis played the teenage girl, and for the first time I felt her beauty and her charm to be Brad Pitt's ex-girlfriend.
Frankly speaking, this movie is quite boring. After watching it, my mother said: "What is this? It's gone?"
Real life is either more shocking than the dramatic plot, such as "9.11". Or it is very boring, such as our life.
Maybe this movie wants to tell us that we are actually lucky to not have a mentally handicapped younger brother and an overweight mother.
If you want to know how lucky you are, watch this movie.
Judging from the recent films, Xiaoka has returned to the way of character actor again. I wonder if his "Howard Hughes" can create another legend?
