Personal Brief Commentary on "The Genius"

Very interesting film, very suitable for parents and children to watch together. It is still "the melancholy core wrapped in icing sugar", but the ending is the warmth close to human feelings. Children who are geniuses in the eyes of their father Roy are not happy when they grow up. They are imprisoned in their own stubbornness, empty in their hearts, and vulnerable to the blow of life. When the hardships of life forced the separated family members back to their old houses, a father who made a big mistake in his marriage and family more than 20 years ago only slowly understood his child's heart when he reunited again. Sadly, the father took advantage of everyone's last sympathy for him and consumed the last trust. When he was kicked out of the house, he began to re-examine himself, and he approached his children and grandchildren carefully in his own way. Then the contradictions brought about by the strict eccentricity and selfishness in the family relationship in the first half of life are difficult to resolve. In the film, Eli is a child who yearns for the halo of the Trennbaum family since childhood. He has also lived his life with the goal of being a genius, but his sword is slanted. Own. My favorite is the wedding scene, when Eli will smash into the Trennbaums in a frenzy, and the family realizes the value of life again in this sudden bolt from the blue. The camera moves smoothly, showing everyone's interesting state in the endgame of the accident - they tend to cherish each other, and the picture is full of warm love.

The music in the film is based on emotional folk music, the rhythm is very cheerful, and the lyrics are a bit allegorical. I like this fresh feeling.

Needless to say, film and television aesthetics such as mirror movement, picture composition and color are very personal style of director Wes Anderson, and it is very comfortable to look at.

    86/100, completely reduced to a fan of Wes, the picture photography is really good, the music is also quite tasteful, the story is a bit lengthy, but it is very interesting. The role really floats on the surface. But just relying on this strong stylization, combined with the usual faint sadness of the pink coat, how can I not like it.

    Full of stubbornness, the director's self-satisfied, extremely exclusive taste, exaggerated photography, like a story of chewing wax, the character description is as thin as 0.00000001 mm, there is no emotional resonance at all, the 110-minute commercial is gorgeous as a movie. Trash, two stars for Gene's performance

    Richie: You know, Rachael's buried out there too.

    Royal: Who?
