"Wonderful Thinking"

This is a 1985 movie. It is about the broken air conditioner at the house of Sam Lowe, a staff member of the Archives Bureau. When he has no hope of asking for help, Dato, an electrical repairman, arrives. And the criminal caught by the police is only one word away from him. In order to investigate this wrong package, Sam hurried back and forth, and by the way, he also performed a scene of a hero saving beauty. In the end, he was sent to brainwashing. Continue to do his heroic dream of two wings and full body armor.

The choreographer imagined a future grotesque world out of thin air. All buildings, streets, vehicles, interiors are fashion-forward and ugly. People's daily lives are spent distributing and filling out endless forms. In that world, there are also explosions everywhere, people have become accustomed to it and are not surprised. It seems that after the terrorist attacks and the daily shootings, these are also part of life. So, there was a banquet with singing and dancing, and the gunshots exploded like thunder. People were still eating, talking and laughing in peace, and the old ladies were also doing beauty treatments in extreme comfort, enjoying the most extreme in the world. The widest liberty, until the death of liberty after disfigurement.

I originally came to watch this movie because of De Niro. But in the film, De Niro is just a minor supporting role, playing the electrical repairman. It took only ten minutes to appear on the stage, and there was nothing outstanding about the performance. It's just that when he left, he performed some trapeze kung fu, which can be called the prequel of Spider-Man. It is estimated that he is acting as a friendship, rushing to the scene for his friends, and earning some money by the way. So, I think the movie is boring.

The storyline is absurd and exaggerated. Here I am not criticizing this type of film. After all, there was "Waiting for Godot" before and "Rhino in Love" after that, and gradually formed a genre. It is a good thing that the flowers are in full bloom in the literary garden, but the audience is also various, with different preferences and different tastes, and the natural look and feel are also different. For my part, I've never liked watching such films, and the convoluted metaphors are overwhelming. In addition, the film also added a lot of ideological elements, it is estimated that the director of "1984" has seen too much. We, a small commoner, have no time to judge the pros and cons of the social system. Not interested to meditate. Watching movies is originally entertainment, in order to appreciate the beauty shown in the movies and gain spiritual pleasure. But in this movie, the whole mood is heavy, the tone is dim, and the plot is depressing. If you can't see happiness or beauty, you can't give birth to the pride of changing the world. With this skill, I might as well have a bowl of stewed mustard with preserved egg.

I have always been superficial, my head is dull and I don't pretend to be smart. Without the depth of Picknick’s coming to the riverside, the lack of academic spirit to explore the material of the body bag of Jesus, and the lack of laziness to search for the inside story of Hollywood, nor to think about the motives and shooting methods of the directors and directors, after watching a movie, I walked out happily. In the cinema, chat with friends about feelings, write a review in Chinese when you have time, and chat with masturbation is enough.

My rating: 3.0.
