The title is blind, the original intention is just a short review on a whim, I didn't expect that too many words were driven to write a film review. Never guessed that the first "movie review" would be written for a movie I watched on a whim.
I didn't expect that I really like it, but the excellence is obvious to all, and it has been praised a lot, so I won't mention it for now.
Although it is also equally dark humor, the same excellent soundtrack, the same absurdity and even the same talkativeness, but the impression it brings to people is completely different from Quentin's films, because compared to the former's unreserved pure "cool", this film There is always some restraint and heaviness called human nature, followed by a natural and almost unexplained sadness, which happens to be a very good interpretation of the theme, "tolerance and peace".
But it seems that it is precisely because it wants to pursue this heaviness at the same time, and the fun of pure black comedy, and both of them demand restraint and seriousness on the one hand, and "cool" on the other hand, and this film fails to grasp the two sides very well. The specific gravity, or too much pursuit of the evenness of the two elements, has resulted in an unclear positioning. I think it is probably an important reason for the fragmentation and rhythm of the look and feel. Of course, I did not expect any director to successfully combine the two. The so-called combination is mainly based on the style of one side, and some elements from the other side are added, so this film can also be called Martin Mack A terrific attempt by director Donner.
In fact, I didn't notice that the director was Martin MacDonald, but after knowing it, I found some evidence of my own point of view. The future masterpiece "Three Billboards" is a serious narrative, a typical example of mixed with black humor elements. . And the film, especially its theme and line style, also hints that the director will be better at this combination than the other way around.
And, I saw a lot of blood in the short commentary before, but after reading it, I think it is actually acceptable (after the baptism of Quentin).
PS From Miracle in the Green Mile to this year's Jojo Rabbit, I have watched some of Sam Rockwell's performances, and I have always thought it was quite good? But I never thought he played so well when I watched this, especially when Marty told him Hans at the end At the moment of being killed, the change in expression from surprise to sadness to relief, flashed by but was extremely delicate, I could see tears in an instant, it was really exquisite.
