A ray of sunshine

The 7th Black Eye Circle Film Festival has finally opened, and "Bad Years" has become the premiere film. I have to say that it is still very humorous to put this film in the Chinese version of the International Nashville Film Festival (not the Nashville International Film Festival) as the opening film. After all, in the current environment, a sense of humor has become an essential skill for us to live well.

The story of the film itself is not new, and the handling method is also the main theme of Hollywood style, but no new idea does not mean that it is not good-looking, within a paradigm frame, the story can be told well, warm or deep, self-deprecating or introspective, this is a little bit The background color below the story is actually a test of the author's skill. (I prefer to include everyone involved in the film into the category of "author", not just one of the directors, actors, screenwriters, etc.. Just like the old man mentioned in the film who was a double when he was young , Every staff member is worthy of respect, of course, provided that he is dedicated enough to take things seriously.)

The male protagonist Vic's acting skills are great, and the layers of wrinkles and beards are hard to hide the charm of male hormones. Even the girl who plays the chubby girl in reality is estimated to have to surrender to the old man in the end.

The scenery of the southern part of the United States and the country music make people feel relaxed and happy, and it is also a good place to recuperate from heart disease. The two medicine jars, the old man and the little chubby girl, also found their way in this recuperation journey. People will always encounter something in this life, people, love, the world, so, birth, old age, sickness, and death. In the end, the hardest thing is to face yourself, hard. But after watching this film, you have to remember that taking medicine is an aid, and recovery has to rely on self-healing.

When you're old and you have to use the power of Viagra; when you're old and you keep reminiscing about your past glory; when you're old and ashamed of your asshole past; when you're old and your beloved When the dog leaves you, you might as well go out for a walk, see your homeland, meet your old people, go back to your original place, and bask in that ray of sunshine.

People always have to reconcile with themselves, or what else can be done.

The Last Movie Star quotes

  • Vic Edwards: You wanna know I needed to come to knoxville, I needed to say goodbye, Goodbye to the town that made me who Iam, Goodbye to the trees I climbed as a kid, Goodbye to the school that tought me how to break the rules, and the streets I wondered late at night, the hidden places that I left all my secrets, The town where I made so many many mistakes, and now its time for one last goodbye.

  • Sonny: Say, Vic, did you hear that Jerry Renner died yesterday?

    Vic Edwards: Oh, that's too bad.

    Sonny: Yeah, he was a nice guy.

    Vic Edwards: No, he wasn't. He was a putz.
