On the second day of the short Qingming holiday, I had a cold, snot and tears, dizziness and lack of energy, but I still tried my best to pay homage to the legendary disc shop at the north entrance of Heping Street. About this store, Master Lu once described to me that after entering, he would make every friend feel at home; Lei Lei drew me a map and told me that it was next to a clothing store called "February 1"; Liu Piao Piao had spread the reputation of this disc shop to me long ago... In view of such strong public pressure, I decided to drag the sick body, did not bathe or burn incense, remembering February 1, carrying RMB in my arms, and heading to the north entrance of Heping Street .
The shop is indeed a good shop. The owner of the shop is also an expert in movies. Even the hired laborers are full of Fellini and Tarkovsky, which makes people feel the power of role models and environmental influences. The owner is humble and slightly arrogant to each customer. The more I look at him, the more I feel that every word he says contains a subtext: I have someone above me! If this is not the case, how can this store be able to stand firm in the previous strong winds and waves? These days, some people above are so arrogant. Although the store is good, it is too hot and there are no ventilation facilities. As soon as I enter the store, my sweat glands get excited. The result of my sweat glands excitement is that I feel restless when picking dishes, and secondly, it also invisibly aggravates me. The cold and cold, the snot and tears became more unscrupulous, causing me to walk to any shelf, and the mm who picked the dish immediately flashed aside.
2. After watching the
disc, I immediately started watching the disc when I got home, picking and choosing, without any clue. The consequence of choosing too many is that it is too difficult to choose, and in the end, I force myself to close my eyes and randomly select one from a large number of discs. Eyes open, Brad Pitt comes into view, that's it! ----- "Assassination of the sharpshooter".
"Assassination of the sharpshooter", full name is The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. The film is as long as its name, 2 hours and 32 minutes. The process of watching the film itself can be described as ups and downs, which can be roughly divided into the following three stages.
Stage one, the first two-thirds of the whole film, saw me dying and drowsy. During the video, I did the following intermittently: 1. I went to the supermarket to buy ingredients, snacks, etc.; 2. I made a meal of fried noodles, including the fried sauce. Next, I ate two large plates, washed the dishes, and cleaned up the kitchen. Clean; 3. Make tea and replace Tieguanyin with a new one; add water several times while drinking tea; 4. Go to the toilet twice; 5. Download three movies from Thunder and watch the web page for a while; Know newspapers and magazines; 7. I fell asleep N times... In this way, the film went on for 2 hours. Maybe you will ask, since it is so painful, why do you have to embarrass yourself, how good it is to not watch or change movies at all! No, this is the dedication of a movie fan. Since we put the disc in the disc player, we can't take it out until it's over, and we can't hear the ending song (the assembly number), and even if there is only one breath left, we must stick to it to the end; maybe You will ask again, what force is supporting you all the time? I will pursed my lips and smiled and said to you, this is what a movie fan should do... Although it is cheap, but I also do this from the bottom of my heart.
Stage 2, from the moment Robert Ford shot, the classic was born, the persistence of the previous 2 hours became very meaningful, and I immediately entered a stage of full concentration and excitement, every shot, every scene. It all started to become very meaningful and intriguing. In the remaining half an hour, I didn't even move my buttocks while sitting on the yoga mat, and I ignored the flickering of Liu Piaopiao and others. At this time, I strongly felt the happiness and luck of being a movie fan, bittersweet and sweet, and the movie fans knew that they had never been spoiled by boring films. How can I appreciate the hard-won classics, huh?
Stage 3, turn off the disc player, climb on the Internet, hold your breath, strike while the iron is hot, tap the keyboard, and record your feelings. The fragrance of tea is still there, like the vast ocean and sky after revealing one's thoughts. Go away, don't disturb me, let me have a little more fun...
3. Commentary
Brad Pitt relied on the role of Jesse James in this film to win the best actor in Venice, and finally won the recognition of authoritative awards after many years of filming. However, after watching this film, I feel that the cowardly and gloomy Robert Ford is the protagonist of this film. The members of the James gang represented by him are all in a panic under the shadow of Jesse. After Jesse's death, Ford can only fill the emptiness in his heart by repeating the process of assassinating Jesse and give himself the courage to continue living. It wasn't just Jesse who died, but himself. Ford killed himself, but he wanted to continue to live. In the pain, he must have a premonition that one day, someone will appear and end his life, because he died a long time ago.
From the long narration at the beginning of the film, I knew that this was another work adapted from a novel. The novel (which can deeply feel the film's respect for the original novel) selects Jesse James, a famous thief in American history, as the protagonist, and chooses to walk into Jesse's life and emotions to describe the life of Jesse and those around him. , I have to say it was a brilliant move. Although the whole film is a life of thieves, there are few gunshots. There are only a few shots fired, but the gunshots are shocking. Especially in the scene of Jesse's death, he lightly took the holster belt and put it on the sofa, then found a reason to wipe the picture frame, leisurely moved the chair and stood on it, this is actually a bet he made. . Ford raised the gun, and the picture frame showed the appearance of Ford. After the gunshot, Jesse fell down. Although he died, Ford lost completely. Even if this 20-year-old boy killed Jesse, he would not appreciate Jesse's fourteen years of glory. It is only a matter of time before the cowardly boy will pay the price for his ignorance and impulsiveness.
The production process of this film has gone through many twists and turns, but it is thanks to Ridley Scott and Brad Pitt that they persevered in order to have such a sophisticated production level. From this point of view, perhaps the judges of the Venice Film Festival gave the actor generously in recognition of Pitt's achievements, which is unknown.
4. The
snot and tears are still flowing at the end , which accompanied me all day with "Assassination of the Sharpshooter". Although the body is uncomfortable, but after eating a meal of fried noodles and watching a good movie, it is worth it!
PS. Late last night, I lost sleep, got up to watch the disc, "Pixar Animated Short Films", 13 short films, 54 minutes, shows how a group of young people with ideals, aspirations and more creative ideas are advancing the animation career in this world. Yes, "Single Wheel Bicycle", "One Man Band", "The Old Man Playing Chess" and "The Lifted" are all excellent. Briefly record it as evidence.
