Clothing is the silent expression of a person.
The story is very simple, the parents are separated, the mother raises 3 children by herself, and the 3 children are all childhood geniuses. Presumably because of having experienced parental separation too early, the seemingly gifted adult is actually never healed from the trauma of being an ordinary teenager that manifests itself in adulthood.
Everyone's clothing here is very iconic, and I want to talk about how the clothing sets off the characters.
The talented playwright Margot has been unable to write a new play for 7 years in a row. He spends 6 hours a day in the bathroom watching TV and smoking, giving up himself in decadence. She always wore thick furs and disguised herself under her coat, and no one knew she had been smoking since she was 14, married at 19, and cheated countless times.
Talented tennis player Rikie is out of love after seeing his adopted sister get married, and has since quit professional tennis with the intention of wandering at sea for a year. The combination of suits, tennis T-shirts and sports headbands, this unruly mix and match reflects his spiritual world to a certain extent - falling in love with his adopted sister goes against traditional ethics.
Chas, a genius businessman, is a little nervous because his wife died in an airplane accident. He does safety drills for his children every day, forcing them to become teenage genius mathematicians. He and his two sons wear full red Adidas tracksuits every day so they can escape at any time.
The ex-wife always wears a suit in pastel colors. Suits represent the image of an excellent and capable woman in the workplace, as evidenced by the fact that many outstanding world celebrities have proposed to her. In addition, the rigidity of the suit is also a means for her to maintain a decent image, because she is considered a single mother by the rounding, and raising 3 children alone, she really needs some strong image in the face of the outside world. However, her clothes are always pure and soft colors such as baby blue and lotus root starch. When her accountant proposed to her, she said that she had not touched a man for 18 years, which was her feminine soft side.
The old man's clothes are the most changeable, such as horse-killing bathrobes, hotel elevator operators, hospital gowns, and suits. What is the so-called "old urchin"? That is, if you live to a certain age, you can no longer be bound by social rules and let yourself go. So my grandfather took his two grandchildren to dive, gamble, steal, and drive a go-kart. That part was the most lifelike I watched.
Falling in love with siblings, parents divorced, wife cheating, friends taking drugs, wife dying, why can I watch these stereotypical plots? And after reading it, there is a feeling of warmth and healing?
In the way of narration, the story of the wonderful family is told in comedy, starting from the father's hard pursuit of his ex-wife, and the whole process is a treasure. Emotional presentation is very restrained, getting rid of great joy and great sorrow, and avoiding routines such as dog-blood tearing and grief, even the most arresting suicide clips seem to be eloquent. On the color screen, it is bright and warm, as if appreciating oil painting.
