I don't know what drew me to review this film over and over again, the beautiful blonde Depp at age 30, or Leonardo's teenage genius, or Peggy's touring car, or her clean freedom. Is it the simple and random notes in the film or the ever-changing golden-red sky when the sun goes down?
Both are.
I don't think the film's theme is to emphasize Gilbert's meticulous and touching affection for his family, even though that's an important part of the film. What the film really wants to express is bondage and freedom, persistence and change. Gilbert needed to find a way to revive his neglected life because of his family. Singh said each generation must find its own way to restore the original sense of wonder in life. If Singer is right, Gilbert was blind to his self-worth because he was too caught up in a lifeless life before he met Peggy. For example, when I saw him messing with a married woman, I beat my chest and said that this child is ruined. Yes, but can you blame him? can not. Andora is a small town that won't change easily, and Gilbert is a young man who is too willing to accept fate, he will accept whatever you give him, because rejection is too troublesome and unnecessary for him, "Anyway. You can't escape the big old house your father built, and you can't get away from the big mother inside the house, and it won't make a difference no matter how you go about it." That's what Gilbert thought.
If it weren't for Peggy, who loves travel, change, and girls, Gilbert might just be living in the dull little town of Andora. The girl who likes to watch the sunset said, "Travel is my life," and that surprised him. What surprised him even more was that Peggy's mind was not stained with dust. Maybe it was because she did not make a long-term trip anywhere that she was far away from the world's right and wrong. When everyone couldn't convince the dirty Alex to take a bath, she sang in the water and led Alex to overcome his fear of water and jumped into the water happily, then she was like someone who was sent to save Gilbert Angel of life. When Gilbert was surprised the girl on the side, the desire to change and the pursuit of freedom of ideas on putting down roots, and the last movie that fire ended his static life, he realized, "Well, we can go anywhere ."
Movie in Gilbert and My brother had a happy ending when he jumped into Peggy's station wagon, leaving us off-screen with a smile.
What a lovely and comfortable film, the music is also beautifully matched, the notes are full of clean sky, vast grass and rolling roads, such a picture should be called freedom.
