Magnolia

The three short stories at the beginning of the movie have a dark humorous head, but the more I see it later, the more I see the taste of literature and art. It was only at the end of the toad rain that the movie returned to the track of "coincidence", which seemed to be It was not until the end that the right way was found. But in my opinion, the director just borrowed a "coincidence" guise to tell a big story firmly. This technique is the traditional routine of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. Although there are often some subtle intersections in his stories, no matter what time he does not use "coincidence" to tell the story. What's more, Kundera's variation techniques rarely find intersections of characters, but they can find the same shadow in different stories.

I have neglected this film for a long time in the past because I saw the Chinese translation of the film as "Mulan", and I had to blame myself for not knowing the English word. The artistic accent of "Magnolia" can be seen from its background music. When it came to 3CD-4CD, it even made a bunch of protagonists sing. Phil's blushing face and crying look are another excellent proof of the reason for this film's art. In fact, nursing should not put too much emotion into it. Normally speaking, they are the kind of people who are used to seeing life and death.

In "Magnolia", my favorite is the story of the police brother and the white powder girl, especially the scene when they first met. This paragraph has a good contrast effect with the previous paragraph where the policeman found the body in the closet of others. From this, you can see at a glance the policeman who likes to talk to himself (I also mistaken the section after this brother talks to himself As the voice of God, it seems that the "fake god" is still very decent to pretend) I fell in love with this little girl. Little sister Baifen and the eldest policeman talk in words completely inconsistent with her own mood. There is an insurmountable gap in language and role between the two characters. Even if the elder brother and the younger sister are so close, there is no warm feeling. . The drama of a later date largely explained the theme of the film, at least one of the themes, communication. Just like a genius boy who can finally run to his father and ask him to be nice to himself, but Frank can never talk to his father like this, even sitting in front of his dying father’s bed and cursing two unbearable swear words. A great luxury.

In addition, the scene in which the little lover who likes Earl broke out in the drugstore, the emotions that have been suppressed for too long, the self-condemnation and the eyes of outsiders make this woman overwhelmed, she can't bear this feeling. I also like the scene where Donnie is jealous with a white-haired old man in a bar. Why would I decide to put on braces in order to get the attention of others, why I can never say my feelings and can’t "Talk to Him". Finally, like Tom Cruise's performance in the film, it is very sexy. If you don’t count the gun version of "Mission Impossible 3" I watched with my roommate in the bedroom, I have only watched two Tom Cruise movies, which are not commercial films in the traditional sense. Besides "Magnolia", there is another one. It is the brotherly "Rain Man".

    Why are you so nervous about broken music! No need at all! fuck! I think I'm so excited because of this music, and so many people are tangled together and die forever! Watching this movie really annoys me when I'm upset! ! ! . . I finally finished watching this film two days later. Brother Tom's acting skills are very good, I think he still looks good with long hair. I always thought that the magnolia petals flying in the air on the poster, after watching the film, I saw it was a toad||

    Replay @ phenomena 35mm, you will never get tired of it. I thought it was an endless symphony, a treasure hunt full of poetic adventure, or a beautiful religious interpretation, a precise observation of the subtle fetters between people. Now it looks more like Kotazar's "Hopscotch", with unfathomable meaning and ever-changing forms, and it is often read frequently.
