An elderly menopausal gay man is tired of marriage and family. Traveling is the moment he escapes from the family prison, but he is still like a kite. The line is in the hands of his wife. The left is a fax and the right is a phone. Family trivial matters are entangled across the Pacific Ocean. He, so that he can not really take it easy.
Scarlett Johansson, a young lesbian who has just set foot on a marriage thief ship, plays a very good interpretation of a newly graduated social freshman and a novice in marriage. This girl has played many roles. There are coquettish, noble, but no The girl next door in this film is so touching, Xiaojiabiyu, she is pity for heaven. Husband is a workaholic. He is a photographer. He plays with his camera all day and flirts with female stars. But in front of his wife, he gave up the responsibility of being a husband prematurely and let this young girl stay all day. In a high-end hotel room, lonely and boring.
But I still have to admit that the real scene of this movie is Bill Murray's old comrade, his carelessness and loneliness in his gestures perfectly interpret the state of a middle-aged man. He was lightly disgusted by the star chasers in the restaurant and bar (he was a moviestar, he came to Japan to shoot an advertisement in order to earn 2 million), and he was at the mercy of the Japanese director in the commercial shooting room. It was dull, calm, and some were professional. To cope, what is lacking is inner enthusiasm. His biggest surprise in this film was that the Japanese director Chiri Guara was a long time ago, but the translator only translated it into one sentence. He was surprised to ask: "That's it?"
The old and the young met. Compared with this old comrade, Johansson is just a small and beautiful vase. They approached slowly, completely out of the need to get rid of boredom and loneliness, and they went to find their friends to play together. Carnival, karaoke. Give some vent.
In the process of communication, they had some exchanges of life feelings. What was terrible was that they were all insomniacs in the city. All face the plight of their own lives.
In the more and more frequent exchanges with each other, the eyes gradually changed. They even lie down together drinking, eating snacks, and spending long nights in a bed. The old man's lanky body stood upright, and the girl bowed like a happy little shrimp, facing the old man. The old man touched the girl's foot.
When the audience was looking forward to the sex scenes, the young and old comrades, who had a good heart, just damn not acted in the sex scenes.
Old comrades are not disinterested in women. The female lead singer in the karaoke hall, a mature woman, quickly hooked up with the old comrades. This shows that the old comrade does not lack the talent for acting every time (not to mention that he is a famous actor). Rather than saying that the old comrade is clean and self-conscious, it is better to say that he is just not interested in too many things. He also rejected sex with a senior Japanese prostitute (an entertainment tool sent by a Japanese client).
As soon as the old comrade released his physical pressure, he became disgusted with the woman around him. When the showgirl came together in the morning, she dangled in front of him and sang in his bathroom. The innocent girl who was knocked on the door heard all of a sudden, jealous and left. Only then did I realize that the relationship between the old and the young has become not so simple. At least on the little girl's side, she has accepted the old comrades psychologically, but the old comrades did not take the initiative, so there was no sex scene between them.
The little girl hadn't been coquettish enough, and the old comrade was about to leave and was about to return to the United States. The little girl was even more unhappy, and reluctantly said goodbye to her fantasies. On the way to the airport, the old comrade saw the back of the little girl wrapped in the crowd of people on the street. He quickly called to stop and he wanted to go. According to the general routine, this should be a late confession. Then the two were happy. Since "Beautiful Lady in Wind and Moon", countless movies have followed this routine. The old comrade touched the little girl, and the little girl looked back in surprise. Then the two gave a hug. However, the old comrade just whispered to the little girl. I only heard the little girl say a couple of OK, which seemed to agree with what the old comrade said, but I don’t know what the old comrade whispered. Could it be that the time for this business trip is up, let's go to the United States to regain our frontiers, right? It seems unlikely, more like an important gift before parting, life proverbs, and life wisdom.
In this way, as the old comrades returned to the car, as the car drove to the airport, the camera scanned the bustling streets of Tokyo all the way, and the movie ended faintly. Accompanied by good music, leaving the audience full of melancholy.
What is happiness? Everyone is looking for happiness. But too many people are destined to be confused about this. As soon as the little girl entered the social stage, she was confused. After experiencing most of her life, the old comrade was not only confused and unresolved, but also more helpless. The little girl still has a bright future (as the old comrade told her), and the old comrade only has the sunset which is not beautiful.
Why do the old comrades never give vent to the little girls when they have the opportunity? My guess: one is that the little girl in front of him is the same age as his daughter, so he is more of a father complex to her, and on the other hand, since the momentary venting of lust cannot bring long-lasting happiness, why bother to hurt a little comrade Woolen cloth?
Old comrades still have determination. The young comrades who have just jumped into the miserable life of life still have a lot of illusions about life. Obviously there is a huge disparity in age. Obviously, he was just married. Obviously, he was only happy with the old comrade for a few days, but he had the idea of being his mistress. This is an illusion that there can be no results. Our old comrade can see clearly that he also has a sense of morality, or thinks that such a little sweet and costly action is not worth doing, just like a glass of poisoned wine, you can't try it.
Is there just such a difference in life from young to old?
