A short review of "Jerry Maguire"

The final conclusion of this story is that if you don't have a hard enough head, you should stop trying to talk about friendship, love, and "we had history" in your life.

Hollywood's usual trick: bring up a well-known and seemingly unthought-pointed topic in reality, then ask a hero to pick it up, and then often have a heroine to follow (or the hero to prove to the heroine to see the relationship anyway. ), and then the hero persisted until the end, a very magical turning point that made the hero's life better from now on.
So when the football player falls down, you can estimate that the film time has come to the end and you can know that it will definitely get up. Then you will see the ending that you already know and the follow-up sequence that the director has cut.
Is not it.
Of course, the routine in 1997 was like this (actually it seems to be 1996). It's not a big deal.

The shaping of Jerry Maguire is divided into two parts, the emotional line and the career line (sounds like fortune-telling, eh).
At the beginning of the career plot, the heroine reasonably inserted the main line to pick out another clue. Tangtang and Rhodes were used as a comparison of the development of Jerry's two clues. The former represented the business-oriented environment and the latter represented simple love and family affection. , and a series of plots after that is to put love and affection in the main line of the former struggle to set off. Later, the protagonist wins.
This is a very simple story, and many, many movies are nothing more than putting love into war conflicts and cultural conflicts.
Familiar with the rhythm and layout of the old storytelling. But in 1997, it wasn't a big deal.

But as a 2-hour melody-to-death film, director Cameron is clearly trying to infuse more into it. The lack of interlacing and complementarity between the main lines makes the clues of the whole film deranged, and the lack of rhythm of the shots makes the film that is not ups and downs appear slow.
So, the lines (helpless) and the character of Jerry himself became the highlight of this film.

Lines, like: You had me at "hello". Like, if this is empty, this doesn't matter. Like, I'm the oldest 26year old in the world.
Like, Maybe love shouldn't be such hard work.
For example, you complete me.
Although I don't believe it more and more.
Etc., etc. This enumeration of not consuming brain cells should stop there.
Also, I don't know why the inner sentence "show me the money" is so popular.

And with Jerry it's a little more complicated.

PS: During
the process of watching, the two people next to me have been yelling and talking a lot of nonsense. Such as this film is to illustrate the current conflict between money and human nature, what women are like and what men are like. Continue feeling good about yourself after being easily refuted.
I also sighed how the Tao family could have such a good house or something. All in all excellent.
Is this called watching movies not allowing others to speak out?

Jerry Maguire quotes

  • Bob Sugar: [Over the phone with different clients] I'm calling you first because you're most important person in sports and I just want to know one thing: how does that make you feel? I will kill for you, I will maim for you, I will rape and pillage for you. I just want to be the first to tell you that I was talking to Doritos about you and they're interested. I just need to know, are you in or are you out? You'll be so happy you stayed with me because I am the fucking terminator. I don't want to say if it was drug-induced or whatever, but the fact is, he completely fucking freaked out. I don't know if you want a guy like that representing you going to the draft. There, I said my piece. How's your mom?

  • Jerry Maguire: [Over the phone with different clients] Right now you're paying twenty five percent to SMI. I would cut my commission by seven percent, I'm going to make this choice easy for you: what does your heart tell you?
