Comments Magnolia / Magnolia's
on Wednesday night, I was watching three hours of "Magnolia." A movie full of metaphors. For someone like me with an IQ of only 110, it is really difficult to understand all the beauty of it, and I can only respectfully give five stars while looking up at its height.
I haven't seen the films of the two masters Eisenstein and Pudovkin. I have only seen an Andalusian dog, North by Northwest, Three Kings, The Seven Deadly Sins, The Sun Also Rises... Needless to say, the Matrix series , this is a philosophical film that can be studied carefully in a lifetime.
Regarding the intellectual challenge program in the film, I think of Ken Jennings from the United States. This guy is really good. He played 74 consecutive games and won countless prizes. It is truly amazing that a person's knowledge can be so rich and his IQ is so high.
Except for the classic frog rain, the collocation of the narrative structure, the meaning of the lines, and the language of the camera are not too popular, but I like the soundtrack of the film, especially the "Zarathustra" when Tom Cruise appeared. The symphony of "Thus Said" is never tire of listening to it. The interludes in the middle are also very catchy. Several leading actors in "WISE UP" also sang a few lines respectively. Although it looks a little awkward, the song is really good.
Leaving aside a lot of metaphors in the film, the 3-hour viewing process was not boring at all, but felt a special pain and helplessness in life. When the boring life continues, do you choose to give vent to destruction, or wait for God's amazing grace? Or only in the song to soothe our suffering hearts?
WISE UP – (Lyrics by Aimee Mann)
It's not
What you thought
When you first began it
You got
What you want
Now you can hardly stand it though
By now you know
It's not going to stop
'til you wise up
you're sure
There's a cure
And you have finally found it
You think
One drink
Will shrink you 'til you're underground
And living down
But it's not going to stop
'til you wise up
prepare a list of what you need
before you sign away the deed
'cause it's not going to stop
'til you wise up
no, it's not going to stop
'til you wise up
no, it's not going to stop
so just… give up
