I read the original novel when I was a sophomore in high school, and it was my favorite among dozens of modern literature at that time. After all these years, the only thing I can remember now is the name Yossarian, and the content of that ridiculous Catch 22, all the rest. Memory is a shameful betrayal, it is quietly canceling out my previous life experience, but helplessly, I have recently started to re-read the books I have read, let’s start with Yu Hua. Originally, I stubbornly think that this is better than reading it. New books are more worthwhile.
Watching this movie is also one of the fun activities for me to revisit classic books. At the beginning of the chapter, there are planes and cannons. I think this director is awesome! I remember when Jiang Wen said that he was shooting sunny: "At the beginning, I want a plane and tank, and the audience will be stunned as soon as I get up!" It turned out to be here to learn. Director Mike Nichols, do you think the name sounds familiar? Halo, this is the director of The Graduate, I almost forgot my favorite master, remember this bastard! I will scold again. He gave me the feeling that Jiang Lang's talents were exhausted, and I didn't feel the recent "Stealing Heart" Closer. "The Graduate" is almost his debut, ranking in my personal top ten list, he became famous in one fell swoop, and three years later made this "Catch-22".
In general, it is still very beautiful, and the memories that I have been aroused along the way make it more and more intimate. The original work is originally a masterpiece of black humor, so this film is not short of jokes. I also found a lot of things that have been imitated by future generations: the inverted shot in To Qifeng's "The Birth of a Word", Tang Seng in Liu Zhenwei's "Journey to the West", and Jiang Wen just mentioned, all from this movie I have learned a lot~ The jumping of memory space and the dream-like empty composition make this film full of Mike Nichols' personal color.
I don't know much about the actors. The most terrifying thing is that there is Orson Welles! ? ￥#◎#…※! The greatest director in the history of American film, actually played the supporting role of Brig. Gen. Dreedle (General) in this film, Mike Nichols is really a big face! Gen. Dreedle is a lieutenant general in the air force like our bandit chief. If he doesn't come, he will pull everyone out and kill him! At this time, an adjutant came out to persuade: General, you cannot shoot your subordinates casually. The old confused then continued: Oh? I can't?
Another one I know is Martin Sheen. He was 30 years old at the time. He was a tender boy. How old is his son now? The protagonist, Alan Arkin, recently watched him play an old lecherous psychiatrist in Eros.
