Beibei's Movie World: http://blog.sina.com.cn/bblovesmovies
In fact, at first, I was like everyone else. When I thought of watching this movie, the first reaction in my mind was "boring". What a peaceful mind in such an impetuous society to be able to sit down and watch such a light-hearted film. But once I saw it, I cried so much that it was "miserable", and my heart was severely impacted, but this impact is good, and a person's mentality is to be taught subtly in the process of understanding different things.
The film was originally titled "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and Gilbert Grape was played by Johnny Depp. It is indeed a test of Nidepp's acting skills to let such a person who likes eccentric disguise characters play a small person who is suppressed by life. Gilbert Grape is not free, he is about to be "eaten" by the people around him, a mother who is so fat that he can hardly walk, a mentally retarded brother, an old house that is always being repaired, a lover relationship without a future . All this caught up with Gilbert Grape, he gave up living for himself, so he also gave up the desire to change his life, just like his lover finally said when he left him: in the future my children will be fine like you, Because you never leave. So, the well-behaved Gilbert Grape finds comfort in irony + rejection of everything around him when he can't change his life: he satisfies his neighbor's humiliation of his mother, he mocks his teenage sister, and he enjoys a married man who treats him young Due to his physical needs, he did not even dare to approach the modern large supermarkets that threatened his convenience store business. When the girl asked him what you wanted, he said: I want my mother to be thin; I want my brother to change his brain; I want my sister to grow up. The girl asked him again, what do you want? He hesitated and said: I want to be a good person. At this time, I cried. This is such a helpless answer, and my heart will be sour. Only then did you realize that he has always been unhappy. What he thought was that if he was really a good person, he would not make a little sarcasm and sarcasm towards the people around him. But the people around him, as well as the viewers, will see his goodness, although this kind of "goodness" has flaws. However, flawed talents are impressive, just like Venus; flawed talents are full of personality, and they are fresh people.
Until everything around him is calling him to change: the arrival of a large supermarket hints that his job is in jeopardy; a friend's business brings a mobile fast food restaurant; a girl who loves to travel enters his world. Whether it is for him, or even for the rest of the town, the impact of the change is gradually affecting his life. Even Gilbert Grape's mother finally dared to climb the second floor, which she hadn't been to for more than ten years, Gilbert Grape understood that the change was not scary at all. He found the courage to step out of his heart, so he set fire to this "distressed house", and took his younger brother to face the new life with the girl who loves to travel.
In the end, I cried even harder, maybe out of joy. The family films of the 1990s are good at starting from the lives of little people. These characters are all the people around them, and the things they have experienced have not risen to the level of international secrets, but they are real and real, and people can't help but feel the same. We cannot forever resist change, forced or voluntary. The only thing you can do in the face of change is to adapt. This is also the reason why human beings have developed to the extent they are today, because we can adapt to change and create change.
ps: Finally have to mention Leonardo. This is the film where Leonardo really made his debut. At that time, because he was too handsome, he almost couldn't play the mentally retarded, but when he played the mentally retarded, you couldn't believe that he was normal. Who believed that he would be Jack in "Titanic" three years later? So Leonardo is a natural actor, understandable, and is best at creating paranoid characters. His acting skills allow us to see the coexistence of appearance and wisdom, and you will admire it from the bottom of your heart.
