Outside the pine forest - without exception

"Beyond the Pine Forest" is a movie where you can only tell what the director is talking about when you see the ending. The overall structure is loose and slow, and the emotional tension seems to be as horizontal and vertical as the composition of this film. , but I guessed the beginning but not the end. Gosling's half-naked six-pack abs at the beginning and the grenade tattoo on his abs effectively captured the attention of many female audiences and many male audiences in the most simple and straightforward way. Then he put on his clothes and walked, followed by the camera, and came to the place where he worked. It turned out that he was a motorcycle stuntman. He came to the town to perform again. The audience was very excited, and the adults shouted wildly, The children looked for him to sign one after another, and everyone worshipped him and called him "Hero Luke", but this was all within his expectations. Luke has always been calm and calm, and he looks like a sinner that doesn't eat human fireworks. The Toothpick Man in Driving. Until the last time the girl Luo who had a one night stand with him showed up, please note that before she showed up, he was a hero, a car god worshipped by everyone in the town.

What happened later was beyond the hero's expectations. His girl Luo was very indifferent to him, so he took the initiative to find her, but unexpectedly found that girl Luo was no longer a girl. A year ago, she was already his son Jason mother. Having a son like this, the hero Luke couldn't hold back any longer, and in the church where his own son was baptized in the arms of another man, Luke cried. There are times when a prodigal son is not a prodigal son, and a hero who cannot pass the test. For the first time, he wanted to stay and be responsible for his women and children after rushing through the pine forest. It's a pity there is no money, what a pity! what to do? Robbing a bank is the best! The hero Luke is not only handsome, but also a skilled man. He relied on the speed of his Need for Speed ​​and his companion Robin to succeed many times, but he was shot and killed in a single-handed battle. He died, a policeman named Avery beat him to death, and Avery replaced Luke as the town's hero. Cooper also replaced Gosling as the main character of the film. The protagonist of the movie has changed, but it doesn't seem to have changed, because Avery and Luke really have too many fits, including Avery who also has an infant son and a brown-haired girl. Like Luke, it's not easy to be a hero. Alfred was originally a good handsome guy in the "Bing Xin Jade Pot". The son's "dirty money" was returned to Miss Luo, and he once hugged Luke's sleeping son with a complicated expression, and he also went to the director with chivalrous courage to report that he and his friends were embezzling the stolen money. Due to the helpless environment, the friends in the police station thought that Alfred was a big traitor to the police station, and was almost solved by his colleagues outside the pine forest. The helpless Alfred had to ask his father for help. In the "big environment", he told his lonely son a way to protect himself as a real traitor, so Alfred also inherited his father's mantle fifteen years later and became an old fritter in the judicial circle.

Then the sons began to continue the story. Luke's son Jason and Alfred's son Aiji met at a school. Luke's son Leng Leng, Alfred's son Youyou, two boys who were heroes of yesterday We, two once-villain cubs, two youthful lives that were doomed to ruin fifteen years ago, they are still in sin, evil, struggling, bleeding, and meeting on a narrow road. The director let the audience watch all this with a cold eye, even when Alfred knelt down to Jason in the pine forest to say sorry, the blood still flowed calmly in the veins, and did not give us a chance to get hot or cool from the beginning to the end, such as the towering pine forest, Eternally towering in silence, as if they had never seen a storm in thousands of years, or if they had turned a blind eye to any change, it was not surprising. At the end, a man in a suit and oiled hair stands behind his father, who has just been elected as a justice, with an embarrassed and confused expression and slaps the crowd, while the other leaves home alone and buys it with the stolen money left by his own father. The first motorcycle in my life ran into the distance. At this time you have to believe in fate, you have to believe in bloodline, can you say that Alfred's son did not follow his father's old path like Alfred, can you say that Jason's grandfather was not like Jason Do you choose to wander as well, and give birth to Luke somewhere that is not your hometown? The most terrifying thing is that you have a hunch that the descendants of Jason and Aijie will meet again, and even if things are already, people are no longer, until N years later, nothing will change, this is the director at the end of the movie. After that, I want the balance of life that the audience believes in. Outside the pine forest, life is like this, and inside the pine forest, those sympathy, pity, redemption and repentance are just a small accident.
