"Hostel 49" is obviously not the kind of American drama that attracts audiences with tight plots, deep points or gorgeous choreography. This 50-minute episode is like an ice cream uncle stretching on the beach and casually attracting customers. Only when you walk into him and uncover the secrets that he won't deliberately hide will you discover the charm of this whole summer. with colorful.
The story is played out by two unrelated protagonists: Dud, played by Kurt Russell's beloved son, Wyatt Russell, who starred in the third season of "Black Mirror", is a metal detector on the beach. Hippies who try their luck on a treasure hunt for a living. Whether it's hearing that he needs to rely on his sister to pay off his debts, seeing him drunk and waking up in a friend's vacant house, or seeing him mindlessly breaking into someone's house and then being beaten out. , presumably what everyone sees most in him is "no hope".
In contrast, Ernie, the protagonist of the other line, is much more glorious. Ernie, played by Brett Jennings in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" by a familiar Hollywood face, is seen as an ordinary, insincere middle-aged black man who has a car, a house, and a job to make ends meet. At work, there are some friends who can simply chat. From the audience's perspective, friends are gradually separated and material life is approaching the brink of bankruptcy.
Two people who should have nothing to do with each other, because Dud found a lynx ring on the beach and changed: Dud found that there was such an Ernie-run fraternity group of adults belonging to the loser hidden behind the city, here There is an endless supply of beer and a human connection that is hard to find in the outside world. The half-hidden Brotherhood was drawing him in without reservation.
Speaking of "fraternity", a term that sounds a little unfamiliar in China, I am afraid that it is difficult for most people to identify with the culture. The fraternity we generally see will always be like "American Pie", "Atlanta" or The unscrupulousness presented in "Animal House" is full of young people's stupidity, absurd without losing the bottom line. In "Hostel 49", the element of the fraternity plays a "funny role" here - when we see these lifeless middle-aged people who can't do anything in real life solemnly participate in the fraternity. In the ceremony, while talking about ideals and love, chicken thieves calculate the wine money. The serious absurdity melts the fun into the reality that is not funny. The people who are unfortunate in nature swallow the pain, and then raise their heads and laugh at each other to smooth the scars. , clumsy comforting characters and pleasing us. You may be wondering how comedy has become less and less funny in recent years, and neither "Atlanta" nor "Barry" can find the kind of traditional NBC-style joke that can be summed up in canned laughter. But for me, this kind of joke that is buried in the bones and needs to be shaken and shaken will be more meaningful.
As everyone has questioned, we can't ignore a big problem with "Hostel 49" is that the story pace is too slow. This 50-minute episode didn't pay too much attention to the arrangement of the story connection, but packed too much information, and casually interspersed these plots into the story. The audience had to be confused and take care of everything from head to toe. Everything behind the character. It is obviously against the viewing habits of contemporary people for such film and television works that pay attention to the amount of information but do not pay attention to the arrangement. If the story can be more compact, and the first 20 minutes of the story can be edited more delicately, I believe that there will not be so many friends who can't help but "abandon one episode". In any case, although the West Coast style painting of Long Beach is not as explosive as the conflict drama of the East Coast, the free and unlimited sunshine coast and the slow-paced relaxed atmosphere have created too many favorable conditions for the innateness of this show.
When Bud joined the Bobcats, he bowed his head and confessed: I lost everything. I almost died in the sea because of surfing, but I saved my life but can't go back to the sea again; when I got home, my father accidentally died by the sea, which not only shamed him but also ruined the whole family, I can only rely on my sisters Relief, I can't make a living now... And when he looked up, he saw a warm look: we are all the same, it's a good feeling to bring back memories! I hope this never-fathomable enthusiasm will accompany all viewers.
