After watching it, I ordered 5 stars, of course, with the results of purely personal viewing, rather than a completely calm and comprehensive evaluation.
But it was really folded by Damon's performance in this film. When I was moved and felt that there would always be some kind of reveal, Bill was wearing sunglasses, his whole face was still, and he just nodded; when the other characters were excited, Bill's nasolabial lines didn't show for two more seconds; in the face of tenderness Miyi's words were tempting, but he couldn't help but said "oh for fook's sake". I feel that his emotional wellspring is nearly exhausted, and his heart is almost blocked by all kinds of rubbish that have accumulated for a long time: the disregard of his family has led to estrangement from his daughter, the death of his wife, alcoholism, drugs, debt, etc. Received news that her daughter was in prison.
Bill is silent and forbear and determined throughout the film, but I'm so sad to see him, he's like a big, thick old tire that you can trust, it won't collapse on it, but it can't do anything else ; Life is cruel, like this phrase repeated in the film, all kinds of blows fall on the old tire like a knife and stick, although it is standing still, but it is already scarred when viewed up close; even if there is some good luck in life , it's just like smearing honey on this old tire, but it has a brief luster, but nothing can be repaired; it looks pitiful and can't help but approach, but hugging for a long time only makes people feel hard And without Simlhua, you can only abandon it in the end.
Unlike the clear confidence and strength of the red neck that is common in many films, Bill's appearance is always calm, but you can see the layer of decadence under his calm exterior and "But I gotta do something" for a long time. The pits left behind; most of the red necks maintain a simple and direct belief, such as American burger is the best food in the universe and the like, but Bill does not, he is also simple and direct, but he actually strips the ordinary red neck in many ways For example, he didn't vote for Puzai, for example, he didn't open his mouth and shut his mouth. How about America? The only thing he insisted on was praying before dinner, asking the Lord to bless his daughter in prison, and he knew and didn't care that Maya was just perfunctory. Neither are closed.
So I say I got shé by his performance, but in a good way.
