The movie version itself is a disaster. The absence of Mandy Patinkin is the biggest trauma. This old man with a volatile temperament, if he can play CM well, it will be fine. As a result, the other side also left, leaving people empty. Looking back at the two seasons of the TV series, MP's Rube seems to be light-hearted, but actually has a deep inner meaning. Just like MP singing, he has an excellent stage foundation when he speaks lightly, and his taste is really not something that anyone can perform.
So even if Daisy can switch (more on that later), Rube can't. This directly derives the script of the movie version, but compared to the TV version's technique of weaving the main line and branch lines into a ring in each episode, the movie version is like a headless fly, hurriedly throwing out Cameron, and turning around again. gone in order to get back to the starting point. Completely a "because there is no MP, we have to write this" and "Look, maybe Rube can really come back", it's too cheap.
Laura Harris' departure is another trauma of the film, and God knows what a good character Daisy is, especially with the change of mood in season two that makes this character shine. Even though Daisy is frivolous and exaggerated, vain and selfish when she appears, but under Laura's gentle voice, she has an outstanding temperament and is unforgettable. Even if she did stupid things, she was still a shrewd and - most importantly - delicate girl. But the movie version of Daisy goes the stupid way and never returns. I have always regretted that this role has changed people before, but after watching it, I even had the feeling of "fortunately it wasn't Laura to play". Not to mention the second season, many of the bright spots in the first season have been abandoned, no longer a plump and mature character, completely a brainless blondie, not to mention the casting of the movie version makes it not even a vase On, why did the screenwriter write her as stupid as this? It can only be said that the Daisy in the movie version and the original Daisy in the TV series are two people. In the acting part, the character was destroyed and then burned into ashes and thrown into the cesspool, but Mason insisted on waiting for her to come out of the theater, and then gave her a small flower. This detail is very emotional. Mason is a fuck-up, but his feelings for Daisy are unquestionably sincere and stoic, but unfortunately he is facing Daisy's idiot version, which is the bright moon shining on the ditch.
Aside from these two points, the other parts are not too bad, so it still has the flavor of DLM, George et al.'s characters are well grasped, and the dialogue and behavior are normal. As for the plot, it has already been said that this is an extended ep, and the fans are very strong, so if you like your TV series, you should naturally watch it. Don't think that this is the movie version when watching it. You can also pay attention to the change of George (the little girl before) and the living George. The office of Happy Time has completely rearranged these details. After all, it has been a few years since the end of the TV series, and the details cannot be exactly the same—— For example, Ellen's skin is even worse.
George's large narration, with small echoes from the beginning to the end (but the plot is far from complete, and the ghost of the hair salon is one of them), between the lines, indifferently want to give up life, but in the end always find that there are so many not necessarily many The things that are beautiful but enough to help them support themselves remain the same.
The growth of Reggie's sister is as expected when watching the trailer before, which is one of the highlights. The lives of the two sisters are very similar in wonder and tragic, but they are different from losing their lives early and can only live and survive as other people. The older sister whose time in this life is unknown, the younger sister has the opportunity to change herself and her family in this life. Although the scene of sisters recognizing each other is a bit tricky (in other words, if Rube is still there, even if he is not there, George will not recognize his sister), it also slightly loses the meaning of the smile at the end of the second season finale, But in the end, Reggie took that step actively and was blessed by her sister when she left, which was a happy ending.
My favorite in the whole film, I can't help but sigh that the existence of DLM is really far beyond an American drama. It is the scene at the end where George opened his hands in surprise and said slowly, "I am so fucked in the heavy post-it rain. ." with the Boom Boom Ba, which was used several times in the play. This sentence is also said to myself countless times, no matter what tomorrow will be better, in the present moment, this is what dominates the mind.
I AM SO FUCKED. AND HAIL TO MY FUCKED UP LIFE!
