1. The director seems to want to continue in this film the sense of coexistence of a serious theme and comedy style that he achieved in the old work "American Beauty". I also specially added a pseudo-documentary style to express reflections on the media, reminiscent of the plastic bag in "American Beauty."
2. However, even though his ideals were quite full, he was beaten in the face by himself. The comedy style of this film is almost zero. Although the sense of surrealism is spread throughout the film, the "second reality" pursued by the language and number subjects runs counter to, plus the rhythm behind the script is really abruptly pulling ( It means that the connection between the play and the play is too bad), which makes this film really unable to enter the eyes of my Dharma.
3. In contrast, "The Three Kings of Gold" is much better. I wonder if the semi-documentary style is replaced with an interview clue to balance it and whether it will look better?
4. Speaking of the last time "American Beauty" was also a documentary style, but it was well balanced through group portraits, and it didn't make people feel uncomfortable, and there was a new idea. Here, maybe it's the "prose-style" movies made by Lao Ma that made me immune to it. I really don't think it is necessary.
5. Gyllenhaal's acting skills still make me feel good, his peak period should be in the 00s, and now I feel...
6. By the way, although "Excerpts Revised" is not realistic, but the same use of many techniques used in this film, the look and feel and the fluency of expression produced, I personally think that they are much higher than this film (although "Excerpts" "Revision" is kind of old-fashioned in the 70s), but why is "Excerpt Revision" so low on MTC? Something is wrong~
7. I see Sam in "1917" is much more practical. Sure enough, people change alive.
