The soundtrack is all from Elvis Presley's work, and Elvis is the main line of the story in the film, so if you are a rock music fan, and Still an Elvis fan, so congratulations! You have more reasons to watch this film. The
film uses a large number of medium and close-up shots, and the flat shooting angle makes people feel very friendly. There are
not many actors, and the performance is a bit stage play; the picture is simple, and the shooting location is even simpler, after all It’s an independent film. It can’t be filmed across borders like Hollywood commercial films. The
director pays attention to details, the plot echoes before and after, and the foreshadowing arrangement is very clever, never wasting footage.
This is the film "Mystery Train" for me. If you ask me to write a movie review, ahem, I think I will start it from the perspective of the connection view of materialist dialectics and the dialectical unity of contingency and necessity; if you want me to give a brief introduction to the plot, I will say It's a story about strangers meeting and familiar ones missing, well, it's that simple; if I were to rate it, I'd say it wasn't a feast on the set, at least as director Jim Jarmusch intended. Unlike some "big directors" in China who strive for grand narratives. I prefer to compare it to a home-cooked dish, such as my favorite scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but the simple subject matter has been cooked by the director with all the colors and flavors.
When I first saw the DVD jacket of this film, I didn't catch a cold, the dull picture made me think that this is probably another film made by the director himself, or just a film made for so-called film professionals" "Art Film", so I was sitting in front of my computer, and while surfing the Internet, I watched the next roommate's computer play one by one, and soon, I watched and watched, and my eyes never left...
Three seemingly loose stories unfold under different aspects of the same time and space, reflecting the brilliance of different cultures. The director pays attention to the experiences of little people and the other side of people's daily life. The storyline is very simple but it can make you deeply fascinated. Unfortunately, I am not skilled enough to show you Jim Jarmusch's profound directing art, so I can only extract the part that I find interesting to share with you:
the tattered hotel There is no TV, but there are hooks for SM on the bed;
in order to make her boyfriend look happy, a lively Japanese girl uses lipstick to paint his lips into sausage-like shapes, which are cuter than the cover; because of the luggage space Not enough, but she was reluctant to throw away the T-shirts she had collected, so she wore five T-shirts at a time;
a lady from Rome went to the bookstore to buy newspapers. She originally only wanted to buy one newspaper. Encouraged by her tongue, she finally bought a bunch of newspapers and magazines;
it was she who was approached by a strange man in a cafe. After listening to his vivid narration of Elvis' ghost stories, she paid $20 for the man Left; convinced she went to bed at night thinking she saw Elvis, so she lay down on the bed with her eyes wide open all night;
for a racist remark, a broken-hearted white man shot and wounded his black buddy the white shopkeeper;
the timid hairdresser inexplicably became the murder accomplice of the white brother-in-law in the middle of the night, and only in the early morning knew that he was not his brother-in-law, and in the chaos, the unlucky man was shot and wounded by the brother-in-law who was not his brother-in-law. up the thigh. ——However, the commercials are not as good as the video, so if you have the patience, you may wish to watch it.
