Long farewell

Carter 2021-11-30 08:01:27

I think this is a movie about farewell. Levine said, "If a song is neither new nor outdated, then it is a folk song." That’s right, all the songs in the movie, except for the uncontrollable "Please, Mr. Kennedy" set in the early 1960s, the other songs seem to be intoxicatingly rich, whether they are at the time or today. Poetic sketch. The entire original soundtrack was released long before the movie, and listening alone is definitely a very good folk record. Although the story only happened in three or five days, the various incidents that happened really filled up the entire 100 minutes. No wonder Levine had to say that it felt like a long time ago. This play by the Coen brothers is very unconventional. The screenwriter teacher will definitely jump out and say, how did your character have not changed from beginning to end, how can this work? ! I seem to see the brothers waving their hands and saying, oh is that true? So I deliberately filmed the first and last paragraphs of "Identical" (slightly different in lens and same lines), making the already troubled protagonist even more stagnant in this period of life. Everyone said that this movie is the most "gentle" of the Coen brothers so far, so this relatively sudden violence from the beginning and the end plus the illusion of driving on a snowy night is the director's "signature." Compared to the exquisite lyrics, Levine is really a rough person in life. He stayed at Columbia University in Upper West Side every other day. The couple treated him as an artist. They not only provided sofas, but also had delicious dinners. In the end, Levine not only got angry at the dinner table, but also lost the cats and cats. In Greenwich Village, Jim and Jane, who are both folk singers but apparently mixed up a lot better, are also long-term sofa providers. As a result, Levine fell in love with Jane(?) and got her pregnant and had a secret abortion. Of course, Levine obviously did this more than once. He also had a two-year-old child who had never met before. He drove through the small town, but he only hesitated for half a second. In the end, the family is home. Levine's sister lives in Queens and always takes him in. As a result, Levine feels that "you people outside the entertainment industry are just'existing'." But is he really a bad guy? What choice does he have? Putting it on ordinary people, you and me, when you encounter these bad things, you will always say "Fuck you, I will quit" and then throw off your sleeves and leave. And Levine didn't even have the right to say goodbye to go away, and finally felt really tired. He wanted to give up the folk songs for at least a while and went out to sea to change his lifestyle. As a result, the seafarer's certificate was lost. After a few days, nothing was done about what I wanted to do. It was a long farewell. Levine said the only sentence in the film "I Goodman is so bad. ) The second time, it was Levine's first emotional outburst, at the professor's dinner table. The people at the table insisted that he come to entertain everyone with a song, and Levine, who sang this song, finally couldn’t bear it-his career was not going well, his partner committed suicide, and as a result, other people did not respect their career and took his Sing as a table entertainment show. What's more, when I touched Mike's sensitive nerve (who knows how he chose this song to sing), I can't bear it naturally. And the last time, Levine finally had to return to the Gaslamp Café after a big circle. After the regular tracks (some of them are actually the same as the beginning), the single-player version of this one was added. Levine sings harder and more emotionally than any other song in the film. I don't know if this song is over, he can let go of his feelings for Jane and let go of the haze in Mike's heart. What's more, this song can also be his farewell to folk music—perhaps after that, Levine will reissue the seaman's certificate, go out to sea, and never return to the cafe and Greenwich Village. It is also possible that Levine will continue to write and sing for a while, and after a few years or ten years, he will become an immortal legend. At this point, the movie is completely blank, giving the audience room for self-extension. If it extends from the music industry to the film industry, I believe that dissatisfaction and irony with this industry system is what the Coen brothers really want to say. At the New York Film Festival, the brothers mentioned that they are very lucky to be supported by any subject they can make now. Indeed, they are the banner figures of American independent films. They have won the Palme d’Or, Oscars, and movies with a box office of over 100 million. It can be said that they are the leaders in the industry. Natural resources are readily available, and they don’t have to worry about investing—how much is this. Struggling independent filmmakers can't even think about it. Among them, there are many talented young and aggressive creators, but they are tightly suppressed by the current film industry's rule of celebrity first and money first, and they may eventually give up their favorite career. At the same time, they are full of yearning for the rapidly changing and talented Greenwich Village in the 60s. The clean and misty streets in the film, the simple but cozy apartments, and the poor but kind and innocent people are all what they treated the time. The longing and imagination of that little neighborhood. (Adam Driver said that his house is a garbage cave, but he went in and took a look. It was fine. ) Washington Square is still the Washington Square, and now it is surrounded by Starbucks and McDonald's. The smoky gas lamp cafe may have disappeared in the torrent of decades, but those songs, those people, we can stay with movies . Finally, Bob Dylan’s Farewell, he walked out of the gas lamp that day and became the voice of the times. Needless to say, their music speaks. Oh it's fare thee well my darlin' true I'm leavin' in the first hour of the morn I'm bound off for the bay of Mexico (toward Mexico) Or maybe the coast of Californ (or the coast of California) So it's fare thee well my own true love day,

    I thought that the movie would only cut out some of the arias and then mainly used performances, dialogues and backing to shape the protagonist of "Loser", but I didn't expect that the whole song was basically sung from the first song, so it's no wonder that it was criticized by many people. For a super-long MV that sang fourteen ballads; the Coen brothers' style is as unique as ever, except for the sharp irony of reality in the signature style, but still did not forget to give the audience a solid photographic lighting class.

    Those who like [Girls] or [Francis Ha], probably including [Weekend Time], should like this, hipster-style artistic loser, no big ups and downs, a daily sense of impotence, a little floating in the city People with small hobbies will probably feel the same way
