Actually I want to give this video a 3.5. This is not a movie that audiences will fall in love with at first sight, the plot seems bland and boring, and the beginning and end are so consistent and inexplicable. But it's this inexplicable inexplicability that makes the film so successful.
Photography: The film begins with a fixed long shot, a sports car circling back and forth in the desert, and the surrounding scenery does not change in any way. Until I thought for a while that my computer was stuck, the car stopped a plainly dressed man. In fact, this is the theme of the whole movie. The dull and lonely life of a Hollywood movie star. He has achieved great success in his career, and he loves his career, but the emptiness that cannot be released makes him seem to be living for a body every day. The whole film uses a lot of long shots, but there are often richer shot changes in the interaction with my daughter. The use of long shots is to better bring out the lonely and boring life of the male protagonist. He smokes and drinks aimlessly by himself, which makes him mentally numb, very dazed and humble. But the arrival of his daughter added color to his life, and he began to have a smile on his face. The close-up and close-ups when he was with his daughter showed that the male protagonist's mood has changed, and his life has become rich and interesting. up. The end of the film is also a long shot, echoing the beginning, the male protagonist drives a sports car on the road, stops by the roadside, and strides forward. It's just that this time he walked forward with firm steps and hopeful strides, completely different from the confused man at the beginning of the film.
Sound: The background music of the film is basically rock music with a strong heavy metal flavor. One is to set off a music style that was popular in the United States at that time, and the other is to match the identity of the male protagonist as a Hollywood superstar. What impressed me the most was that when the male protagonist sent his daughter away to the summer camp at the end, because of the sound of the helicopter wing, the daughter could not hear what the male protagonist said to his daughter in the taxi, but our audience could hear it. This ingenious sound design allows us to truly see the change of the male protagonist and her love for her daughter.
