All of these points are worthy of recommendation. However, today I will only talk about "Locke".
Let's not talk about movies, but about ourselves. Often, some people have very active thinking when they are on the road. Their thinking is like the soul detaching, flying up and down, and the inspiration is looming and suddenly possessed; some people are extremely active when going to the toilet, filth vents, and inspiration rises. It is said that a lot of music People are accustomed to capturing Venus during the big solution, and then pulling a piece of toilet paper to write down the most important syllables in a beautiful music; some people are in the more noisy place, their personal thinking is more active, some people are stunned. A novel was conceived in the disco; some people waited for everyone to fall asleep and the clock slipped past 12, but they were not tired, refreshed, and could no longer fall asleep, and then they did something they liked to get results. Know well. For me, I probably have both the first and the last. My thoughts tend to be active on the road, so I especially like walking, letting inspiration burst while walking, and writing needs to be done at night , Usually after 10 o’clock, will enter the state, and then desk until about 2 in the morning, sleepy enough to open your eyes, then fall to the ground and sleep, a good night’s sleep until noon. It's just that the reality of work and earning money can't realize the luxury of being naturally awake, but every night I squeeze out time to write and write things. I still try my best to practice this kind of right thing.
I like walking, and I like to think while walking. Sometimes, in transportation, it also has the same effect. Taking a bus to work or taking a train for business trips, looking at the scenery passing by the window, the mind will start to trance in an instant, the soul will begin to emerge, and the thoughts will begin to fly. Inspiration often comes unexpectedly, sometimes a complete story comes up, and sometimes it may be a roughly complete poem. At such times, I would take out my phone and write a few sentences in the memo, or an outline, or a beginning, and then plan to find time to complete them. I am ashamed that there are too many such unfinished stories, and many stories that have been told for a long time have not been written, making myself very embarrassed. But in any case, looking at it from another angle, it would be quite interesting to describe this state of being on the road with those weird ideas that pop out from time to time.
Unexpectedly, "Locke" showed a certain state in a certain way. Moreover, it combines the thinker and the thinking thing into one, and reproduces it very literally through a wonderful story. A person, driving in the car after work, intends to go home. On the road, he is always driving and walking along the road, but most of his life, important things are in the small car, one by one, weird and absurd, accompanied by the sudden light of the street lights. Dimmed.
Locke is an engineer and an urban white-collar worker, responsible for a major road administration project. After work that day, I drove into the car and planned to watch the football game with my two sons after two hours. This is an ordinary night that can no longer be ordinary, and it is also an ordinary office worker that can no longer be ordinary, just like any one of you and me caught in the world. But not long after the car drove out, Locke received a call from a former colleague who had had a one-night stand. It turned out that she was about to give birth, and the child was Locke's. She didn't intend to disturb his life, and she never told him about the child. But tonight, before giving birth, she suddenly wanted to tell Locke that she wanted to see him and let him accompany herself. So Locke changed his schedule and rushed to the hospital to see the woman in a state of loneliness and fear, and the child who fell from the sky. Later, his engineering office also called, saying that the original cement model had not arrived, and the project that had to be advanced was blocked. He called a friend and asked him to help him, but the unreliable guy messed up everything because he was drunk. As a result, Locke was immediately reprimanded by the leader and was directly expelled. At the same time, his son has been waiting for him to watch football together and enjoy the family happiness together. In addition, his wife also found out about Locke's behavior at home and learned of his cheating, so she chose to divorce him. In addition, the elder female colleague who is about to give birth is still in doubt.
Suddenly, while driving the car, work, family, marriage, and love were all in trouble, and the red light came on. This is Locke’s night. He has never stopped. From the moment he drove into the car, to the dawn of the day, everything that should and shouldn’t be encountered was met; what should happen, what shouldn’t happen, It all happened. This kind of life's taste is exaggerated. It seems extreme, but it seems natural. Today’s results are all due to yesterday. What happened yesterday has become a settlement. If it doesn’t happen today, it will happen another day. It will happen anyway. It’s better to concentrate on tonight and happen on the road you are driving.
The story of "Locke" seems unreasonable, but reasonable, a car, a person, driving and walking, the whole scene is over. Much like a movie guinea pig, but also a test of acting skills. Tom Hardy is always sitting in the driver’s seat, driving the car without any other excessive actions. All conflicts are done through the phone, and the lines are used to promote the flow of the entire plot. What the actor does is occasionally sideways. Side face, look out the window, just adjust the direction by hand. The performance of the actor, close to the subtle facial expressions and the soothing of the lines, is a great challenge, but Tom Hardy's performance is very good, and he played this one-man show.
"Rock" looks boring, but it's exciting. You have to know that this kind of movie is difficult to make. Whether it is the script or the selection of the actors, to the scheduling of light and music, and the degree of performance of the actors, they are all done in the shell of the snail. The details need to be enlarged as much as possible, and the trembling is everywhere. clever.
You also need to know that one person, one car, one ride, one night, seems to make up the whole story. In fact, what "Locke" portrays is exactly the way of life of tens of millions of middle-class people, their feelings of weakness and helplessness. It may seem indispensable at work, but it may lose its place at any time; the family seems to be happy, but can not tolerate a trace of gaps; careful extramarital love, like the sword of Damocles, may fall at any time; Friends are unreliable, bosses are unreliable, marriage is unreliable, and love is unreliable. Everything seems to be perfect, but there are hidden dangers everywhere. The close-fitting life, coupled with the unexpected mid-life crisis, colliding with each other, makes the seemingly good life full of traps. Not only Locke, but everyone may encounter it. And this is the biggest contribution of "Locke", it brings people from an extreme scene into the embarrassment of life. Throw away the discordant elements of a harmonious society, throw it to the audience to see and play.
And Locke's embarrassment and difficulty lies in the fact that the trouser chain was not tightened, nothing more. The original seed turned out to be a big tree that smashed one's own life. And if you don’t have today, why didn’t you pull up your pants chain yesterday. This is probably the case for us in society. If we want to end well, we must always take our place and not fall into a cause or condition that may make ourselves into a desperate situation.
Therefore, it is also great to follow Locke and think about life.
In the end, Locke lost his job, marriage, and family. He hadn't finally seen the child from the extramarital affair. The whole night passed, and his life changed drastically. From having a perfect life, there is only one person and one car left. But with another sunrise, Locke still had to go on. He sighed, started the car again, and headed for an unknown tomorrow. Just like every little person, after the morning alarm rang, he woke up stupidly, and then rushed to days full of unknowns one after another.
