I just watched this hit movie two days ago
I watched it several times during the period
To be honest, it felt normal at first, because the language of the camera lens is very simple, not grabbing people, and there is no obvious stylization.
There is also no gimmick in the narrative structure, it is completely straightforward.
But I still like it after watching it. This narrative method and rhythm always maintain a good fit with the content of the film. This is actually very difficult.
The camera adopts a method of following the protagonist, eliminating all interference from beginning to end, to slowly unfold the delicate inner world of the characters.
Of course, Francis McDormand's performance is so good, which adds a lot to the film.
These middle-aged and elderly modern vagabonds in the rust belt of the United States, the film is not too provocative, simple and sincere to present their sadness, helplessness, pain, but also reflects their pursuit of freedom and independence, as well as their happiness and happiness in their wandering life. The harvest - even if you give them a stable and warm home, they are still more willing to spend their later years on the road - not so much because of helplessness, but more of a self-choice.
