I originally watched it as a film to pass the time, but I didn't expect to see it after watching it, and I felt a lot of emotion. It can be determined that this film has entered the scope of "my favorite movie". It's not easy. In 2009, until now, I have encountered two movies that I love. One is "Reaper's Precision" and the other is this film. Tell me why you like this movie so much.
1. The theme is peaceful, it is about love, there are no exciting scenes, it can make people relax and forget about their troubles.
2. Ubiquitous and original humor. To give a small example: Mikal, the heroine, likes to change the ban everywhere. At a gas station, she put up the "No" of the sign that said "No Exit", so it became "Oz Exit", As we all know Oz is the magical country in The Wizard of Oz, this small action suddenly pulled the audience out of the sadness of the suicide policeman, and also reflected the optimism of the heroine. Perhaps the director is also hinting that sometimes you will find that the world is so different when you look at it from a different angle.
3. A touch of sadness. The film explains the reasons for many people's deaths, none of which makes people feel happy, such as drug overdose, fear of war, sleepiness for love, failure in life, and freezing to death due to alcoholism. In fact, it depends on personal feelings. Not everyone likes this type of things. For example, if you won a three million lottery today, you will definitely feel that you are making a fuss when you watch this movie. I am rich, I am happy, why am I? Be sad. But the humanistic concern behind this sadness cannot be denied.
4. Very Kuso spirit. The pizza shop is called "Kamikaze", and the employees also wear white headbands; the "manager" actually uses a parachute to land like an idiot, and even puts a "PIC (people in charge)" sign everywhere, just like the FBI; The cabs driven by the Arabs are covered in rust and tattered, in the standard car bomb shape; Eugene's car has a lamp that cannot be repaired in ten thousand years, and a miniature black hole.
5. Dialogue Classic. There are many classic dialogues in the film, some of which make people laugh to death, and some are full of emotion. For example the following:
"I'm not going to sit in the back." "Why?" "Everyone knows people in the back seat don't have dicks."
"There used to be two trees, one straight and one crooked. The straight one laughed at the crooked one every day. One day, a group of lumberjacks came to the forest, and they said, I cut down the straight ones. Then that The tree bend has been alive to this day, and it is getting stronger and more strange."
6. The actors are excellent. I don't know many of these actors, but they work together so naturally, it's not like acting at all. Especially when Mikal sees Zia at the end of the film, she can see her lower lip trembling with excitement for a few seconds, and it doesn't seem like it can be performed.
7. Bright ending. I admit, I'm very vulgar, but I think why use disappointment to pretend to be elegant if you can give people hope? I'm glad the film didn't pretend to be deep.
