Does no one really like it? I'm going to sing the opposite

I jumped for joy when I found the margot at the wedding disc in the disc store! I've been waiting for this movie since Squid and Whale came out, it was the untitled noah baumbach project on imdb two years ago. After reading it with great anticipation, I didn't feel anything, as if my head had been emptied. Immediately, I pressed the play button again and again, before I regained any sense of judgment. The second time I just started watching, I found the feeling, that infinite love for noah baumbach is back! Comments generally say that the wedding is not as good as squid and whale, and I doubt that no one has watched it more than twice. Anyway, with my average level of IQ, the second time I see it, I catch the details that are full, ubiquitous, and so pure and almost transparent that you can ignore them. The development of the plot, the rhythm and the connection are all the result of careful planning, and the relationships between the characters are so full of unbelievable levels that you can suddenly clearly feel how the director wrote the entire script with thoughtful letter by letter. I can vaguely see the picture of the sun shining on the shoulders of Noah's writing and writing at two or three o'clock in the afternoon in a small cafe in the east village! However, compared to other films that are too scheming and full of craftsmanship, or those films that are impeccable but cannot impress you in any way, margot at the wedding, as always, is light, natural, and makes you unconsciously Deeply immersed, this is undoubtedly noah baumbach as always. It doesn't have the autobiographical intimacy of squid and whale, but the same level of intimacy is present throughout. I believe that every scene, event, and even dialogue in the play was experienced or witnessed by the director. They're mostly ridiculous, but with an indelibly brutal authenticity and that same smell that happens all around you. The biggest difference from kicking and screaming, as well as squid and whale and other noah movies in the past, is that margot at the The wedding allows the audience to truly establish a relationship with the characters in the film, rather than the director himself. Although the narrative language and pictures have inherited the consistent style of noah, this seems to be his first work that completely abandons the autobiographical nature, and it is also the first time that he calmly observes the characters in the play as a bystander, so as to leave room for the audience. their own emotional space. Maybe because of this, you won't have the same strong feelings for this film as before, but I personally think this is a very remarkable improvement for him, and it also makes me have greater expectations for him in the future.



. . . . . . . I don't even know what I'm writing about the above. . . In short, you know that there are some things in this world, movies, books, records, even people, animals or colors, you have no special reason at all, but you are unconsciously attracted to them, creating an unexplainable, sometimes even It is a very irrational strong emotion, so I definitely have noah baumhach on my personal list.

    The lighting and the theme fit well. nk looks good in this kind of light + real many Botox faces are not so obvious.

Margot at the Wedding quotes

  • Malcolm: I wanna punch that guy in the nose.

    Pauline: You've never hit anyone.

    Malcolm: I have too!

    Pauline: Who?

    Malcolm: Lots of people. You don't know them. They're not around cause I punched them.

    Pauline: [bursts out laughing]

  • Margot: You know, Pauline told me she's very disappointed in you.

    Claude: Why?

    Margot: She thinks you laze about the house. Ingrid is always offering to help clean or cook. She made bracelets for all the guests. Even Malcolm puts up the tent. You just wait until everyone else does it for you.

    Claude: That's not true.

    Margot: It is true. I wish I taught you better manners...

    Claude: I can try to make pop-overs. If I remember how...

    Margot: Don't bother.

    [She looks at him with grave disappointment]

    Claude: Why are you looking at me like that?

    Margot: I just see how much you've changed. Your body language. You used to be rounder and more graceful. You're so stiff now, so blasé.

    Claude: What do you mean?

    Margot: I can't explain it.

    [She sees the tears in his eyes]

    Margot: It's okay, though.

    Claude: Uh-huh.

    [He stands up and starts walking away]

    Margot: You're still handsome!
