7 The title and plot are anti-expectations, and they are also anti-climax narratives, but they are closer to reality. A bit similar to the taste of "NRSA", life is so tedious and even dull, and occasionally there is the unbridled passion at the beginning. If Chazelle is replaced, the music will definitely be replaced by jazz, and the relationship between the two will be more prominent, but there is already "La La Land" before, and there is no need to repeat it. This film is somewhat similar to "The Vortex Club", both have a sweet French girlfriend. When my father appeared on the scene, I kind of expected him to separate the male and female protagonists, such as letting the female protagonist have a new boyfriend, which may be more dramatic, but in the end Ruben just left her calmly. Fortunately, he did. Together. At the end, Sister Li quietly looks into the distance, reminiscent of Sweet Tea's "fireplace staring" at the end of "CMBYN", and it is this point that makes the characters plump. And finally sitting calmly on the bench also echoes the old man in the play who asked him to sit still. Sister Li plays the deaf person and Anthony plays the Alzheimer's patient. Both of them have given good acting skills. Sister Li also deserves an Oscar.
At the beginning, there is a close-up of Sister Li. I think some people will notice it, and some people will not notice the tattoo "Please kill me" on the chest, and then there are the words "suicide" in traditional Chinese on the RV. Maybe it just fits the heavy metal culture, but it also matches the whole film. Some people mentioned that it is similar to "Knight" self-salvation, but the core of the two is opposite. The Knight finally redeemed himself, but Ruben lost everything, only the cochlea mixed with sharp noises.
Life is so boring, there are not too many ups and downs, only dull days. The ending song is nice.
