Overall, this movie is insane. In the play, PETER said, "The American represented in this room is not the American he died for defending." That's what Frank Darabont took, only this time he stopped. Later, the sensational scenes of the father and son being deeply in love and in full swing, although the performances of a group of old actors were not bad, they unconsciously caused me to have an antibiotic like when watching Korean dramas, and there was always a voice in my head. They are liars, they deceive feelings, deceive tears..." Then, naturally, the shock of watching "Xiao", "Green", and even "The Mist" can't be found.
Also, I found myself really indifferent, and I was amazed at the post-WWII America depicted in the film. The Democratic America at that time suppressed dissidents as much as the party they ostracized. It turned out that all of this originated from the mainstream thought at the time - McCarthyism (McCarthyism: a proper term for widespread allegations and investigations of Communist espionage in the United States in the 1950s. The term began with Senator Joseph R. McCarthy's name .McCarthy is a U.S. Republican Senator from Wisconsin, and his numerous allegations—often with very little evidence—conclude that some government officials and individuals are Communists or affiliated with the Communist Party.) Brainwashing, repression, exclusion of dissidents… It turns out that Americans are also good at this.
In contrast, I prefer several films after Jim Carey's transformation. Although there is no exaggerated body language with rich facial expressions, there is a sincerity of performance. And "The Truman World" and "Warm and Containing Light" happen to be my favorite genres—fantasy, but not sci-fi; movies that originate from life, but are higher than life. But I always feel that there are a few small movements and expressions of Jim in this film that seem to have not suppressed his previous acting habits.
But I have been wondering why the title of the film should be translated as "Life in the Movies". Although the protagonist's professional background, his father's cinema, the heroine's love for movies, etc. are all related to the movie, it seems a bit reluctant to translate it into "Life in the Movies". I think it has something to do with the plot. Before I figured it out, I thought I didn't understand it, so I always believed that there was still a flavor in this film that I couldn't taste. Frank Darabont's name is not a random cover. of.
