A middle-aged, fat single man with a sparse dark brown outdated hairstyle, wide metal-rimmed glasses, a dull moustache on his lips, and a jacket that will never go out of style. At this moment, he is sitting in a "cage" office, the hot dance girl doll on the monitor swaying with the vibration, his old-fashioned briefcase is on the desk, and everyone around is busy or walking around. Then, he stood up and looked around, then sat down and held the silver revolver in his arms, slowly and laboriously filling in the bullets one by one:
the first bullet for the office clown,
the second for the office clown.
The third bullet to the "stupid bird goes into the woods early", the
fourth bullet to the sycophant , the
fifth bullet to the ungrateful villain, and the
last but not the least.
Sixth...
Kristen Slater, the lead actor in Broken Arrow, and Wind Whisperer. The image this time was a bit unexpected, but it was very successful, not just the image. I believe he must have worked hard to study the pace and body shape before shooting. Heavy steps, arms that seldom swing when walking, shoulders shrunk when hugging a briefcase, and the terrifying explosiveness that goes from silence to anger... Reminiscent of Russell Crowe in " The pace and eyes in A Beautiful Mind, I don't know how to compare, Kristen Slater has more body expressions than eyes in the film, and Roselle Crowe has more eyes than body, but this It is impossible to judge the level of acting skills of the two, perhaps because the colored lenses of Slater's glasses are a little cloudy, or maybe it is because of Slater's brow bone.
I can't accept this ending. Because when Vanessa passed by, he would close his eyes and raise his head to breathe the imaginary smell, and imprint that sunny smile in his mind. This is a man who knows the spring breeze. During his lunch break, he would sit quietly on the side of the road, fantasizing about eating that small sandwich, this is a quiet man.
In the first half of the film, this dramatic "little hero", painstakingly created, is a "hypothetical" loser in the second half. Is it just to use the "montage" technique to extend an unexpected ending? How good it is to maintain complete authenticity, perhaps this is a proposition the director leaves to the viewer when editing.
After calming down and reviewing the film in its entirety, it will naturally be easier to accept, because this is a complete tragic story, but the way of expression is tortuous, so it is inevitable to be preconceived.
When Bob is dying, he will always remember Vanessa's expression, the blurry last look that fades away. I believe that Vanessa will also remember the expression and eyes of Bob when he died. Is there despair? satisfy? Or give up?
Vanessa would know that the man who was by his side every day but never made an impression was called "Bob", but after his death.
Immortal is love.
