The finish line is still far away, and most people fall early

An unexpected ticket, I still watched this JCVD, which happened on Friday night.
The rhythm is very good, the mirroring is also very good, and the arrangement of the shots is definitely a skill. As a self-deprecating and expressing work of an old man with a midlife crisis including a career crisis, it is still very entertaining, at least more interesting than his previous B-level films. Many of the dialogues in the film are very black and interesting. For the monologue part of the rising and detached scenes at the end of the film, I am rather speechless. Really talk about it, especially JCVD's defense that he has many girlfriends, that three drops of sweat, I got you a dead man. But, but. Perhaps it would be more powerful not to argue. A person's way of life and value orientation spontaneously reconciled to the public after he was middle-aged, to the hostile ridiculing eyes that are invisible to the invisible eyes. It's already wonderful, the big waves wash the sand, this can be seen as a struggle covered by the sound of the waves. Watching "Who's Coming to Lunch" tonight, people are still vulnerable sometimes, in a stressful environment, it's all the same. (Finally, this is a film worth watching. An old man in front pulled a trolley case and went into the theater to watch it~~~~~~ I guess he only knows English and not French, so I told him that he only had Chinese subtitles. Sympathy. Hahaha, hurry up and learn Chinese)
Several robbers in the film are really outstanding, it can be said that they cover up JCVD, especially the boss and Arthur, tsk tsk tsk, the former reminds me of "No Country for Old Men", JCVD, are you also asking Yourself, old and lonely? ?
There is a very hypocritical saying: Our childhood is too long, until we suddenly grow old. In fact, since few people are born perfect, the process of pursuing perfection is like the horizontal axis clearance game Mr. Rambo. With the countdown of time, I don't know which chapter to fall in. This is off topic.

JCVD quotes

  • JCVD: This movie is for me. There we are, you and me. Why did you do that? Or why did I do that? You made my dream come true. I asked for it. I promised you something in return and I haven't delivered yet. You win, I lose. Unless... the path you've set for me is full of hurdles where the answer comes before the question. Yeah, I do that. Now I know why. It's the cure, from what I've seen here. It all makes sense. It makes sense to those who understand. So... America, poverty, stealing to eat... stalking producers, actors, 'movie stars', going to clubs hoping to see a star, with my pictures, karate magazines. It's all I had. I didn't speak English. But I did 20 years of karate. 'Cause before I wasn't like that.

    JCVD: This... this is me today. I used to be small and scrawny. And I took up karate. Hence the Dojo, hence respect, thou shall believe people who say, "Oss!" It's Samurai code. It's honor, no lies. So this guy in the US, it's not the same thing. No one says "Oss" to you. Sometimes people in show business say, "We're gonna fuck em". I believed in people, in the Dojo. I was blessed and had a lot of 'wives'. I always believed in love. It's hard for a woman with three kids to say, "Which one do I love more?" A mother... If you have 5, 6, 7, or 10 wives in a lifetime, they've all got something special, but no one cares about that in the so-called media. What about drugs? When you got it all, you travel the world. When you've been in all the hotels, you're the prima donna of the penthouse. And in all hotels the world over, traveling, you want something more. And because of a woman... well, because of love, I tried something and I got hooked. Van-Damme, the beast, the tiger in a cage, the "Bloodsport" man got hooked. I was wasted mentally and physically. To the point that I got out of it. I got out of it. But... it's all there. It's all there. It was really tough. I saw people worse off than me. I went from poor to rich and thought, why aren't we all like me, why all the privileges? I'm just a regular guy. It makes me sick to see people... who don't have what I've got. Knowing that they have qualities, too. Much more than I do! It's not my fault if I was cut out to be a star. I asked for it. I asked for it, really believed in it. When you're 13, you believe in your dream. Well it came true for me. But I still ask myself today what I've done on this Earth. Nothing! I've done nothing! And I might just die in this post office, hoping to start all over here in Belgium, in my country, where my roots are. Start all over with my parents and get my health back, pick up again. So I really hope... nobody's gonna pull a trigger in this post office... It's so stupid to kill people. They're so beautiful! So, today, I pray to God. I truly believe it's not a movie. It's real life. Real life. I've seen so many things. I was born in Belgium, but I'm a citizen of the world. I've travelled a lot. It's hard for me to judge people and it's hard for them... not to judge me. Easier to blame me. Yeah, something like that.
