I don't know much about hippies. Just watch it from the other side of the movie. The freedom of hippies—government restraint. The hippies floating freely in the North Sea and the gorgeous colors and the government officials sitting at risk in the bleak black and white form the biggest contrast in the film. I would like to think that Italy is the one that can compete with China's strong family concept and the United Kingdom is the one that can compete with the strictness and restraint of the Chinese. Talking about the weather when we meet is like the old Chinese people asking if you have eaten. Even now, I think everyone just says hello when they meet. Where are you going? It's almost there. The only newscaster in the movie, who looks like a normal British man, wants to report the weather. Therefore, in such a country, it really is a big test for the government to tolerate a group of pirates playing some unethical and overly liberal songs in the North Sea. Therefore, the opposites of the hippies are those conservative officials who are sitting upright, with neat hairstyles, and a small firecracker at Christmas is enough for a day of excitement. As they say, the government's best way to deal with the restless elements is to make laws and then make them illegal. That way, they can be banished outright.
The "revolutionary radical freedom" of hippies is still a bit too much for me, who is also conservative. The word with an F was finally played out. With Kevin's arrival, sex, drugs, and swearing started to get out of hand. But they are welcome. There are two scenes that impressed me the most. After his companions finally slept with the little man's girlfriend, who had been sent to the boat by his mother, he sat down in extreme depression and sulked. Then two companions came to comfort him with milk and biscuits. He was so angry that he would definitely not be able to eat it. As a result, the two companions couldn't help eating by themselves. Damn it, my girlfriend was sleeping, and you ate the things that comforted me. Are you bullying people like that? I rely on it. If I don't eat it, I won't have anything to eat. Finally, the little man also picked up a quick cookie and ate it. Haha, what's the big deal? Involuntarily, I think of "Communist Wife".
Only then did I understand the true meaning of "revolutionary romanticism". It turns out that our older generation are the real revolutionary romantics. Another scene is, of course, that the American DJ wants to climb higher than Kevin in order to vent his anger on his companions. Whoever chicks out first will lose. Of course, he also has his own emotions: Kevin stole his limelight as soon as he got on the boat. How to go out. As a result, when the American DJ climbed to the end of the climb, he said: "I am not familiar with (I really can't remember the name). Ha ha. But he still insisted on climbing to the top. As a result, the two who refused to admit defeat went the farthest and jumped into the sea again. Although both sides suffered, the problem was resolved peacefully. But maybe that's how hippies solve the problem. There is no need to draw swords to duel, and there are no laws to make it illegal. Just pick whatever you want. Under pressure, there must be resistance. Under prudence, there must be rebellion. "Hippie" is just a way of verifying the possibility of another way of life. Who says everyone has to be the elite of society? Who says you have to listen to classical music to be orthodox? Why can't you live your life your own way? Throwing out the brick of "radical freedom" leads to the "jade" of various freedoms coexisting.
From British to American fashion, Maybe it's because I watched too many American TV shows some time ago, especially the men in "The Big Bang Theory" that teased scientists in California. Except for T-shirts or T-shirts, except for Chinese takeout, it's Thai food. This I rely on. This is also called "life." Suddenly, seeing so many British fans in this movie who have a lingering style when they are bohemian and unrestrained at any time, I can't help but be fascinated. There are also several scenes in the film where American DJs "fight" against British DJs. The results are, of course, not that important because they also have good ways to deal with them. I'm looking forward to "Making Woodstock."
Ang Lee's new film is also a hippie movie. It's just that he weakened the description of the far-reaching music festival and focused on the portrayal of characters and families. This is Ang Lee's specialty, and I think it's also an interpretation of the meaning of hippie. "Hippie" is not just sex and medicine, but also the pursuit of freedom and peace. Richard Curtis has always been my favorite. He strayed from his usual romantic comedy route this time and focused on hippies. Details still win. It's very real; I feel it. Although he looks like an English gentleman, I always feel that he has a hippie vibe in his heart. The leading ladies in his films are always curse words. The most obvious is the woman who works in the Prime Minister's office in "Love Actually." accidentally took F. Ha ha.
