Even if you think it's special enough that there are only 700 people in the world who have done the same thing as you, there is nothing to be proud of. Everyone should have done many things that only 700 or less people in the world have done.
For example, Yang Gong may be one of the 500 people in the world who have watched "Mary and Marx" and a new novel by Maria Ozawa in a row; the young master may be one of the 400 people in the entire solar system who have watched "Torrent China" and "The Legend of Demon Heroes". One of the people who look at it in a staggered way; Chia may be one of the only 300 people in the galaxy who have listened to a Nightwish album and then listen to the new SHE album; Uncle Pig, there may only be 600 people in the world who exploded in their dreams last night The chrysanthemum of his best friend, he is one of them.
What does it mean four years between the release of Little Miss Sunshine and Serious Men, which means Javier Bardem hadn't started pumping up the air while Oliver danced his jaw-dropping striptease on stage. A hose is killing people in No Country For Old Men, the Coen brothers haven't won the Oscar for best director yet; and when "Serious Men" Lawrence goes to meet the great Jewish teachers, our LITTLE MISS. SUNSHINE has grown taller What a big cut, and started slaughtering zombies in "Zombieland" with "Born to Kill" Woody Harrelson.
However, when I watched these two films together, I also had unexpected gains. In a sense, this gain was huge. To exaggerate, this gain gradually saved me.
What do you think is the best thing to do when you think you are unlucky, jealous, lifeless, and your future is bleak? ok, I know what you want to say, winning the lottery, getting a promotion and making a fortune, etc., in a word, it is something that will directly benefit you and reverse the trend.
Then if you are destined to be the Lone Star of the Scorpio, and you are unlucky, nothing good will come to you, what do you think is the best thing in this situation? Well, I know you're going to say that this sucks and what good is there. Of course there are, "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Serious Men" are such good things, they let you see that there are countless ultimate unlucky people in the world who are more unlucky than you.
You think your pain and sorrow make you live like TNT with a head full of it, and it may explode at any time, but when you see so many people running around with atomic bombs or even the sun turned into a white dwarf, you will gradually realize If you think that your bad things are just mosquito bites, you will be embarrassed to even call them pain.
"Little Miss Sunshine" is a so-called comedy, but it can't make people laugh happily. It's a real coffee table full of tragedy. Steve Carlisle grows a bushy beard, and no longer has the exaggerated look on his face like he has in other movies, so you can tell at a glance that this is a comedy, one of the best studies of Proust in the United States. The expert fell in love with his graduate students. The important thing was that they were all men. Later, this sunny and tough graduate student got together with Carlisle's nemesis, the second-ranked Proust expert in the United States, and Carlisle did it in frustration. A lot of stupid things, his position was also lost, and the title of No. 1 was handed over to his rival in love, so he fell into depression naturally, and Che once tried to commit suicide.
With such a rough background and a bushy beard, I didn't recognize it as Steve Carlisle for a while, and with the melancholy and deep eyes of Xiaoshou, I was in a trance as if I had seen "Love of Inflatable Dolls" and Ryan Gosling in Half Nelson.
Little Miss Sunshine's younger brother who is determined to become a pilot is also a tragedy. He was born in the rebellious period of his youth, and he made a dumb oath. Before he was admitted to the pilot, he would never speak, and he was busy with various I was doing push-ups and sit-ups to exercise my small body. Who would have guessed that I was colorblind by accident. The first time I opened my mouth in more than a year was a continuous roar of "fuck! Fuck!" You can imagine the mood.
There is also Oliver's strong father who was keen to study success but failed miserably, and the grandfather who managed a magnificent life but was lonely and lonely.
There are so many people in the world who are persistently working towards their goals step by step, and they are busy getting up on their own when they fail in the end. People like me who have empty goals but no action and finally reap the rewards can only be regarded as self-inflicted and unable to live. I can't win anyone's sympathy in the slightest, and I'm worse than them at this point.
But fortunately they still have the little beauty of sunshine, who is innocent and kind, and her hugs and comforts have an indescribable power. This pure power can obliterate mosquito bites, unload atomic bombs, and remove white dwarfs.
When their family pushed the old Volkswagen minibus with a broken gear to run on the highway, and jumped on the minibus that finally started one by one in laughter, at that moment, the warm sunshine was also wisely sprinkled down, melting all the Unsatisfactory, I suddenly discovered that the comfortable family minibus is also a golden sunshine color.
"Serious Men" is not so lucky. The Coen brothers' films rarely kill people on a large scale. Serious men are an exception. However, death is an end anyway, and the continuous pain has no end in sight. The above is impeccable, but sometimes fate does not favor perfect people, or does not favor good people. The wife solemnly filed a divorce with him at the dinner table, because she was going to be with his friends, and his surprise was so unnecessary in the eyes of the wife, so at a funny three-party dinner , the wife and a friend suggested that Lawrence should move to a motel because that friend was about to move in.
After the serious man moved to a cheap motel, his son only called him twice. The first time was to ask him to go back to repair the antenna because he couldn't watch a certain TV show he came across. The second time was to tell him His friend, his wife's new boyfriend, died in a car accident.
The funeral expenses were actually paid for by him.
The Coen brothers have always been willing to put all the tricks of fate and despair about life into their works. The serious man finally found that the serious life did not bring him the blessing of God, so he finally decided not to be so old-fashioned, Accepting the money the student had bribed him to pay off his son's huge record debt, the good news of the promotion came in, and the good life seemed to come.
At this point, the phone rang, and his personal doctor told him that it would be best to stop by and see his X-rays in person. Before that, he had been in good health.
When you are serious and just, you may have a bad life, but when you lose your seriousness, you may lose your life. This may be what the Coen brothers wanted to say.
Lawrence didn't have Little Sunshine as her daughter, so she wasn't as lucky as the others before. I only saw the beauty in an instant throughout the movie, when Lawrence climbed to the roof to repair the antenna. He stood on the sloping roof and saw the sun The sky under the bath turned out to be very blue, and on the lawn under the clouds, the pagan neighbor he didn't like very much played in harmony with his son.
Of course, of course, the best part is that the new hot milf is sunbathing naked in her yard.
Having fun in the little things may be a good way to deal with disappointments, such as the gentle sunlight on a certain afternoon. In these afternoons, I can sit by the river and drink tea and tell old friends a lot of funny things from the past or the present. The thing, warmth comes in through thick cotton-padded clothes in winter, at least in that time period, it is comfortable and happy enough.
However, Lawrence will not repair the antenna every day, and the sun will not shine on the earth every day. After all, this is an occasional thing. Faced with most of the helpless time, what can we do.
Steve Carlisle told the shattered brother: At the end of his life, he looked at all the painful times in the past and felt that the painful days were the best days of his life, because those days shaped him, and those happy years, Totally wasted, nothing to learn.
Serious men, on the other hand, quote the Jewish scholar Rush as an introduction at the very beginning: Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.
