"Where there is soil, there is growth, and where there is growth, there is grass." The nineteenth-century American writer Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" got its name from this sentence, and this film comes from the An extension of Whitman's "Leaves of Grass". Whitman discussed the formation of the self and the feelings of the self in Leaves of Grass, and this film also uses Whitman's poetry collection as an elucidation point~~~ The ending of the movie is not as tragic as I expected. The ending still retains a certain humanized ending and space for thinking~~ The plot of the movie does not have any ups and downs of action scenes, the story can be attributed to the pure dialogue and action between the two brothers~~ Norton plays the role of one person in this film In the two corners, Bill and Lake, two brothers with completely different personalities and growing environments, were brought to life by Norton's superb performance~~~ The younger brother Bill wanted to escape the troubles of reality, but unexpectedly got involved in his brother's drug trade, and Lake is trying to get a kind of peace of mind in the noisy dangerous situation~~The film then unfolds under the "split" performance of two Nortons~~~The plot of the story is slightly dull and the deep moral of the film is also slightly Obscure ~
At the beginning of the film, a piece of Socrates' point of view taught in class by Norton's younger brother Bill - even if people want to maintain the peace they need to be happy, in most cases it is an extravagant hope~~~ People want Pursuing a sense of tranquility in the soul, but what cannot be resisted is the inner desire of the soul, the extreme depravity caused by the filling of unnecessary desires~~~ In the film, Bill inadvertently broke into the surface of the truth, and waited until he discovered the crime of his brother. At that time, he found that he had also fallen with reality, so he wanted to get back to his original self. At the end of the film, Bill kept emphasizing that he wanted to put everything back in its place~~~ This may also be a reference to Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" Let's take care of the original intention of the film~~~ When all the hustle and bustle at the end returns to silence, it is also the moment when Bill dares to face his inner fears~~~
The film "Leaves of Grass" also involves many philosophical terms and thinking. And Norton's excellent performance alone can give a good score for the film~~~ Norton's guitar playing and his hippie country accent in the film are impressive~~ If you simply want to enjoy Norton's excellent acting, I think "Leaves of Grass" is definitely a masterpiece that can't be missed~~~
