The fit of the first shot and the last one. The beginning is just the same car with circles drawn. I was completely fooled by the Miss Coppola trailer. Or that beautiful loli.
The protagonist threw the car away and ran happily, as if he had thrown everything off. Then, everything came to an abrupt end.
Well, you chose to post at the last second. You didn't go astray.
But wouldn't it be a waste to tell such a story of one's life with a lifeless 98 minutes of video? And the expression of the most crucial and final theme is so vague. To make matters worse, the expression, narrative, temperament and mood of the entire film is no different from Lost in Translation. So much so that it feels like a bad version of Lost in Translation.
If it's a 40 to 60 minute short, he'll be fine.
The mid-life crisis of successful people, the manifestation of the alienation between father and daughter. Hey, the more I talk about it, the more similar it is - the father-daughter relationship is simply a replica of the relationship between Bill and Scarlett in Lost in Tokyo. The loss of middle-aged actors is exactly the same as Bill. It was hopeless to think so, and Coppola repeated himself pointlessly.
Throwing a person into an unfamiliar environment, the confusion of internal causes and the interference of a sudden positive external cause. The film is full of Lost in Translation shadows. She didn't even bother to change it, but used the same script to tell two different emotions. How lazy is this.
But even at this slow pace, you can feel the director's somewhat narcissistic depiction of a certain class in America. Anxiety, distress, boredom, loss of confidence in life, and more. But it won't make you feel like a star is also a human being. Only in the final run of the protagonist gives you a vague idea of what he wants to express. Then, it's over.
In the journey of life, the self-exile after the loss of the goal, the loss of one's own value, the search, and the re-positioning of the road again. This should be what Coppola wants to bring to us. But unfortunately this theme seems too hazy, or is too obvious to be shrouded in the shadow of the previous Lost in Translation. Let the subject lose its charm.
As for where, I hope I'll find out eventually.
I love themes like this, if not for such an underwhelming performance. will be much better.
