unremarkable movie

Adapted from the book of the same name, a third-person character was mixed into the film to help the narrative; probably because the director also felt that the story would only be clear from the perspective of a bystander, otherwise it would be better to start with the protagonist. A movie that relies on a restricted-level store, but it is mediocre - and this movie is really just a conceptual movie, the story is straightforward, and there is no surprising place; although it was sold at the beginning, the set of shots of Snow Mountain is really good. It was inexplicable: Coleman drove to Yellow Springs with Riley's pair of desperate couples; it didn't seem like suicide, even Nicole's ex-husband, even insane, couldn't figure out how the "dog man and woman" died like this. It's too easy. The ending suddenly joins Coleman's friend, a conversation between Nelson and Nicole's ex-husband, the novelist who is the narrator of the story (some people speculate that Nelson deliberately planned this suicide in order to complete his novel, and this dialogue at least I gave a bit of an ambiguous explanation), and people can't really understand the director's intentions after watching it twice. Or do you feel that the narrative is just a waste of film? The audience buys tickets to watch for an hour and a half. The business logic is that they should come up with something to make up the number, but if they reluctantly add some plots, it is disrespectful to the novel itself. After weighing it, the protagonist is still arranged for a scene that seems to be worthless. Meaningful death.
There are also many movies about race discrimination. However, Coleman, the leading actor in the play, is of course the first stalk to hide his race. Since this movie was labeled as racism from the beginning, the characters in it are all Acting overly sensitive to race, even a little abnormal. The white girlfriend went to see the mother of her boyfriend of color, and finally came back and broke up because she found out that the man's mother's skin is actually black, even though the mother's skin in the movie is not so black (it can be considered as tanned whites); originally intended to convey such a meaning: race takes precedence over love. But for the United States now, it doesn't seem to resonate - the key is that their home is not "black" enough.
The theme of year-end love is very attractive in itself, and even with some erotic scenes, it may be enough to earn enough gimmicks during the publicity period. Watching the film, I always thought that Anthony had a good meal, and he didn't think so. Anthony isn't a pretty old man, and he's too much of a teenage Coleman (played by Miller, who later made his name in Prison Break in Prison Break), not a boxer. And the boxer is also an inexplicable stalk, except that after Coleman fell out of love, he nearly killed a black man and said angrily, "Never give a black man a chance."
After watching the movie, I just thought that Mi Shuai was really handsome in his early years. In addition, there is nothing else. Because there is no personal experience of racial discrimination, in China, foreigners are called foreign devils and black ghosts, and they are treated equally.
