This "The Majestic" (The Majestic) is the main drama of Jim Carrey. Personally, I feel that this is an overlooked film, so I recommend it here. Before that, I watched his "The Truman World", "Nuan Nuan Containing Light" and "The Man on the Moon" (this film is also his second attempt at the main drama after these two main dramas are hopeless), all belong to Abandoned his usual hilarious style to focus on storytelling drama. Jim Carrey was born to be the king of comedy, so that his excellent acting skills have always been ignored. As everyone knows, in fact, the most difficult thing is to act in comedy. So when he starred in the main drama, you will see that his superb acting skills turned out not to be inferior to his ability to be funny.
The story begins with a Hollywood screenwriter. Peter is a very talented screenwriter. Unfortunately, he was born at an untimely time and encountered the "McCarthy Incident"[1] after World War II in the United States. The "bread for bullets" rally, because the rally was of a communist nature, was designated as the current anti-capitalist (this is a bit like the Cultural Revolution at our time), and lost two most precious things in a day, one is The job he loves, and the other is his beloved girlfriend.
Borrowing alcohol to relieve his worries, he suffered a car accident after being drunk, and the car was washed into the sea by the river... After waking up, he came to a small town called Langsen, and at this time, he lost all memory.
Because he looks exactly like Luke who left home to fight and sacrificed 10 years ago, Luke's elderly father mistakenly thought that his son was not dead. Because the people in this small town have always suffered from the shadow of World War II, many young people in the town go to war with only a pennant left to return home, and Luke's "return" brings everyone encouragement and new hope. War brings people not only physical pain, but also psychological shadows.
In the small town, he restored the movie theater that "Father" had run all his life and then closed because of the war. He fell in love with Luke's girlfriend again. Because of "playing" Luke once, his values have also changed, and he has become brave to face it, no longer timid.
The days in the town are really warm, whether it's the unfamiliar but heavy father's love, the care of the "old" friends in the town, and the slowly happening between Adele and him. Love made Peter find a pure land in this secular world. On the day when the reopened Brilliant Cinema was opened, the residents of the town happily came to the cinema where they had been away for 9 years, and admired the miracle on the white cloth together. At this time, I would think, if only I was as lucky as this kid, and when I was lost, I stumbled into such a small town that was hurt but still simple, to isolate the external disturbance and hypocrisy, and only keep each other warm.
In the end, Peter had to face judgment. On the court, under the watchful eyes of many reporters, he unexpectedly refuted the court's wishes, and the scene was broadcast live on national live television, and all the people in the small town were watching the scene. Although the judge tried to interrupt him repeatedly, he showed heroic fearlessness, holding the medal of the young man who died in battle, saying: Countless Americans have defended and defended the lives of Americans with their blood and lives. With dignity, in order to pursue a free thought and life, the Communists are also free in this country, and should be tolerated and guaranteed. His generous speech pushed the whole film to a climax. All the audience present were moved by his statement, and the judges on the trial platform were also at a loss for words. In the face of strong public opinion, they could not convict him or put him in jail. . He became a hero.
Back in town again. He saw the people in the town greet him there, and he gained respect and love...
"The good guys shall always win", this is a sentence that Luke's father said before his death, and this sentence also points out The subject of the video. Good people always win, so you can't go against your will and do things with modesty. Although sometimes the reality is cruel, you can't breathe, but as long as you are willing to face it and do what you think is right , then, there will always be light. Warm and heartwarming movies always give us courage and strength, even though our personal strength is so small and meager, how precious it is to abandon hypocritical care and simply be yourself.
When you lose your way, do you choose to slow down? give up? Or indulge? When you lose courage, do you choose silence? cry? Or looking for? There is no need for pretense and humble prayers. Just prove that I, still exist.
The film's director, Frank Darabont (Frank Darabont) can be regarded as a comrade in the same ailment as Jim Carrey. Darabont once directed "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Miracle", but he never got the best director Oscar. Although not only Oscar can prove a filmmaker's talent, but for filmmakers, the temptation to take home the golden statue is undoubtedly huge. From the film itself, it can be seen that the ambition of this pair of Oscar frustrations is not small. Human rights have always been proud of the United States, because their citizens enjoy a relatively large degree of freedom, and they are often not shaken by power.
[1] "McCarthy Incident": McCarthyism was a typical representative of the anti-communist and anti-democratic countercurrents in the United States from 1950 to 1954. It maliciously slandered and recklessly persecuted the Communist Party and democratic progressives to those who had different opinions. From the beginning of 1950, McCarthyism began to spread, and in the five years before and after it went bankrupt at the end of 1954, its influence spread to all aspects of American political, diplomatic and social life. McCarthyism, as a proper term, has also become synonymous with political persecution.
