Movie Recommendation: "Sunshine Wash" - The Other Side of Things

Zion 2022-03-23 09:02:24

If the work in 2008 is released today, it will definitely welcome many loyal fans of the protagonist of the movie. Inspirational movies are used to the general idea of ​​rising, falling and rising again, and rubbing it with positive thinking that is in line with the problems of today's era. However, it is a little different. There is no strong shock about the ups and downs of life, and the plain story seems to be insinuated by many people. At first glance, it looks like a complex of "Little Sunshine" + "The Undertaker".
A 20-aperture gun shot at the beginning of the film established the direction of thinking about life and death in the film. Suicide, love murder, birth, old age, sickness and death, mistress, one-armed man, these imperfect things in daily life tell the audience about life. The imperfections in the story, the eloquent slow narrative, and the calm tone make the inner tumbling of the protagonist of the story extremely intense and real.
In the movie, the eldest sister Rose's son Oscar's question made me laugh. He asked Rose's sister Norah in a naive childlike voice: "What is an illegitimate child, and why does Jeremy say I'm an illegitimate child?" Norah told him seriously: "It's no big deal. Yeah, you know, in a few years you'll find it's going to be cool and maybe have a band called Bastards. You can use it to pick up girls and all the people will go crazy for you, I know you are The coolest bastard." When Oscar said "really?" in surprise, I felt that not only the audience in front of the screen laughed, but the crew members who were holding the camera or fiddling on the set should all smile. There are so many single-parent families in the United States. Faced with the dilemma of reality, most people will be like Norah. They don't expect them to become better. They just look at the problem from a different angle, and maybe they can use it to pick up girls.
The film's simple and unpretentious truth is the essence of the popular, and the outstanding performance of the protagonist paints the film with a lot of color. The collision between the two major acting actresses, Amy Adams and Emily Blunt, is indistinguishable and evenly divided. Their acting career also showed a vigorous adolescence. Intellectual beauties are endearing, and thoughtful women will eventually stand on the stage that everyone is looking forward to. People are like this, and so are movies.
