Such a paragraph was transplanted into the header by me, as the beginning of my review of the movie "Beautiful Mistakes". For those who haven't watched "Beautiful Mistakes", I feel that it is also weird. However, if you are like me, in the movie's tangled environment, you collide with "mysterious" fireworks, feel the tragic confusion, sinking and despair of Shakespeare, and are fascinated by the interpretable meaning and mystery in the movie. Nonsense that has nothing to do with the title may light a glimmer of light for you to explore the truth of the movie. In fact, I know that "Hamlet" and "A Beautiful Mistake" are completely different, but unknowingly, they are parallel and opposite at some coincidental meeting points. Such as the levitating ghosts that cannot rest, the misplaced ethics of love and hate, the sigh of madness, cause and effect and death.
Obviously, the father, the sad and chaotic chaos in the world, life and love, the broken family, the "cane" that people can walk and live on, these dramatic symbols have passed through the centuries, and they are still alive in the life movement of the 21st century, and It is still a sad song, and its face has its own traceable source. Those tragedies that show love from time to time, but will eventually sacrifice themselves, are really "the heart is full of twists, but it is difficult to say when it comes to sorrow."
I say Mexican director Alessandro. Gonzalez. Inarido may have visited Shakespeare before filming, stopped by Quevedo's poetry reading, and mulled over the phrase "Death is our inevitable hereditary property, ephemeral, final, painful. One breath, this is a rule, not a punishment, so why should I complain?" He traveled back to modern times. You could also say that what you heard was the singing of a human-headed bird on the grave of Sophocles. Or, I saw the sorcery spirits whirling in Seneca's mind, and smelled the breath of the spirit of grief and resentment from the east. In short, this inexorable tragedy is the product of cultural fusion, and it is also the true face of hardship and deprivation of life.
In addition, you will also agree that I follow the center of the film story as I think it is, and others speculate on what kind of soul Gonzalez has injected into "Beautiful Mistakes". The two kinds of thinking are exactly the same, and both hit the top. The thoughts and words described in the article - this movie is like Ophelia, the behavior and speech of the movie seem to reveal a certain implied meaning all the time, and it may not be able to determine any meaning, but it can complete a bizarre journey of light and shadow. .
Undoubtedly, the story plunged into the reverse current of sadness, madness, madness, death, killing, scattered, walking, starting from the undisguised "dilapidation". Using the social role of the protagonist Uxbal to locate the direction of the story, and classify the speeches, like displaying different pictures in a polygonal mirror, they are combined into a three-dimensional social silhouette. Of course, the set is from the bottom of the society. According to Uxbal's various identities, the story can be roughly divided into four parts, namely, Uxbal as son, brother, husband, and father; Uxbal as a psychic; as a helper for Asian and African illegal immigrants to find jobs and make money from them. Uxbal; and how Uxbal faced death as a cancer patient with only two months to live. Four different responsibilities and moods lead to a series of events, depicting the unpleasant scenery in the shabby alleys of the slums. The Spain that Javier Bardem felt this time will also change the artistic and hot "Midnight Barcelona", and deeply taste the salty coldness and darkness determined by the overflow of Barcelona port.
I want to emphasize that this movie is one of the few sad movies that I have seen that uses unusually real pictures to stimulate the senses. Coupled with the ingenious fusion of details and plot, wonderful pseudo-documentary techniques, almost without any aesthetic and sensational rendering, a terminally ill person and a barbaric settlement that gathers miasma are already on the paper. The blood and urine dripping on the toilet lid has always stimulated the cells of memory, and the filth piled up in the hardware store has not been digested in front of my eyes, not to mention the more than 20 ghosts who have been poisoned in the warehouse, Lily's final appearance. Even more appalling to see, these overly realistic colors are a little bit of the color of "Beautiful Mistakes", a touch of wrong existence on the edge of beauty, a tragedy that is extended due to wrong spelling, and good intentions turn into evil things.
Obviously, the stories about the Chinese illegal immigrant workshops are the most gruesome. Every scene hints at the cruelty and regret behind the overseas "gold rush dream". This has nothing to do with the Chinese themselves, nor the United States or Spain. The gap between the rich and the poor is inevitable, regardless of whether they are black, yellow or white, as long as they struggle to survive as small fish and shrimp, they will inevitably become the primitive accumulation process of capital for sharks big and small. victim. Recalling that at the beginning of the year, someone in a domestic newspaper wrote a comment to boycott "Beautiful Mistakes", thinking that those vulnerable so-called "informed people" who have been hurt can no longer feel the atmosphere in the honeypot. Poor self-esteem takes it seriously, but doesn't ask himself why those compatriots want to die in a foreign land.
As above, the depiction of the environment and events is vivid here, and the small details are not inferior, all of which are reflected in the shaping of the characters. Take Uxbal's young son as an example. The little boy who is seriously insecure wet the bed is the cover to reveal the "problem family". The first scene where the father and son eat together is very profound. Stop kicking the table, and being ordered by Uxbal not to eat and go back to the house to think about it, a series of life shots are full of meaning. Don't say that these children lost at the starting line. For them, a safe and warm living environment is a luxury. Just like the whole tone of this play, it will make people fall into despair that tragedy is also in reincarnation, it is downright sad. In the play, the elder brother insults the younger brother's wife, the son has to rely on his father's cemetery to make a fortune, and the gay romance of a married man is all "tragic" seasonings, and it is also in line with the chaotic living conditions, so it is avoided. Discuss the meaning of ethics and philosophy.
Whether real or imaginary, in Uxbal's final journey, at the end of the day, he failed to become a god who could turn the tide, but an unforgivable sinner. This somewhat exaggerates the feeling of tragedy, but it is pessimism that affirms fatalism. The fate of reincarnation is clearly manifested in Uxbal's identity as a psychic. The amulet handed to his daughter and son is actually a continuation of fate. A pair of sons and daughters with psychic talent will continue in the future that Uxbal can't see. With the "beautiful mistake", the beautiful mistake may be an unknown life, because if the initial beauty is biutiful, the wrong is beautiful, and whether it is beautiful or not may itself be an illusion.
Perhaps the most delusional one is the African woman Igle. She took the money and left, leaving the ultimate suspense of "beautiful mistake". Saying she didn't come back is because even though they had a clear conversation when Uxbal was dying, it can be understood as the last beautiful mistake Uxbal made. Otherwise, the connection between the virtual and the real will be logically unreasonable. Uxbal saw his soul hanging on the ceiling in the children's room, except that the room was dark, and then played him wearing a diamond ring, which indirectly expressed this before and after. The authenticity of the series of shots may be considered that only the illusory ghost and the Igle he imagined do not exist. Of course, it makes sense to say that she is back, and I want the psychic abilities of the mythical Uxbal. That may be the result of Uxbal's sensing of the future. At the end, he foresaw the "lost" Igle and told the viewers in that way.
In short, such a mysterious thing runs through the whole play. This film should be memorable for those creatures with symbolic meanings, owls, foxes, black doves (Uxbal saw the homeless lying on the street corner with his eyes closed from the window), seabirds, ants, black moths, butterflies, fish, etc. Wait, their existence magically enchanted the heart of "Beautiful Mistakes". Shakespeare likened the owl to be the beast of death, and Gonzalez seems to have followed this prophecy. Uxbal with his ponytail is the incarnation of the fox, he will scare owls away, in fact he is not a real fox, so he can not stop the footsteps of death. The giant moths that kept appearing on the ceiling, perhaps a prophecy of the weakening of life, disappeared along with Uxbal's unsheathed soul. And the picture cuts back to the original snow-covered woods, ending the movie with Uxbal's encounter with his father in another world.
There is no need to doubt Gonzalez's directing ability. I think his films can be awarded the "Exemption" card, whether the feature films "Love is a Bitch", "21 Grams", "Babel" or the short films "The September 11 Incident" There are only noisy black and white screens and the BMW commercial film "Powder Keg". His films have all maintained their due standards, while "Beautiful Mistakes", which was defeated in the competition for the best foreign language film in the 83 Oscars, would not have been better. "Better World" is in the way, and its strength can be expected to be certified. Javier Bardem's acting skills are the biggest highlight of this film. This alternative and insistent strong faction obviously has the capital to pick a director, and his maverick adds to his infinite charm.
