what is it then? The scene that appears most in the aftertaste is the scene where the two people fight side by side in the rain of bullets at the end of the film. With the background music of Spanish-style dance music, the two people who have been separated, suspicious, and fighting have reached a high degree of soul integration in the flying bullets. It was this tacit understanding of the soul that turned the most difficult and dangerous environment into a passionate dance, so that when the gunfire subsided, the two seemed to be immersed in this passion. This long shot is the climax of the whole film, and it ends so flawlessly that it makes people wonder whether it symbolizes anything.
So I always have a hypothesis. If the main plot of the movie-the killer story of two people is regarded as the inner fantasy of two people, or a symbol of the war in the marriage, then this film is not an ingenious romance film. ? What it interprets is love and self in marriage. This is a difficult question. Only very emotional people will encounter this kind of confusion.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are obviously very good people. They are talented enough, smart enough, and confident enough. The more confident people are, the more they value themselves. At the beginning, they believed that marriage is just a simple combination of two people who like each other, a way of living together, it is not necessary or impossible to exchange self between each other, love is one thing, self is another. So although they live under the same roof, they each have a sink, toilet and wardrobe. Yes, I love you, but when you go out, neither of them will let one go first. When eating, neither of them will give each other a salt shaker first. Even if they work, they won’t bother too much. Click to stop, respect each other like a guest. There is a clear line of defense in each other's hearts. Guard against self. Although there was a romantic beginning, there was a sober marriage that both thought there was a problem.
Neither of them realizes that love tends to erode each other's territory. They believe that love can exist independently of the self, but true love has a characteristic, that is, it transcends the self. Some marriages are always a war between two selves, some marriages are helplessness between one love and the other, and some marriages are a struggle between two selfish loves, and a beautiful marriage, It is a combination of two (actually one) love that transcends the self. Fortunately, the Smiths discovered the love that existed between them during the extremely violent process, and they successfully surpassed themselves and realized the perfect fusion of spirit and flesh. This is the enviable ending and the charm of this film.
Jolie is obviously more mature and charming than "Tomb Raider". Even if she is dressed as a prostitute to complete the task, wearing a black coat, she also shows noble temperament. In contrast, Pitt is just a grumpy The big boy of, although the years have carved marks on his face, he is still cynical, fighting and killing. In a scene at a friend's house gathering, Jolie was forced to hold her friend's child for a while. At that time, she gave a meaningful look at the pitt who was joking on the side. Maybe the baby's innocent smile touched the soft feelings in her heart, but looking at the reckless Pitt, did she ask herself in her heart: Will I have a baby with him?
Women are sensitive, even tough and capable like Jolie. The conflict between the two selves stems from the fact that they both received the same murder mission that was deliberately arranged. Because of the abilities of the two people, they both encountered failures. At this time, maintaining one's dignity overwhelms love. Although there is warmth in his heart, in order to protect his face, he is merciless. Angry emotions can make people lose their minds, and ego bursts can destroy everything. The conflict gradually escalated, from Pitt shooting and jolie crashing; to pitt killing the door, jolie blowing up the elevator; the old warmth was torn again and again, and the two had a pre-war call on their way home. They both talked about the feeling of meeting for the first time, he thought she was "Christmas morning", she thought he was the "most handsome target", and took out the most beautiful things in exchange for the last silence. Perhaps, both of them are cheering for themselves at this time, they cannot shrink back, cannot admit defeat, and would rather sacrifice their love than fight for themselves.
The war at home can be described as thrilling and full of flesh and blood. Everyone wants to put each other to death and then hurry up. The resentment and anger accumulated on weekdays are now vented from the roaring gunshots. The family that was once affectionate has been beaten to pieces. Yes, when there is no scruples, everything can be given up. Yes, bullets have powerful destructive power, but the incomprehension in marriage, those harsh and hurtful words, will its destructive power be inferior to that of bullets?
Fortunately, after the two heroes fully expressed their determination and courage to defend themselves, they discovered that the power of love prevented them from pulling the trigger to end everything. Of course, this is the need of film editing. In real marriages, after the war, there will often be real breakups. Because the war itself destroys the emotions that are usually maintained, and the love between two people faces the most direct test. is true? is fake? The critical moment is clear. Pitt said, i cant do it. Yes, I surrendered. I can't make a move. Let's kill you. ok? i love you. So, everything you pay for fighting for yourself becomes a proof of love. Because no matter how powerful the power is, it can't make me not love you.
Therefore, the next two people's escape journey became the beginning of a new love life. Although hearing each other's concealment of themselves in the past will make them stubbornly stubborn on each other, the sweetness and naturalness are far better than reserved and contrived. The ice is melting, and the two hearts are really approaching. This approach is an extremely rapid fusion, because they have one of the most precious essence of love: the trust that can be entrusted to life. This kind of trust derives tolerance and tacit understanding. Even if Pitt was stabbed by Jolie, he would smile humorously, and Jolie said sorry for the first time sincerely. When the two of them were scarred and lingering in the corner, Pitt talked about the beautiful harbor in his dream in a desperate state of mind. Jolie said affectionately, "At this moment, I just want to be with you." What else would Pitt want to say? , But Jolie stopped him from "shut up". This is a wonderful line. It is the realm of "silent is better than sound" in Chinese culture. You know, I know, heaven and earth know. Don't say anything. With the fusion of souls, the two jumped out, the two swords joined the wall, the husband and wife were in the same heart, and the profit broke the gold. So there appeared the dance-like gunfight scene at the beginning of this article.
What's interesting is that at the beginning and end of this film, two people are receiving psychological counseling. From correcting each other's dissatisfaction at the beginning to tacit understanding at the end, you can't help but smile at the cuteness of this couple.
There are hundreds of millions of families and hundreds of millions of couples in the world. Who hasn't bumped into each other? The conflict between love and self is entangled, in fact, in front of every family. While fighting each other for self, please don't forget the existence of love.
I guess, this may be a bit of the moral of "Smiths".
