Time and time again, we feel so real how powerless expression is in the face of intense and unspeakable emotions.
So, if "Speechless" is the most advanced mode with mixed feelings, then there is no more suitable mode for Depp fans when they watch "The Rum Diary".
They said firmly: "Depp's new film is not disappointing, it is very, very disappointing."
They can't wait to say: "The bad film is not terrible, the terrible thing is the 127-minute bad film; the 127-minute bad film is also It's not that scary, it's scary that it has your favorite actor in it." The
truth is, what they say, is still true!
Yes, for outsiders like us, The Rum Diary is suffocating.
The climax was finished by the trailer. For the rest, you can watch and cut watermelons, chat on QQ, swipe Weibo, and play sweaters.
In the whole film, the first half is drinking someone else's wine, the middle part is driving someone else's car, and the second half is drinking someone else's girl!
Days like this happened in Puerto Rico in the 1960s. In the newspaper printing plant there, the smell of ink mixed with the smell of jerk and truth. Plus, actually, there are occasional sparkles that light up your chrome eyes!
However, to conclude "The Rum Diary" like this is a bit of a waste of life.
If you are willing to kill time to understand the relationship between Depp and Hunter S. Thompson, you may be able to understand more about the situation behind the dullness of "The Rum Diary".
In fact, instead of seeing "The Rum Diary" as a legend, it is better to think of it as a ritual, it is nothing more than Depp's fulfillment of Hunter S. Thompson.
Just like Depp used $2.5 million to fulfill Hunter S. Thompson's last wish to put his ashes in a cannon. "The Rum Diary" is also a kind of "inhumane" kind of fulfillment.
As the prototype of "The Rum Diary," Hunter S. Thompson, the legendary "Rolling Stone" reporter, had "Bush was so sinful that he could make Nixon appear innocent; Clinton was a pig, but He's our pig." sharpness, and the madness of firing three shots on his own book as an autograph to give to a friend.
He's obsessed with things like alcohol, medicine, muskets, etc. that can easily get out of control.
Depp once recalled the scene when he visited Thompson's house, "Once I was going to use the ashtray before going to bed, but I found that there was a barrel of gunpowder on the bedside cabinet, so much that it could blow us all to the moon. It took so long to find out."
This dangerous runaway runs throughout The Rum Diary. Fortunately, there is only one good thing: honesty, and it's like the last straw for a runaway. When honesty and out of control are combined, the thing called truth is not far away.
Hunter S. Thompson's final straw emerges after high levels of alcohol, hormones, and psychedelics, as Depp faces the swept-up newspaper printing room with the big news in his hands. He said so handsomely: "I smell the asshole, the truth, and the ink."
When he said this, I don't know if Depp's mind was flying with Thompson and the inflatable doll. On the road, or the scene where Thompson's ashes are loaded into the cannon and sent to the sky.
What kind of fulfillment that is, how can we understand it!
Some things are really inappropriate.
I think when Depp was asked what kind of person Thompson was, he would sway and say, "Hunter S. Thompson...you know!"
He forgot, in fact, we don't know as much as he does. .
So, we had no choice but to think he was too boring.
