Beibei's Movie Worldhttp

//blog.sina.com.cn/u/1167336560This film has a strong Mexican flavor, such a film always makes people feel very "hot", the temperature of the sun is like fire, hot The bare chests and backs can be seen everywhere, and the sea and sweat, alcohol and paralysis are inseparable. Since the title of this film is Rum Diary, these alcoholics are naturally indispensable in the film. They are either drinking or on the way to drink. They use alcohol to power their closed brains and support their motivation and beliefs to live in this world. They look at all the bad things around them and let the effects of alcohol make them dreamy and beautiful. It's a bit difficult to keep your head in such a decadent environment and not be complicit.
That's what Johnny Depp is, he's interspersed between two classes of life. He saw how fellow villagers who enjoyed material happiness used greed to accumulate gold coins on other people's land, and he saw how poor and backward local people lived on their own land. He has always been very contradictory. Everyone will be tempted by material things. He is also an American. He can also turn a blind eye to grab the land of the locals and enjoy the champagne beauty. He has such an opportunity in front of him. Why do you have to accept poverty and watch your neighbor's TV with binoculars? However, as a conscientious reporter, on the one hand, he is very sympathetic to the suffering of the local people. The land that belonged to them has been seized by greedy Americans, and he is not even qualified to see the sea. In the end, he chose his conscience, he wanted to resist, he resisted with a pen, and he heard the voice of ink. But his personal power was rather meager, and in the end he had to give up leaving the land he wanted to claim his rights to and return to his hometown. I hope he can become a more just, fair and credible journalist with conscience after returning to the United States.
The fly in the ointment is that the meaning of rum in the film is not deeply portrayed, making it seem that Johnny Depp's transformation is a bit abrupt. At first, he shamelessly enjoyed beauties and cars. But after drinking some wine, I had some hallucinations and "smelled the ink" overnight. It seemed that the ending was rushed. Since so many brushes and inks are used to render the atmosphere, there is enough time and energy to describe the ending, but it seems that the director is tired of filming and wants to end the filming early, so that the film is not long, and a lot of writing and ink are needed. The details of the presentation are not fully grasped.
But it's still a captivating movie, and it's Johnny Depp's charisma that makes it worth watching.
