Movies have a characteristic, they like to get ahead. Before the picture comes out, or the previous picture does not end, the sound of the next picture follows. This technique is used for transition. Likewise, there are subtitles for June and July that accompany the transition. At the beginning of the film, the sound came, and I quickly entered the film. In the following paragraph, Mike ran into Joanna in a restaurant—his former bedmate and friend. Joanna told Mike that the man next to him was her fiancé, and Mike’s loss and distress were frozen. At this time, when Mike was still in the freeze frame, the voice of the latter part of the scene came over, and suddenly people felt sad at the same time as Mike. Just like when you are sad, listening to a song without responding at all, or not responding to the speeches of the people around you, the first voice in the painting has precisely such an effect.
Then again, a shot in a movie that I really like. Not long after the movie started, when Mike drove to the construction site, the camera was placed on the rear window to shoot the outside scenery, and the blue sky, trees and houses behind were reflected through the rear window, which was very, very beautiful. Through the switching of the camera, the scenery of the small town appears in front of you, which is immersive. The scene where Adam passed out on drugs and was dragged home by his sister was unforgettable. Adam was lying in the back seat of the car, and the camera was just below the message, facing Adam's face and the scenery outside the car window. And when my sister asked Adam, it seemed that she was looking at her from Adam's point of view, very direct and very emotional. Compared with such a scene, the scene of the striptease scene is mediocre.
Although the movie is very naked and very high, the overall tone is not publicized, and it is slightly dark. Even in the sunny weather, the waves are surging and the scenery is curling. It is still deliberately old and slightly gray, which seems to indicate Mike's inner struggle. That is to say, it looks very enjoyable on the surface, but it seems that there is an idea of escaping in the heart. Therefore, the color of the world is gray, which is a distance from the real world. In fact, Mike's struggle can also be seen in the dialogue between Mike and Adam's sister: "I am not my lifestyle. I am not my goddamn job. It is what I do, but it is not who I am." This is Mike's voice.
There are two lines in the movie, one is Mike's attempt to escape the world of striptease and go the road of creative furniture; the other is the line where Adam sinks from an ignorant teenager into the world of striptease. The movie depicts Adam's journey from a blank slate to drug addiction, promiscuity, and even drug sales. In the end, Mike managed to escape, and Adam succeeded in replacing Mike in Dallas' introduction as "the Cock-rocking King of Tampa". Adam was young, maybe Mike was in a similar situation back then, so when his sister was suspicious and confused, Mike once excused him and said that the little boy was only 19 years old, the age to pick up girls, spend money, and have fun. This may be Mike's year. Although Mike is the protagonist and constantly struggles between reality and ideals, to be honest, Tatum's performance is still not very convincing, only when he is on the stage makes people feel that it is the real him, and While he was struggling, his acting was not up to the demands of the movie. So, when he finally confessed his heart to Sister Adam, Brook sat there calmly without speaking, and completely suppressed his aura.
The background of the movie is also really good. When Mike and Adam were laying tiles on the roof, the view was either the sea or the far street, which was very beautiful. When Adam, Brooke and Paul were eating at the restaurant, the dark outer street was behind Brooke, the blurred lights were behind Paul, and the wall illuminated by lights was behind Adam. Although I don't want to over-interpret it, from Paul's eloquent speech, to Brooke's reluctant acceptance, to Adam's pat on the butt and walking away, the background is a good representation of the person trying to be the protagonist, the audience, and the people who really ignore the blurry lights. identities among people. When Dallas talked about going to Miami for development, there was a storm outside. Mike calmly and silently contrasted his passion for Dallas with the storm outside, showing his inner struggle and unease. There are a lot of these settings, and it's really good for understanding the movie. Maybe I'm over-interpreting it.
I prefer Matthew Mayconnor's performance, it's very good, he has the unique temperament of the boss, and his playing and singing are also very good; Brooke played by Cody Horn is also very good, especially the first one to watch the ballroom The expression on the strip is really well done; Olivia Munn's character is also likable, so she's bisexual.
