Paper Pecans, Pecans and Wenwan Walnuts

The first feeling after watching the film is that the film consciousness is not conveyed smoothly, and the intention of the film is still vague until the end credits. The boy's bursting state is the most unacceptable part of the film from beginning to end, and he doesn't end it in the end, which greatly reduces the enjoyment of watching the film. The boy is actually a dead character, and his schizophrenia has no head and no tail (yes, before 9/11, the father's actions have shown that there is some kind of instability in the boy, but the later text does not foreshadow this in order to strengthen 911 Explain that the meaning of the "sixth area" is extremely unclear, and it does not play a role in helping to construct the motif of "finding", but instead becomes a stumbling block for the rhythm to continue), and the relationship with the mother before 9/11 can only rely on After the death of his father, the estrangement between the two is speculated. There are many similar "stumbling blocks" in the film, and it is necessary to use imagination to connect the cause and effect.
The boy's transformation isn't well done at the end, and those "stumbling blocks" make the character less endearing. The film focuses on soothing the American audience after 9/11 in the process of the boy's transformation. As far as the whole film is concerned, the focus on "soothing" greatly exceeds the control of structure and rhythm. Talking is like the walnut kernel of a film, it cannot be presented naked in front of the audience, or, in other words, it should also be obtained in the "searching" of watching a film. Emotions that are too easy to find often cannot be cherished. The film puts "soothing" directly on the stage to preach, so that the overall balance of the film is completely inclined to emotion, and the transformation of the character's heart is like a walnut that is difficult to break open. We can only touch the shell of its hands and guess the inside. The shape and flavor of the nut.
In this way, watching a movie and eating walnuts are also very similar. The paper-skinned walnuts have thin skins and large kernels, which can be broken when you pinch them. The pecan has a hard outer shell and the kernels are gathered in the center of the core, which requires a lot of force to break open, making it difficult but not fun to eat. There is also a kind of walnut called Wenwan. The nut is small, but the shell is delicate and can be viewed. The paper-skin walnut is a lovely existence, the pecan has a stubborn temperament, and the Wenwan walnut is delicate and delicate. In fact, no matter what kind of walnut, as long as it can be used, it is a good walnut. Just like no matter how you classify a movie, a movie is a movie. As long as the viewing process is pleasant or thought-provoking, it can be regarded as a good movie. "Extremely Loud and Very Close" seems to be a walnut that is difficult to break open. When you bought it, the walnut seller told you that this kind of walnut is very brain-boosting and you won't regret buying it, so you bought a bag full of expectations and went home. You can't break it by smashing it dry, but because of the shouting of the walnut sellers, you feel that your method is wrong. Then you smash it harder. After two hours of smashing, the walnut finally opens, revealing that it is smaller than peanuts. of nuts.
You suddenly feel that you have been cheated. Two hours of hard work finally got the same result as a dull fart, and the price of this walnut is not cheap.
It does not have the approachability of paper walnuts, nor the incisiveness of smashing pecans, nor the lovable face of Wenwan walnuts.
So...
people must live with fear and sadness, and any fear and sadness are accompanied by antecedents and consequences. If a person suddenly becomes restless without cause and effect - even if he has experienced 911, can we superficially identify that he is sick?
What should we soothe? Who should be soothed? Or, is it the people who try to comfort others who need to be comforted more? Those who talk about salvation every day are the ones who need to be cleaned up and healed the most?

  • Oskar Schell: It's just a box! An empty box!

    Linda Schell: I know it's an empty box! I know this. But I did it for me, and I did it for you so we can at least try and say goodbye to him. Because he's gone, Oskar, he's gone and he's not coming back. Never. I don't know why a man flew a plane into a building. I don't know why my husband is dead. But no matter how hard you try, Oskar, it's never gonna make sense because it doesn't. It doesn't... make... sense!

    Oskar Schell: Fukozowa you! You don't know anything!

  • [first lines]

    Oskar Schell: There are more people alive now than have died in all of human history, but the number of dead people is increasing. One day, there isn't going to be any room to bury anyone anymore. So, what about skyscrapers for dead people, that are built down. They could be underneath the skyscrapers for living people, that are built up. We could bury people 100 floors down. And a whole dead world could be underneath the living one.
