Llewyn is a sullen folk singer who sings at the Gaslamp Bar in Greenwich Village. After the show, he wanders around on the sofas of various friends' houses, and when he is lucky, he has a delicious dinner of minced meat and eggplant. He was poor and hungry, and he couldn't even afford a coat to keep out the cold when winter came. Obviously fate didn't care for the poor folk singer, and Llewyn was not to be outdone in showing his cynicism, he was rude, willful, irresponsible, and a little bit self-righteous, he made his friend's wife's belly belly up to her friend. Borrowing money to perform an abortion; learning from a well-known abortion doctor that he has a child he has never met; getting angry at a professor’s friend’s house; swearing at his younger nephew; lacking enough respect for his peers. In the eyes of friends, he is an out-and-out asshole, and in the eyes of his family, he is an unrealistic loser.
Llewyn was in the 1960s when American folk songs were booming. It can be said that many singers in that era were poets. They could sing heartbreaking and beautiful songs with their guitars in their mouths. It was precisely because too many people wanted to try, and this Maybe nine out of ten are like Llewyn, talented but not top-notch, with dreams but not persistent, life is like the snow in the film, mocking them mercilessly. But are they really bad people? What options do they have? Put it on you and me, when I encounter such a bad thing, I will always spit out a sentence: "Fuck you, I don't do it!" Then slap his ass and walk away, like Tyler Durton in Fight Club, handsome, strong, agile, brave, wild, and great in bed, he fights, burns buildings, seems omnipotent, faces any life The unbearable in it is always one word: Do it! In "Drunken Country Ballads", Llewyn didn't even have the right to say goodbye. When he felt tired, he gave up his dream and obeyed his fate to take over his father's job. As a result, he lost his seaman's card. After a few days, he wanted to come to an end. Nothing was done, only to go back to the Gaslamp Bar to sing. When I heard that the bar owner also slept with the woman he loved, I think Llewyn must have completely collapsed his beliefs, which is why he was yelling at the bar with red eyes and swollen eyes. I fucking hate folk music. Maybe another director The ending of the story will become a little inspirational and clear, but the Coen brothers are brilliant in setting an ending that is the same as the beginning. The director seems to have no sympathy at all, and even laughed coldly behind the camera, "Performance - Finish work - be beaten" The Coen brothers tell you in a dark humorous tone that if life was the same as the first time, you would be bruised and bruised.
At the end of the film, the undetected Cohen-esque caring left its mark, and Llewyn sang "fare thee well" in the bar. The audience, like the protagonist, sang to tears in the song - If I had a wings Like Norah's dove I 'd fly up the river to the one I love. I think Llewyn must have too much to say. Reality is absurd and cute, it is not as beautiful as you imagine, and it is not as cruel as you imagine. You can curse, praise, scold, and sing loudly. The beginnings and turns of life are always at some indescribable Showing silently all the time, will you think of your current appearance three years ago? Life is still long, and we all spend our long life constantly losing and searching.
On the late bus, I saw a book my friend gave me. The author wrote on the title page: Long live the movie. So I remembered a very old song "Dreams of bright silver color with the outside body". Life is like a drama, drama is like life, thank you movie for accompanying me on this journey.
