"The Strange Voyage of Teenage Spey," is lighter, brighter, and more pleasing to the eye. The film is directed by French director Jean-Pierre
Jeunet. Audiences who like his masterpiece "Amelie" will naturally like it, and audiences who don't particularly
love should also like this new film. It also maintains Amelie's bright colors and fantasy visions. " Strange Travel" is more natural and real than Amelie, with infinite childlike interest, but it lacks a bit of Amelie 's sense of absurd camouflage caused by
too strange imagination . Cinematography is so good that almost every frame can be a photograph on its own. Teenage Speyway lives in rural Montana, USA. The film begins with a few strokes to outline the teenager's family and living environment. The teenager said, " If my parents lived in the United States a hundred years ago, the situation would be much better than now." Indeed, this family is completely out of tune with the times . It's not just a matter of character, the film begins with a mockery of the isolation that might be a blessing in the middle of America. The most outstanding thing in the whole movie is the shaping of the characters. Let's take a look at how outlines the family: the boy's father is a standard American red-neck cowboy, hunting and grazing. My only daily hobby is sitting on the couch watching corny westerns and having a punctual sip of whiskey every 45 seconds. The teenager's mother is a Ph.D. in entomology, obsessed with studying insects, and somehow married a semi-literate cowboy, and has never had a career. The housework was a mess, and a dozen toasters were broken. The teenage sister dreams of becoming Miss America, but has never been out of Montana, and can only peel corn kernels, cook corn soup every day, and by the way xmjdh her brother.
The boy's younger brother is a standard little cowboy who is very popular with his father. He likes to dance with knives and guns. As a result, his father gave him a birthday present
- a gun accidentally went off and became a tragic figure. Although the boy felt that his younger brother had taken away the family's love for him, he still
loved his younger brother very much, and he had always fantasized about the resurrected younger brother talking to him during his bizarre travels.
Finally, there is the boy, the protagonist of the movie. A talented little scientist, his brain is naturally a little weird, but he is also very
clever in many cases. After learning that he had won the Smithsonian's highest science award, he made the long journey to DC.
A person's journey is a story of growth. Through the perspective of a teenager, the movie allows us to see a
lot of hypocrisy and illusion in the adult world through laughter.
In addition to the protagonist's family, the film uses humorous methods to outline many supporting characters, including enthusiastic and rough American working people,
as well as hypocritical and cunning members of the science award committee, administrators, and media hosts. Although a little exaggerated, the image
is quite vivid. After the boy won the award, the museum tried to make a story for the sake of fame and the media, so that the boy would
become a "person with a story" and lied (remembering the Good Voice and many other programs).
The film satirizes these people and the business operation system behind them in a spicy but not excessive tone . Until the end of the story, the teenager's parents rushed over from the countryside
and punched each of these hosts and storytellers, and the audience was hooked.
The film finally returns to the traditional theme of the family core. The teenager has returned to his hometown, and the latest invention is a hand-free perpetual cradle for his soon-to-be-
born little brother (sister). This ending is a bit conservative, but for a light
comedy , everyone is happy. Audiences walking out of the movie theater should be content, especially since they'll be
reminded for a long time of the crystal clear water, the endless cornfields, and the chocolate cones hanging in the blue Montana sky.
