Every night, in the antique lounge, my father took off his socks, muttered something he couldn't understand, and took a glass of whiskey in his hand, taking a sip every 45 seconds. For the cowboy father, talking was a chore, far less than the joy of wielding a whip in his hand. By the way, the way TS's father was exposed to nibbling bread on his horses outside the house in the early morning in the rain was great. The father, who was born a hundred years late, has Puritan-like rules and discipline in his heart, and is stained with the hottest colors of cowboy buddies. This guy is a conservative silent Puritan with a cowboy look.
Nonsense crickets.
Well, the gorgeous TS mother appears. This is also a taciturn character, obsessive, but joyful. Are you really happy? No, just because she's an excellent comedic actress with long chain glasses. My mother is a doctor of insects. At this time, the doctor has nothing to do with the social class and work content. The mother's doctoral status is only for a reasonable explanation - she is such a person who bows her head to accurately study lice and crickets, and hangs her glasses on her nose when she looks up. Mom raised her head up. She's alive, doesn't have much sense of presence, but exists entirely in her own world, and occasionally makes cameo roles during the children's mealtimes.
I love this mom.
She is the person who moves me the most in the film world, smart, trivial, and focused. Everyone is focused, my father is focused on cowboy affairs, my sister is very obsessed with Miss America, and she is not a woman who can compete with intelligence, Layton, who is alive, is busy discovering the wonderful world brought by the body, and our protagonist TS is naturally bigger than him. Length of Strange Travel and Perpetual Motion. Only Mom, her concentration is calm and laborious, boring and vivid. I love this character. She brings to the film a quiet and ordinary, but never wise, natural temperament, even if it comes from a housewife.
When it comes to the love between the two of them, TS said:
How my parents fell in love is a mystery
. Their difference is like day and night
. But in the corner of the corridor
their palms rubbed
like they were secretly exchanging a few words. like a seed
The setting of the role of the younger brother Layton makes the development of the story more vivid, clues and more complete. Anything, involving death, will come thick. But it's not these that impress me. Layton's life and death, the heavy blows and changes left in the world of TS belong to TS, and too much interpretation will pollute or even destroy such a plot setting. But for me, what touched my heart was a scene: the mother, thinking of the fact that Layton died, folded her arms, stood in front of the window with the green curtain blown by the wind, and looked out the window like that. That scene made the whole movie come to an abrupt end in my heart. Life, old age, sickness and death, living, there is such grief or grief to bear, and this grief has turned into a real and great natural life. Life, life, will be joyless and heartless, and it will also be sad with the ghost of pain that will never fade away.
I also slept, and as a spectator, it is essential to sleep in the dark. As a living person, it is essential to make a post-viewing film specimen at this moment, even if it is sketchy and simple.
