Human society's ability to accept anomalies is worse than they imagined, so there is only a small amount of tolerance for those who behave heresy. Taking the universal as a criterion to measure these different people, there is a "psychotic" group.
A mentally ill person does not necessarily have extraordinary talent, but a person with this talent must be much higher than ordinary people in terms of achievement. They see bright stars in a world that ordinary people can't understand, and when they show it realistically, they have a unique beauty.
This year, the Empire of the Sun never sets released a literary youth film "Frank", which seems to be the most romantic interpretation of these gifted and unusual people. The overall feel of the film is like the dank, mottled streets of London, full of gloomy aura.
However, the story itself is not as depressing as the picture, full of little warmth, bewitching the audience to appreciate how Frank wearing a big headgear sings the song of the soul in his small space.
The work does not observe Frank from a single perspective, but through the participation of a third person, the musical genius with a big headgear is sculpted from the side. Music flows naturally, and fate goes with the flow to its destination. There is no pretentious decoration, not delicate but more real.
The most special thing is the wonderful spark when Frank's loneliness and the curiosity of a third person collide, like a willful innocent child and a stubborn rebellious youth, and like a young eagle and a crane, they seem to have something in common with each other, and finally But only two worlds.
Why have this role? Perhaps because Frank's special reality is too obscure, or perhaps because the self-righteousness of the person who represents a group of people when he pushes the "vulnerable group" into the abyss with good intentions is the point of view that the director is most ashamed to criticize but has to express.
This is like the current generation of young people, who yearn for a unique personality and a talent that is different from ordinary people, but they do not have enough self-expression in their own performance, and they do not have the courage to accept different voices. Therefore, I long for a leap in the sorrow of literature and art.
There is a wonderful character in the film called Clara. The shape cannot be called beautiful, but it is the most real existence stationed in the depths of Frank's heart.
She is domineering, fierce, crazy, but without losing classical beauty and delicacy. Understand Frank's weaknesses, inspire Frank's enthusiasm, and tap Frank's strengths. This woman who dances with mental illness is not simple.
Not only Clara is not simple, in fact, every band member in the film is not simple. Together, they never presented the audience with a decent and complete piece of music, but told the audience with their own actions and unfinished fragments that music is not a pop song, but an expression of life and soul thinking.
The past and future of these people can no longer be investigated. From the current picture, it can be guessed that they have had a turbulent and rich life. In the eyes of a third party, they are pitiful, but in their own eyes it is a wonderful and exciting day.
After watching the film, the audience has to pay tribute to Fa Shark and sister Gyllenhaal, it is their mental illness-like beauty that created the beautiful mental illness. That crazy and incomprehensible obsession makes the music out of chapters full of psychedelic colors.
This film is beautiful, has a very British tone, and has a very literary temperament, but it is by no means an inspirational film. It may have created a Forrest Gump in the 21st century, but instead of encouraging the audience to become that kind of person, it is instead enticing people to be more active and friendly to understand, identify and accept those different groups and the horizons they are trying to open. door.
