Will fans who are familiar with Jarmusch care about what kind of turbulent plot Jarmusch sets in the movie or what wonderful acting skills the actors have dedicated, because Jarmusch himself doesn't care. Jarmusch's movies are like bad jokes, people who don't like them find it inexplicable, and those who like them laugh out loud. Boredom may be the biggest feature of Jarmusch's films, and wandering and alienation are the labels that film critics love to put on Jarmusch. In Jarmusch's films, there are often seen gangsters doing nothing, strangers walking aimlessly with luggage, and gags and then cold conversations. This is a kind of normal life conveyed by Jarmusch through the language of the film lens. Boredom is The essence of life, and encounter, wandering, separation, missing, etc., are unpredictable in fate. Some people say that every director's work will carry the shadow of his debut, and Jiamusu's debut "A Shadow in Paradise" sets the tone for the style of the films he has made in his life. In "Stranger Things in Paradise", Jarmusch tells the story of a young man played by John Lurie who does nothing and thinks he is fashionable and some of the boring lives of his cousin, who are separated from the cousin under a series of coincidences. Since then, the boring life of characters in Jarmusch's films is the norm, and the coincidence and staggering of fate are the traction lines of the film. Jarmusch has a different opinion on coolness. The DJs who dress, speak lively, smoke and drink, play with lighters and even the radio all reveal a coolness. Secondly, Jarmusch's taste in music is more talked about by movie fans. Director Jarmusch has been in the underground music circle all the year round and has made a lot of music wizards like Tom Waits, John Lurie, etc. are all Jarmusch's guests, except for occasional friendship The soundtrack to every movie is basically from these friends, so even if you put aside the Jarmusch movie, the soundtrack alone deserves a good review.
"Mystery Train" is a three-part story. The three stories seem to have nothing to do with each other, but there is a loose connection between the characters and the location. Overall, the main destination of the three stories is a hotel in Memphis by a voice Contact at gunshots. Jarmusch used overlapping scenes, dialogue, and parallel gunfire to mark the intersection of the three stories as he filmed them. The first story is that a Japanese couple who are obsessed with American 1950s rock music come to Memphis. The two came to Elvis' hometown in a pilgrimage mood. The two wandered aimlessly in Memphis with bamboo poles carrying luggage, and they ended up staying at a hotel in Memphis. The boy is a typical Jarmusch character, juggling lighters, cold and disinterested in everything. The second story is that a widowed Roman woman accidentally shares a hotel with a Memphis local girl who broke up with her boyfriend. The local girl is leaving Memphis to go to a distant friend. The third story is that the local girl's boyfriend got into trouble under the double blow of losing his job and his girlfriend left Take the gun brother-in-law. Under the whole, the same hotel, the same gunshot, the accidental encounter between a Japanese couple and a local girl on the train, and the three escapees passing under the train. There's no point in discussing Jarmusch's films excessively. You'll end up laughing at the characters while agreeing with Jarmusch's musical tastes. Transitioning to our question from the movie How wonderful do you want your life to be? Thinking about how we spend most of our daily life in boredom, I often feel the same feeling of tiredness here and there. If you haven’t given up and don’t want to do nothing, why don’t you try to improve your quality of life? ? Be cool even when bored. Furthermore, regarding the interaction between people, people's life is destined to have different intersections with different people, and we can't see the inextricably intertwined fate or the butterfly effect. Everyone who wanders on the edge of life is a lonely person who cannot return home.
