So, the old Woody in the movie "Nebraska" trembled to walk to Lincoln City to get his one million, which is really a fairy tale.
Fairy tales are fairy tales, the old man really went, of course not by walking, but by his younger son. He saw the scenery along the way, told jokes, and went back to his hometown, but finally, this fairy tale is over, everything must be back to reality.
The plot of the film is set in a cold winter, just like old age, and the whole film is black and white, which adds to the desolation and desolation. Old Woody lives in Billings City, his two sons have jobs, and the family is not at the point of jingle. The younger son sells a record player, and the eldest son is a TV host, and old Woody is not a man who is addicted to money. He's just a wine jar. Most of the wine jars are of a decadent family, and there are pimples in their hearts, and old Woody's pimples are regrets.
A person has lived for a long time, always thinking about things, like to take out the bad things in this life, to see what is not satisfactory, where is the bright spot, people like Woody, after turning over all the memories, they just don't. I found a few bright spots, so he was depressed, and he felt that this life was in vain.
The days of vain life are not going back, and the days of dying are not long. The only hope is that a miracle will happen, and winning the jackpot is a miracle. Woody had to believe that he would rather believe that a miracle happened than that it was a scam, even if the scam couldn't deceive even a child, because this was his chance.
If you had a million, what would you do? At first, Woody would say, I'm going to buy a pickup and an air compressor. It's no surprise to want a pickup, but what about an air compressor? The air compressor was actually a lump in Woody's heart. Although it had been more than 40 years, he still remembered that Ed had borrowed his air compressor and never returned it. From this point of view, the old man has become stubborn, almost like a child, and has been brooding for a little bit of sesame. Under the repeated questioning of the younger son, Woody said another purpose, which is to leave something for his brothers. This is human nature. After all, when people are old, they will think about future generations. Because of Woody's dissatisfaction with his life, he failed to provide better support for his children and failed to be a good father.
Throughout Woody's life, ordinary. This word is good or bad, but ordinary is the true portrayal of most people's lives. He is a taciturn person. He is very kind and doesn't know how to refuse, so he is often used by others. He went to North Korea to fight. After the war, he partnered with Ed to open a repair shop. After that, he moved to the city. Glossy. Therefore, Woody has always had an impulse in his heart, that is, the glory of success, which is the dream of many ordinary people.
A million is definitely an honor, and in a small country like Hawthorne, where material desires dominate, a million can completely remove the mask of hypocrisy.
Hawthorne was a place that couldn't be more depressed, and the economy was sluggish, and Ray's two sons were witnesses. Cole and Najib looked like fat pigs. They usually idled around. Cole also squatted because of sexual harassment, so the two volunteered on the street. And of course they became the representatives of the rush for money. Ed turned over the old accounts, and Aunt Betty also turned out the old accounts. Cole and Nagy actually went ahead and robbed them in masks. It can be said that people's hearts are eaten by dogs. Woody's wife Kate said it very vividly, and those greedy vultures rushed on before people died.
It turned out to be a joke, of course, and everyone grinned again, laughing at Woody for being stupid, and laughing at themselves for being an idiot.
Although the film is black and white, although sad, it is full of laughter. When the car went to President Hill, Woody said that the statue was terrible. The sculptor must have been bored and gave up. Washington wore a dress and Lincoln lost an ear. Come out and make people laugh. Looking for dentures, the son lied to him, he lied to his son, the two were stunned, it was really funny. The two fat pig cousins were even more amusing. They always took the cousin's two-day drive from Billings to Hawthorne as a joke, and took it out from time to time. Woody's two sons are more serious, but they have also done an interesting thing, that is, stealing an air compressor, and even stealing it wrong. To say the most humorous person in the whole film is their mother Kate, who chattered endlessly when she appeared on the stage, scolded Woody like a ghost, and said that the whole city wanted to eat her tofu, because the boys there were all Grow up staring at cows and pig butts.
Dealing with it in a humorous way is also a compromise. After all, life is not all gloomy, and this movie has been returned to the theater.
This film can be called a fairy tale, because the ending fulfilled the dream. The scam is of course a scam, but the magazine still sent a hat, the winner's hat, and the younger son also sent a pickup truck, which he bought in the name of the old man. Of course, the air compressor didn't cost a lot of money.
The old man "alone" drove his pickup truck through the streets of Hawthorne, and passersby cast surprised and envious glances, including the snobbish Ed. As a result, the old man's dream of becoming a millionaire has come to an end. He enjoyed heroic applause and the joy of a successful person.
