The advantage of this film is extremely obvious, that is, the emotional communication is very in place. I believe that everyone who is wandering outside will have a strong sense of substitution when they see this film. The director, score, performance, art, photography and other aspects are very well matched. The director uses a smooth and somewhat lyrical narrative method to make the story clear and beautiful. Various details, such as eating a bad stomach, going to work in a department store, wearing a swimsuit, etc., are very realistic and touching. These are also closely related to the moving details of the original novel. It has almost become the most touching film I have seen this month. Why is it almost?
Mainly because of the time when I went back to my hometown. This is a movie based on a novel. A key issue in changing a novel into a movie is how to make the internal conflict of the characters too strong for performance, and how to strengthen the weaker social conflict and interpersonal conflict. Under this premise, it is also necessary to consider the box office after the adaptation, and not to offend the original party, which is a headache for every screenwriter who adapts the script. In the part of returning to my hometown, the original book should have a lot of inner drama, but when the screenwriter and director made the novel into a movie, they did not describe the inner conflict of the protagonist well, or the movie actually has a description, but it is not well conveyed. , so it seems that the protagonist's front and back characters are inconsistent. Judging from the first half of the film, the protagonist is a very assertive girl who knows what she needs to do, but when she returns to her hometown, the protagonist suddenly becomes a lost green tea. In fact, if before going to New York, the protagonist's dependence on his hometown can be reflected a little more, this part will be better. Of course, it would be much better if the author made a key adaptation and let the heroine not get married before coming back. But this is unacceptable to fans of the original. And the change is relatively large, and the emotional flow also needs to be rearranged.
The soundtrack to the whole film is very good. After listening to the popular for too long, I haven't heard the traditional pentatonic melody for a long time. With the interpretation of the musical instruments of that era, it makes us seem to return to the small town folk style of Ireland, with simplicity and innocence, opportunities, challenges and hope. of the United States. It was a time when there were no bikinis, it was a time when commitment and order were valued, and it was a time when in mainstream culture, people lived together because they got married. It was an era of dance parties and movies. At the same time, it is also an era when you need to grab the toilet and negotiate with the other party, and it is still an era when you have to live in the basement. In short, it is difficult for modern people to imagine, but the film is so real.
In fact, the reason why many films now seem boring is because they are too detached from life. The protagonist lives in a villa-like house casually, and casually wins the favor of handsome men or beauties. Perhaps this type of work is an escape from life and a relief from the pain of reality. But that kind of powerful, real life story is not full of labor-saving coincidences, nor is it full of over-dramatic conflicts that are made up, but from the perceptual representation of real life experience, from the long-term heart of the writer. Accumulation and wonderful brushwork in hand can truly touch people's hearts.
Well, let's go back to the movie, a woman with strengths, weaknesses, self-esteem, and feelings, who lived in New York across the Atlantic, is truly like every wandering friend. Although it seems that this is a story about the West Coast of the Atlantic Ocean 66 years ago, for those of us who watch the film, we can easily correspond to China in the West Pacific case. It is also a galloping era. It is also homesickness, struggle, rooting, marriage and childbirth, competition and hard work, and finally staying there. Sincerely recommend to everyone who is wandering outside.
