I watched an abnormal and bizarre movie "Abnormal".
This is an American animated film, but it has the taste of Haruki Murakami, but there are also differences. It is
also about loneliness. The protagonist in Haruki Murakami's novels is often the same as his own loneliness Get along and enjoy yourself
, while the protagonist of this movie is completely trapped in his own loneliness.
The protagonist of "Disorder" is Michael Stone (Michael Stone) is a best-selling chicken soup author. His best-selling book is How Do I Help "You Go Help Others" is ironic that he goes around teaching people how to help others, but he is the one who needs it the most. The
story is simple. Stone is going to Cincinnati to give a motivational speech. A married man facing a midlife crisis meets a A playful but inferior woman, Lisa, encounters a deviant
plot. Although the plot is simple, the whole film is full of exquisite details.
This is also similar to Murakami's novel
. The details of the bizarre seatmate
on the plane, the chatty taxi driver on the road, the annoying waiter in the hotel,
few montages, almost all long shots Straightforwardly expressed, but through these details, you can feel Stone's loneliness, loneliness, exhaustion and anxiety. This is the common problem of people who live and work in big cities for a long time. Although there are no ups and downs, it is easy to resonate with the audience. The voices of everyone outside are the same. This is the strangest and most important detail. At first, it was a little unclear. So why are the voices of men and women the same? The geek director always likes to play word games with the audience, and he especially likes to study the word games of various mental illnesses
The protagonist of "New York Synonyms" is called Cotard, which corresponds to Cotard's paranoia, a mental illness in which patients think they are dead. Therefore, one of the important themes of the whole film is life and death
. The hotel the protagonist stays in is called Fregoli, which corresponds to Fregoli's paranoia, a mental illness in which patients believe that everyone around them is played by the same person,
and Stone seems to have this disease. Feeling bored and uninterested so he hears everyone's voice the same
voice is just a metaphor that basically means that for him everyone, everything and everything is normal and boring He doesn't even know what to live for so Anxiety and confusion is
usually his closest friend and his worst enemy
. It's a bit exaggerated, but in real life, such people abound
The audience resonates deeply because he can often accurately grasp the core of the world and human nature and amplify it through weird plot rendering. Murakami is also the same.
In Stone's world, the only voice that can be distinguished from ordinary people comes from a random encounter in a hotel. His fans
, Lisa, and Lisa's presence saved Stone, who was about to rip his face apart, and made him see something different. He found the "disorder" he had longed for, and
they fell into a mad love The next morning after being crazy and passionate, Stone told Lisa that he was going to spend the rest of his life with her and even planned to call immediately to divorce the "normal" wife
He excitedly told Lisa that I finally found you
like a dying man found He finally found the long-awaited disorder and hoped to live a different life through this disorder.
If the movie goes on like this, then the movie will be reduced to normal and the protagonist Stone will sell it all around. The chicken soup that I don't believe in.
A middle-aged man who fell into the ordinary found a disorder through a business trip and found a new life.
Whimsical and wishful thinking
, but the excellent Kaufman will never be so mediocre
. The plot of the movie is reversed at this seemingly wonderful climax.
Just as the two are imagining their new life, Stone begins to discover many "problems" in Lhasa, such as Bian Dakou While chewing and talking, he has a strong desire to control and chatter
. A surprising and sad scene happened. In Stone's eyes, Lisa's unique voice like the sound of nature gradually turned into a rough voice like everyone else.
Lisa also It finally became "normal"
Stone completely broke down in the hall during the day speeches incoherently
talking about the importance of understanding the difference in caring for each guest, then talking about feeling that everything was the same and not knowing why he was alive
Before meeting Lisa, Stone made an appointment with his ex-girlfriend whom he hadn't seen for many years. The ex-girlfriend asked him why he suddenly didn't tell him in the first place and didn't want to know the reason
. Years later the same thing played out in the city again Stone fell madly in love with a woman and then left without telling
most of the people in the maelstrom of metropolis competition, like Stone, in the quagmire of "ordinary" Unable to extricate themselves, confused and anxious
, everyone yearns for an "abnormal" to break free from the "normal" that is followed and unable to break free,
but Kaufman ruthlessly shattered the dream of "poetry and distance",
maybe the crux of the problem is not the crux of the problem The difference between "normal" and "abnormal" is that
if people lose their curiosity and perception of the world, no matter how
beautiful the "abnormal" will become "normal"
