the truth of life

It is a very calm and trivial movie, but there is a sense of daze and decadence everywhere, the kind of deep depression and confusion, after stripping the cocoon, it calmly restores the pale core of life, behind the bright and beautiful are decadent sensuality and hypocrisy Greetings, the arrival of the daughter is a clear stream of the dead sea-like numb life of the male protagonist. The truth of life can not only be the pursuit of fame, fortune and desire, but also an exquisite breakfast after the daughter wakes up in the morning, and a frolic in the swimming pool.
The film uses a lot of fixed shots to express the emptiness of life. The twin sisters' two pole dances and the various beauties who kept appearing later gave a clear account of the protagonist's rotten life. Children are a touch of innocence and softness in this world ruled by adults, pounding our numb life bound by plaster headgear and bandages. At the end of the film, the male protagonist drives away after checking out and reminds me of the lyrics that were said to be rotten. , Life is not only about the hustle and bustle in front of you, but also poetry and fields in the distance. More often, we are like the Ferrari wandering around the ring road at the beginning of the film, doing repetitive movements mechanically and numbly and forgetting the countless possibilities that life originally had, and we are driven by money, fame and fortune. Before flying, and finally seeing that it has been spinning in place.
Wait, is this a film that calls for men to return to their families?

    Road movies are really a good carrier for the protagonist to change the trajectory of his mind, especially the road accompanied by children or teenagers. "The Perfect World", "Finding the Beginning of Happiness", "Names Lost on the Map"... have all been tried and tested. Sophia Coppola is really suitable for such an understatement. "Somewhere" can accurately convey the defeated mood of the glorious protagonist. As for what the trip with my daughter has changed, it’s inconvenient to say

    The most intriguing scene in this film: the protagonist is making a headgear model during the filming. During the time when the mold is finalized, only the nose is left to maintain breathing. In the daytime, it is like a dark night. The long silence is only the restless and weak nose gasping back and forth. Such a scene is like a microcosm of his living state: the colorful world has long faded in his heart, the light of his eyes has also faded to explore beautiful things, and the aimless breathing of his mouth and nose is the only meaning of his existence.

  • Johnny Marco: What's that book about again?

    Cleo: It's about this girl that's in love with this guy. But he's a vampire, and his whole family's vampires. So she can't really be with him.

    Johnny Marco: Why doesn't she become one too?

    Cleo: doesn't she become one too? Cleo: Because she can't. He doesn't want to turn her into a vampire. And if she gets too close to him, he won't be able to help himself.
