Jiamusu is "Fake Muxu"

Ophelia 2022-03-28 09:01:04

Jia Muxu is a senior Wen Qing, and he knows Wen Qing very well, so his films can always be admired by many Wen Qing. More than ten years ago, I liked his Broken Flower when I sat quietly in the cinema alone, but as I got older, I didn’t like his tone more and more. This "Patterson" is the same, the surface is soothing and natural, but in fact, there is a deliberate craftsmanship everywhere, and the sight is aimed at Wen Qing at any time. In fact, it is a hypocritical version of the story of New Jersey Fan Yusu. The character design is also very false: the male protagonist is the kind of nasty guy who is disgusting all day long, and the female protagonist is a "perfect dream girlfriend" tailor-made for the majority of single dog Wen Qing. . Even the dog is fake, and its only role in the film is a tool, first to make the audience worry about it being stolen, and then to promote the plot to welcome Masahiro Nagase's appearance. 5.5/10

    A particularly old-school literary youth, a particularly saucy movie. The advantage is that the degree is just right, and the moment when you use various daily life to correspond to the poetry, it will not be so hypocritical. Poetry in the ordinary, fighting against the mediocrity of life with one's own hobbies, this is almost the inner monologue of every young film artist. It's just that we are often ashamed to admit it. Instead, he would laugh at himself with the phrase "stupid".

    The thoughts of an ordinary person who is silent, focused and rich in heart are small, sincere and introverted while expressing emotions in poetry, and have nothing to ask for in the external world. My favorite screen role in ten years. Because of the strong sense of substitution, there must be a lot of emotional points, but being able to accurately describe a character with such a calm and orderly rhythm and angle itself reflects how emotional and sincere Jia Muxu has.

Paterson quotes

  • Doc: Paterson, you still don't got a cell phone?

    Paterson: Uh, no. No, I don't want one. It would be a leash.

    Doc: What about the better half, she got one?

    Paterson: She's got one, yeah. And the laptop, and an iPad...

    Doc: She doesn't want you to get one?

    Paterson: No. She's okay about it. She understands me really well.

    Doc: [mutters] A lucky guy.

  • Laura: You're up late, honey. Your silent magic watch didn't wake you up.

    Paterson: Yeah, it was a little late today.

    Laura: Well, somedays something inside just doesn't want to get up. Ever feel like that?

    Paterson: Today.
