When I saw a Gu Liang in the comments, I had foreseen that the comments would be polarized. Yes, feel the same.
This is Dolan's third work I've seen, the first of the Academy Boys and the second of Mummy. When I watched the first part, I felt very shocked, so I downloaded many of his films. Although Mummy can also see his shadow, it may be that the topic is too controversial, and he is always swinging.
After watching this movie, it's a masterpiece.
For the first 40 minutes, I kept regretting that I didn't use a variable-speed player to watch it. The speech rate was too slow and the plot was boring, especially the family ethics drama everyone was talking about. I'm the most annoying family ethics drama, especially in French, because I don't understand it, so I'm more annoying. I couldn't agree more with the line in the short review "This is the most annoying character Vincent Cassel has ever played".
But later, I found out that the male lead, Louie, was actually the more disgusting character.
Granted, writers are all sensitive (no derogatory sense). I tried my best to find reasons for his departure, for his 12 years away from home, for him to give up his responsibilities as a brother and son, even if the house was shabby and shabby, with no roof, no windows, no doorknobs, There is no key, but I really didn't find it. Maybe it's because he's gay? But from the reaction of his family when he came back, my mother specially made a strong blue eye shadow, and also matched it with blue nails and a blue necklace. My sister went to buy cosmetics for him and painted eye shadow for the first time, because everyone knows Gays are more sensitive to fashion, and they work harder on themselves. Maybe something hit him in his childhood? Has there been a disaster or betrayal? Leah Seydoux asked this question on my behalf, but unfortunately the answer was no. Of course he must have been hit and that's why he decided to leave the house, but was it caused by his family? That's his excuse for not coming back from home for 12 years? Maybe it's because he has depression. However, the kind of estrangement he had with his family had nothing to do with depression, and he always kept an embarrassed and polite smile with his family, always answering in three or four words. It's not just alienation, it's arrogance.
This is also the reason for the outbreak of Vincent.
This story exemplifies two approaches to dealing with family dilemmas. Vincent is a kind of, such a big contradiction, it's no use just pretending to be okay. He loves it and hates it in his heart, so it's this annoying, non-stop provocation. But compared to the suffering he has suffered over the years, what are these? Only when conflicts erupt can force everyone to solve the problem, right? Mom, sister, and male protagonist are one of a kind. They try to pretend that nothing happened. Even if you have never met your second brother, you should act like you are very familiar with him, and you can't be polite, even if it is the first time you meet. Mom prepared her own lunch and dessert, trying to suppress all conflicts and have a reunion dinner, even though she knew her little son would be leaving tonight. Male lead, I don't think the male lead came back to see his family. Does he really miss his family? If you miss it, will there be no time to come back in 12 years? Will there be time to write a long letter? He is to see his old things, to see his old house, yes he is nostalgic, but he does not miss family. He just wants to be a pitiful person who complains about himself, who doesn't want to go home after watching the sunrise at the airport in the morning and drinking coffee. Who should he show his pity? Did he just want to go home and tell his family that I was going to die. Then I called my friends and said, you see, I said they have no feelings for me anymore.
Is it that you have no feelings or they have no feelings?
Everything your sister knows about you comes from Mom's memories and the briefings she's collected. After she heard that you had a cool ex-girlfriend, she also tried to pretend to be cool, but in fact she was just a silly girl who enjoyed square dancing with her mother and loved staying in the country. Mom likes to talk about the picnics she went to in those years. She said it over and over again. Even her married daughter-in-law has listened to it countless times, just because you and her husband are in that story. Looking at the suffering of her eldest son and daughter missing you over the years, even if she blames you again, she will only blame you and can't bear to say more. Your brother, over the years, your brother has supported the whole family. He has to take care of his sister and control his mother's smoking. He also has ideals, he also wants to go to a big city, but he can't leave after you leave. He has done so much for the family, and the family still adores you, and everyone treasures the postcards you send, even if you only say a few words at a time. While he hates your irresponsibility, he loves you deeply on the other, so he dare not mention you, his rage is just his cover up. He wants to pretend he doesn't love you, he's afraid he can't deceive himself. what about you? You say you are not the eldest son, you cannot replace dad. You are righteous.
When you left, according to what your mother explained, you said that you would come back more in the future, hope that your sister can visit you, and that your brother can spend the weekend with you. They all believed it, especially your brother. He was holding his wife's hand tightly under the table. He was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He could cry in the next second. Then you said you were leaving. Drink, drink, you really can't lie. What if you finish your meal and then leave? Your brother knows you so well that he knows you're leaving at five o'clock. Sure enough, you will not regret what you have done over the years. If you have any regrets, you will stay for a while longer to deceive your family. If you regret a little more, you will say "I'm going to die".
You feel like your family didn't give you the opportunity to say that. Really? "I'm going to die" is a sentence, two seconds is enough, right? When you said you were at the airport Barabala, you listened to your sister-in-law about her child Barabala, you listened to your sister's thoughts about you Barabala, when you hugged your mother, you didn't have two seconds to say that words? You are just too self-righteous, you want to lay the groundwork well, tell everything you have encountered, describe the surrounding flowers and trees, create a good atmosphere, when all the family members are watching you quietly, you say the sentence "I'm going to die" "That's the drama. You are too egoistic, you don't even know what your big brother does, you don't even know that your sister is so beautiful, you don't even know that your little nephew has the same name as yourself, and you think that If your family doesn't love you, you come to "announce your death" instead of meeting your family on your deathbed.
I am extremely sympathetic to the male protagonist, and I have a good impression of gay, but these are insignificant in front of what he does.
At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist is really handsome, and Li Wu looks like a gentleman's smile on his face. After watching the movie, I only think that the male protagonist is extremely ugly, that pear vortex may really be written on his face.
