a little impression

Alternative fictional documentary, very unique director's perspective and method. Through black and white photography interspersed with character interviews, the film truly shows the audience the bizarre life story of the fictional "color-changing man" Zelig. After watching this film, it reminds me of myself, not that I am also doing the environment all the time. chameleon? In order to fit in and integrate into the so-called "environment" and become popular, I constantly adjust myself and pretend to be someone else. I think this is also one of the biggest causes of anxiety and pain for many people. Finally borrowing Woody's advice for kids: "You gotta be yourself, you know, you shouldn't pretend to be someone else just because you think they know the answers to all the questions and you don't, just be yourself. In this way, learn to speak boldly and say whatever you think in your heart.”

Zelig quotes

  • House-Painting Victim: He painted my house a disgusting color. He said he was a painter. I couldn't believe the results. Then he disappeared.

  • Leonard Zelig: I would like to apologize to everyone. I... I'm awfully sorry for, for marrying all those women. It just, I don't know, it just seemed like the thing to do.
