The consequence of not watching the progress bar is to be stunned at the moment when the ending song on the black screen is played. I always feel that this is an unfinished ending. It is too sad for a journey that has never started to end in this way. But Jarmusch's film may be as tragic as others, but it still feels unique to the audience after that. It seems absurd in the film that they missed each other and parted ways. Thinking about it, it is so reasonable that we enjoy it over and over again, and our heart begins to start. enjoy solitude. The title of Stranger than Paradise has been discussed too many times, the grammar is not clear, and it is basically difficult for British and American people to grasp. But in a sense, we don’t need to delve into its name. There is no doubt that Jarmusch himself was deeply influenced by the Beats, and the names of the literary giants of the Beats were also casually said. At the beginning of “Naked Lunch” Burroughs took Naked Lust, misread by Ginsburg as Naked because of the scribbled handwriting Lunch, and Burroughs apparently thinks it's a better name, and weird names like "And the Hippo Was Cooked in the Sink" came about by chance overheard of a circus fire on the radio, but anyone who's read the book Everyone knows that it has nothing to do with animals. In the final analysis, the Beats reveal from their own bones to their own works that they are addicted to indulgence and do whatever they want, and this style of writing is exactly what Jarmusch is fervently pursuing and what he needs most in his films. , This "Stranger Things in Paradise" also has the taste of "On the Road". But on the other hand, the name also reflects the relationship between the stranger and heaven that the director wants to express. The male protagonist Willy came to New York from Hungary alone. During this period, New York was his "paradise". He dreamed of escaping from his original life, trying his best to integrate himself into the city, behaving, speaking, hobbies and thinking concepts. He spent a long time. Time went from being a "stranger" to being downright New Yorker, and even the vacuum cleaner has a unique New Yorker way of describing it. Living without a purpose and doing nothing, most of the New Yorkers at that time put nothingness at the top of their own, and this kind of life Willie knows very well, and when he gets used to it, he can't talk about dreams. Slowly, heaven has changed back to Budapest. The joke Willie told Ava in the film, he can't remember clearly, repeats repeatedly "there are three people walking down the street, one person tells the other that your shoelaces are open, and he says I know" or "two people." A person is walking on the street, one person says to another person that your shoelaces are loose, he says I know, and then they meet another person and say to him that your shoelaces are open..." The story did not go on, It's confusing in Willy's mind, maybe here Jarmusch is trying to show Willy and Eddie's lives before they met Ava, mentioning the shoelaces twice but not tying them once. The two of them have long been accustomed to life in New York, betting on horses and clubs. In the film, Eddie mentioned more than once that life in New York was boring and didn't want to go back to New York, but he never tried to change the status quo and tie "shoelaces". The third person - Ava, a complete stranger to him or New York, her seemingly out of place New Yorker's way of doing things seems to remind Willie and Eddie that their so-called New York life isn't that cool. . When Ava left, Willie and Eddie were reluctant. Willie was a little excited and asked Eddie if he saw the dress he bought for Ava. what. Ava threw the dress because she didn't like it, and Willie made her wear it even though she knew she didn't like it. The worldview of the two is obviously different because she doesn't t give a shit, and Willy cares more, the director laid a foreshadowing here, which means that the world view is different, and no matter how we go, we can't get together. Ava's dashing makes Willie feel more and more strongly that he doesn't want the life he has now. After spending too much time being a New Yorker, he finally dreams of escape again. He longs to be like Ava, and again, Ai. The baby's way of life has become the paradise he wants to chase. A year later he finally hit the road, with Eddie, and they were excited to set off, traveling from one long-stayed to another unfamiliar place with normal excitement. I found Ava, the three of them got together, and in the middle of it, I accidentally ruined the date between Ava and her boyfriend, but in the end, it was just the loneliness of a different place, "What's interesting is that you came to a new place, but everything seems to be The same." This sentence seems to be what Jarmusu wants to express most, so there is no splendor but desolation in his films. When I heard this sentence, I suddenly remembered what my brother said in "Dong Xie Xi Du", "Everyone will go through this stage, when they see a mountain, they want to know what is behind the mountain. I want to tell him, Maybe you will find nothing special when you go over the back of the mountain, and looking back, you may think this side is better." Interestingly, Wong Kar Wai was also influenced by a lot of Jarmusch, and the reason was in "Mong Kok Carmen". The days continued to be boring until the day they left, but Willie obviously felt unwilling, and proposed to go to Florida for a real vacation, turned around to pick up Ava, and the three set off for Florida. These two vacations are trips that just go away. They seem to be unrestrained. The bgm goes against the general tone of the whole movie and then rises. The journey begins to rise, but Jarmusch has the ability to dispel your good mood, not with a hammer, but with a slow grind until it disappears. The last part of the journey implied from the beginning that it would not be smooth sailing. Willie bought three pairs of sunglasses for them to put on, saying that this is like a real tourist, and asked Ava to hide from paying three rents. The three were tired. In the extreme, it is said that he is on vacation, but he still wants to bet on horses and dogs, etc. Jarmusu hinted that although he tried his best to get rid of the shackles of the New York style, his thinking had already penetrated deep into his bones. The next plot is more tense than the previous tiling. When I watched it for the first time, I felt that there was finally a dramatic plot. Later, I found that the whole movie was full of dramas. You have to admire it. Director skills. This is how life is. When you are full of hope and longing, a downpour pours a chill on your heart, and when you are disheartened, a big pie is thrown at you from the sky. After getting the money, the unexpected money ran over by itself, but after all, they still failed to complete their agreed vacation. In the end, Willie and Eddie won back the lost money and got the money that Ava left them, but they didn't catch up with Ava who left. Ava still went back to the motel and waited for them, Eddie went back to New York, Willie went to Budapest, separated, no more intersection, no more paradise. As for Ava, Willie Eddie, including her little boyfriend, naturally has a good impression of her, but Jarmusch did not vigorously exaggerate such a good feeling and turned it into a love movie. This kind of goodwill is only a form of The opportunity, as an opportunity for them to escape from the present and run towards freedom on the road, also corresponds to "On the Road". The film is divided into three parts, basically there are three big scenes, the depressing New York streets, the vast white snow, the beautiful but lifeless tourist area, all show the state of mind of the protagonist. Just leave blank. Willie thought he could change the status quo by driving on the road, but he only changed the environment, ignoring his heart. Here is one point. Before, he didn't take Ava out to bet on horses. Later, they took Ava to Florida but they still wouldn't let her. Going to bet on horses shows that his cognitive concept is like this, deeply ingrained, and has nothing to do with his likes and dislikes of Ava; and he said that Jay Hawkins' music was unpleasant, but he slowly accepted it, but after Eddie expressed his liking Instantly cold face, he didn't want to be changed, and he didn't want people around him to be changed; including that he and Eddie went out early in the morning without leaving a note for Ava, etc. These details are very coincidental, precisely because With these details, fewer lines will not appear pale, but instead enhance the atmosphere, and vividly reflect the inner emotions of several protagonists. In the end, the three of them chose different paths by mistake. What Jarmusu wanted to express, from the way I understand it, he wanted to express a sense of powerlessness, Life sucks, and yet, you just have to go on. There is no heaven, and for those who have no passion for life in their hearts, it is the same everywhere. What attracts me to this film is the various contrasts. Although the tone of the whole film is dark, it is humorous at times; the final ending is BE, but it is not uncomfortable, but has a very comfortable feeling; the characters in the whole film There is a screen full of embarrassment, but in addition to the embarrassment, it is very subtle. It is well grasped and the atmosphere is full. I love this kind of tone so much. After reading it, I just want to say: Jiamusu is awesome again, and, I love Ava, please give me a dozen of such a cool girl, I want to bend for her!
