Find this film from McKee's "Story", the film turned out to be so delicate.
I like the fragmented information depicted by the director from the perspective of others, and gradually piece together the first half of the protagonist's life in the second half of his 90-minute life. Thanks to Duvall's meticulous portrayal of such a character who is so impoverished, but still obsessed with music and so deeply in love.
A person who has experienced the ups and downs of the world does not necessarily have to be fully enlightened. It is more likely that he still has nostalgia and attachment to the past. This is the real life, and only then can he become a flesh-and-blood person on the screen. Duvall interprets the role from two dimensions, occupation and emotion.
Even though he has experienced vicissitudes in his career, he still retains the pride and pursuit, which is a belief. Even if you try to look like you don't care, the glory of the past and the love for music have already been integrated into your bones.
But in love, he is so restrained. After not seeing him for many years, the protagonist is even a little overwhelmed when the sudden daughter invites her father to meet her often. Out of the protection of his daughter, the perfect father in the past, he said nonchalantly that he had forgotten about his future, but when his daughter left, he secretly opened the curtains, watched her leave, and sang the song to her when she was a child. The past ballad: he sent him his love, on the wings of a dove. At the end of the low singing, that sigh, which was slightly trembling due to emotion, was full of guilt, longing, and the excitement of seeing his daughter again. The back under the long shot is meticulous and full of affection.
I like the heroine in the movie very much, she is so inconspicuous, even a little low, but as long as there is her place, you can feel her care for the protagonist, meticulous. After thinking about it all day, I waited for the male protagonist. There were no such clichés as fluttering hugs and asking and blaming. All my worries and thoughts were combined into one sentence: Have you eaten, I will make something for you. She is not a saint. When the protagonist goes to see his ex-wife perform, she will secretly feel resentment and jealousy, and she will be as happy as a little girl when the protagonist talks to him. Ordinary character depiction, restore the most real life, this is the film, art.
