The Italian complex in American movies comes from Al Pacino and De Niro, two of my most obsessed uncles, especially Italian gangster movies such as "Once Upon a Time in America", "Good Guys", and "The Godfather". Italian comedies come from "Life is Beautiful", but I don’t see much about Italian-American family movies. "Moonlight Sultry" is full of Italian food, wine, opera and most importantly-handsome, full of Nicolas Cage when he was young The forehead is not as bald as it is now, and the clear eyes carry the simple fear and joy of a small animal, unlike the procrastination and reluctance of the middle-aged man in "The Prophet". Everyone in the film has a distinct personality and complex clues. Although it is not as turbulent and gorgeous as Spanish movies, it allows you to have enough patience to observe how the moon is causing trouble, and treat the old-fashioned and lonely widow, the disabled and angry younger brother, and the selfishness. The greedy father and the jealous and wronged mother became a harmonious family. I always feel that the most brilliant family member is the a little confused grandfather. He sneaks around with five dogs, complains to his old friends that his son is stingy and does not pay for his granddaughter's marriage, and he feeds the dogs the food on the plate and is scolded by his daughter-in-law. , The dog ran into his daughter-in-law and the professor who didn’t have an affair at the end. The breakfast at the end of the film felt like he was full of grievances and grievances and the grandfather was about to sue the whole family. As a result, he said earnestly that he was old and no one heard what he said. Son, you must pay for your daughter to marry! (Looks like this)
Movies reflecting family life are China’s strengths, especially those hidden secrets between you and me, and the surging style between the corners of the eyes and the eyebrows, and the more people there are, the more lively it is. The most brilliant place is the dining table. , Mahjong and other venues or activities suitable for many people to enjoy together, I think there is no better understanding of the essence than Li Ang. "Wedding Banquet", "Pushing Hands", "Diet Men and Women" are full of life's dining tables, "Lust Caution" Undercurrents of mahjong, one look, one gesture, and one sentence of anger are all dramas. If the characteristics of each person and the relationship between each person are expressed in intricate shots, it will most test the director's skill. Li Ang plays a group drama. I have reached the realm of proficiency, and only Chinese people can understand the taste. The British director’s dinner table scenes are also very impressive. The impression of Hollywood is not deep. There was "Gosford Manor" before and the opening of "Little Sunshine" the year before last. The breakfast that shows the family's problems is also impressive.
I was reading Liang Shuming's book recently, including a speech he gave in Chengdu in 1937. His vision in the 1930s now looks very unique. He said, “China’s social structure has developed a strong sense of wealth on the one hand, and on the other hand it has cultivated the spirit of'the world is the public, the whole world is one family'... Chinese people grow to the world when they are young, and grow to the wealth when they are young. There is no group of people." When you put it in a Chinese movie, it is as small as the Xiangru in the bowl that the mother puts in the bowl of the son in "Day and Night in Tianshuiwei", and as large as the "Tianxia" written by the broken sword in "Hero". It is a true portrayal of the Chinese. "Home" is particularly important in the hearts of Chinese people. I personally feel that many movies have been criticized as empty and hypocritical, that is, the lack of "home". The protagonists have no background, no background, no family, and no people. How can the comprehensible formation factors of personality be convincing? Some people may think that these are unimportant, or a little pedantic, but a proper growth background or family environment explanation will omit the master’s public verbal statement: "I am a ****** kind of person", which makes people feel impatient. , So, why do we want to throw away our best and most brilliant places to cater to the so-called "blockbuster" needs?
Home is like the pizza of pizza. It is because of this unremarkable cake that it can carry so many wonderful fillings. Everyone’s character is a piece of very chewy sausage, the little things that are omnipresent in life. Glue them tightly like tomato sauce and salad dressing. Finally, the director made Italian music into fine cheese and sprinkled it gorgeously, and paired it with a refreshing wine like brother Cage. Take a bite on the ground, full of the taste of Sexy moon and sweaty home.
Another: I'm hungry.
