Love in the trilogy and the director of "Boyhood": Richard Linklater, this year's new film "Everybody Wants Some", like his previous works, will not disappoint you. I used to watch love in reverse order, and I still liked the last "Love Before Midnight" the most. It may have something to do with my own age and life stage. Love is in the trilogy. There are too many social topics and emotional details. I can't help but recommend these three movies about love. I hope that friends around me will not miss it. I have always thought that such a literary and ridiculous work is loved by the audience, but unfortunately there is no chance to be on the big stage. As a result, Richard Linklater produced a 12-year-old film in 2014. "Time", with a seemingly unfair, but with the momentum of rejecting public opinion, became a big winner in the awards season that year. After "Boyhood", Richard Linklater once again wrote and directed the film "Each One's Youth", trying to let the audience enjoy a feast of youth from the 1980s in 117 minutes. The entire film was described by the director as a super long carnival party, and I hope everyone who "participates" in it can enjoy it.
The earliest poster of the film, full of stacked cassettes, is called "That's What I'm Talking About". But soon, it was replaced by a group photo of the baseball team, and the name was changed to "Everybody Wants Some". The director officially stepped up to clarify that this new film is not a sequel to "Young and Frivolous" in 1993. In the film, except for the cassette tape when driving, most of the indoor scenes are still using the record player. The music of the 80s must be the key factor that allows the audience to fall into the memory in the first second of the movie. The film starts with the male protagonist: Jack, driving his "all possessions"-mainly record players and a large box of vinyl records, all the way from high to the university dormitory. After that, a few "friendly" seniors took the newcomer students for a drive together, and the five imitated popular singing vividly, bringing the spark of that era. Soon the timeline of the movie appeared one after another. It counted down from Thursday afternoon of the week to the next Monday, the new semester of the university. The start time of the first class was five days and four nights in total. And every night, this group of freshmen and old students keep partying and go clubbing. They traveled through disco bars, country cowboy clubs, punk nights, and masquerades. At the age of eighteen or nine years old, he can accept all openness, director Richard Linklater, in these few nights, he showed it vividly. Any music, dance, especially girls, can make this group of college students crazy.
Director: Richard Linklater’s movie is good because of the truthfulness and naturalness of the characters in his story. As he said, this movie is a comedy, but not an exaggeration, but a comedy in real life. Atmosphere. The whole movie comes from the idea he had in 2002, and in 1993's "Young and Crazy", he told the story of a high school student, which is a portrayal of his own high school life, and this time, what he wants to tell , Is his college life, and he himself, was also a member of the baseball team. Just like the line he put in in the movie: "We are playing baseball. I really don’t understand what other people are doing." , Real and cute, many years later, when I think of myself at the time, I will definitely "smile with my heart".
This "Everyone has their youth" tells the difference from the high school era to the college era, where this "New Level" came from. Director: Richard Linklater said that when a person leaves home and comes to the dormitory, your roommate is also your teammate. This kind of friendship is one of the classmates who went home every night in the previous high school and met at school. In the meantime, it is a completely different life experience and brotherhood. And the special thing, he used the lens to focus on the childish "race" between these young people. This kind of "competition" is hidden. It is hidden in the play and lessons of seniors for freshmen. Sports and the show off and competition of pick-up girls are a kind of rivalry between boys. Director: Richard Linklater felt that as a newcomer, the process of entering the dormitory group, especially in the first few days, that is, during the five days described in the movie, he was a newcomer from college, and she The most important beginning of friendship building. You will observe, and then slowly discover the differences between each person, some will become your best friends, some will not necessarily. In a group, there will always be a leader who pulls the wind, a leader of decathlon, and some weird fringe figures, etc. Some people play together, some people like their own space and have their own Privacy. Everyone is so different and strives to be a different self.
This movie is exactly about the story of baseball players, not about baseball. These big boys, who are usually not serious, were still in the locker room for the first time, and they saw the truth on the court the next second, but they ended up in a prank in the end. The only little sadness of the film also comes from this afternoon. After the three days of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, everyone gradually got acquainted, but someone was suddenly called away by the coach and never came back. News came later that he had concealed his age, and the school found out that he could only drop out. After a short silence, everyone came to the conclusion: It is not a sin to want to stay on the university campus. The behavior and experience of this buddy is a little sad. After all, who doesn't want to hide in the university and live a lifetime on campus. The film started on Thursday afternoon, and there was no morning for almost the next few days, because every night before yesterday, everyone drank and picked up girls until late, and every day started from lunch or afternoon until the week. In the early hours of the morning, the actor: Jack, finally chased his goddess: Beverly. In the morning, the two returned to the dormitory, and after changing their clothes, it was Monday morning. There were only a few hours left before the start of the first class at the university. In the state of loading during the university career, before starting classes, the life of the university has already begun from the moment you step into the dormitory. And people around you keep telling you that the wonder of college life is that you will spend these four years to find yourself. What you like, what you want to do, what kind of person you want to be, including deciding your own future.
Director: Richard Linklater said that he used to think that his life was to play baseball. If he could, he would play until the last day of his career. Unfortunately, due to physical reasons, he interrupted his baseball career in college. Fortunately, he also took drama-related courses at that time and gradually transitioned to another world of interest. And he said that when you can no longer play baseball, that day is the moment when an athlete truly grows up. You have to start to face a new life, a real life, this is a cruel thing. Fortunately, this "Everyone Has His Youth" does not talk about such a heavy topic. On the theme of finding himself, the director only used the male protagonist: Jack’s weekend gave us a head start, and there will be infinite joy, beauty and future in the future, waiting for him for the next four years. And the finishing touch of the film is at the end of the film. After the class started, a plump, gray-haired professor walked into the classroom and wrote a well-known saying on the blackboard. Then, the actor and his teammates at the next table went to sleep together at the desk, and the film ended here. You will definitely "smile with a knowing smile" again. This is not everyone's college life. Classes are for sleeping, and after class is for playing. What really makes you find yourself may not be in the classroom, but in life, and the same is true in the future.
Another memorable part of the film is the selection of rookie actors, plus jeans, sunglasses and mustaches from the 1980s. That is to say, the vision is too strong, and each character has its own characteristics and is never blind. Up to now, in the interview where the actors took off their makeup, Xiao Xuan'er couldn't be right for a long time. The film is as written on the poster: To those, short but eternal good times. In this crazy weekend of the film, making friends, playing baseball, chasing girls, and talking about the future are full of unlimited possibilities for youth. The most free time in your life is here, Everybody Wants Some!
Associated music: Rock band Van Halen, 1980 record: Women and children first. Related movie: "Youth and Frolic", Matthew McConaughey was still playing the appearance of a high school student, you shouldn't miss it.
