This film is probably difficult to be sought after by the general public. The plot of "white trash grows up in confusion" has long been on the market. In the anti-routine era, the sensationalism in the second half of the film is easy to make people feel old; and the American black humor and bad stalks throughout, not everyone wants to appreciate.
However, probably any audience familiar with Pete Davidson can't say anything harsh about it. The so-called semi-autobiographical film is actually more like Pete's own growth documentary. The male protagonist who swaggered through the city with dark circles was immersed in the smoke of the leaves from morning to night; messed up with a group of innocent hairies, talking about boundless dreams, but did not dare to be responsible for anyone and things; hiding in his mother Escape from reality in his basement and become hysterical towards anyone who tries to persuade him-this is the Pete Davidson we know. He is confused, chaotic, absurd, and fragile. He has made up his sacrificed father as a joke on his lips for ten years, always messing up everything but allowing everyone to take the initiative or be forced to forgive him.
And the fictitious half, I would like to understand it as Pete's missing dream, a stepfather like Ray. The most ordinary and ordinary old man has all the vulgar hobbies of middle-aged and old people. This man would take him to a boring baseball game, full of clichés in his embarrassing courtesy, and attack his flaws mercilessly. But this man would also sit down with him to drink and chat, support his deviant pursuits in his own way, and teach him the weight of growth and responsibility.
The two-hour movie is probably Pete's large-scale deconstruction of himself. Expose all the flaws and weaknesses to the screen, and piece together the fragmented details. He said in the interview that this is a love letter dedicated to his mother. But in my opinion, this is more like a journey of self-healing and redemption. All the obsessions that cannot be let go, the problems that cannot be solved, the shadows that run through the growth process... Write it down, perform it, fill regrets in the virtual world, and let go of the knots, which is probably the most ideal way to turn the story. .
This is a story that doesn't break away from the routine, but I am still damned moved. Maybe it's because of the overflowing sincerity, or it's because I will always lack resistance to Pete's fragile and harmless qualities.
Boys are growing up, boys want to be happy every day.
PS Bill Burr and P. Davidson are really good for being a family! ! You can also form an Anti Louis CK League if you don't become a stepfather and son! ! Don't you really think about it? ? ?
