I watched this movie a few months ago, I wanted to write a film review, but my writing style is like a person with constipation all the
time
. At the beginning of the song tom waits,
the first thing Jockey Full Of Bourbon did after watching the movie was to get to the beginning and listen to this song for a long time.
After that, I learned about tom waits. This person
seemed to have received high praise.
Some people say that his songs are sung with his unique voice immersed in tobacco and alcohol. There is an indescribable taste that makes people more addicted to listening.
I don’t think that this person’s voice is really hoarse. That’s true.
I don’t know much about music genres, but after listening to rock or something for a long time, it’s not bad to listen to his slow wailing occasionally
. The story of the film is quite simple.
Three people who have nothing to do with each other, for some reason, I met Together, and then separated and went
back to each
house , each looking for a sense of alienation from each mother . Many people like to use this word when talking about the film of Jamusch.
I think he is emphasizing the uniqueness of each person. , Each person’s character, each person’s characteristics, these are things that have been settled, not something that is easy to change.
In contrast to those common movies, most of them emphasize the impact of something on the individual, as if only in this way can it be The turning point of the film can make the film full of drama.
For example: a kind of vulgar plot is that an important person of the protagonist dies, stimulates his emotions and becomes another person. . .
In this film, Jamux did the opposite.
Jack, Zack, and Bob met
three people who followed their own rules
. Something happened. After they were done, they went their own way.
In the last scene of the film, Jack and Zack walked in their own direction without looking back.
PS: I recently saw Uniqlo release a set of T-shirts with the theme of Jamush. One of them has this picture on the chest. I think the font of Down by Law he made is too big and it’s not good to look
at. At the beginning of the film, he used a very simple method to explain the two of Jack and Zack. Bob also appeared by the way, Robert Bernini. When
Zack quarreled with his girlfriend, he just sat there until his girlfriend was about to throw out his boots. He stopped and said, don’t throw the shoes
and fight between them. Zack suddenly realized The relationship between the two cannot be repaired.
In many cases, the dispute or whatever, we always have to find a way to recover, always imagine the possibility of focusing on the good, it may be just a small thing, let us Understand that if it breaks, it is broken. Throw it away and throw it away.
Zack doesn’t make any effort anymore. He goes out by himself, picks up his shoes, puts them on and walks away.
He finds two boots on the street and sits down and puts on his feet. Then I wiped it. The director gave a longer shot
here to explain . I always feel that these boots will become an important clue to the film.
Maybe Zack is a childhood shadow or unforgettable. ah memories and these boots are related to
the results, it seems never mentioned behind these boots up
then, met in prison
I suddenly thought, it is not to the same two people are behind a framed
will not be their After going through hardships and obstacles to find out this man behind the scenes, and then bring him to justice, of
course not, or it will become a Hollywood blockbuster. . .
Just like this, Jia Muxu slowly told this story with a strong personal style.
Bob’s addition made this gunpowder prison quickly reversed the style.
But Bob’s reason for imprisonment is more engaging, here it is. Less spoilers
Then, the three people’s escape was as easy as playing with
Andy, Michael, and these people are
probably blown up when they see it. I think the next plot may have something to do with the name Down by Law. Okay, so I expected that they might be arrested by the almighty police uncle. The
result was that
after I thought more about it, the scene in the abandoned hut in the wild surprised me. Isn’t this the same as in the prison? Pattern? And also three prisons like sleeping on bunk beds
so once again I want more, I guess this small room is great policeman deliberately built on here, it is to arrest escaped prisoners
then In the middle of the night, there will be a big alarm bell, and the three of them are arrested again.
This is the Down by Law I understand. . . .
Alas, why do I always rely on the plot of a blockbuster movie. .
Then the story develops unhurriedly. The
cheerful Bob finds his own,
Jack and Zack bid farewell to Bob,
and then walks two paths
, like two straight lines,
starting after a certain point in time and space meets. Extending in different directions
and a wordy sentence at the end, the last shot of the film is really great,
almost as good as the opening song.
These two places are the highlights of the film.
