speaking, I am disappointed that the purpose is too strong, and the preaching taste is too strong. From the beginning of the passage, I guessed what the situation was about this film, and then I kept confirming my guess, resulting in this film until the end that there is nothing to shine in my eyes. And they kept saying, wow, the couple are so energetic, we can remember how we were old when we were old, and in the end, the self-salvation set of
perspectives is single and lacks contrast. As a middle-aged person, the director locked the middle-aged perspective as the protagonist, but the consequence of doing so is that when we watch the young couple in the film, especially jamie, we use the eyes of a middle-aged (mature person). If you go to see it, you will naturally feel uncomfortable and feel that they are stupid. This lack of a good portrayal of them, resulting in their image is very one-sided.
The consequence is that some transitions and arguments are very blunt. It seems to be done for the sake of doing, and happened for the sake of happening. It is undeniable that the director’s language skills are very strong, but when I watched it, I felt that I was suffering. It was not like watching crazy 20 years. Francis Ha’s sense of identity, the kind of spiritual communion, the kind of spiritual empowerment.
Later, the essential differences in the documentary, the sense of accomplishment and so on, and what jamie's conspiracy is used as a clue motivation, I find it very ridiculous. Finally, the cross-editing shots at the party were even more boring and absurd.
In my opinion, the director's film once again lost his aura and fell into a stubborn and rigid self-narcissism. Even the colorful New York, the hard performance of the actors and the excellent music taste as always can not save the overall abnormality.
Perhaps as said in the film, like Josh, the director made this film to make you feel uncomfortable, for the midlife crisis and the like. But as my father-in-law said, I can only feel bored (bad) as an audience. I have also had a similar experience. I made a film and showed it to others that it was bad. I have to defend it. Anyway, Josh finally figured out to cut it. Why couldn't the director figure it out?
But I still have confidence in the director, I am looking forward to his Mistress America
