These American cruel youths, Brick didn't miss a single one. Brain said, Lunch is a lot of things, Lunch is difficut. A lunch has become so complicated, the words in the mouth of the supporting role seem to be an understatement, until the end, but in fact may be the soul of the background of the whole movie. The locker as the information transmission station, the lunch that reveals the character’s recent social status, the weird and silent makeup party, and the drama club that circulates through the scene with weird sounds-these originally ordinary things are connected in series to organize the opening of the movie. At the same time, he was given a complex and mysterious color, and finally secretly constructed the psychic world of the male protagonist.
From this point of view, Brick's opening is so stunning, skilled, well-controlled, mysterious and suffocating, and even has a temperament that even catches up with Kubrick in his later years. What’s worth playing with is that in this crime thriller movie, the setting of the scene’s tone has little to do with the plot. Since almost every shot has the male protagonist Brendan roaming, all the movie’s language is ultimately Written on the protagonist. A somewhat dull, quiet, weird, and introverted teenager, with quick thinking, calmly like a pool of stagnant water, and when emotions are thrown in, it arouses the will to change his life. Brick, on the surface alluding to drugs, actually means the original meaning. A brick is square and square, with horns and horns, and is firm and silent. Brick=Brendan.
It’s a pity that this is a debut work after all. Even if the young Rian Johnson spends another five years to modify the script, he may still be unable to express a fascinating youth image and a well-organized section in the current film language. Revolving crime plot. Although in the first half of the movie, while showing Brendan's appearance, he has been painstakingly ambushing the grass snake gray line, but in the second half, he still can't reach the effect of a thousand miles of volts and burst at a moment. On the final court, Rian Johnson had no choice but to let Brendan and Laura tell the audience most of the plot in the form of a running ledger like movie commentators. He seemed unable to use more plot and lens language to express things.
Even so, the tone of the whole movie has not changed in the 9/10 chapters. The quiet, calm, and flowing water-like texture can make people get a very comfortable viewing experience. Interestingly, in addition to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the protagonist who has become popular in American independent film circles in recent years, he is also fortunate to see many familiar faces in American dramas. The immature Nora Zehetner in OC has become mature and compelling. With a smile, it's rare to see the youthfulness of the past, and Emilie de Ravin took advantage of Lost's gap to come and mix with Brick, but he still has the same sad face as Claie in the TV series.
