I have never seen a child who does not want to be an astronaut when he grows up, but I have seen a child who does not grow up. The old face is as loose as a buttocks, the waist fat is as big as a state, and the toenails are so ugly as to dig into the flesh. They suffer from fecal incontinence, varicose veins, and can't get up without lubricant. He was yelling about Russians and Japanese, and his actions were as slow as being beaten by frost. When a stomach disease advertisement was shown on TV, we would all be told to keep quiet, because they wanted to listen carefully. But they can't obey their age. Many times they punch in the air, and they may happen to hit something.
The Eastwood hero will probably always be one of the many ordinary faces that we will not pay attention to. His dignity and feelings are private and not exposed. When he was young, he lived on the screen as a hero in the film directed by Leone, right and wrong, good and evil, black and white, straight and straight, all in his mind are incomprehensible binary oppositions. Under his own lens, the characters are old and firm, although they are always shrouded in the shadows of the past, they recognize the truth of life, but the edges and corners have not been chipped away. Director Renoir’s famous saying is, "A film creator only makes one film in his life, and the rest of the works are just the annotations of this film, and the theme is just an extension of this film." I agree with this sentence in the dimension of Eastwood movies. Although it is not clear which particular movie belongs to him, it is certain that this movie is definitely not on the candidate list.
Frank Cowen said that he had waited forty years to get this opportunity, but the depth of this time has no real feeling under the logic of typology. Since four old men are sent to space within three weeks, they can be changed 92 hours before the flight. In the end, the members will be launched, so what is the difference if the dream is delayed? Other logics are even more untenable. How could an old astronaut who failed the physiological test be sent with confidence? How could the general's confession only appear after he has sent people up? These key points to advance the plot are all thrilling, completely trifling, and you can watch them with popcorn.
"Eleven Arhats", "Inception" and even "Uncle Drew" have the same routine as "Space Cowboy". The first part recruits companions, the middle part prepares, and the latter part solves problems. This film is not only a genre movie, the author The expression is still very simple, at least much boring than many Eastwood's later works. It is a comedy but not too funny, it is an adventure but not too exciting, it is a technological thriller but not very imaginative. It also takes the elderly as the protagonist. Intergenerational contradictions, family contradictions, social contradictions, and values contradictions do not exist in this film directed by Clint Eastwood. On the contrary, not only the characters are elderly but Children do not matter, most character settings still have almost monotonous functionality and lack depth. In terms of empathy mechanism, it is as vulgar as the touches that "bucket list" movies can create. Most of people's expectations are still young adventures and experiences, distant and romantic, and everyone is anxious out of fear of extinction. Achieve, give it various meanings so that you feel good about yourself.
