The film produced in 2005, originally called The Squid and the Whale in English, directed by Noah Baumbach, watch Netflix. This is Noah’s third film, the first is New York in 2014, hahaha, and the second is in 2019 'S marriage story,
The third part is this one.
Noah himself was born in an art house, and his films often outline autobiographical colors, as well as niche, independent, and New York. Squid and whale, the literal translation is like this. The story describes the process of a middle-class high-end family breaking up. In fact, there are already many problems. Compared with the marriage story, Noah in 2005 focuses more on children than on the quarrel between husband and wife. Dad He is a literary writer who has no ambitions in the literary world, and his mother is a rising literary star waiting to be revealed. His father pulls through his low self-esteem, and his mother has an affair because he can't find satisfaction in the relationship between the sexes.
Watching this movie will be more discouraged than a marriage story. The heroine of the marriage story always hides her desire and loses herself because of marriage. She cooperates with her husband, but the parents who are in the family love are more deeply trapped in a kind of chaos, and the father is proud and complacent. But gradually there is no stage, the mother's chaotic sexual relationship, the child is also groping his own orientation and life, and there is a lost cat.
The tennis match represents the disharmonious relationship of the family. Both adults want to win, but one of them always loses. The child is flabbergasted and at a loss. I think all families who have had divorce points and grown-up children will see it. In the end, my mother and the tennis coach were the biggest irony to my father. My father always felt that the coach’s lifestyle was not enough. He kept asking the youngest son about his future life, but he had already imagined it. In the end, it was the youngest son who cried and said that he should not be like a father.
The eldest son is played by Jesse Eisenberg, who later became popular. In the play is a teenager who starts dating. He rejects his mother and asks his father's opinion about the girl. But when he is interviewed by a psychologist because of plagiarism, he thinks that the happy memories are brought by his mother. When he went to watch the whales, perhaps he loved his mother deeply but was unwilling to face the fact that the family was broken, although when everything happened, he always asked the question of the distribution of property very calmly, and the two children cooperated with their parents' custody. They accept the system of distribution of power, but they can only understand some fragments that seem to be the truth from the side. The younger son drank and wiped his semen everywhere. The older son also mutated in some strange way. The parents blamed each other, and finally the younger son cried. , As long as the things that I want to do are my father’s days, I can’t do it with my mother.
How to piece together and find a direction in the brokenness? This film is very real to shoot everything, there are not beautiful and there are beautiful parts, there are more unbeautiful places, but it is closer to life.
recommend. Thank you Netflix for buying this one.
