Obviously, the plot of this film is a bit too imaginative, it only tells the journey, only the story, it is not real enough, it is too dreamy. But I'm here to write good reviews.
In Indian movies, many stories come from slums, and this one is no exception. It can be seen from Aja's monologue as a child. Obviously, the male protagonist feels good about himself and has a kind of glory in it. From Aja to the penitentiary to tell a story to three delinquent teenagers, the story goes through a series of journeys back to the end: education. It can be said that Ajia can have such a journey and life completely inseparable from the words and deeds of his great mother. Obviously, education is very important in India, and it is often reflected in movies.
From Aja's love of IKEA design as a child to growing up on adventures through IKEA cabinets, the IKEA showroom also carries one of the film's main themes: meeting a girl and marrying her home.
Aja is looking for a home for her mother at IKEA: a decorative bottle with ashes, looking up at the girl who is listening to the IKEA employee introducing the items in the distance, the camera zooms in, and we all know: the heroine is here.
I also fell in love with this girl the first time I saw it: Erin Moriarty.
I knew from the moment she opened her mouth that this girl I had met before was so unique and attractive. The feeling of heartbeat will be like Aja, the first date is so perfect. Aja showed his skills to all the boys who didn't know how to strike up a conversation, and the skills did not show any traces. He also specially showed the noun of sand table deduction, and also specially advertised for IKEA (again): not only buying designs, the most important thing still in it.
Ajia rushed straight into the living room, threw the bag in his hand on the chair beside the dining table as if he had arrived home, and hurriedly said to the girl, "honey, I'm sorry, I'm late from get off work. The girl who looked at the picture description in the model room opened her eyes first, her doubtful eyes and thin and beautiful face were telling, who are you and what are you talking about? Then Aja's voice landed, and the beautiful girl narrowed her eyes again, perfectly interpreting the expression change of doubt. Aja obviously saw the girl's expression like a fish swimming in the viewing cabinet, and said, don't be angry, I'll cook dinner. The girl's eyes narrowed like a newborn crescent moon. Ajia is unrelenting, I am the chef, and it is guaranteed to be delicious. Seeing that there was no response from the girl, he looked at the furniture in the room to the left and the curtains of the window to the right. In the process of turning his head, he turned his head with some hatred: Why don't you understand?
Aja used his trump card, shook his head and smiled, I'm sorry, I have to do a sand table deduction before buying. The girl raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and at the same time her squinted eyes grew again, like staring at the elk that suddenly appeared in the forest. She was a little surprised but immediately calmed down, smiling and nodding symbolically. The girl turned around and shook her head and said softly, OK, and walked away like strangers (they were strangers in the first place). The complacent Aja gave a wicked smile.
He persevered and rushed into another living room, where the girl was sitting on a wooden yellow chair reading a book. Aja went to look at the cushions on the blue sofa and opened his mouth without giving any reason: honey, where are my car keys? Didn't find it, turned to the girl who looked like his wife and said, did you see it? At this moment, the girl is like a helpless ant who has not found food, her eyes are down and said, are you here again? stared at Aja.
The girl sat on the green three-person sofa and continued to read quietly. Ajia sat beside her, and the sofa shook like a crocodile that was full and settled down.
"The boss is driving me crazy."
Note, here comes the key point: the girl responds to Aja. Honey, are you stressed out? Only interesting girls will talk to you next, which proves at least two things: one is that the girl is an interesting person, and the other is that you are not wrong. Aja lowered his head and looked at the carpet in the distance, his face that had been pretending to be gloomy quickly expanded, and the evil smile showed again.
They played the passerby by the way, and Ajia said to the man who was sitting on the bed flipping the book, looked at his temporary wife and said, how could you and my brother do such a thing? ! Passers-by were stunned, no, I'm not your brother. The wife said frankly, I'm in love with your brother, and we're going to Guatemala. Aja shook his head angrily, pointed at his wife and said, no! The wife, however, was like a deliberately irritating child who spread her hands to indicate that it was the case.
I liked this passage very much, and it was drawn like a practice pen.
The last time I saw Erin Moriarty turned out to be in the first season of True Detective, where she played Woody Harrelson's teenage rebellious daughter.
But this still doesn't affect my affection for her, on the contrary, it increases. Her voice is unforgettable, like adding a delicate line to a one-centimeter-long channel line. She's kind of like my Brooklyn heroine.
Since then, Aja has been shipped to the UK from a wardrobe where he may have lived at an IKEA in Paris for less than midnight. The British police officer showed off his unique and tongue-in-cheek sense of humour, with a solo dance along the way. Of course, in the face of the refugee tide, the attitudes of European countries are still different, and the UK and Spain have also made a difference in this matter, which is part of the comedy.
I took a private jet from Spain to Rome, Italy . This time I met a movie star.
From Rome, he took the money that the movie star helped him to earn, and flew to the sea in a hot air balloon.
Eventually he reached Libya . He used all his money to help refugees achieve their ideals. Helping others is an important way to achieve happiness.
Aja finally chose to become a teacher.
The stories he tells are like an adult adventure, more like an adult fairy tale. Although there are some exaggerations and jokes, it will not affect our perception at all. In the end, Aja finally found the life he likes. The appearance of the heroine is naturally too fairy tale, at least I don't believe it, but it may be what the audience wants to see.
The film combines Indian singing and dancing with European business styles. The heroine who collided with the two elements turned out to be an American. It also reminds me of "The Daydream" , the process of chasing dreams is a hopeful move forward, although this film is a little weaker in chasing dreams, because Aja just wants to go to Paris to pick up girls!
So, finally the police asked Aja, is the story you told true?
In general, Aja said.
We no longer need to care whether the film is real or exaggerated, because in the aftertaste after the end, we will feel the change and power brought by education, and the fearlessness and calmness brought by adventure.
