Another typical loser collection of American independent films. The male protagonist Salmon, 32 years old, even went into the supermarket to buy a fresh-keeping bag and ran out to ask his sister-in-law for money, went to work in a photocopying shop, and worked diligently to reshape the client's resume, business card, and CD-ROM. I got fired when the banknotes in the drawer were over-plasticized. I went to my sister-in-law's house to help take care of the child, and was tortured to the point of running into the street with a bath towel, and finally showed her butt. Salmon looks like a weird person, he is habitually hesitant to speak, and his personality is dull. Before he officially appeared, he showed his typical loser image in the first 4 minutes.
He couldn't even take care of the child, and the sister-in-law couldn't stand it, so she told him to leave. Salmon actually said that he didn't even have the money to buy a bus ticket or rent a house, so he couldn't go anywhere, so he had to stay here. I think this scene is relatively fake - the two children have already shown the image of the devil king at the beginning, and the mother is also there, but here the mother acts as if the sons are all angels; Salmon's excuse for not leaving is also very far-fetched- - Of course, you can interpret him as an excuse to stay behind to take care of the brother and sister-in-law.
Luckily, Salmon quickly started a new job - I can't stand those two fiends, too much - disguised as a mascot on the highway to hand out flyers for a run-down company.
The streamlined Kabluey all over blue - I suspect it's inspired by the super invincible cute and deeply depressed in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Marvin, who is suffering from illness, also has a big head shrugged on a small body - standing in front of the vast deserted valley, the visual effect is very beautiful, good enough to make people forget to send pie in this place where birds don't lay eggs. Logical possibilities for leaflets. The sky is huge and empty, with only yellow and green rice fields, sky blue Kabluey, and a few pink leaflets blown away by the wind.
Unsurprisingly, in a setting like this, salmon encounters all sorts of people driving by sporadically - I'm expecting weirdos with different hobbies, and Salmon collides with them and collides with all kinds of sparks. By the way, I realized my own set of life philosophy - but I was wrong, these people are basically normal, and they don't account for much of the scene, except for the hysterical fat woman.
This film unexpectedly didn't put too much ink on this scene, at least salmon didn't show much change here. But through salmon's encounter with a weird supermarket salesperson, the progress of his relationship with his two little nephews, and the discovery of the fact that his sister-in-law was having an affair, a series of bland but strange things made the film finally come to an end. At the end of the film, the older brother comes back from Iraq - the sister-in-law has a husband, the nephew has a father, and the family is reunited. But Salmon just disappeared without explaining his whereabouts. The last scene made me feel sad - my brother's family of four hugged at the door, and Salmon sat alone at the other end of the aisle, he was still so lonely. The camera turns again, the setting sun shines on the empty chair, and Salmon is gone, grief-stricken by the nephew who had previously threatened to kill him. At this time, Salmon's image reached the highest point - like an angel, after going through the difficulties for the family, he left quietly.
This movie could actually be better. Now this version feels too rushed to me, and the director has a lot of intentions that are too late to express. This geeky movie has extraordinary ambitions, trying to cover such major issues as the Iraq war, family crisis, parenting, and personal search for self-worth, and ultimately ends up being overwhelmed.
