What is human nature? Who doesn't wear a mask of disguise all day long?
What exactly is life? Who dares to say that he truly lives as he pleases?
I have never written a film review, life experience, depth of thought, level of writing, all kinds of Taoism are not enough, and the various meanings and connotations of the film are not my turn to comment on.
Suffice it to say, Lebster's final monologue really shocked me.
I used to be vague about the word "midlife crisis" and had no concept. After reading "American Beauty", I began to realize how cruel the word "middle age" is.
It turns out that when we have passed the rebelliousness of adolescence and the hesitation of young people, we will not usher in a calm and calm year of "no confusion". We will be polished by time and reality into an empty, numb and gradually aging body.
Thinking about it makes me shudder. . .
On the other hand, looking at all kinds of middle-aged people around me, I can't help but wonder what kind of middle-aged encounters they have that are difficult to tell others?
In the process of watching the film, I always have a question, why is it called "American Beauty"? The protagonist is not the beautiful Angela, nor is it Janie, is it a rose? K. Flowers are synonymous with beauty.
The film is telling us about the living conditions of the American middle class,
"to discover the beauty of life", which may be the director's subtext.
Everything is so beautiful, but in the face of the powerful reality, we are like the plastic bag in Ricky's video that flutters in the wind, with no direction, no support, we can only go with the flow and become subjective. self.
I have to say that the image of plastic bags is very powerful, and it is no wonder that Director Peng wants to pay tribute to it.
