What a gentle film "Benjamin Button" is, for David Fincher, a member of the Hollywood Middle-aged Directors Guild who is accustomed to making crime movies and familiar with visual violence, no one will believe it. In "The Seven Deadly Sins", he would spend two years recording the life of an outcast named Benjamin. No one believes in using violence and fists to interpret the angry and unyielding old man in "The Seven Deadly Sins". Angry youth will talk to the audience about magic, philosophy and life. However, the ambiguous relationship between the director and the film has always been difficult to explain. Who would believe that Wu Yusen would play with fire, Tsui Hark would refine pheromones, and Chen Kaige would have been extremely boring? But I believe that a movie will more or less have a projection of the director’s heart, so I saw the David Fincher projected from "Benjamin Button", some of the soft texture in the depths of his angry heart, this used to be in his own movies A bearded man filled with depressive aura. In this movie, he reveals his sincerity to life, his fascination with the grand and beautiful past, the men of all colors he met, the women who have been in bed or have never been in bed. , And the romance, ups and downs, years and love when I was with them. So with such gentleness, in 2008 AD, a generation of indignation led David Fincher to suck his fingers and photographed "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."
Benjamin Button is a person whose life and ordinary people are driving backwards, a baby who was abandoned as a freak at birth, but in fact, when we look back on his life experience, we will find that he is rejuvenated with a little magical color. He is not much different from our lives. A father who abandons him but regrets, an adoptive mother who loves him as her own, a sailor friend who takes him to the kiln, and one who happened in his "childhood" but stayed with him for a lifetime. The encounter, a love in a hotel if there is no such thing as a love, a lover who can’t grow old by holding his hand, the rest of the days are as plain as water, even in the dangerous and special periods of World War II, it is only expressing the various encounters of life. . His lifeline against the current of pure biological signs only brought us a novel narrative carrier. In fact, it did not bring him a unique and legendary life-he is a person who does not understand magic. Pure Muggle, and did not own the legendary Lord of the Rings, and never got into the mysterious ancient wardrobe in childhood-only the clock placed in the opposite direction from the beginning and the end of the film is exclusive to Benjamin Button’s own, but the traces of his body that flowed by time, not the years, his ignorance made him even rely on a diary and an old man’s dying narrative to let people know his existence. A daughter knows her real father.
Because of the unforgettable biographies of magical characters such as "The Pianist on the Sea" and "Big Fish", "Benjamin Button" gave me the warm feeling of deja vu. But in any case, the fourteen nominations in Hollywood affirmed David Fincher's attempt to be gentle, and also proved his narrative hard work and bravery. Whether you have been struck by lightning or tried to cross the English Channel, whether you are a sailor or an artist, a dancer or a mother, we are all flowing in the river of time, we meet, parting, and witness the joys and sorrows that emerge from the world. , And then wait for a hummingbird with a heartbeat of 2,400 beats per minute to take away your soul. This image with the style of Indian mythology is very bright, making death less fearful in an instant. This also reminds me of the young and handsome, sunny Brad Pitt's exposition in "The Love of the River" that life is like a quietly flowing river. As for the upstreamers, in fact, just like us, although they have more difficulties and discomforts, they also appreciate the same scenery along the way.
