The DreamWorks commercial blockbuster "Cat and Mouse", directed by Steven Spielberg, was released on Christmas Day in 2002 in the United States. The main cast of this film is Tom Hanks and Leonardo, the lavish cast, the great director in the history of cinema, and it does not disappoint.
In this film, the problems of family education and the impact on children after the divorce of both parents made me ponder.
Before commenting on this film, although it is very old-fashioned, I still want to introduce the great director of the history of cinema - Piersberg. Although Piersberg's style can be described as ever-changing, the praise is as always. He can master the style of sci-fi movies fluently - "Alien ET", "Ready Player One", and he can arrange the scenes of action-adventure movies with ease - "Indiana Jones", "Jurassic Park", can Arrange the storyline of the thriller movies to be ups and downs and fascinating - "Jaws", "Munich", and you can also embed the taste of art in the film - "Syndra's List", "Saving the Privates" Ryan", as a commercial film, Spielberg's performance in "The Game of Cat and Mouse" is not very good (compared to his previous level in 2002), but he reveals some characteristics of human nature, which deeply impressed me. Feeling.
Although "Cat and Mouse" was quite interesting in terms of story content and was a fairly new crime movie at the time, it was revealed to the audience at the beginning that the protagonist would eventually be caught - which is very important to the audience. Speaking of knowing the ending at the very beginning of the story, I lost a considerable part of my interest. "Cat and Mouse Game" thinks that it is very sure about its storyline. In terms of time, most of the time of the camera is to shoot the protagonist Leonardo. During the repeated arrests, FBI Tom Hanks still did not Being able to catch the criminal, this deliberately arranged chase plot, makes the film very unreal. The comforting camera cuts and Leonardo's stunning acting are more interesting than the storyline.
As a commercial film, "Cat and Mouse" is a bit too dramatic in terms of the arrangement of the storyline, but the profound thoughtfulness of the film is deeply conveyed to the audience. In the first half of the movie, 1. Leonardo's father chose to deceive him to get a suit; 2. The mother promised her son to quit cigarettes, but was upset because the family went bankrupt, and was on the way to take her son to school in the car Smoking again; 3. Before the divorce, the mother had a tryst with another man at home and was discovered by the son; 4. When the divorced, let the child choose which side of the parents; These are really bad, I can't help but feel a few Fan. ①Father's failure to set a good example is a major failure in family education. Even if the family encounters great difficulties, as a man, he should do his best to bear it. Moreover, he should not show such a deceitful face in front of his son. . ②The mother said that if she wants to quit smoking, she should quit. Smoking is okay, but at least you pretend not to smoke in front of the child, and it is not good to show the appearance of no commitment in front of the son. ③ Disloyalty to the family is a disgrace - disgrace, it is a really disgraceful performance, but the mother is still found in front of her son, it is really disgraceful. ④The child does not want to choose either parent. It is a painful choice for a 17-year-old boy to choose which parent to raise.
Although there is an aspect of poor education in the film, there is also an aspect that reflects the father's kindness and humanity and good education. After Leonardo pretended to be a teacher and took the teacher's place for a whole week of class, the father and mother were called to the office, the father didn't blame Leonardo for what he did, I think it was more because the father believed in the son, he believed There are certain reasons for his son's strange behavior, and he also believes that he cannot stop his son, who has his own freedom. Many parents may preach to their sons and scold their sons in such a situation, but I feel that everyone has their own characteristics, and their sons are not themselves, but an independent existence, you Preaching to it is like your father preaching to you at your age, and it has little effect. Why not study here and stop this historic cycle? In addition, the father knew from the beginning that Leonardo was doing illegal things to get money. On the two occasions when Leonardo met his father, the father said the same sentence at the end-some place exotic? He knew that his son had to go to a different place every time for a sense of "escape", but He didn't stop Leonardo from going anywhere, and he couldn't stop him from going anywhere. In fact, the father thought in his heart that his son was still a good one -- some kind of goodness, even if the son is making mistakes now, it doesn't mean He is bad. Here, I would like to quote Mr. Jin Yucheng's sentence, "Man itself is a very complicated thing", I think this sentence is precisely reflected here, at the same time, the father never gave up on the son like this The lines are the same - "If you were a father, you'd know, I would never give up my son". So, in the two meetings, the father never blamed his son or gave up on him, more like It is a metaphorical guide to guide the son to live in a place.
