In fact, Benjamin Button is a very normal person in his bones, but everyone is not used to it. The Sphinx's riddle is reversed: What is the creature with three legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and four legs at night? I guess Oedipus was blinded. This shows that human beings are accustomed to observing the same kind after unifying their appearance age and mental age, and they are often overwhelmed when the reverse situation occurs. Just like Forrest Gump, everyone always thinks that such a rich big man is a smart person, but in fact he is a mentally handicapped tendon. This kind of misunderstanding is not only outside the screen, but the characters in the film, the old people in the nursing home, are doing the same thing. I always feel that this guy will grow old and die soon. Child Barton's face was melancholy. Because he has no past, it is very disadvantageous to have no memories. So the last escape was right. He got on the boat, went to prostitutes, seduced other people's wives, and still couldn't forget the little girl. When he was "young", he was more free and easy than the piano player at sea, but after experiencing a complicated life, he was assimilated by the world and learned the sophistication, so he refused to be a father to his children while shrinking—"I don't want you Taking care of two people" is actually afraid that the family will be criticized as a monster. ——Look, at this point, do you think this movie is like a CCTV soap opera?
A lot of people do compare Forrest Gump to this movie. Totally not the same thing. Friends who have read Forrest Gump's original novel should remember that it is a satirical novel that uses atypical characters to view the modern history of the United States. In addition to irony, the film adds inspirational elements, showing the division and harmony of personal destiny and national destiny. Patton has a bit of historical background in it, but it's just embellishment.
Finally, let's talk about the editing. It's too bad. It has to jump around and tell the story. Every once in a while, the old lady will hold her breath for a while, and her daughter will panic for a while, which is more tacky than Titanic. The outside keeps telling you that the hurricane is coming, and finally Hurricane Katrina really rolled the flood and washed away the big clock that was left in the warehouse and could run backwards - the film has always tried to highlight the southern characteristics, but it is not as good as The regional film "Frozen" has a comfortable daily rhythm, and people who have done it for too long are constantly eating rice. What's more terrifying is that because the film was so peaceful, countless people wondered which 7 times they were struck by lightning, and what the hell is a hummingbird. Occasionally, the director's willfulness is a distraction.
