Yesterday morning, the 90th Oscars were held as scheduled. My favorite "Three Billboards" missed the best picture, and "The Shape of Water" won four awards: best picture, best director, best art direction and best film. Good soundtrack, become the biggest winner.
Oscar's best actress Frances McDormand married the older brother of the Coen brothers in her early years, so many fans dubbed her "Sister Cohen", but I think she herself is probably not happy, after all, this is just her In one of the roles in life, what she wants to be is herself, not someone's wife or someone's mother. This time, she and Sam Rockwell won the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor for "Three Billboards".
Previously, she also won the Golden Globe Award for this film, the British Academy of Film, and successfully completed the three-award Grand Slam.
In addition, the defending king of the dog, Gary Oldman, finally won the best actor for "Darkest Hour". This is his first time winning the award. He has acted in countless classic movies, such as "Batman: The Dark Knight" "" This killer is not too cold", "Hambani", "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", "The Fifth Element" and so on. When acting, he habitually hides behind the characters, weakening his own characteristics, and most of the time people don't recognize him.
I am writing this article today mainly to think about the movie "Three Billboards" that I like Amway. The plot of this movie is very sad, and after watching it, it seems that it is nothing more than that, but once you think about the characters in the story, there will always be a faint warmth that will make you feel a little cured, and the cruelty in your heart will be relieved. .
The story in the movie is heartbreaking. The daughter of the heroine, a single mother, Mildred, was raped and murdered while out, but the murderer has never been found. One day, when Mildred was driving past three giant billboards, she thought of her daughter and hated the inaction of the police, so she rented the billboards and accused the police of incompetence in handling cases.
"Rape to death", " The murderer is still at large", "What are you doing, Chief Willoughby?"
Logically speaking, you think that the victim's mother is a very sad, pitiful, deeply sympathetic, at least a positive character, but no, Mildred in the movie, capable, with tied hair all the year round, unsmiling, temperamental He is irritable, paranoid, and very mean. Whether it is to his ex-husband, son, or others, he is always scolding bitch by bit.
If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be "cold".
The rape and murder of a young girl can't be solved, and the police don't take it too seriously. You think it's a lazy government headed by Police Chief Willoughby, but it's not. There are too few clues in the case, the body was destroyed, and all the DNA databases across the country have been checked. There is no match, no witnesses, and no suspects. The chance of confirming the murderer is almost zero.
And Willoughby is deeply loved by the residents of the town, and is terminally ill and will not live long.
Dixon, the character who won the Oscar for male supporting role, can be said to be a bastard, neurotic, racist, homophobic, and has a serious tendency to violence. When the chief committed suicide, even though he knew that it was not directly related to the three billboards, he still rushed out of the police station, beat the advertiser, and threw it directly from the second floor. (This long lens is really amazing)
With the plot, you know that he is actually the same, living with his mother, and his heart is still very soft when facing his mother.
Later in a bar, he heard clues about the case, two men were discussing the case of raping a girl, most likely Mildred's daughter, he deliberately messed with them, was beaten half to death, and put a fingernail on the man's face A little flesh and blood, go home and send it for inspection as soon as possible.
Three billboards, three main characters, three parallel lines, very exciting.
After all, the world is not black and white, but full of gray areas. The same is true of people, good people also have a bad side, and bad people also have a soft side. People are multi-faceted and complex.
Emotion is a very strange thing. We know it in our own hearts, but we refuse to admit it, and even want to cover it up with other things.
As tough as Mildred, that day when her daughter went out to borrow a car from her and was rejected, she said she hoped that she would be raped halfway through. And Mildred, not to be outdone, went back, and the result was a prophecy. She always thought in her heart that if she hadn't quarreled with her daughter at the time, if she had lent her a car at that time, would this not have happened. Afraid of facing such a result, she bought three billboards instead, and vented her emotions to the relevant police departments in this way.
Dixon was the same. He knew that the advertisement had nothing to do with the director's suicide, but he still rushed to the advertiser's place, beat him half to death, and threw it out from the second floor. He couldn't heal the pain in his heart, so he took it out on the advertiser.
Negative emotions are scary, and if you don't control them, they can get out of control.
But as Commissioner Willoughby said in his suicide note to Dixon: Only through love can inner peace be achieved, through inner peace can thoughts be possessed, and they can solve problems.
Mildred set fire to the police station, Dixon broke through the window from the fire, disregarded his own danger, and rescued the case of the heroine's daughter. Mildred was obviously shocked. The police chief committed suicide by writing three letters, one of which was to Mildred, sorry for not being able to solve the case for her daughter, so he repaid three billboards for a month. After Dixon was burned, he happened to be in the same ward as the advertiser in the hospital. After the advertiser who was beaten by him knew that the culprit in the hospital bed was the one who beat him, he still poured him a glass of orange juice.
This kind of inadvertent kindness and peace finally reconciles the characters in the story and heals us outside the story.
