A movie that is supported to the greatest extent possible by a script and performance. Unless you really don't like it, otherwise, if there is any personal downside to these two points, this person's level is probably not high.
The play is perfect, as soon as the lines are spoken, the parents carefully observe the shortness of the story and the daily ramblings. It is highly condensed, and the writing is thoughtful, without realizing that it actually comes from the disguised spoken language on the writing table. The second is about the structural narrative, which is described in a straight line, starting from three characters, divided into three families, and one family for the second group (the police and the public), which presents three positions. Three sets of fire, one kill, two verticals, three explosions, one conflict is created, the second intensifies, and the last is relieved, such a three-three-three-three structure. Three talk about emotional expression, match the three roles, be tenacious in death, do not give up; be optimistic in illness, be loyal to duty; be stubborn in foolishness, and preserve justice.
The performance is superb, with every move of the hand, every move, and one opening, the traces of the performance have faded away. The effect of the script is not to mention the help given to the actors in advance. Francis remained lean at the age of 60. The wrinkles on his face saw the passage of time, but his eyes were as sharp as those of a strong man. His body was as aggressive and aggressive as ever. , it's over here. However, when I looked down at her alone in a room, I finally saw the pain, anxiety, and fragility of a mother who lost her daughter. She didn't shed a single tear. Looking at her softened eyes, the actor's own wrinkles were so integrated with the role. These lines are no longer the years, but the pain of losing a loved one. Give her an Oscar for such a performance.
As for the two male protagonists, Woody's performance, as always, made me feel natural and relaxed, which fits the character's calmness in the face of cancer, but the process of facing the disease is ultimately lonely. When he parted from us in front of the camera, he was telling jokes about flirting with his wife, and he was so frank, not a pathetic "Farewell, friend!" but a light "Goodbye, big guy" Look He is very relaxed, but he is always reluctant to part, and you can see it. Such an effect is the victory of the script and the victory of the performance.
As for Sam, he's better than Woody. The key word, slightly drunk middle-aged giant baby, see how he interprets it. Really want to describe, it is a kind of unconsciousness. Yeah, I don't know how to describe it, but I'll see after reading it. Best Supporting Actor Oscar, bet on him.
The most precious thing about the film is that you easily disdain, resent or even hate someone based on some of their actions. This process is mutual. Because the world is tough, something (not to mention it's really big) can easily make you think the world is cold and people are unpredictable. You will arm yourself because of distrust.
But no one can fight the whole world alone, and not everyone is wrong for you. Fortunately, kind people are kind after all. I try to understand you and let you understand me. Now that I understand, you and I trust each other. Let’s help each other together. Everyone needs help.
So Willoughby wrote three letters before he died and helped Hayes pay for a month's lease of the billboard. He is kind.
So at the end of the film, Hayes and Dixon will meet together to go to the chivalrous. As for whether they will actually kill people in the future, the director is very smart and leaves the question to you: what do you hope?
Really a bowl of chicken soup that is simmered slowly and the heat is just right.
At this point, speaking of such good, it should be given 5 stars. Think about it, it's better to give 4 pieces. The reason is that since the script and performance are perfect, no matter how picky you are, you may only be picky about the production, which is indeed more conventional.
Perhaps the quality of the film is already this high, and as an audience, there should be no more demands on the production. I said, what if Martin's next film maintains the excellence of the play, but upgrades the production? ! I definitely hope. This film made me see the director's excellence, so I look forward to more surprises. It's a good movie, I'll give it 4 stars.
