Confusion, Confusion and Reveal

Maybe since the release of this film, I have been immersed in it unknowingly, so that I don't know how many times I have read it over the past two years, but I still find it unsatisfactory, and I always feel relish every time. .Perhaps
times have really changed, so that in the current era, it is almost impossible for a period film to be appreciated by young audiences, let alone such a film with deep cultural implications; I clearly remember that three years When I walked out of the theater with a few classmates, I was the only one cheering and cheering, while the other people seemed to be somewhat incomprehensible and silent; this direct perception made me both surprised and curious, and I couldn't help but wonder. Ask yourself: Could it be that I am really a little mature?
However, I gradually told myself that their reaction was probably the most direct. After all, not everyone can appreciate such a film.
Watching movies on weekends seems to have long been a part of North American life, and quite a few people have the habit of going to the cinema on weekends, which is why the “weekend box office” is always counted when calculating the box office. However, this habit is very strong so that each audience is interested in different films, and most of the time, similar to this category: "story comedy" and "talking story", these types of films tend to attract more There are old people, and there is a small Mesozoic crowd. It is quite good to let a group of high school students sit quietly and read it. What can I expect them to express?
It is impossible to watch this kind of film without living experience abroad. After all, without it, you will become very confused, but more importantly, you must have a character that likes to think, because without thinking, it is impossible like it.
I have always regarded this film as a romance film, and among them, the roles of Sister Amy and Uncle Bell are an important reason why I have been obsessed with this film.
A lot of people seem to have exhausted all their strength in acting, and it seems that only in that way can they be called powerful, but Uncle Bell and Sister Amy have always given me the impression that they are "natural". However, it has never given people the feeling of "acting". Looking at the characters they created, many of them are ordinary characters. There are not many imitations and exaggerations. It's an almost ubiquitous display of genuine emotion that I've rarely felt in any other actor except the two of them.
On the surface, this movie is so obviously exaggerated that I always thought that Tina Fey's joke at the Golden Globes was "interesting trivia, the organial title of that movie was explotion at the wig factory." It perfectly describes the first impression of the film. Fluffy wigs, open fronts, hip-hop music, and out-of-tune conversations seem to bring the audience back to the free and romantic 1970s. However, under this appearance, the film also shows a lot of subjective or objective hints, and the concept of "individual" is undoubtedly one of the most prominent hints.
