My favorite picture of the 92nd Academy Awards, The Irishman.
In this Oscar-nominated film, everyone still doesn't know where in 1917. The King of Speedy can watch the abbreviated version of the Grand Tour. The Joker is not deep enough. Deviant, Qiao Qiaotu is too happy, divorce stories are too depressing, and most of them don't know where to watch them. Netflix, which only has a 30-day free membership, allows me to watch The Irishman over and over again.
I didn't know director Scorsey for the first time, and said that GRR Martin didn't do his job and dragged the draft.
The first time I looked at it, it seemed like Noodles smoking opium daydreaming, and Travis, who was insomniac. The story of the human gang seems to follow Forrest Gump through time. After reading the five flavors, people want to complain, but they can't write.
If life is just like the first time you see it, why don't you just watch the movie once?
To forget the trouble, I watched it a second time a few weeks later. Only then did I feel the collision of Michael Corleone, Jimmy Conway and Tommy DeVito across dimensions for the first time; there is not only the humor of Don Paul Vitti, but also the sympathy between Neil McCauley and Lt. Vincent Hanna, Xiao Ma and Song Zihao. When the film ends again in the ramble of the fat Jake LaMotta, when the camera blacks out, it makes people want to write something, but they can't.
Some people say that this three-hour film is too long, and will fall asleep at every different point in the experience of countless attempts to watch it. However, when I finally finished watching this film in my deep sleep, I might feel that this is a good wine that can be judged in dozens or dozens of hours . Yes, more than 20 hours of evaluation is the span between my first and second time.
Here are Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro who played the main roles in the above classic films; here is Martin Scorsese, the soul director of the above classic films - maybe you, like me, never knew there was such a character, Only after watching this film for Robert De Niro, who is secretly waiting for you at the entrance of the alley , may I think of those films with character, characters and remember the director with character.
What? If you want to watch this movie without falling asleep, please read my following movie guide story.
Official Account [New York Gnome to see the world] All original text: The Irishman: Interpretation and Reconstruction, Feeling and Emotion
As a fan of the Godfather series and Robert De Niro, I watched "The Irishman," with great expectations, the annual critically acclaimed blockbuster from a director I don't know very well. The first time I watched it for three and a half hours left me a lot of confusion and a little dissatisfaction.
The structure of the story, the way of narration, and even many scenes, constantly make some classic movies of the past reappear in my mind synchronously - "Once Upon a Time in America", "The Godfather" series, "Pirates of Fire" even should have been played with eight poles. Not together "Forrest Gump", very confused.
In addition, the film also adopts the electronic age restoration technology in advance. Although the whole film spans more than 40 years, the main characters from young to old are all composed of three old actors who are already ancient or even near old (mào dié). deduction.
But the problem is that although the facial age is well restored, the actor's body cannot completely distinguish the thirty-year-old from the seventy-year-old - this is especially obvious in Frank, the protagonist with the largest age span. So when I was expecting to see the vigorous figure of the young old Godfather in "The Godfather 2", I only saw Marlon Brando's staggering.
It's still a good movie, otherwise it's not enough for me to watch it for nearly four hours without interruption, but do these various details mean that it's not as good as the praise? I torture myself.
My friends suggested that I try to figure out the works of Martin Scorsese in different periods that I have heard of but not familiar with. I also decided to revisit those classic old works that were awakened by this film.
"Goodfellas", "Raging Bull", "Taxi Driver", etc., turned back time and brought me a consistent but different viewing experience. More than twenty hours later, a few days before my free Netflix trial expired, I opened the movie again.
The same three and a half hours may have become slower, or may have passed faster - life is like a drama, sometimes seconds are like years, and sometimes the rings are flying. I can't say I understand the film better, maybe I'm more confused - who doesn't, as the years go by, the wise people's doubts about everything will only increase.
At least from the perspective of more than 20 hours, I have seen in the film the memory of an old man, or the memories of many old people, like flowers, blooming, withering and then passing away. Just like the first time you watched the movie, those memories of old classics flashed.
So I wrote the first part of the playful description, and then made up the second part of the absurd story. What is real? What is false. Perhaps this question will only become more urgent when artificial intelligence is about to replace humans.
At least now, we can immerse ourselves in the beauty and glory of the past, the fantasy and expectation of the present and the future without any scruples.
This is not just a film that takes nearly four hours to taste, but a good wine that can be tasted for dozens or dozens of hours. Otherwise, maybe you won't appreciate it; however, you will definitely feel differently.
