Best Picture that didn't win

There have been too many long-winded reviews about the film, and too many compliments about the show. In short, there are two highlights of this film, the first is Clooney's performance. In fact, after watching the movie, I have completely differentiated between actors and entertainers. Usually people think that actors are actually entertainers. For example, the stars of Hong Kong and Taiwan are singers, actors and directors all by themselves, so as to show that they are all-round, but they can only be regarded as entertainers. In the final analysis, artists are just for entertainment and entertainment, and they are things to talk about after dinner. Actors have to rely on the words in the script for more than 100 minutes to interpret another very different life, and this can only be done by themselves.

Clooney is perfect in the movie, and his perfection is different from the flawed perfection of Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman, he is perfect perfection. Clooney has created a classic image of a business man, perhaps a bit old but not in the minority who see him as a model or a role model for men.

The second is the plot. Clooney's lifestyle in the play is coveted - he spends most of the year on planes and high-end hotels, free, uninhibited, not having to deal with cumbersome corporate affairs and kinship, and can catch up Nice sex partner. Such a pleasant life was thrown a pot of cold water at the end of the film.

After attending his sister's wedding and experiencing relative silence and embarrassment in the face of his family, he felt that he was so lonely without starting a family. Then, when he was impulsive and traveled thousands of miles to find the lover he met on the journey, he found that she even had a family of her own, which surprised him and couldn't accept it. Even more ironically, his sister's husband was reluctant to marry because of pre-marriage fears, but it was he who had been dismissive of married life from beginning to end to persuade him to complete the wedding. When he finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish to become the youngest lifetime member who accumulated enough air miles to 10 million kilometers, and got to meet the legendary old captain, his frustration was beyond words - I have a Great platinum card, not even an ordinary family.

A splendid and elegant life was finally thrown on the stage where the traditional family concept played the leading role, but this was the warmest and most appropriate way to deal with it. It's an offbeat movie, but it doesn't feel ironic that it completely subverts tradition like Juno, and it's a traditional movie, but it doesn't fall into the cliché of reunion like most mainstream family movies. . In any case, this is a rare movie masterpiece, my favorite movie of the last year, bar none.
