Regarding the 1996 film "Switchblade", about Billy Bob Thornton, revisiting a concentrated outbreak of Hollywood movie, video, song, and literary all-powerful talents, or Angelina Jolie’s second husband, Although it feels like soil and slag, it can't be ignored. Who calls such a face full of scorn, can vividly deduce that the virgin is calm and the virgin is moving, and the talent has to wear a talent's top hat. Moreover, among the folks, celebrities’ gossip has always been more marketable than the works behind them. A love story with blood as an alliance may still be talked about in the past hundred years.
To be honest, watching a movie is very feeling, as if one thing, one scene, every move can activate the dull and lazy brain cells, and catch a glimpse of the prosperous literary thoughts. At the end of the movie, all thoughts were returned to the movie. Only two extreme emotions were brought out, the love for the mentally retarded Carl (Thornton), and the hatred for Dolly the rogue, plus a sigh, Frank's acting order. People tut praises.
There is also the feeling of little Frank. Listening to Karl's mechanical pronunciation, in addition to fun, you can also feel a trace of peace without any emotions. I especially like listening to him telling stories and reasoning, telling it to little Frank, but also to the audience. Short lines, deep connotations. "I think no bad things should happen to children, and those bad things should be left to adults to solve." This is the survival and moral trajectory that the entire movie follows. The road of right and wrong, love and hate opened up from the world of mental retardation, if a good person wants to live, he must let a bad person die. Although it is bloody, it is a fair judgment of the third type of court.
Carl's image is quite tall in my heart. He is a clever old child and a deep thinker (Vaughan said of him). The straightforwardness without turning, the mind that is good at imitating, the weird behavior when stiff body, the naive attitude when pursing one's teeth, these vivid portrayals, because of the kind and repentant heart, have become embellishments to complement one's clumsiness and prosper. Only when Carl rubs his hands repeatedly, that is the only place that makes me feel uncomfortable visually. Of course, this is also a success in shaping the character's character. Special people always have special preferences and habits. I understood that it was a kind of fear and anxiety that Carl showed when he was in a state of tension.
Speaking of the abhorrent Dolly, this kind of person is not uncommon in modern times. I watched a live-action interview show accusing this kind of trash man two days ago, and there is no way to calmly analyze it. If you meet someone who has a hobby of domestic violence and a cold-hearted heart, you are dead; if you meet someone who is lazy and has a good eloquence, you are also dead; if you meet a petty man who beats an abacus on his family, you can bear it; if you meet him, you can set fire to nowhere. You lit the lamp; don't expect anything.
As for Dolly, all the problems in front of him are a little bit sidelined, but in this film, there is still more of a rogue face. I thought I could see the bad scenes like Robert De Niro hitting a woman in "Angry Bull", but it ended up implicitly. However, in that one, little Frank's anger showed the extreme, Dolly held the door softly, and little Frank let out his vent. In the eyes of the viewer, I think there should be a hint of pleasure in venting his anger.
The other characters in the play can't be ignored either, they all have unambiguous characteristics.
The gay Vaughan is very kind, of course it means his character. As for the sentimental and fearful temperament of the young lady, it's okay to be cute. When Vaughn invited Dolly to lunch and revealed his identity, the two had a very interesting conversation. That section did not deepen the theme, but served to decorate the entire play.
Malinda, a fat woman who is a little in love with Carl, is not a mere decoration; the little girl interviewed at the beginning of the film, her voice of foul questioning should not be forgotten; the calm demeanor that Mr. Jerry has cultivated in the management of the hospital is against prejudice and Discriminatory sarcasm; Carl's father (Robert Duvall), who only showed his face for a short while, got eyeballs by convulsing and talking to himself. The only character who is not clear enough, for me, may be Frank's mother. She is still in my memory until now, still far, far away.
There is no nitpicking idea about Frank's performance. Lucas Black was fourteen years old, and he should give a thumbs up to the children at that time. When he grows up, it seems that many child stars have encountered the embarrassment of transformation. The grades are not bad or not. It may take the right time and script to start the spring of adulthood.
After watching the movie like this, let’s chew on the final ending. After Carl raised the knife, he called 911 to the police. He was really a genius. I can’t say heartlessly that he is killing two birds with one stone, but he can always say that Ikal’s life creed is what he has to do, and he has done it, fulfilled his promise of "you will be happy", and returned to the best. Suitable for your own little world.
Speaking of which, I did not talk about more stories about the movie, but just expressed my feelings indiscriminately. A movie in which a character with a specific character dominates the story can still gain more from practice.
