When I watched this film, I completely forgot about skills, although others must have it, but they don't care. Totally immersed in it, tied to the soul by the fate of the characters in the play. Of course, in the climax part, the hero Lee recalled the past in the lawyer's office, the source of the tragedy of the nightmare, and the present scene interlaced, and the rhythm of the gongs and drums was accelerated, and the clip was so crisp, and I still didn't want to. called means. At this time, Pandora's box is completely opened, and you understand why he was like a walking dead before. Shock, pain, annoyance, grief and anger all poured over, showing no mercy at all.
The movie of pain in life, I always think of "Blue, White and Red Trilogy in Blue" first, and Juliet Binoche, who is particularly good-looking in it, experienced the pain of bereavement of her husband and child, and then had to get Knowing the truth about her husband having a pregnant lover. The latter, however, achieved her redemption miraculously, overcame her grief, and gained the freedom of her soul. There is also Kristen Scott Thomas's "Love You Forever", the heroine with the name of murdering children, hits walls everywhere, an employer knows her identity and says to her: "Get out of me!" She didn't go to all the People explain why, because those are external things compared to eternal scars. In the "Westworld" I just watched a few days ago, Arnold, one of the designers, also designed the entire maze because of the pain of his death, which has become a battlefield for humans and robots to rejoice and kill. Some people are lucky enough to walk out, and some people choose not to compromise, and they will never be saved with the past.
Lee banished himself, easy to understand. He couldn't face his ex-wife, face the past. The reunion of the two after many years resulted in the best duo in the history of the 2016 film. Michelle Williams has always been good. Even in "Brokeback Mountain", which did not use her as the protagonist, she used softness to overcome rigidity. The Monroe that I played later, no matter whether it looks like it or not, at least I think the look is right. When it comes to this one, in fact, she doesn't have many roles, but the key characters, several appearances are crucial. At the last meeting, the emotions of the two broke out in different ways. For the heroine who got married and had children again, life has moved on, but the common bearer of grief has always stayed in that black hole. You hated him, and you loved him too. him, but you can't save him. Casey Affleck gave the best performance so far, and I voted for him for the Oscar. Over the years, he has been shrouded in the halo of his brother, neither yin nor yang nor yang. His temperament is quite unique, handsome and facially paralyzed, a typical tragic or anti-bone male protagonist. So in "Missing Baby" his character can stand. There is also the masterpiece "Death of the Sharpshooter", the more cowardly boys can become the shackles of the heroic hero. In this film, how to play the role of a guilt-ridden father who has lost his son, and has to be the supporter of his deceased brother and son. The more reluctant to go back to the city, the more you have to go back. The more responsibility you can't take, the more you have to take it. On the night of the incident, if he didn't shoot himself, he would have to suffer for the rest of his life.
The only light in such a mourning movie is my brother's son. A sunny little handsome guy, just the opposite of his uncle. Ice hockey team, good friends, and two little girlfriends, the best age of life. The sunniest side of life was open to him, even though his father's sudden death also struck him at night in front of the refrigerator. The emotional connection with my uncle is actually kind of weird, yet so integrated. An uncle with a closed heart, an uncle who evades responsibility, and two souls of mutual redemption. Just like Kim Ki-deok's "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring": life is long or short, and the combination of pain and pleasure can be treated as nothingness, it can be regarded as an epiphany. Dream bubble, the moment stuck in the heart is real. If you can't avoid it, you can't quit, just embrace the bastard of life and live with it.
