everything

Watched two sets of movies, and watched "I’m Thinking of Ending Things" (I’m Thinking of Ending Things) on Netflix in the evening. This movie is controversial. To be honest, it is not suitable for ordinary and superficial people like me. However, it was a movie that changed the work of a young novelist. For me, a visionary who was a little delusional about turning my novel into a movie, or this was one of the reasons why I would watch this movie.

At the beginning of the movie, the beautiful scene of snow flies in a simple town is used. The girl with curly hair looks at the sky, laying a fantasy line. The heroine is called Lucy. The director is obviously not an appearance association. Lucy does not have amazing beauty, but still looks comfortable. However, the hero Jake is an out-and-out ugly man. This setting surprised me, and his existence, probably It is deliberately set by the movie. He drove Lucy to the outskirts of the farm to meet his parents, Lucy was his girlfriend who had been dating for seven weeks.

In fact, the love between ugly men and ordinary women accounts for more than half of the lovers in the world. It’s just that in movies, ugly guys are rarely used as the leading actor, so I guess the follow-up of the movie is related to his appearance. At the beginning, Lucy sat on Jake's money seven, and has been advancing under the blizzard. The content of the conversation between the two is not beautiful, but poetic and prose. The literary atmosphere is excellent, and the knowledge is amazing. It is just that the movie has maintained the picture of the conversation between the two for about half an hour. In the not-so-beautiful characters and not too dynamic, Under the less familiar literary knowledge and atmosphere, it will inevitably make people feel bored. Annoying is a bad word, but I do feel this way when I don’t understand the meaning of the movie.

Jake is a man who is not good at speech, but he has a lot of literary accomplishment. The family has a collection of poems by Eva H. D. Rotten Perfect Mouth (she is not well-known, this book is only known after the film), and can copy paintings by famous painters. He didn't know how to get along with women. He drove home under the wind and snow, but insisted on taking his girlfriend to visit the stables. There were dead lambs and pig carcasses killed by maggots. The disgusting scenes made people think that. The farm is a horror scene, and there should be a series of horror plots after Lucy enters the house.

However, this is not the case. Lucy gets Jake to give her slippers. This careful measure is actually ignored by many male gods. Jake's family is very weird, and the movie also shows different people from different eras through the screen, giving the audience a feeling of walking into a diverse space or traveling through different time and space. I saw here that I actually rewind to see Lucy's clothing and dressing. Her dress is different, and she has also received multiple calls. These calls are of another her, just her with a different name. Seeing this, I always thought it was a brain-burning drama, I also deliberately remember that Lucy is not wearing a cold shirt at the moment. The tape on Jake's dad's head is horizontally attached to the right, and his left forehead is vertical. Adhesive tape.

When I was looking forward to a more confusing plot, everything came to be simple. The frustration and time-space of the different characters are actually the fantasy and imagination of the male protagonist. Lucy is also a fantasy character. The male protagonist Jake, to put it in a nutshell, It's a "poor worm who can't help women." Everything means life, and the protagonist’s real body is just a school worker. He was bullied during the growth process, ignored and made fun of by beautiful women. He also became ignorant because of his loneliness and family environment. Dare to get along with women, but he reads poems and books, is proficient in painting, and is also careful (opening the door for women, providing slippers, etc.), but he only ends up lonely and eventually ends up in sorrow.

The final scene of the movie will give people the feeling of jumping, but at the same time, it is clearly explained. Jake's idea is to analyze through the stage play. His imagination is infinite, and it can only end in tragedy. After watching the movie, I imagined that this scene has the feeling of Hong Kong "Phantom Love", but Jake is not mentally ill. His fantasy is even more real than A Le, the plot is more detailed, the artistic conception of driving in the snow and talking about poetry, wind and snow The ice cream shop in the middle of the road, the school in the remote road, these scenes are partly real and partly illusory. He can put the fantasy Lucy into the scene, giving people a sense of real suspense.

The most important thing is that mainstream movies focus on the appearance of the male and female protagonists. For example, even if "Phantom Love" describes the mentally ill, it uses the decent Liu Junqian to act instead of using actors who are closer to that level. The heroine must also The reason is that they want to give the audience a sense of beauty and fantasy. If you use two actors with ordinary or even a little ugly appearance (in fact, this reflects reality), you may end up being criticized and discriminated against and vilifying the mentally ill.

The scene of "Everything" is just the opposite. The director Charlie Kaufman is showing a kind of truth, using plain or even ugly male protagonists to let the audience sympathize and substitute for the sadness, just as I kept emphasizing the male protagonist at the beginning. It must be the director deliberately arranged it to be ugly, and this kind of arrangement felt very deep after watching the movie, because if the protagonist is very handsome and with this kind of talent, even if he does not take the initiative to attack, many women are buried. The fact is that it is so cruel. Of course, talented ugly men are more popular than wealthy ugly men. But we still have to believe that men who are talented and gifted will actually have women who admire themselves.

After watching the movie, I unexpectedly remembered a friend who was also full of poems, books, and paintings, his eloquence was good, and his income was not bad, but he was lonely all these years. Later, I asked how much wealth and appearance accounted for the magnetic field between men and women. She didn't answer and I fell asleep.
