    Character Evaluation

    Paul Franklin Dano pays great attention to his personal style in his performances. He always plays some weird and remote characters, but he can accurately present the complex psychology of the characters, which is admirable   . As an actor, he has given many wonderful performances, from the earliest film "Little Girl on the Sun" to "There Will Be Blood" and "Love & Mercy", and he has obviously learned from the directors he has worked with. Many, many, played very naturally in the directorial debut "Wildlife" this time   . The audiovisual style of "Wildlife", contrary to the title, is precisely static. The tempo of the film is not fast even in the climax part. It can be seen that the director Paul Franklin Dano's calmness and self-control, never abuse the horse Tencent Entertainment comprehensive review).

      i was cheated

      Looking at the poster, I thought it was a funny movie like Baby Project, I was deceived~

      Lonely City, melancholy young people, nonsensical beatings, nonsensical cold shots, made me want to close this movie several times.

      I insisted on reading it, although there are still a lot of things I don’t...

      It's a dull and depressing story, especially the director who cleverly arranged a homeless man to express the depression of a male pig, but the expressiveness is too weak. It doesn't match the whole plot at all. Came here like Zooey was babbling.

    Gigantic quotes

    • Roger Stovall: You can sell salt to a slug, *if* you listen to the slug.

    • Al Lolly: You know I had brain cancer once, Brian?

      Brian: No...

      Al Lolly: Yup. A Huge tumor on the recesses of my temporal lobe.

      Brian: But you're okay now...

      Al Lolly: Yep. 100% holistic. No chemo, no radiation.

      Brian: Whad you do?

      Al Lolly: I mapped the pathology of the cancer with my mind. Very Chinese. Yep. Glad I moved it. I got it with meditation. I pushed it down to the fatty tissue of my temporal lobe, 2 months. Then I moved it down into my nasal cavity, 3 months. Then, then one day I just hocked it up. About the size of a little squash bar, maybe bigger. Do you play squash Brian?
