1. Putting aside the political background of the 1960s, this film tells the story of how a politically brainwashed daughter ruined her father, family and herself. 2. By telling the fragmentation of a perfectly happy family, the film may be trying to say: Any thought and behavior that uses various big slogans, actually manipulates the body and soul of an individual, and violently harms innocent people is shit! 3. Cherish life and stay away from...

Love to Ewan. I haven't read the original, so I can't compare it with the shock of human nature that I didn't intend to care about politics. Ewan plays Daddy very well, although he doesn't look like an American Jew. The list of thanks has Eve's name at the end and a bunch of dog...

Ewan McGray really fits into this genre of oral storytelling. Life is just a short space of time in which you were alive. Watching depressing themes continuously is too...

Ewan's director is quite satisfactory, the subject matter is not popular at the moment, because of this, I think he has a lot of ideas, which is very good. The film is definitely not shameful on his...

It is said that Ivan was ordered to be a director when he was in danger. Philip Roth answered my long-standing skepticism about the hippie generation. Behind the mainstream lauded hippie wave are the abandoned previous generation and a lot of extremely self-abandoned young people in the dark reality. Ivan played a kind and simple middle-class father who could not understand the changes in the world at all and lived in idyllic poetry, and was doomed to perish. One more star is a pull...

The representative of Naturalism, in postwar America, under the hope and prosperity, the undercurrent of hatred and division is surging. As the film doesn't have too many remarkable artistic techniques, four stars are the evaluation of the original work. There is always a fine line between Revolution and...

If Hillary came to power, it could only be a historical movie. But the reality is that Trump is in office, and this should be the movie of the...

After looking at it for a long time, I can only feel the story of a pit father's daughter who killed his father. Mostly because the dramatic tension is not enough, the daughter is still naive and ignorant, without the bitterness and shadow of the revolutionaries, the father is not bitter enough, and has not reached the limit of suffocation. Therefore, the conflict between the two parties is not sharp enough to be substituted. Probably because of middle-class families, the bitter history of some...

Ivan's director was too bland this time. He put the tragic story of the next generation in a big era into a small family, and did not dig deeper into the social background that caused the tragedy, including his own...

When I was watching the movie, I suddenly remembered that Philip Roth is about to die for a year. Gorgeously shot. Exquisite and texturized. But the perspective and entry point are still too thin and on the surface. So I want to read the original book itself and see what the novel is...

Daughter turns mother into bitch
The daughter in the film loves her father dearly since she was a child, but her mother, who was a beauty pageant, created a strong psychological pressure. She was first lost, and then rebellious. She must prove that her parents were failures. At least her mother is not worthy of her father's love....

American Pastoral - that's not cool.
The film is based on Philip Roth's American Trilogy and American Pastoral. The American Trilogy is the work of American Jewish writer Philip Roth, including "American Pastoral" (1997), "I Married a Communist" (1998) and "The Filth of Humanity" (2000). The three novels are narrated from Zuckerman's...

[first lines]
Nathan Zuckerman: [narrating as WWII era dance music plays] Let's remember the energy. America had won the war. The depression was over. Sacrifice was over. The upsurge of life was contagious. We celebrated a moment of collective inebriation that we would never know again. Nothing like it in all the years that followed from our childhood until tonight, the 45th reunion of our high school class.
Nathan Zuckerman: [now walking down a school hallway] At 30 or 40, a gathering of my old classmates would have been exactly the kind of thing I'd have kept my nose out of. But at 62, I found myself drawn to it as if in the crowd of half-remembered faces I'd be closer to the mystery at the heart of things, a magic trick that turned time past into time present.

Swede Levov: You were involved in something there, something political.
Merry Levov: Everything is political. Brushing your teeth is political.
