      "The End of the Flower" film review: The hapless end of the flower is so handsome to the complete Brad Pitt



      This video blew me away.

      It's just a little thing in life, I didn't expect it to evolve to such a level, it was unexpected, but it was reasonable.

      So, when I first saw the film, I thought the script was just perfect. There is a feeling of being light-hearted, and also a feeling of being humble and righteous.

      Moreover, the cost of this kind of script investment...

      if there is if

      This film tells the story of two best friends, one is at odds with her boyfriend, and the other two women who are disciplined by their husbands all day. Originally, they started an easy and temporary escape from the status quo. They wanted to have a relaxing vacation trip. A crazy end-of-the-road escape.

      Strictly speaking, this is not a feminist movie, but it just appropriately vented the two women in different fates and the contrasting but expected "black swan incident" in real life....

      Doomsday: The Road to Destruction to Freedom

      I watched "The Endless Flower" seriously on Sunday afternoon. Someone on Zhihu commented that it is "the shell of a road movie, the core of feminism". I don't care what kind of ism it is. Anyway, I saw a kind of awe at the end. The sense of salute, especially in the final scene, where Louis and Thelma rush out of the police siege, step on the gas pedal to the bottom of the canyon.

      The character who has changed the most throughout the film is Selma. Before planning a weekend trip with...

      Contradictory Lei Gong, vague female consciousness

      First clarify: the views in this article may be biased

      When I finished watching the film, I thought it was a feminist film, but when I wrote a review, I felt something was wrong. Housewife Selma and coffee waiter Louis are not limited by their boring life, so they go out together to relax. It should be noted here that their departure is to seek spiritual relaxation rather than to escape the responsibilities of family and love. First of all, they came to the bar. When Selma was almost...

      Even at the end of the road, you have to live with a posture, bloom like a flower frantically, and finish the last thick ink stroke.

      Louise is a calm and courageous woman. What she thinks after the accident is not the police but the anticipation after the police. I admire this.
      And Selma is obviously an amorous and timid woman, who can stay out of trouble if others cheat money and lose their lives.
            Louise actually longs for stability, but there is always no suitable person to give her enough sense of security, so that she can change into a satisfied wife and a qualified mother.
            In my opinion,...

      Awesome, a spiritual journey of women out of bondage, crime, murder, rebirth under the wraps of sex, a true feminist film, impeccable in every way, you can feel Ridley S. The sense of breath that Kurt gave to the film is not outdated even now. In a sense, it shows that the situation of women has not been really improved over the years. The male images depicted in the film are still alive in this world, but they are Women who have been hurt may spend their whole lives unable to find that grand...

      If such freedom is a crime, then happily trade your life for a vacation! The ending is so romantic! Golden desert, brisk guitar, Thunderbird sunglasses and sun hat. I burst into tears every time the two of them talked. It was another loss of weakness and compromise that I still hope to...

      8/8.5 is the last tragic but fearless leap; American movies in the 1990s are really much better than today's thoroughly entertaining assembly line products; Lao Lei is indeed my favorite Western director except Kashen; Hans's soundtrack is like rain...

    Tidbits

    Gortier Horn and Meryl Streep wanted to star in the film after reading the script, but they finally decided to star in "Flying Over the Longevity" together.
    A total of 5 identical Thunderbirds produced in 1966 were used in the film. One "lead actor", one camera, one spare, and two as stunt cars.
    George Clooney, who was still struggling with his acting career at the time, had auditioned five times, but the role of JD eventually fell on...

    Piercing

    The fact is wrong: the bullet shot into the thin metal sheet at an angle, leaving an oval rather than a circular hole. In addition, they will cause the metal shot by the bullet to protrude outward instead of facing it.
    Coherence: Just after Salma met JD, an old man sat down with a piece of paper stuck behind him with the words Victorville, CA, Canada. Salma and Louise should be in Oklahoma at this time.
    While Salma and Louise were...

    Evaluation action

    "The End of the Road" is a feminist film in the form of a road movie. The journey depicted in the film is not so much Louise’s journey of revenge against the patriarchal society, as it is the journey of Selma’s growth. She went from wearing a sexy long skirt, to a denim shirt, and to the end. Under all the female symbols (earrings, necklaces, watches) Louise style jeans, sleeveless T-shirts; everything is her from a mindless housewife,...

    Movie quotes

    • Louise: Is he your husband or your father?

    • Louise: [talking about their cabin vacation in the mountains later in the day] You mean you haven't asked him, yet? Thelma, for Christ's sake! Is he your husband or your father? It is just two days, for God's sake. Don't be a child. Tell him you're going with me.

      [grins mischieviously]

      Louise: Tell him I'm having a nervous breakdown.

      Thelma: That don't carry much weight with Darryl. He already thinks you're out of your mind.

    • Darryl: [answers phone again] Yep?

      Louise: Darryl, this is Louise. Let me talk to the police.

      Darryl: Hey Louise!

      Louise: [sour tone of voice] Hi. Let me talk to the police.

      Darryl: [stuttering] What do you mean? There's no police here.

      [Hal and Max both scoff and roll their eyes]
