Mills kept prescribing prescriptions to the audience on the screen, and those white capitalized texts could turn into Wikipedia at critical moments, touching the numb nerves under the gentle breathing. Although I still have to eat Eurodin from time to time, the movie can relax me a little bit-I can't sleep if I can't sleep, God won't tell you to fall asleep; if you force yourself to sleep, you may fall out tomorrow. In the uncovered well (everyone knows the truth about losing EAST, God must be fair!) When you can't sleep, there are hundreds of millions of Japanese people with you.
If Does Your Soul Have a Cold is a clinical guideline for depression, then Mills' new book Begginers is definitely an encyclopedia of depression.
My dad, who has been married for 44 years, suddenly announced his coming out after my mother was gone, and successfully held a small man in hand. Although the good times didn't last long, the old man didn't have a few years of free, bohemian, and life-long contributions to gay pride, so he let go of his son, boy, and dog. Since childhood, the son has devoted himself to regulating the endocrine of his elders, and he stayed in his father’s last days. After his father passed away, he even regarded the dog who "only understood 150 words but couldn't speak" as his father alive. Carrying "No matter how awesome Chopin is, I can't tell the sadness of Lao Tzu", the son met a little French (or Quebec?) actor who was a little bit of Lori delusion, father's nonsense trash can, extremely insecure, and insightful.
The ups and downs of love and family, cute puppies jumping up and down, seemingly artificial plot full of drama conflict, but it is the true semi-autobiography of the director! The father who evaporates at any time like morning dew, and the girlfriend who moves quickly like a migratory bird. Between the ebb and flow and the narrative switching, the two main lines facilitate the audience's tear ducts to hum a duet. The chronological order is not important anymore, what is important is the black humor of "one sand, one world": it goes round and round, but it is unknown.
Carrying the dual identities of director and visual designer, Mills will always be able to "be in his place and seek his job", and Begginers is another seductive movie-as a director, he always keeps the audience's tears in their eyes moist. At the same time, the slightly arrogant picture insertion (the degree of vigor can be said to be "break-in"), which accurately conveys the original intention of historical monologues and character monologues. The History of Sadness, edited by the fake male protagonist, quickly visualizes the invisible sadness and can be called a classic.
Without exploring the popularization of anti-depressant knowledge or medication guidance, Begginers is talking about the reasons why each character in the film is depressed: his son wants to be worthy of everyone, but deep in his heart is a "must find a lion" ; Even if there is only one giraffe in his life, he will not be a perfectionist with the giraffe; the young actor wants to keep his father’s heavy secrets, but cannot turn himself into a dumb, so he can only wander all day long to find the next empty room. ; Xiao Nan struggled with his gay identity, and when he imagined being rejected by others, he would keep everyone a thousand miles away, except for his dad, who can act spoiled casually.
In this way, Begginers inevitably fall into the cliché of "finding father". But the delicate portrayal of women once again brings the film into the vortex of multiple spaces. The ethnicity, feminist rights, politics, and gay pride included during the period kept rushing towards the face with Mills interspersed pictures, but in the end they were all diluted by the understanding dog, with 100% healed eyes. The puppy only cares about one question: How about the marriage? Perhaps it was this dog that allowed Begginers to win the Cannes "Best Female Interpretation Award" (la meilleur interpretation feminine is this translation, right?).
The depressed buddies are all sensitive. Although I don't know if Mills has depression, I believe he understands the truth. Sensitive people have low laughs, just like the hero, in the spirit of historical monologue, secretly spraying YOU MAKE ME LAUGH, BUT IT'S NOT FUNNY on a huge billboard. Returning to the self-comfort at the beginning: If you laugh, you just laugh. Why do you care if it is funny? Smile and cry and cry, cry and cry and laugh, one meaning. There are so many happy things with wine and joy; where can there be so much awkwardness by drinking wine...
The most incisive opinion of the little actor is: "The people living in the building believe that half of the people believe in the impossible, and the other half believe in the miracle. , So they are always fighting." The same is true for the sensitive brain: either it is a miracle or it is impossible. Probably this is the reason, right?
