The reason why I want to watch this movie is because it is about going back in time, because I have always liked the theme of time travel. After watching it, the plot is completely different from what I imagined. Time travel is just a setting that is too foil, and it is not back in the past like I thought, the protagonist just became younger in the same era. I thought it would be about how he chooses to live again, and found that just as the protagonist in the film said, the purpose of wanting to live again is not for him to choose and achieve something, but for the spirit guide to guide him to do "something" bigger than me", that is, to understand his children, help them, and achieve himself.
I feel that the whole movie is very popular, and I may not have seen such a modern movie for a long time. The movie is full of slang words, catchphrases (let me keep Baidu to know) and modern American youth culture - bully, sex, modern life - mobile phone video (even the same mobile phone as me!), youtube, google. Once again, I experience the chaotic youth of Americans, mature middle-aged people, and their emphasis on family.
I feel that the film has two lines, one is about the protagonist himself: his youth, him and his wife, his do it all over again; the other is about him and his children, the world of a new generation of young people.
When he just re-entered the school, I almost forgot that he was a middle-aged man, because he was so handsome, and his behavior was still so teenager: using sports cars and other methods to attract attention. When he drove a sports car to school, it seemed as if the eyes of the whole world were on him, so he walked confidently, as if he had found his worth. But when the door suddenly opened and hundreds of people came out, he was lost in the crowd again.
The mentality of young people always wants to be noticed, because they are not confident, they do not recognize themselves, and they want to find their own value from the envious eyes of others. But this self-confidence is often easy to lose, so jealous, low self-esteem.
As for the children, it reluctantly shows that similar things in youth are staged again, and so is the tragedy. Reminds me of "Initial K", the father and son finally chose different paths. I once felt that only by making mistakes can I truly understand, so the same regrets of youth will repeat again and again, and it seems that the lessons of the previous generation cannot be learned and progress will not be made.
After watching the movie, the evaluation of the movie depends to a large extent on the mentality of watching. In the rational and utilitarian state that I was in before, I couldn't even find my own feeling when watching the movie. And lately it feels like the skylight is opening and letting me see the light. Although this movie may be trying to express some platitudes, but I feel quite deep.
There are a few episodes that moved me very much: taking a class on sexual health education, giving out condoms, and a speech by the protagonist:
I think that means you do it with someone you love. And preferably when you're married. When you're ready to take that love and turn it into a baby. Because that's what love is. It's that first moment when you hold your baby girl and you didn't know that anything could be so small or so delicate. And you feel that tiny heart beat and you know that you couldn't love anything more in the whole world. And you hope that you can do right by that little girl and always be there to catch her when she falls, and that nothing ever hurts her. Not a broken arm or a bad dream or a broken heart.
Then the classmates handed back the condoms they had taken, saying they didn't need it.
He encouraged his son: when you're young, everything feels like the end of the world. It's not. It's just the beginning.
At the end he said to his wife: I thought I wanted a second chance at life, but now I know I just want a second chance with you. I love you. You are the best decision I ever made.
Later I saw the attached clipped This is why I always insist on watching genuine DVDs. There are additional features in it~~~
Really, only by doing it again can I realize that I already have what is really important to me. ? Lose to know how to cherish?
Youth used to be brilliant, the man of the basketball team at that time was just a middle-aged loser; the school beauty-level beauty at the time was also an old pearl; the enviable pair at the time was so ordinary. The sad thing is not their ordinary, but his unwillingness to be ordinary, living in the self-sigh of thinking that he made a wrong choice.
What would you do if you had to live again? Maybe it will be the same as it is now, because it is fate, but it is also fate determined by free will.
Now I also feel 17 again, full of energy and sunny.
(I watched this movie for almost 10 hours. I watched the disc borrowed from the school, and watched the Chinese subtitles + an online English subtitle. I learned both Cantonese and English, and then I found that translation is really important, especially for this A lighthearted and humorous film, many of the jokes may not be heard if it is not for mother tongue. Poor translation will always make people inexplicable.
A few online translation mistakes:
1. Ned: You good on the Captain?
O'Donell: I 'm good on the Captain.
Online translation: Are you still the head of the family?
Actually Captain is the brand of cereal they are eating.
2. The meaning is almost reversed
Janitor : High school star. Never quite lived up to your potential Online
translation: Never quite lived up to your potential is that maybe, in certain situations, a four-hour erection isn't such a terrible thing. Okay. Next up. Hours of homework remain effortless. Well, next. In fact, from O'Donell to the company, the picture is explaining that the company is a pharmaceutical company, and the company's advertisements in the conference room are advertisements for drugs produced by the company, which seem to be "big tonic pills". And this sentence actually means "the company wants to make a drug that can give people an erection for 4 hours in a row"...)
