The best actor cheated even himself.

I feel that the name translation of the Hong Kong version is more relevant, and the etiquette is true and false. This story is full of true and false, deliberately disturbing people's judgment in understatement. I was almost led into Bernie's side like people in town.
Bernie is a person who makes people feel novel. His ideas, his various ideas, make me, a person who looks at the world harshly, feel incredible. He can sincerely and actively put in a job that may only be described as "special". He is willing to spend his thoughts on getting along with those old women who are chattering and confused, and he always treats every deceased sincerely. Hope to help them finish the last second of this world with dignity.
But I don't want to be led by such a tender beginning. I always think in my heart that there must be a turning point in the plot, and he must have its ulterior side. I always feel that as I described at the beginning, such a warm person must not be able to survive in this world. Sure enough, I still found out that every time I saw Bernie sell all kinds of past products to those old people, like all advertising masters, he tried his best to promote the most profitable products. Can't help but cheer, look, there are no cats that don't eat fishy, ​​people are still greedy.
So when the richest old widow appeared, I knew Bernie would definitely act, and he would definitely not let her go. I just watched Bernie's performance calmly and incredible. What's calm is that he is as diligent to the old widow as I guessed, and it is incredible that even though I am so convinced of human greed, I still can't believe that there are people in this world who really live for the so-called benefits. Although at that time, Bernie argued in the movie that "she is not that bad, she needs other people's care." The fact is that the movie seems to have quietly opened the second curtain, I was slowly moved by him, he really is like that Take care of the old widow who is jealous and bossy. Even if he couldn't bear it in the end, he was still willing to continue, so after seeing him shooting her four shots, I hoped very badly, yes, let the facts be overwhelmed. Bernie is really nice. The old widow is really pregnant. I am like everyone in that town, hoping that Bernie will be innocent. It wasn't until the prosecutor's questioning on the trial bench that I was able to wake up. Yes, he killed a person. If he was sentenced lightly or even escaped, he would encourage many lawless people to embark on such a path of no return. It's not that Bernie was forced to endure too much, because he was insane. He obviously had a choice. Even if the gate was closed and he could not drive out, he could still get out of the car and climb out. If he really wanted to escape, it would be difficult to escape. He just doesn’t want to escape. He has enjoyed the rich charm around the old widow. He is obsessed with the so-called upper class and does not want to escape. Even though he is very unhappy, he still feels that it can provide him after all. The source of all kinds of happy enjoyment. His four shots were actually all the darkness hidden deep in his heart. He said aggrieved that he didn't know why he shot wildly suddenly. I can't help but admire that this is the best actor and deceive myself. The final imprisonment party was the correct sentence, and the greed and disguise of human nature suddenly appeared at that moment, in broad daylight.
Maybe everyone in this world is an actor, trying to play a certain role, trying to hide certain ideas that they don’t want to tell others. Sometimes, these ideas are so latent that we will mistakenly think that there is no such thing. idea.
I still have to complain about this movie. It should have tried its best to express its deeper things. It should have become a profound movie, rather than abruptly stopped.

    Linklater's films are all chattering. This is like a weird novel. It is a pity that the tension in the drama suddenly weakened after Bernie was caught. The clothes and music are good. Bernie's clothes are light green and light blue at the beginning, and then they are black and gray. The clothes, sofas and the whole town of the old ladies are unwittingly gorgeous, which makes people feel beautiful and beautiful. It's weird. It's really good for a fat man to sing. The failure is the poster, I almost missed this one just by looking at the poster

    This method of presenting pseudo-records is very special. The parties and the interviewees are interspersed with each other. The former constitutes objective subjectivity, and the latter constitutes subjective objectivity. However, Linklater's subjective attitude is obviously biased towards Bernie, although he has tried his best to be objective. . By the way, there is a legal issue that can be discussed. This kind of trial in the United States, which avoids the pressure of public opinion, is also a reference for the Chinese dynasty. Jack's performance is rare and restrained, very good

Bernie quotes

  • Townsperson: I wrote the warden a letter. Yeah, I did. I told him that he had to give you a work release or something like that, so that you could sing at my funeral. Now, I'm not sick or anything, but now Bernie, you promised me that you would do that. And I totally mean wear those lil' chains or whatever if it made them feel better, so...

    Bernie Tiede: That is awful sweet, Lenora. And it would be an honor, but don't count on it. I don't think they're letting me out of here for nothing.

    Townsperson: Oh pfft... sure they will. I told him that you went temporarily insane. And we're all going insane sooner or later.
