Life is fuzzy - I watch The Weatherman

"The Weatherman" is my favorite Cage movie, and it's a story about how a man deals with all kinds of pressures and burdens in his life. There is no definite beginning and no definite end. The whole movie is to show us this success, the weatherman who has many "fans" (why are fans called quotation marks? Because the biggest hobby of these fans is to throw milkshakes and apple pie on Cage) in life. of various problems. But I inexplicably like the weatherman Duff, who is very successful at work but a mess in life. He only had a dollar a day, and when his dad told him to buy a newspaper, he bought coffee. When I gave my child pocket money, I found that I only had a few dollars on me, and taught my daughter to shoot arrows. This middle-aged man who has many trivial problems in his life fascinates me because this is life as it is.
There are no bizarre plots in this kind of life; no earth-shattering things happen; no world needs him to save, no eye-catching actions; there is just Cage's melancholy, with some tired and low-key eyes, his eyes still have Mixed with the helplessness and innocence of a baby, the relief-like face is mixed with the tender youth and the vicissitudes of the trance.

This ordinary middle-aged man faced the dual pressures of family and career in an ordinary winter. His father was seriously ill, his wife had just broken up, his son was being disciplined for taking drugs, and his daughter did not seek improvement. In the eyes of his wife and daughter, he gradually After being looked down upon...

and so on, Duff started to look at life again and take it seriously. He gradually balances the troubles and misfortunes in his life with his heart, and slowly finds out the truth of continuing his life no matter what. He began to live actively, began to communicate with his son, cultivated his daughter's interest, motivated his daughter, took her to go shopping, shopping, games, participating in various social activities, and fostering family relationships, and his life changed quietly.

I liked this movie maybe because the version I watched had a better picture, so I really liked the background and colors of this movie, the beautiful winter, the cold city of Chicago. There are also several intriguing episodes, such as Duff's speech, a family reunion, learning to archery, and walking in the park with a bow and arrow. Passers-by throw milkshakes and apple pie on the side of the road, meet my father, and broadcast the weather every day. It seems this weatherman is trying to make a difference in his life.

At the end of the movie, Duff gets the job of a weather forecaster for Good Morning America. Give his life a new start. He also began to manage his work and life with heart. He's back on TV with his trademark smile, as if all problems are gone, and the weather in Chicago is extraordinarily better. But the film does not explain whether Duff will have new problems in the future. Whether his life will be happy or not, all this requires us, the audience, to find their own answers in life. . . . . .

It is worth mentioning that the director of this "Weatherman" is Gore Verbinski, who directed "Pirates of the Caribbean". Davis (Duff's wife), Michael Caine (Duff's father). There are also quite memorable posters.

Only friends who like to watch literary films can go and watch it, because the feeling of this film will make many viewers who only watch Hollywood blockbusters fall asleep

    "In the adult world, there is no easy word" "In this shit life, there are some things that must be forgotten, and must be forgotten to survive."

The Weather Man quotes

  • Dave Spritz: Always fast food. Fast food. Things that people would rather throw out than finish. It's easy, it tastes all right, but it doesn't really provide you any nourishment. I'm fast food.

  • Dave Spritz: The first time I was struck with something, a chicken breast from Kenny Rogers. I was standing next to a garbage pail. I thought it might've been an accident, that they were throwing it out. The second time, it hit me square on the chin, a soft taco. Then, pop. A falafel. McNuggets. Always fast food. Fast food. Shit people would rather throw out than finish. It's easy. It tastes all right, but it doesn't really provide you any nourishment
