As a fan who has been infatuated with Dolan for a long time, this film has been treasured until the Beijing Film Festival before being willing to watch it. The impact of the big screen is really powerful. Ninety minutes is like only half of the broadcast. At the end, I can't believe the time will be so fast.
Personally, I think Dolan's skills are still so strong, and the expression of grief and despair in the family that is hard to tell and even subconsciously dares to admit is heart-pounding. There is always a problem of incompatibility between the individual and the collective. The intimate relationship generated by blood and union, while bringing love, will also hurt more cruelly.
A lot of people may think the whole thing is a neurotic quarrel, but this is family. We can never know that our words will pierce our family's heart, because deep down we don't care. Family is not only a warm harbor, but also a tragedy of mutual torture. Because of the closeness, I think you should understand and forgive me, but in fact, the other party also thinks the same way, so the ending is to use the mouth as a weapon, even violence, to come here. You want to win in the struggle, suspicion and grievances. In the end there will always be a compromise, but there will be no winner because everyone's heart is scarred.
The last outbreak in my family left me breathing hard, my heart racing, and I felt motion sickness. At that moment, I suddenly understood Uncle Ba's evaluation after Lan Lan won the award: "Actually, a movie is like a train. If you jump on this train, you will experience an unknown journey, and if you don't get on the train, then You're just watching this movie. And I got on this train and was completely overwhelmed by the actors' performances. It was the first time I saw Dolan's movie and I didn't know what to do with it. I just got on this train and never left. ."
Thanks Dolan for putting me on this train, dizzy and heart palpitations boiling.
