Still Tim Roth - the hero in "the legend of 1900". This man is good at playing a fringe character. His signature action is to bow his back, and he still has a child-like expression on his face. Tim roth has a very neurotic temperament and should be the best choice to play Van Gogh, and I think he and Van Gogh even have a similar appearance!
The storyline seems absurd and bizarre, but at the end, it can be understood as a "spring dream" of the male protagonist!
In fact, I really liked Coppola's excitement in this movie. From Chinese philosophy (Buddhist reincarnation) to Western philosophy (Freud's interpretation of dreams), from Chinese to ancient Egyptian and even to Maya, we almost reached the source of human language. Obviously Coppola was particularly partial to Eastern philosophy during this period, right? Haha, because this story is a Western version of the story of "Zhuang Zhou Dreaming of Butterflies" from beginning to end. I have never understood the meaning of the three roses in it. Fang said that the rose is the meaning of the announcement, but unfortunately I still can't understand it. Kaka ~ I would rather, rather think of this story as the hero's review of his life, and his dissatisfaction with this life. until the final release. At least that timely lightning kept him from committing suicide (in fact, he didn't want to die), he began to rejuvenate, he did things that he could never imagine, and even relived the love that had passed away. The woman he loved so much, the woman who couldn't be with him because of his other favorite (his academics) fell in love with him again after he returned to youth. In his youth without youth, there were always two contradictions: his love and his academics. He once gave up love for academics, and now, he gave up academics for love, although he still lost the woman he loved in the end. As he said to the heroine: I am destined to lose the person I love most in my life.
When the dream woke up, he went back to the Choice Cafe. Meeting those old friends, at this time, he returned to the old-fashioned appearance at the beginning of the film. And those old friends of his came out one by one in a very weird way, OK! Just these few shots, I began to wonder if this is realistic? Is it realistic? Hehe, which is the reality and which is the dream? OK, the story of Zhuang Zhou Mengdie was put in front of the director again until the end of the film! This is very interesting, the old man died in the snow at the end, and when people found him, his eyes were wide open, exactly the same as when he was struck by lightning at the beginning of the film. His eyes are wide open, can you tell that he is not dreaming? And that gorgeous red rose appeared in his hand again. . .
Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly: In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly, a lifelike butterfly, self-proclaimed to be fit for purpose! I do not know Zhou also. Suddenly feel, then Ququ Ran Zhou also. I don't know that Zhou's dream is Butterfly You, and Butterfly's Dream is Zhou You? Zhou and Butterfly, there must be a difference. This is called materialization.
It is difficult for people to distinguish between reality and dreams exactly! And the actor in the film once said: If my spring dreams and my real life can be reconciled, my life will be much more interesting.
PS: A very interesting movie, a fast-food philosophical feast
