time, some interest was out of date. The Oscar wave of depressive and heavy blockbusters has long been overwhelmed. I can't breathe. It is
easy to have some super hero movies. Watchman praised but left. It’s the dark route again. I watched Dragon Ball and I was as
worried as I ate a fly. When I didn’t watch a movie recently, GF reminded me that there is still such a play directed and acted by Clint Eastwood.
This weekend, we went to the Grand Cinema to watch
it. I heard that this film has a high score on IMDB
and I have no doubt
about the old man Dongmu's acting skills or director skills, and he must mention the 66-year-old The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. This long-term strongest Western
movie in history dominated the top ten of IMDB TOP250. As some hardcore film critics on IMDB said, if the good guys aside the performance of the old man, the plot and other major factors may even C'era. una volta il West / Once upon a time in the west is less than half of the time,
but it is precisely because of the old man’s performance that the fairy down to the world, there will be so many old man’s idiots who have put the film on the top 10 The location
of...Clint Eastwood back then, did not have the rigidity and dullness of Keanu Reeves, not the creamy flavor like Orlando Bloom, but a collection of Tom Cruise’s handsomeness and a little cloth Rad Pitt’s wildness
said that he starred in Blondie / The Good is the most handsome cowboy in history. It’s not an exaggeration at all.
Unexpectedly, the old man’s directorial skills are not inferior
to his face that is still full of heroic spirit. What is hidden is a wise and profound heart full of life accumulation
Not to mention the old movies, since this century, Mystic River/Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima,
until this year’s Oscar’s popular candidate for children /Changeling, and now this Gran Torino, are all rave reviews.
His movie has a deep interpretation of life and death, a dedication to glory and faith, a pursuit of justice and love, and a life Endless bitterness and resistance, with ruthless exposure
to the dark side of history and society. It can be said that almost every one is a muffled blow to the psychology and a sharp torture to the soul.
The same is true of this "classic car".
Clint Eastwood plays the film is a return from the Korean war veterans
in because the war has changed the old man's life
he became very withdrawn, irritable, almost impossible to get along with others, including their children
in the film At the beginning, after his wife passed away, the situation worsened. The
old man lived alone in an old
community. Most of the white residents in the community had moved out, replaced by black people. The
old Mexican and Asian old man himself is a very Conservative racists
because of the war made him even more disgusted by the yellow skin from Asia,
but next to him lived a family of Hmong people (Hmong or Mong in English, here is not a narrowly referring to the Miao people in China, but It is a general term that includes all the Hmong in Southeast Asia, such as Vietnam and Laos. For details, see http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%8B%97%E6%97%8F ) The
stubborn and withdrawn old man and the family next door A touching cause for people began....
The following are serious spoilers part, do not like do depends on `-`
middle of the film development process do not want to spend too many words to describe, because I want to share that feeling with regard to the end
because it is a reason to go to the cinema to see, it is impossible to Write down all the details; this is not the same as the DVD version that can be viewed repeatedly on the computer when writing a film review. Some things may be missed,
so I can only write something that impresses me the most. The
old man hates Asians. I have mentioned
it above , but in fact, is this disgust as simple as it seems? Just because he was a pure racist, then he went to Asia to fight a disastrous American war?
From his readme film post, in fact, it can be seen
the kind of disgust, from his own guilt
that he killed himself because a lot of Asians in the Korean War (may also have volunteers), of which there are already ready to surrender teen
this The memory of a twisted crime lingered in his heart, like a boundless shadow covering the rest of his life.
He could not forgive himself until finally,
but he vented this repressive pain to the North Koreans who were actually the victims. who
probably hate relationship between the house and the black of it, anyway, the old man could not tell the difference between Asians, simply all those who have yellow skin into his blacklist
to see his son bought a Toyota car, a few work at Ford The ten-year old man was so angry that he
saw the yellow-skinned people who moved into the house next door . The old man would not hesitate to use the most ugly discriminatory words to curse these outsiders who disturbed his peace (actually, it caused the old wounds in his heart). Huh?)
After that, the Hmong gang appeared
next door, the younger son Thao, who was forced to steal the Gran Torino, a vintage car produced in 72
that the old man cherished, in the middle of the night. Although he failed in the end, this naturally aroused the old man’s hatred of the family next door.
However, by chance, the old man saved Thao who was entangled by the gang and his sister Sue.
Although it was not out of sympathy or justice
at all, the Miao people in the community respect him as a hero.
Sue even more enthusiastically invited the old man to participate.
The ice in the heart of the old party man in their family , or the hatred and hatred towards Asians, because of these warm and friendly Hmong people, slowly melted away
the friendly interaction between the old man in the middle of the movie and the next door, and the teaching of Thao (this paragraph is very Funny-v-) makes people full of warmth.
Just as Sue said, the old man is actually a very good person, but the war a few decades ago closed the old man’s heart to the outside, and he no longer opens his heart to other people.
The sense of guilt made the old man more withdrawn, keeping him away from all people, including his relatives,
but the “forced” intervention of two Asian children made the old man’s world brighter again, he regained his laughter, and he regained hope for
him. He even offered to let Thao drive his cherished classic car to date with another girl.
However, the bad news followed.
First of all, the old man smoked all the year round.
Although the deterioration of lung cancer did not clearly appear in the medical report, the old man The coughing up of blood from time to time made the truth come to light.
Then, it was the gang's constant harassment of Thao that finally made the old
man unable to sit still. He impulsively went to teach one of the young gangsters, and instead caused the gang to take revenge on
Thao’s home. Thao was injured in the random shooting, and more seriously, Sue was arrested, and only released after being ravaged.
All of this forced the old man to make a choice, which is the
messy gunfire that everyone saw in the ending. sounded, the old man fell to the ground
a great silence
I felt GF side of the hand over his mouth
.
.
.
In fact, this end, before many viewers might have guessed that the
old man knew much time, lung cancer soon took his own life
with its painful death on a hospital bed, it is better as a glorious warrior general, in order to protect their treasure Thing and died on the battlefield.
This is actually the same as the previous Golden Globe Award for Best Actor
that exasperated wrestler, he was also threatened by a heart attack, but for his dignity and glory, he still chose to die on his own battlefield-
a proud man on the wrestling field did this at the end of his life. This choice makes people heart-wrenching, but at the same time obeying his fearless spirit and will
not let Thao go with him. The truth is actually very simple: I am going to die; secondly, more importantly, I can’t.
It may seem simple to let this child ruin his life because of a momentary mistake , but when you think about it carefully, it is a very educational
Star Wars prequel that Anakin was lost to the Force. The dark side, and the
so-called dark side of the Force that eventually fell , can be simplified, and it is human negative emotions,
hatred, hatred, fear, wild bloodthirsty impulses triggered by strong vengeance, and so on
. Teenagers, because they simply let their sanity annihilate under the control of negative emotions, they have done things that they regret for a lifetime.
In fact, the movie can be described as the old man taking Thao to revenge, and finally he and the other party die together, and Thao The
reason why the surviving director, Clint Eastwood, did not do this was to tell all the fresh-spirited young people through this movie that violence does not solve all problems
. The brave and fearless old man who fell in the gunfire of gang members Compared with the cowardly murderers, it seems so tall and admirable.
Moreover, I think the reason why the old man chose to die under the hands of these Hmong gangs is
also because he died under him decades ago. those Asians atonement means that
when the old man before dying, slowly pick a chest pocket lighter, he said: i got the light, i got the light.
pun, really makes the viewer feel at the moment the elderly Is a symbol of light
And the last words he said before he was shot, may the Lord forgive me for my sins, maybe at this moment the old man’s tortured soul has finally been detached.
Finally, I really have this feeling. This is a game that promotes violence. and slap a movie in mind fiercely
it tells us that there is a great man like Clint Eastwood, the environment has a foul in trying to use their meager strength to promote some of the good and the beautiful things
and in two At the end of the hour’s movie, selfless and great love is shown to the audience in a silt but not stained posture, shining like a phoenix nirvana, burning everyone’s heart, and
a sublimated positive force that fills the entire theater at
this moment. Clint Eastwood’s old singing voice slowly sounded...Oh McGao, it’s great.
All the audience is
Gran Torino who sits there and listens to the ending song before getting up and leaving . This year’s must-see movies, men must-see movies, absolutely. Competing for the Oscar level
and Clint Eastwood, at this moment, has turned into the most handsome old man in the world in my heart...
