The feeling of this movie, in a word, the emotion is all in the details.
When I first watched this movie, I was a bit stunned to be honest, and it was not clear what the director wanted to express. It was neither a purely ethical movie nor a thorough theme. The driver, Havana, Benjay, and Agatha seem to have a plot connection, but it is indeed too redundant to use a purely narrative approach. Later, I went to see the interview with the director David, only to understand the director's intentions bit by bit, and found that the whole story and characters are so full. I also talk about my views from two aspects.
What is Hollywood
David's film cover work in Hollywood boldly reveals the status quo of Hollywood and is too realistic. Moreover, I have to admire the director for how to show multiple aspects of Hollywood in a movie. Private car drivers represent thousands of young actors who have come to chase their dreams. In order to dream, they insist on writing scripts and interviews in Hollywood, but they have to make a living as a private car driver. This is the most true portrayal of ordinary actors in Hollywood. When Gaza first came, the first question asked the driver was which stars you had driven. The private car driver asked her if she wanted a star map with the address of each star on it, as if she was used to it. This is a typical tourist mentality. When you first enter Hollywood, you are full of prosperous eyes. There are only famous actors and blockbusters with a box office of billions. Ben Jie is an accomplished Hollywood child star since he was a child. At the same time with countless praises, he can also see the drawbacks brought to him by being famous since he was a child. He was arrogant to his agent, and a group of child stars began to take drugs at a young age. His mouth was full of foul language, and he held a gun casually against him. His head presses the trigger, which is a manifestation of a child's childishness and mental insufficiency. However, Havana, more like an actor who represents a passing life, still has to fight at the end of his career, but unconsciously becomes indifferent and terrifying. For the role you want, you can 3P with the producer. When she learned that the child of the woman who took her role was drowned, her reaction was to cheer for the opportunity to regain the role. The desire for materialism has already made him Completely indifferent to life. The seemingly glamorous Hollywood is actually riddled with defects. While people are suffering all kinds of misfortunes, they have to silently endure his rules of the game. This reminds me of Ge You's "Big Name", the director Taylor asked You You what the Forbidden City is in your eyes. He said that the emperor has many beautiful women, and he can change one every day without spending money or raising them in the court. He is very happy. But how can the intrigue in the deep palace compound, the palace life soaked in the yellow of money and the red of blood, be understood by the people outside the wall?
What is human nature
What the film focuses on shows us the lives of the Benjas and Havana. This is a wonderful life that most people can't ask for. After all, so rich, it looks like a shadow of success everywhere. The movies starring Benjie at a young age have earned more than 800 million at the box office, and he may make more money than many people make in a lifetime. But in life, he can't hide his naivety and ignorance, and what he adds is the indifference that shouldn't be at this age. At the beginning of the movie, Benjie went to visit his fans, but he couldn't tell what kind of illness his fans got. He just simply said whether he could give her an iPad, which felt more like a kind of charity. Later, when he discovered that he was robbed of the limelight by a supporting role, he was even more angry and ran to the toilet to block him, which was obviously a child's approach. Let’s look at Agatha again. After learning that her parents were brothers and sisters who had married incestuously, she burned the mansion and ran away from home in anger, but returned to Hollywood to find the warmth of the family, trying to compensate her family. It looked like a kind of Very strange but pitiful behavior. But her own crazy dance and the final act of "marrying" with her brother, it is not difficult to see the distortion of her heart. She is a victim of incest and is also a flashpoint for this abnormal relationship. Father Sanford is a psychiatrist, and he can always give fair opinions to vulnerable patients, but his mental illness is actually more serious. The first is the incest relationship. We don't know whether they were found to be brothers and sisters when they got married, but he can't face this relationship squarely, and always hopes to solve the problem by avoiding it. The second is the feelings for my daughter, Also choose the most rude and most evasive way. People cannot heal themselves. How can they heal others? Finally, it is Havana, which appears in the storyline as a tie. She lived in the shadow of her mother since she was a child, and was violated by her mother, but she was also bound by her mother's reputation and status. She forced herself to vent and accept those painful experiences, but her heart was still insurmountable. The gap. In this movie, I think the image of Havana is the most real and full. Having been oppressed by her respected mother for a long time, her inner resistance is actually not a decisive and firm one. She even hopes that she has not experienced this before, and that her mother can suddenly accept her tolerantly, so she really wants to play the role her mother once played, to better accept the past. This is a kind of resistance, but in fact, it also has a kind of begging. , And this power of resistance also manifests itself as a procrastinating, weak pull. This imaginary and unbreakable fetter is fully reflected in this movie. The director also uses a surrealist way of writing to make the inner devil substantiate, but it appears more real in the false performance. Everyone has their own invisible injuries in their hearts. People grow up in this kind of suffering. What to do? The movie doesn’t tell us, life doesn’t tell us, but without any subjective presentation, often The most vivid.
