Sean Penn's role is really the kind of character actor would dream of. It's no wonder that Clint Eastwood was so excited that he almost played it himself. Fortunately, he didn’t really take care of it all. It’s not that I discriminated against the old man, but that character is still the most suitable for young, middle-aged, and Penn’s performance is very good-coupled with his "still obviously remaining hurricane youth muscle traces and gradually began to get blessed." The body of a middle-aged man who is deformed but not so fat that it loses fierce strength" actually looks so perfect, which taught me whether to look fascinated. Tim Robbins is quite satisfactory. It is difficult for him to play prominently and innovatively in his role. It’s that Kevin Bacon doesn’t fit in with the taste of the whole movie. I don’t know how he was found in the first place; the woman who played his wife failed to cast the role — yes, that’s just a small and small role, but since she has to go back in the end Explaining her, there should be a strong reason to go back specifically, but it turned out that there was no.
These are also the two main weaknesses that I think Eastwood directed this film: 1. The portrayal of female characters is superficial (I can almost see Zhenggang Superman behind the camera and don’t know where to start with women. Confused), 2. Not concise enough. Telling a story in a slow pace is one thing, but it does not mean that the narrative cannot be clean and tidy. I have found that many directors who are "abstracted halfway" often have this problem. There are too many things to talk about, and they can't let go of the cumbersome details, so the mirroring and editing are always not refreshing and smooth. But overall, Eastwood's results are really good, especially so relentlessly directly showing each star (at least the male star, he still maintains a slightly overwhelmed polite manner to the actress) in the rough, life, and people. Texture: Penn’s chicken-skinned neck, Laurence Fishburne’s scarred face, Robbins’ head mixed with gray and messy hair-although I also know that it is probably the masterpiece of a hair stylist (not to mention a lighter, The makeup artist does not hide evil and promotes good in reverse operation), but the effect of not evasive and whitewashed in the whole film is very obvious, especially when you think that this is still a mainstream Hollywood production, such a "refreshing" picture is quite commendable.
