"Rough Diamond": Good luck and trick people, don't do it again

A very cool movie. However, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is the biggest will of Oscar.

The reason why I personally feel that it is not as good as the clown is that it loses in the red and green color scheme, the neon electronic soundtrack, and the constant quarrels required by the plot. The first half of the plot is not compact enough, so you can watch it while stretching after working out. The second half made me fidgety, especially in the last 20 minutes I watched while holding the hat of my sweater. I feel that as an audience, my state is very similar to the temperament of this movie: the first 80% of the careful calculations are for the final gamble.

The ending is very sad, but the sigh can make people think. Sandler maintained a stubborn posture from beginning to end, tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, so he was in a hurry. The shooting angle in the film is from the crack of the door to the monitor screen, from the reaction of passers-by to the perspective of God. As viewers, we seem to be constantly switching between movie roles and laughing at this hilarious and petty gambler who is insanely insane.

For the starring Adam Sandler, three points, as the first self-subverting work, is already a great success: acting online, it doesn't have to be a comedy. sigh, I wish it wasn't Gao Xiaosong's girlfriend, otherwise, on the day of the Oscar nomination for Best Actor, if I sat on Curator Gao's lap, I would have shouted Sandler when joker appeared.

For the directors Safdie brothers, they once again used restrained close-ups, psychedelic electronic music, overlapping quarrels, and tense rhythms, which made people want to dive, pogo, and vomit under the live house stage fragrance. It can be said that the two brothers have used mature and sophisticated techniques to make this kind of audio-visual and drama from non-mainstream to mainstream. The subject matter is not old-fashioned, and the picture is very grainy, but the interpretation of the characters is a bit too forceful.

Finally, advertised: If you think the clown looks depressing, this one will be even more depressing...

    The movie is too noisy, but I admire the male protagonist very much. It is amazing that he can live a messy life "in good order". The movie is also very magical, as if it summed up the chaotic red dust in a high degree, with meager profits and very busy work. Garnett is a surprise, admire the screenwriter, plus half a star.
