Three stars can't be more

The driver walked up and down the stage in shorts and a bathrobe like a Raging Bull boxer, singing and talking. The sensitive and violent appearance is really filled with the soul of "Byron"!

The most mentioned opening minutes! Honestly, isn't this the "Bitter Sweet Symphony" mv of my band The Verve from decades ago! ! !

Movies have blended all elements from glam rock to disco to electronics to opera. In fact, this idea is more suitable for presentation in the original concept album, which is really not suitable for movies. Once the freshness of the music disappears when watching the movie, and you get used to its constant repetition and rhetorical means of expression, you will immediately realize the emptiness of the movie.

For a while, the male protagonist fell into metoo's condemnation, and for a while, he and the female protagonist seemed to be in the adventures of Poseidon. I laughed haha, maybe it happened to prove the point that tragedy and comedy are interdependent as the director wanted to express, it is difficult to tell where the end and beginning of the two are.

When you look at the opening and think it is "La La Land", you will find that it is actually the art version of "A Star Is Born". It can also be regarded as a dark repetition of "Marriage Story". There is also a terrifying Pinocchio puppet child like "Annabelle".

When the male protagonist left the stage, his naked ass turned his back to the audience, a completely nihilistic act of contempt. He said he killed the audience.

The heroine bowed gracefully when she left the stage, and died gracefully on the stage every night, surrounded by flowers. She said she saved the audience.

Does the artist's expression want to hurt the audience or save them? The movie splits me for a while, the music part is strong, and what seems to be expressing all the time is the waywardness of "leave the critics ignoring them"! When we go back to the movie itself, it is "continue to create"!

The overall look and feel is really bad, but it doesn't mean it's not worth watching. After all, we don't often see such movies that combine surrealism and progressive rock opera.

    The driver's acting was okay, and the singing really tortured my ears. It is quite difficult for me to connect with Karax. This peculiar style, a white male director from a wealthy area of ​​Paris who likes to ride a motorcycle to pierce the quiet suburbs of Paris in his youth, feels that he will love to talk about a superior literature and art all his life. The white man's narcissistic and kitschy life. When I was young, I was in love, and when I was old, I started to talk about my daughter, but I was still myself after tossing and turning. Even her daughter is not a daughter, but a puppet, very creepy. It's quite outdated and boring, but I never hate Karax, it's really cool, but if you let me drink with such a stubborn old man who refuses to grow old and listen to him, I probably won't either.

    Very strange film, very strange story. The first half reminds me of Synonyms of New York, and then the plot completely spins out of control. Adam Driver's character set the tone for the first time he went crazy on stage: from the director to the actors, no one knew what to express, but the group acted with a strong sense of faith, because they played according to the traditional musical of. (The director and the two leading actors are not sensitive to the melody. I don't know why they chose the form of musical to expose their shortcomings.) As soon as the credits came out, an audience member behind me couldn't wait to say: I'm so confused.
