The background is Chen Qizhen's "Flight of the Loser", and in front of it is the first page of the notebook of her shorthand impressions of watching the film..
About six months ago, for various reasons can only see a link to the movie but could not see, skim through the next film critic introduction, the first reaction is that it would be an anti-war black comedy.
Now I'm going to say, it's a very "small" movie, but it's huge because of a mascot with a big head, and it's huge and cute, and it's huge.
Kabluey, this is a combination word that makes people unable to translate, it reads like a very funny syllable, such a helpless mascot name belongs to a real estate called BlueNexion, which is almost abandoned due to poor management. It is located in A sparsely populated town, this town always feels empty, supermarkets, streets, highways, everywhere are sparsely populated. The reason why all these backgrounds are ignored by people is largely due to the bright colors. In the presence of highly saturated colors (especially the sky blue mascot), no one will think how desolate this town is, and how ridiculous such a small town is.
Ridiculous is something we can all find, like Salman's fat lady boss, like Lincoln who hums and talks to his brother forever, like that babbling woman on the bus, like that beautiful supermarket girl who never sleeps Sleeping female cashiers, some of these characters are as dull as Salman, while others are diametrically "lively", lest the world know, these ridiculous characters are either because of their status or because of money. Except for the boss of BlueNexion, in fact, No one is really rich, so they treat life with their own strange words and deeds, or in a numb way honed by life.
Because of the lack of subtitles, I didn't understand why no one was willing to work on this blue mascot, maybe because the barren land was too exaggerated, and a beautiful building as huge as the Pentagon had less than 10 employees waiting for the business inside. Come to rent an office, but we all saw that when Salman became a cute blue mascot with no expression and helplessness, standing on the highway with few vehicles, a little blue under the dusky sky, in With his head drooping and motionless under the dazzling sunlight, Salman often fell into a sluggish state as usual. A small person in life has completely turned into a doll forgotten by the world. When the huge blue mascot is in the shape of a huge "big" character, the boss directly expresses it when he comes over and says are you alive? In any case, Salman is the person who was branded as a loser in the movie. Everything he does is not mainstream with ordinary people's lives, but in the end, he saves his brother's love. The blue mascot represents innocence and justice. The dirty world declares war and wins.
The episode where the blue mascot and the cheese man attacked the cheating man and woman was really high enough. The two huge mascots rushed into the small motel room, photographed a pair of men and women who wanted to hide the rules, and frightened them fiercely. Then the heroine shows up, and she also has an unspoken rule with her boss, her husband is at war in Iraq, she has two naughty screaming children, and she has no life. At this time, the conflict between reality and short-lived fantasies, real people and dolls, is nakedly displayed, and then, the Iraq war.
The part of Leslie's confession to Salman cleverly used the scene of the talk show. The background was strongly blurred behind the characters. Leslie was a bit like being interviewed, telling how worried he was and how helpless he was having an affair. , Fear of losing her husband made her life a mess, at this time, the family portraits and front-line news reports that appeared many times finally merged with "people", and the high-frequency President Bush was pushed to the cusp.
The music in the whole film is quite brisk, and the rhythm follows the changes of the plot. Most of them are easy pop rock. The absurd plot makes the whole film into a huge MV. There are emotions, emotions, and political satire. , as well as humanistic care. The most characteristic of the MV is the soundtrack used by Salman on the way to catch a rape in a mascot costume. With the many smiling faces on the road, the simple and happy form of the movie is pushed to the highest point.
I believe many people love this movie because the design of the blue mascot is too cute, cute sky blue, cute material, cute big head, cute wobbly, cute dull way of speaking..... .As long as it appears, everyone will be happy, no matter how absurd the story is, sadly the world inside and outside the shell is different, in this blue body, Salman is a popular character, even a spy No one will notice, and taking off this layer of shell, he is an odd person who is discriminated against and guarded against, and is also a typical distant family figure. On the photo wall, the photo of him and his brother is posted in the most corner. , In the photo, he looked at the camera sluggishly, while his brother, Noa, the husband of the heroine Leslie, greeted others indifferently, so military wives, ignorant children, neurotic little people, and clerks chasing fame and fortune, Such a group of people has become the main body of this world. It can be said that the whole story is a very absurd comedy, not a formality. The sports car with the number MINE shows off that its owner can unspoken rules for any female staff, including the one on the bus. The gushing woman, the cashier's Polaroid filming dirty deeds in muted colors, the eccentric old man who treats a plastic space cup as a treasure, can't help but say that this movie has a little influence on "Amelie". The meaning of a small tribute is that the bitterness at the end is far greater than the recognition of the little people.
Noa came back from the battle, happily reunited with his family, only the children noticed Salman's departure, Cameron and Lincoln fought, reluctantly taught by their mother and hugged each other and said sorry, friends forever.
Maybe they don't understand now , maybe by the time they understand, they have no chance to say so.
