The passion melts, infects my heart

In the film industry, there are often expressions such as "the girl next door" and "the boy next door" about the feeling of an actor. Such actors usually do not have to be very good, but they must give the audience a sense of intimacy and A sense of resonance. Paul Giamatti is older, but he still gives people a sense of intimacy, even as a white westerner, it seems to me that he still remembers the image of a troubled middle-aged man who may be around, maybe we should call him "neighbor." Uncle." In "Barney's Life", Paul Giamatti once again played a role in his old age, which still makes people feel kind and real. He makes people feel lovely and pitiful, with a sigh, Ni's life gives people infinite emotions, how much love can be repeated, once had, cherished, squandered, and finally died with the body, the story left some faint sadness, but it gave people a pure and warm moving.

From the perspective of Barney's emotional process, this film may also be called "Barney's Three Marriages", but it is not accurate, because the first two marriages are more like a rehearsal and foreshadowing for the third true love. A manifestation of Ni's character. In the first marriage, Barney seemed a little impulsive, and he felt inexplicable. He married with some sympathy and let nature go, and soon discovered some irritating truths, and he was separated from his wife by accident. In this marriage, Barney was still in a period of swaying, daring to think and act, acting recklessly, and at the same time showing his kindness. The first marriage was obviously more of a mental injury to him, so during his career, he seemed to have gone through the second marriage hastily. This marriage did not have a good result. friend. In this marriage, Barney seems a bit philistine and selfish. Although the day of marriage was a spiritual infidelity, and later on, it was a touching relationship, but from the beginning of this marriage, he still seemed so irresponsible, a little indifferent. He brought a woman he didn't love into marriage, cheated in spirit and action, and fought with his wife. This is an image of a morally flawed, but very real middle-aged man. At this time, he has a successful career and marriage is more like a routine procedure at this age. As a result, men in this state often have to live by their unhappy marriages, but when they encounter some emotional temptations, some people often start to walk out of the existing track of life in the entanglement. Of course, Barney's derailment is even more dramatic.

The third marriage is based on a true love from Barney. This is a love story full of romance and surreal processes, not to mention that the interpretation of such a love story in the image of Paul Giamatti is even more special. Feel. Barney's recklessness and impulsiveness in this process are once again vividly displayed. This "unsteadiness" will hurt some people, but it does bring him a true love that will be remembered for a lifetime. But Barney's old problem quickly reoccurred, that is, he always squandered the good things in life after passion. Barney in this process makes people feel a little excessive, but it is a kind of excessive, because the elements of a middle-aged man's self-troubling and annoying others are fully expressed by Barney, and this process is very natural, There is no such thing as a blunt contrivance that puts all the problems on one person. Barney's selfishness, conceit, lack of self-confidence, jealousy, and worrying about gains and losses all make it feel like this guy is going to ruin another marriage. And he did, and the process was so self-conscious and sloppy.

The film begins with a flashback of Barney in his later years, and a mysterious old man's accusation of "criminal" against Barney makes the film somewhat suspenseful at the beginning. Barney, a successful but mean TV personality, is also a criminal with an unbearable history, and the so-called "Version" in the title of the film may also have a meaning. The film follows Barney's memories of his life. Unfolding is indeed a "version" of Barney's interpretation of his life. Barney's life went from reminiscence to reality, from recalling the past to being unable to remember the present. Barney's illness brought the film to another rhythm. If in the beginning for a long time, all we see are the ups and downs of life, then the last part of the film is more like an emotional process. In the last 20 minutes or so, with constant outbursts of small emotions and constant details, Barney's life situation can be described as a sharp downturn from the perspective of personal health and career, but from an emotional perspective, it brings a period of self-salvation and compensation. , Finally, Barney and the woman he loves pick up the bits and pieces of the past again. Maybe the kind of love that ends with marriage can't come, but it has brought Barney the peace of the last moments of his life. This contrast of body and emotion, one downward and one upward, brings the audience some aftertaste. What should be cherished and grasped in life, Barney's life also brings us a very comfortable aftertaste.

After watching the film, I still can't forget a part of the film for a long time. Barney, who has already begun to remember his ex-wife in the video, picks up the phone and thinks for a while, and suddenly bursts into smashing things. When his daughter panicked and persuaded him to be quiet , he said the reason in frustration: "I can't remember your mother's phone number." At this moment, Barney's helplessness has explained everything. In his life, what is most cherished is also what he cherishes the most. What, at this moment, the passion melted and infected my heart.

    "I didn't give up at that time, and I won't now." In 2011, when it was released in theaters, the best movie I've ever seen, from the beginning of laughter, to the end of the whole theater is sobbing... so poignant and moving. "Even if I forget everything, I will still remember the moment I fell in love with you at first sight." The male and female protagonists are perfect. You're going to love this movie, for sure.
