I have been looking forward to the new film of Mr. An for a long time, but the disappointment is greater than the expectation. The whole film is lengthy and a little confusing. The content of the nearly 150 minutes can obviously be compressed into about 100 minutes. The first half of Theo's life in the adoptive family does not need to be filmed so much. The story lines of the two heroines are also It doesn't help the main line of the plot. It is better to change it to a male protagonist + a male supporting role, which can focus on friendship and love at the same time without generating unnecessary side plots. Theo in the film is actually a completely tragic character. His whole life has been entangled by the painting, from childhood to adulthood, from family to friendship to love, no matter how long it takes, "The Goldfinch" The painting and the haze of his mother's death still haunted him for a long time. The Goldfinch in the painting is locked inside the mottled railing, just like Theo outside the painting is locked in the art gallery accident, survived but trapped, and spent the next ten or twenty years of his life. Blaming himself for his mother's death, even if others tell him countless times that it's not your fault, it doesn't help. His strong thoughts about his mother have all turned into self-blame. At the same time, because of the bad influence of his alcoholic father in the outside world, he has Theo, who was hurt by himself, stood out even thinner. It was not until he became an adult that Theo had escaped this extreme self-blame on the surface, but in fact he was still surrounded by everything that the painting represented. Taking out the pills and holding the paintings that were protected by layers of protection, the uncontrollable emotions were released. Missing, self-blame, persistence, regret, cherishing, pain... At the end of the film, Boris finally helped Theo find the real painting, Peace came, and Theo returned to the art gallery when he was a child for the last time, and the best memory was frozen. Before the end of the film, when Theo discovered the truth about the paintings that he had treasured for a long time, the turning point at this time was actually wonderful. Unfortunately, in the end, the screenwriter forcibly arranged the plot that had been suppressed for more than two hours into HE, which was really difficult to agree with. Ps. Finally, let me mention the role of Boris played by Finn as a child. It may be due to the sequelae of "Stranger Things". I really can't accept the role of this prodigal son who smokes and drinks. Why does he play these roles when he is still a child? what! ! ! !
