Floyd said. Everyone is sick.
This is a very spoiler movie. With such a name, the natural plot is cliché. After all, it’s still a commercial film, and I still don’t dare to put too much mental burden in it. After watching it, some people think that it’s normal to find no sustenance. It’s not illegal to call a commercial film a tangled literary name.
The overall narrative is clear and smooth, and the structure is fairly compact.
The feature of this film is that it has depth, but it is shallow.
The beginning is pleasant, those montages are well cut, and I like to take it slow and methodical. By the way, openings like City of God made me really uncomfortable.
As mentioned above, there are too many clichés in this film. However, it is one of the reasons why I am more optimistic about it that I can connect so many clichés without any leakage, and the connection looks pretty.
A multi-faceted and contradictory psychiatrist with drug needs (the character says he is not a drug addict), a father of the same profession and bound to be wise, a film company manager with a clean obsessive-compulsive disorder, a popular male star who dreams of asteroid movies and is entangled in his heart. An angry and depressed actress, a down-and-out writer, a hard-working surrogate secretary, a depressed high school girl who collects movie tickets, and an alcoholic old man who is addicted to sex.
You will find that any two of them can have a story with two stereotypes. This is the first time I've come across it (off topic, it's also the first movie I've seen where almost all of the cast and crew say f*ck).
The screenwriter skillfully combined their abnormal psychology with the same abnormal psychiatrist, and they can still be so abnormally stable. It does take some work. So I think it deserves four stars for this.
The theme and protagonist are not unique but still have some thoughts.
The director may think that the audience who is used to seeing straightforwardness has no brains, and the film starts directly to the point, that is, the conversation between Carter and his father. It's like you've stabbed someone and you have to tell them, buddy, here's where the blood spews. In fact, Carter is not a lost person. He feels that his profession needs to be more sober than anyone, at least his patients. How could he allow his friends and relatives to remind and warn of his vulnerability and his helplessness.
so. The words he said to his father in that scene,
"we were searching for someone, someone had to be resscued. We finally found him, it was me. i was the one drowning, but i was also on the boat."
It was his obvious restlessness and struggle. Exposing too bluntly, of course, is where the depth of this movie rises.
An interesting detail. When Carter was on the show, he said,
"don't buy this book, it's all bullshit."
If I say that, I'm very financially savvy, and I know human frailties. If you think about it, of course you have to read the bullshit written by LA's top star-level psychiatrist. This unintentionally boosted sales of his book.
There are also great things about the characters.
That little writer's image was more successful and more traditional, so it's no surprise. But when he was soaking in the little pregnant secretary of the cleanliness manager, the confession he said:
"i really like you, and i don't have any money or insurance or valid credit card or any of those things, but i'll help you take care of this baby.i will do whatever it takes.i'll step up a big time."
Although they went straight to the car for their love action after speaking, it really made people feel moved. Because this character who is closest to life has said what is closest to what we said when we were in love. Now, who can forget those vows we've made, whether it's shouting out loud or whispering in our ears.
Two other minor characters worth taking a closer look at.
One is a sex-addicted producer played by Robin Williams, and the other is a drug dealer who ended up smoking potent marijuana with Carter in the hospital.
Robin Williams' typical cowboy face in "AUGUST RUSH" impressed me quite a lot, and he took this small role very calmly.
And finally when he says, "ten years ago, that would've been a yes." in front of the girl who's seduced him,
it makes you think. What a manly man. Think about it, I couldn't stand the sexual description of masturbation two days ago, but I changed it today, how great.
The drug dealer with glasses. Mind you, he's the only person outside of Carter's father who has been honest about his fears. I secretly think that there is a little metaphor here. As soon as he sells marijuana, he has no culture, and he is almost a generation away from himself, and he is almost thought to be his own son, a person who does not know anything about marijuana varieties. You don't believe that such a person makes you dig your heart out. The reason is that when Carter has to paralyze himself with drugs, he is the most vulnerable, not that he is not sober, but that he is unwilling to sober. Your own cowardice is often the hardest to conquer. By the way, there is a package of marijuana called "darkness" in the glasses man, which translates to "dampness", which subtitle group, I'm optimistic about you.
At last. Everyone escaped the sea of misery successfully with merit and virtue, and the ending was harmonious enough to be bloody. It seems that a lot of people criticize this.
Carter got rid of drugs, cured the sick people, and started the story of making stars and familiar girls. His words after knocking on the door:
"I don't want to see you anymore, professionally."
Listen, what a good young man, what a sweet love story.
I give four stars. Check it out.
Not deep. Soup, soup, and water can moisten the stomach. Wen Qing people should not be the staple food. After all, the nutrition is not balanced. This kind of comfortable look is addicting, and I can only buy Nutrilite supplements in the future.
