The 72nd Cannes Festival opened with Jim Jarmusch's "The Dead Don't Die".
Friends who are used to watching pure commercial blockbusters will ask: Which hammer is Jarmusu? The name Ga contrived (Shanghai accent).
Although they all started from Cannes, Jia Muxing is not Jia Zhangke's brother. He is an out-and-out American literary youth, the kind that can't be boring. Film director, composer -
"A guy who you want to beat up when you see him, but somehow likes him a little bit".
So far, the film that best shows his "unbeatable" qualities is called "The Limits of Control" . After reading this slow, lengthy, but flamboyant film, basically, I also understood Jarmusch.
| Imagination
Do you think I will briefly introduce the content of this movie, and then add a few gif animations, extending some philosophical meanings that you don't understand, pretending that this is a movie review? never!
The standard movie self-media writing does not match "The Limits of Control", now you need "imagination" .
| Come on, try to imagine:
Once upon a time, there was a wealthy old man who was arrogant and arrogant, and spoke in a nonsense manner. He lives quite remote and kills girls with big hips. Would you, would you, want to kill him?
Hmm, thinking a bit? very good. But killing is a technical job, and there is a specialization in the art industry. Otherwise, why is there a need for killers in the world, or the profession of assassins?
So the question is, what do you think the best killer looks like? Don't ask me, imagine, use your imagination, amigo (Spanish brother).
He...has to be a black man. Of course, black people feel particularly reliable in this segment.
But he can't be a hip-hop black man. He has to have good and popular clothes. The suit is neat and not cheap. He will change the color of the suit according to the style of the city - for example, Beijing is dark red (the big red is covered with dust), New York is dark red. It's rotten silver, Tokyo neon powder, Zhumadian... White sesame shirt with chestnut yellow?
Just kidding, in short suits are important, skills are more important. He doesn't like to use guns, because the masters are close to killing people. Uh, that's what it said in "This Killer Isn't Too Cold".
Skills are only superficial. The core quality of a killer should be... how do you say that word?
self-discipline!
Yes, self-discipline. Only a person with self-discipline can complete the task well.
Even if life is repetitive and the process is extremely tedious, the best killers will regularly order two glasses of the same Essproso, eat the task slips, and only care about work (and art, huh) during work.
clap clap? No, thank you, next time.
OK, it's over .
| The meaning of the title
That's the tone of the whole movie. Those who love it say it's alienating taste and desolate humor; those who don't like it just want to drag Jarmusch out of the background, grab his ugly hair, and kick his face hard!
As for me, I want to celebrate the beauty of estrangement before kicking the face —inevitably, people who like The Limits of Control are somewhat self-contradictory.
And this is also the meaning of the title: the killer of extreme self-control comes from the director who can't control his own bad taste at all, and the audience who controls their emotions in the middle, forming a delicate triangular balance.
To be honest, the experience was quite interesting.
| 116 minutes old age
Obviously, "The Limits of Control" is not the most well-known work of Jarmusch, not even the better reputation.
But there are people who like the taste of "dangling": life is constantly repeating and changing, and in the end, we will all kill the self-righteous person - ourselves, or some phantom.
Different paths lead to the same goal, art, music and the opposite sex appear as embellishments all the way in the form of Brownian motion; what remains unchanged is that people repeat their own process, for killers, it is city, suit, coffee, cigarette case, note, the next city; For us, huh, almost.
Are you bored? boring. Life is boring, and this bird movie called "The Limits of Control" is also very boring.
But there will still be bells ringing in my heart, for whom? Oh, for a fact stated in this movie: We grow old in dull self-discipline, self-control.
A full 116 minutes, that's what I'm talking about.
So you can imagine: Jiamusu's works are really bad, but they are really likeable.
