I really want to feel that Ma is getting old, although it is indeed out of the needs of the task, a middle-aged father who is engaged in physical work and has to run around for his daughter in prison is impossible to look bright no matter what, but I still look at him. The fat body and the wrinkled wrinkle are unbearable.
But it does have some old-fashioned meaning. He doesn't seem to need to use lines and exaggerated expressions to express it. Of course, if he uses it, the emotions will be stronger. The sadness and stubbornness of Bill in the film is a gesture of action. You can feel it, and the process of his softening and transformation makes you feel it without feeling exaggerated. In fact, his age has been growing, but you always think that he is still the omnipotent Jason Bourne, or the astronaut who reclaims Mars. Of course, the youngest one should win the best by virtue of soul catcher. When writing. Let's learn from your good friend Daben, and watch people rejuvenate their body and mind under the nourishment of love, and Ma Ma will continue to be tortured by his daughter and his unbearable past in Jingshui City.
Stillwater City's rating is not very high. Some people think that the 140-minute length of this film is a bit long, and the story told is also a classic Hollywood script, but I think Stillwater City put the narrative rhythm as much as possible in the 140-minute length. Peaceful and not wordy, the audience also has more time to understand Bill's mood transformation through the details of the plot. And this ending with dark humor also makes the overall plot get rid of the stereotype of guessing the ending at a glance.
If it was only Bill who changed his mind in the process of rescuing his daughter, the French mother and daughter brought him warmth, and he rescued the last family of his daughter to live happily together, this kind of plot is already familiar and can no longer be familiar. But Stillwater City adapted a prototype case. The first two-thirds were talking about Bill saving his daughter and redeeming himself. Then at the end, he gave Bill, who thought he had completed the redemption, a heavy blow. His love, hard work, and the French mother and daughter's Nuan was all used by his daughter to help him get away with impunity. The redemption he thought was actually for the tiger. I really don't know if he can hold his daughter's hand and pray for each other devoutly.
The peaceful and long narrative makes the last heavy blow not have the kind of heart-piercing sudden pain, but squeeze your chest, the kind of depression and sadness that cannot be relieved. My daughter once told Virginie not to think Bill could get better, their father and daughter were bastards. At that time, Virginie and I both disagreed, and this scene was repeated in my mind until the end. It can only be said that redemption is not easy, and her daughter's acceptance of the present does not mean that she does not resent the past, so she dragged Bill back to the past together, which can only make people laugh bitterly.
Finally, let’s talk about things other than the plot. The focus of this film is not to truly restore the prototype case, but it also reveals the procrastination and laxity of some western justice in the actual execution, and at the same time shows the contradiction between self-imposed justice and judicial justice. It's in place. Do not believe in justice and obtain evidence beyond the judicial process, and then use the judicial process to achieve justice, and what is even better is to find that the justice you think has actually betrayed the justice you think in your heart, which is full of black humor. In addition, the arrogance of the center of the United States and the political correctness of the white left in Europe are uncomfortable to see, the world is returning to an island again, and everyone still thinks it is correct and reasonable.
I have to mention the crying scene between Bill and Maya , let's go to the Oscar for the best actor, Matt Damon.
