Jack Nicholson is getting old.
An uninvited guest named Suiyue climbed onto the domineering face in "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Asylum", set up a majestic camp, and made great efforts to restore the rough and ruggedness of life to the rugged ridges on the forehead.
Nicholson, a well-deserved "old showman". This award-winning Los Angeles Lakers fan has a splendid acting career that makes his generation jealous, just like his split flowers and golden horses on the romantic field, and the results are numerous. He dropped his pay to perform "About Schmidt-The Direction of the Heart", and almost came up with another figurine. It is estimated that the Oscar judges also have the legacy of Liangshan heroes "robbing the rich and helping the poor", or because of the consideration of rewarding backwardness, Nicholson, Cage, Lewis, these regular Oscars can only be reluctant to act as green leaves, like a moon. Brody, the protagonist of "The Pianist" is revealed. He has the face of a refugee, and his feelings of sorrow and compassion are breathtaking.
Discussing Nicholson's acting skills is a squandering adjective. It is like standing at the foot of Mount Tai and lamenting its majesty, which is purely superfluous. Here, I won't show off my flattering skills.
Nicholson played an old man named Schmidt in this film.
Schmidt is getting old.
Empty office, clean desk. The wall clock on the wall was pacing from work every second, and that was the moment of Schmidt's glorious retirement. As soon as the bell rang, Schmidt left with his bag. The real old age has definitely come.
During the busy and prosperous years of working for work and family, I have no time to think about the big question of "what is happiness and what is happiness". Happiness and happiness become shards under the pressure of life, only in busy intervals. , Get pleasure and enjoyment in peace with the situation.
When they are old and weak, they are left unused, as if they were thrown into the recycling bin by the society. The incomprehensible god of death may carry out the "empty recycling bin" operation at any time and delete them completely. Abandoned on the deserted path at the end of the avenue of life, the creeds of his youth were blurred one by one. Together with the society, he broke the psychological protection net that he had surrounded for many years, and the shadowy eyes were helpless and angry.
Schmidt, who is unemployed and light, doesn't seem to be comfortable with his idle retirement. It can not be said that Schmidt is born to work hard, but the power of habit is so terrible, once formed, it will be like a maggot attached to the bone. In "Shawshank's Redemption", the poor prison librarian spent most of his life in jail with a low eyebrow, and finally managed to get free, but nostalgic for the "freedom" in the prison, but physical freedom Become a spiritual shackle, and finally, in order to relieve the mental suffocation, the old man wiped out his body.
The God of Destiny was used to the paradoxes of the world and developed a bad habit of playing pranks, Schmidt unfortunately became the object of his teasing. From time to time, the next vicious stumbling horse slaps Schmidt in a panic. In the company, the "arrogant brat" (Schmidt) who succeeded him did his own way, and did not regard the respected (Schmidt's self-feeling) Schmidt as a root. At home, the wife's seemingly bad habits made Schmidt upset everywhere, but this bad old lady also abandoned Schmidt and went to heaven alone. The widower's career seems to have no future. The house leaks in the night rain. In his wife’s remains, Schmidt accidentally found evidence that she had apricot out of the wall 30 years ago. What is even more frustrating is that the apricot picker turned out to be his own. Knowing friends for many years. The daughter is Schmidt's proud darling, but she has to marry a wretched man. For this reason, the relationship between the father and daughter has cracked.
The three pillars of career, love, family, and life shake the foundation, and Schmidt's eyes are completely dark.
An unknown African child, Dugou, became Schmidt's only sustenance, and Schmidt was Dugou's patron. In the letter to Dugu, Schmidt made up his own good life, and his dissatisfaction with the status quo was slightly relieved in the fictitious self-comfort.
Huabing couldn't satisfy his hunger, lonely, angry, sad, and harassing Schmidt at the same time. One sleepless night, Schmidt walked out of the house, drove an RV, and hit the road. This car was bought by the deceased wife before his death, and the motivation was a bit romantic. Just as Song Dandan said in the skit "Superborn Guerrilla": "Look for the shadow (child) of the two of us." . The Iraqi had gone, and Schmidt had to accompany his shadow on the road.
The film did not just turn into a road film. The director did not want to show the great scenery of the United States along the road, but to let Schmidt return to the place where he was born and raised, and he was content to look for the scraps of the old days. Also let Schmidt encounter an unsuccessful affair. In the rainy morning breeze, under the sky full of stars, Schmidt seemed to understand something, and forgave his derailed wife and friends in his heart.
The deceased is dead, and the matter is resolved. The problem of living people is difficult, and the daughter is determined to marry a wretched man. Schmidt decided to make one last attempt to save his "lost" daughter. But her daughter insists that Qingshan will not relax, and Schmidt can only do nothing.
At the wedding, Schmidt finally compromised, reluctantly accepted the son-in-law's family, and flattered against his will. But there are roundabout ridicules in his words. For example, he praised his father-in-law for his eloquence (in fact, he loves quarreling), and his son-in-law's brother's sincerity (in fact, he is mentally retarded, and it's hard to not be sincere).
In the joy of everyone, Schmidt, who gave up self-persistence, found happiness again.
Hundreds of years ago, the old monster of Yangzhou said deeply "rarely confused", which caused countless heroes to bend their waists, bewildered their eyes like a torch, and turn grief and anger into happiness. When others were angry, I was not angry. When I was young and ignorant, I also followed the fashions and solemnly wrote these four words in my notebook as a motto.
Schmidt thinks about change when he is poor, and he secretly communicates with the ancient Eastern philosophy of life, so that the lost soul has a successful soft landing.
