Luc Besson said: The movie is just a dose of aspirin. The most beautiful long-cherished wish in people's hearts has become a fairy tale reality on the big screen, and the people in front of the screen are immersed in the satisfaction of consciousness and intoxicated. The hero embraces the beauty, this fairy tale that has been interpreted thousands of times seems to be always fresh and attractive in people's hearts.
The story has two threads. They are: the love of Joseph and Shannen and the realization of the land dream. In the end, after wandering and gathering, a perfect happy ending was presented to the audience without any suspense.
Remember the first few minutes of the movie when Joseph and his dad got back to the light? The lens is slowly raised, close-up, close-up, panorama. The same dramatic scene is repeated at the end of the film. The camera is getting farther and farther from the passing out John and the crying Shannen next to them, until the two withdraw from the field of view; suddenly, the camera drops sharply, panoramic, close-up, close-up, Joseph's attention in front of the screen and the desperate confession of his lover She opened her eyes and kissed Shannen, her lover, on the land that was about to belong to them. In fact, John is luckier than his father not only in not dying. The old man passed out, and the two unfilial sons discussed how to sell the property; Joseph's unconsciousness led to Shannen's true confession. Maybe this lens design is not novel, let alone classic, but let this beautiful, enjoyable film hold the audience's heart to the end.
The film was shot in 1992. Tom Cruise was in his prime. His classic look back and smile not only captured the hearts of the young and beautiful Shannon from the landlord's family, but also killed us sitting in front of the big screen nearly 20 years later.
At first I thought it was an epic. Then he questioned why the director did not choose Russell Crowe, a heroic actor who played the image of a tough guy in many movies. With the progress of the plot, it gradually became clear that the main line of this movie is actually love, and the historical background of immigration and land expansion really provided Tom with a cool big stage: he punched quickly amid the cheers of fans. , to deal a fatal blow to opponents taller and stronger than themselves; gallop across the wasteland, surpassing everything with incredible sudden acceleration. . . . . . It's a pity that I've watched the "Mission: Impossible" trilogy, and I've seen all his cool tricks. Tom Cruise in "Ambition" didn't bring me much surprise.
I think even an inattentive audience will notice that Joseph's fight with people is very monotonous. The opponent could never dodge Joseph's fist, and Joseph would always dodge the opponent's mind as if he were ready to dodge even before the opponent's punch. That's why I said that his acting in this drama was too rough and too low-level. If I watch "Ambition of the Earth" first, maybe I will think that "Mission Impossible" is a breakthrough on the basis of the past. Throughout Tom Cruise's acting career, I saw "Interview with the Vampire", "Mission Impossible 1, 2, 3" from his early "Rain Man", and now he is playing "Ambition in the Land" in the classroom. Once again verifying his idol image and instant killing power, although he once made efforts to reverse his monotonous youthful idol image, it is undeniable that his well-defined and handsome face and the eyes exuding awe-inspiring charm are subdued. The hearts of batch after batch of girls. Now that "Tang Ge" has reached middle age, his temperament has become more mature and sophisticated, and he is well-deserved to be a Hollywood sign.
Nicole Kidman did a great job in the film. Shannen timidly and cautiously opened the pot that covered Joseph's private parts with curiosity, and peeping made her feel satisfied and shy. This complex mood was very vividly displayed on Shannen's expression. As the young lady of the landlord's family, she is not familiar with the world. She is tired of the old women who think of themselves as ladies and runs away from home alone in a carriage. She is full of scars on her body to earn money. She "fell to fall" and picks up the coins that men put under her feet... What has never changed from beginning to end is her bold rebelliousness and her beauty that has become more and more apparent due to the germination of love.
Still can't forget the scene of Joseph running in that snowy night. Shannen was injured, and Joseph handed over his comatose lover to his rival, and disappeared alone in the long snowy night. The next shot is a scene of a cave being blasted. This montage is a wonderful metaphor for Joseph's pain and collapse after his separation from Shannen.
Love has already sprouted. It has gone through ups and downs, gathering and dispersing, life and death, and finally it is no longer so obscure.
Because of my dream and because of love, I request to walk with you all my life, and let the distant and vast world witness our great ambition.
