It took two days to read it, maybe some things happened to come together recently, and many places are unforgettable.
The male protagonist, Javier Bardem, the temperamental artist in Barcelona at midnight, the perverted killer who has nowhere to go for the old and I dare not look directly, in this play is the father of two children, an illegal intermediary who helps stowaways arrange jobs, and is not born yet. When I saw my father's abandoned son, at the same time, in the back of the movie, he was also the murderer who killed 25 people, a psychic who could look directly at the soul, and a patient who had cancer.
This is the most promising film the director has ever made, but you will never understand where the hope is until you see it in the end.
For me, it just feels good to be alive.
After watching a film about Barcelona after elementary school, I always wanted to go to such an art capital, free, unrestrained, and sunny every day. Meicuo was also shot here, and I saw the darkness behind the sun.
There are many clues in the story surrounding the male protagonist. The most impressive ones are the illegal immigrants in China, where they sleep in the basement and build the floor. The photos of them missing their family can only be posted on the wall of their own land. They work on the construction site during the day, and their income is much higher than that in China, but they live like cattle and horses. Lily is Javier's nanny, helping him take care of his two children before moving to the basement, so he has a good relationship with Javier. After crowding into the basement with 24 other people, many people couldn't stand the cold in the winter. Javier, out of good intentions, went to buy some heating for the Chinese, but he was told that he was terminally ill and wanted to save more for the children. The money then bought the cheapest gas heater. A few nights later, the basement door was opened as usual one morning and everyone was found dead there from gas poisoning. The two people who could have been saved were also not treated in time because they were contractors and two gays in China were afraid of getting into trouble. Javier looked at Lily's body, next to her one or two-year-old child, who could see the soul of the dead, and he kept begging for her forgiveness. At this time, the souls of 25 Chinese people floated on the ceiling and groaned, asking for help. Neither the male lead, nor the director, nor the audience have the face to look up at their faces and listen to their words.
Javier repeats at the beginning and end of the movie that he does not like the deep sea, the sound of the sea is too scary, and the corpses of 25 Chinese people were thrown into the sea by his compatriots.
Regarding the sea, there is a scene in the movie that is graffiti on the street. A huge shark is opening its mouth and pounces on a man who is pushing a junk car. The body of the shark is made of banknotes. The poor can only look at it. What? Can't do it.
Baidu introduced this as a suspense? About illegal immigration? movie of.
If the suspense refers to the psychic ability of the male protagonist, then I believe this is just a pile of shit after removing this suspense factor. Half of the male protagonist's human nature, which is different from other traffickers, is expressed by his own psychic abilities. Javier's channeling is basically reflected in the mirror. Mirrors reflect ourselves, and in movies it reflects people's souls. Every time the mirror appears is a meticulous design, Javier only learns of his illness, his depleted soul in the mirror is several beats slower than the actual action; when he borrows his ability to make money, the dead old man's The soul is reflected in the mirror beside the old woman.
Natural animals such as butterflies and ants are also full of hints. Whenever Javier lay in bed, black butterflies could be seen in the corners of the damp-blackened ceiling, gathering more and more as his condition worsened, but when he returned to the bed for the last time, the corners were empty of nothing. no. Butterfly, representing rebirth, is his persistence for countless times of survival. Whether it is chemotherapy or witchcraft, Javier never gave up the idea of living after learning of his illness. But in the end, whether it was himself or the black woman igle who was helped by him, and even his 10-year-old daughter saw the end of her life, he chose to accept it calmly.
Here we will mention the issue of illegal immigrants. The illegal immigrants are not only Chinese, but also many blacks. Javier is working for them on the surface, but in fact, according to the police who are complicit with him, he That is, a one-man trafficker. But after the black immigrants were later arrested for drugs, one of the wives and children was entrusted to Javier. Javier later lived with the black woman Igle with her children. Javier gave all the money to Igle before he died, and begged her to stay here to take care of her children. In the end, Igle sent the child to school and took the money to the station to go back to her hometown. As for her coming back, there are not many problems. People are arguing.
The complicit police told Javier not to trust a hungry man, but Javier did hear the sound of igle returning in his last few minutes of sobriety.
I think it doesn't matter, because no matter what, Javier's two children can continue to live. There, surviving tomorrow may not be a problem, the problem is how to live tomorrow, whether to sell cottages to hide from urban management, sell drugs to kill people, or show yourself more in the sun.
Javier respects life. He insisted on seeing his father before cremating the father he had never met. He didn't have much time to live, but he did not show any fragility. Half of the time I think it may be a misdiagnosis. Compared to someone who is going to die if he is slightly ill, his calm and non-wasteful attitude shows the power of life.
PS Even a movie like this is actually flawed. For example, the two contractors, both 30 and 40-year-old Chinese men, were actually a gay couple, and in the end, they attacked and killed them for their own interests and their own safety. by. Most people don't understand what this setting is for? ? Maybe I'm telling you middle-aged gays, in fact, abroad is also a good development platform?
