Remote town, ordinary life

American movies always have a kind of imagination about closed small towns, and they feel that something is always suppressed under the boring surface, or something will always be distorted after being suppressed for a long time. It seems that Zhang Yimou often has such imagination in Mo Yan. But they were "inspired" by others.
I also grew up in a small town, a remote town on the southern coast. When I was young, I had a very good-looking head teacher who was very good to people and very good to students. His child was at the same table as me. Once at his house, I heard him beat the child behind closed doors, and I got goose bumps. The repressed distortion and violence are my imagination of elementary school teachers, but our town? Do not. I think most of the time people are still busy living. Some people drink pesticides, some have children, some marry daughters, some have extramarital affairs, some get rich, and some try to get rich. . . Ordinary people die or give birth.
The cultural elites always have his imagination. What is in front of him is a whole pile of everything, but he only cares about the dark point. Maybe the darkness or distortion satisfied him. Well, maybe. In fact, most people's lives are not driven by your heart, but framed by external conditions. We are more farmers, little white-collar workers, wage earners, little bosses, and disadvantaged groups of this era. The era drove us around, and the era drove us like cows and horses, without knowing the end.
All types of movies have their own stereotypes, deserts, gunshots, incest, and small towns, they always seem familiar. The appearance of Liv Tyler and the dew point of Jennifer Lopez are small surprises.

    The scene inside is completely born murderer 2. Sister Jane is quite powerful in this film. It makes me feel refreshed after seeing her performance in the Manhattan Maid. Sean Penn feels a bit like Edward in a trance. Norton, oh no, it should be Edward like him, the final ending is desperate, and Billy Bob Thornton and John Water. . . Gossip
