Yes, the title represents what I want to say most, Edward Norton is the pendant! It's hard to imagine that such a person would be so embarrassed to say that when he acted in "First Degree Fear", he wanted to be famous and shameless! If you're not handsome, I'll eat the table!
The above is the most important content of this film review, and then I will talk about other things. For nothing but this movie, I have to give it a long review.
First of all, as far as the viewing experience is concerned, this is a movie that mobilizes all your emotions. Throughout the entire process of watching this movie, I often wanted to stop and catch my breath, but I was reluctant to pause. The shooting is very stylized, those slow motion, close-up close-up shots, and the music interspersed with the meaning of divine compassion, let the pain and struggle hidden in everyone's tiniest expressions be revealed in front of your eyes, only one after another is left in your eyes. It has a strong sense of drama and even a kind of tragic fate. At the end, when Drake desperately rushed into the scene and hugged Danny in a pool of blood, his heart-wrenching cry made me feel deeply. What is heartbreaking.
In addition to that, the storytelling mode of the film is also great, the main line is the day Danny's brother Drake is released from prison, Danny is asked to rewrite a report, and the next day he goes to school to hand in the report. A series of events; showing enough contradictions in between, interspersed with memories that enrich the story to explain the contradictions. It used to be black and white, arguing, depressing, and colorful now means a new life, like Danny said, after writing that report he's going to see the sun rise (sadly he's holding that The hopeful report is dead) In just one day, so many people and things happened, making the story exciting, tight and gripping; more than that, the family's tragic feelings also make the audience feel anxious all the time - The Prodigal Son , to change the evil and return to the righteous, finally to clear up the mood, all the hardships come to an end, but once again fell into the abyss of pain. To a certain extent, this ending can be said to be the "tragedy of tragedy" proposed by Wang Guowei. In ordinary life, there is no villain who controls everything, nor a mysterious master who transcends everything. It is just an ordinary situation, an ordinary character, although Everyone is trying their best to move in a good direction, but they still can't get rid of the fate of perishing.
Finally, this story you can place in the context of race, or it can rise to a general life question: Have you ever worked hard to make your life better? Drake in prison was struck by such a simple sentence; this sentence also struck me off-screen, and it was just that.
