best old man movie

I have always liked this kind of bland and hopeless movies, and the golden statue that Sean Penn took home really deserved its name. The two films, The Flag of the Fathers and the Letter from Iwo Jima, which tell the story of the Battle of Iwo Jima, have interesting perspectives, but I really don't like these two films, and they both feel a little dragged.

Million Dollar Baby, because of the name similar to the Million Dollar Hotel, made me notice this movie early on, and then I learned that it won the Oscar for best picture and best director, but if I hadn't watched Clint Eastwood some time ago The film, it is very likely that I missed such an excellent film, because the introduction I saw made me think it was an ordinary inspirational film. I used to wonder how such a type of film won the Oscar. .

I'm afraid it's hard to find a better narration than Morgan Freeman. This old man's hoarse and calm voice always has a shocking power, and it is precisely because of his narration that I keep thinking of The Shawshank Redemption in the process of watching the film. In a sense, the film does have many similarities with The Shawshank Redemption, the film's calm narrative rhythm, Morgan Freeman's wise narration, the protagonist's self-redemption, and the same calm and simple music. This kind of light narrative can easily make people fall into the plot, and a sense of vicissitudes and heaviness shot from the wrinkled faces of the two old men unknowingly captured the hearts of the audience.

It’s been a long time since I watched a movie in one go and immersed myself in its atmosphere for a long time. At the Oscars, many people felt sorry for the loss of the old Martin’s pilot. Now it seems that Million Dollar Baby is indeed worthy of the Oscars. The biggest winner, Clint Eastwood, the old cowboy's film is getting more and more in-depth, and it is a masterpiece with several discussions on human nature, which is memorable.

    [A+] Director Toki’s films are usually relatively plain in technique. You won’t feel that he has too many skills, just let the film focus on the story itself. And this "flat and down-to-earth" style is also his greatest feature and advantage. In terms of soundtrack, photography, performance, editing, etc., Dongmu takes a minimalist style to highlight the story itself. However, the movie is not only the story itself, you can see that there seems to be a kind of power remaining under the superficial story, so that you can still remember it after watching the movie. In the final analysis, this "plain" narrative technique itself is also an extreme state.
