Zero, the film as a whole
The film highly praises the idealists. The film compares idealists to birds, and describes them as superhero Birdman. The ultimate destination of birds is the sky, which is probably to say that idealists' self-realization is the most sublime, and every righteous gifted idealist All are superheroes. The film is ideally divided into five stages according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. (After all, this is an idealist's hymn, and it is normal to be idealized.) The film is shot from the perspective of "Birdman" as a whole. from the perspective of the entire theater.
The film uses metaphors to satirize everywhere, and even the film's own fans have not escaped the disaster. The film satirizes young people who are now living in the virtual world, the idiots who make trouble everywhere, the untalented stars, the half-hearted stars, the superficial relationship between people, and people's excessive pursuit of fame and fortune. , satirized the superficiality of the things people paid attention to, satirized the various stupid behaviors of fans, satirized the ignorance of the academic school, satirized people's excessive reverence for the academic school, satirized the literary workers "too white" (almost all white people) , people of color cannot develop). So with the second title of the film "THE UNEXPECTED VIRTURE OF IGNORANCE", it obviously cannot be used as the official title of the film.
The most important part of this film is a tribute to idealists, so it is called "BIRDMAN". In the film, "love" is used to escort the ideal. "AMOR" is the driving force of idealists. Only by loving and loving one's ideal like a lover will one feel pain and feel that ideal is as important as life. Idealists are still struggling to move forward in such an environment, no one understands them, no one pays attention to them, no one is willing to pay tribute to the classics, no one is willing to pay them, they are struggling to survive, but the ideals in their hearts make it even more difficult. They feel tormented. That ideal doesn't seem to be ideal, it's like an illusion, out of reach, if it exists or doesn't exist.
(I've always disliked calling "BIRDMAN" "Birdman" because the translation of "Birdman" is more of a superhero, but "Birdman" is more of an idealist. I guess the idea of "Birdman" is The director was annoyed when he filmed "Babel", which is mainly about love, maybe it was adapted from Raymond Carver's "When We Talk About Love, What We Talk About", so "Babel" The stage play in "Birdman" probably refers to "Tower of Babel". What kind of hat was given to him against popcorn movies. After all, the film may not have a very good response at the beginning, and various misunderstandings. The director was very angry, and the consequences were very serious. In the end, he made such an excellent film and scolded the gang.
Actually, the translation of the second topic is still very interesting. If you can speak swear words, it is estimated that the director I want to say "I didn't think that stupid [beep--] can also have virtue" or "Thank you stupid [beep--] for helping me succeed".
The word "Birdman" won the award probably comes from two pressures, one is the various In order to fight back against the director, the organizing committee will send academic actors inside. Second, the pressure brought by Martin Scorsese, the organizing committee does not want to admit that they are stupid [beep-], they are very limited. What's more, for the actors nominated this year, all the female lead actors are bad [beep--], they are no better than those nominated last year. The male lead is just too difficult and doesn't feel substituting at all. Michael Keaton's acting is very substituting for the audience. Strong, a line from "V for Vendetta" is appropriate to describe it, "YOU CAN FEEL WHAT I FELL". Although I don't really feel what V feels like, I don't feel Hawking ("The Theory of Everything" male Lord) is what it feels like, but I can feel Regan Thomson's feeling, that feeling is very real, that feeling is lingering in the brain, this is the effect that the actor should bring, not just about the difficulty level.
To be honest, I read a review that Huizhong said, full marks for foreign films if you can’t understand them, and 1 point for domestic films if you don’t understand them. Fans are full of servility. I really don’t think this has anything to do with “slavery” half a dime, even if You can find the theme even if you don’t understand it, you can understand what it tells in general, if you don’t understand the domestic film, it really doesn’t even have a theme, and you can’t even find a story. It's good to say that you can't understand that thing? What a joke? It's servile. It's obvious that the person who said this has a problem with IQ.
There is also a movie review saying that the title of "BIRDMAN" is very funny, then "Ant-Man" will not be able to live, brother, if you have something to do, learn more English, in English "Ant-Man (Ant-Man)" "That's what was criticized.
What's more, the long mirror in the film is called a dazzling skill. I deeply admire the person who said this, I guess the director will say "Mom [beep], I'm just showing off my skills!" Watch the movie well, don't start spraying if you can't understand it, this kind of film critic is popular You know what the movie is called.
Of course, this movie is also about love and sex. In fact, I also admire it. I can see that it is really not easy to talk about love and sex. It's like, in the second preview of Regan's stage play, the audience only saw the scene where Mike and Leslie had an embarrassing scene. )
before and after the film, showing the pessimistic side of reality. Every sentence has a special meaning, every scene has its special meaning.
1. The meaning of
the characters The protagonist stays in Birdman's memory when he is thinking about himself.
But he didn't stop at Birdman in reality.
This leads to the first question: what counts as progress?
Is it to rise in Vanity Fair, or to achieve what you want?
Obviously the protagonist Regan chose the latter.
In his opinion, Vanity Fair is just a tool for making a living, and it can only help him survive. What he pursues is the recognition of his talent (sense of belonging) from others. Of course, the more the number of people, the better, and the ability to make works that he is satisfied with (self-realization). ).
He could have gone on like the Batman series, but he gave up. None of his talented peers were pursuing art, they were all doing superhero movies and fighting in Vanity Fair. He wanted to pursue his art. This led to the decline of the family, and the daughter was mistaken for life.
When he saw the news of Robert Downey Jr. (Hollywood's most profitable and popular male movie star), the devil in his heart was blaming his decision again. He himself ruined his life and the lives of his family.
This devil will not only persuade him to give up pursuing his dreams, pursue the lowest level of physical needs, and struggle in the Vanity Fair, but will always give him faith and tell him that you are talented. This devil actually exists in the hearts of everyone who pursues art.
In fact, the film expands the contrast between "what could have been" and "what is now". In real life, many young people with artistic dreams often think when they are hit by reality again and again, I could have been a civil servant, I could have been a bank clerk, I could have been a civil servant, etc. , but I chose a path that I couldn't bear, but those so-called famous people from all walks of life, the talent is not half as good as mine, I can't give up. (Most ended up failing and giving up, mostly because of lack of talent, and a few because of lack of effort. This is realistic, although difficult to accept.)
He is shown many times in the film to reject Vanity Fair, for example, without any social network accounts , hate his famous past, don't do fancy entertainment, spend a lot of money to hire good actors and so on.
The characters who support him in the film are all dreamy, and the economic man is financially realistic (the part about money is very realistic, which is not conflicting), but he himself never realized that he was helping a person to achieve the almost impossible To achieve her dream, Leslie could have been famous by Mike, but she was still working hard on her own. Her lover always hoped that a person who pursued her dream wholeheartedly would fall in love with her one day, but he had no time and no mood.
The wife is very realistic, apparently, when they got married, women were attracted by his handsome appearance, household name, money pouring in, she didn't know this man was an idealist, and beliefs could never be denied. And the wife didn't really take the time and effort to educate her daughter, otherwise her daughter would not be addicted to drugs, and after seeing Regan, she shied the responsibility completely. Reagan is responsible, and both parties can be irresponsible to their children because the other party is irresponsible? The director actually criticized many parents like this here.
My daughter has never cared about him from the bottom of my heart, and he doesn't care about her. She is very realistic, arrogant, and ambitious. Like young people today, her daughter lacks a "sense of presence". In fact, a sense of presence is a social need, not a sense of security. , but a "sense of belonging", a kind of emotional belonging. The "sense of existence" makes young people nowadays often indulge in social networks, chatting on social networks, and no one will talk about beliefs, but parents. It's just a sense of belonging.
In the film, the daughter is allowed to come out of the drug rehab center and work with her father. In fact, the mother can also help her find a job, and she can find a job herself. In fact, it is saying that today's young people's lives are completely provided by their parents. They are always like taking drugs. They have no dreams and no pursuits. do, how to fight. In the movie, the "daughter" is praised for her beauty, no matter how bad she is, but the reason is not clearly stated. In fact, there is a reason. The daughter represents "youth", and youth is beautiful. As long as a person is still young, no matter what Beautiful no matter how bad.
Mike represents the current star. Naturally, he is academic. He has some acting skills, but he is not a blockbuster. He has created a high box office. But he is an extremely selfish person, arrogant, rude, playing big names, lost in Vanity Fair, and all the shortcomings of stars are displayed in him. It is ironic that the star can only play a mediocre level when the prop scene is completely simulated (the worse level is directly represented by Robert Downey Jr., subject to this irony, it is estimated that Iron Man will be at the American People's Choice Awards this year. The words were probably meant to counter the "Birdman" crew).
The commentators represent the art circle (note that the film draws out the entertainment circle, the whole film has nothing to do with the entertainment circle) word-of-mouth manipulators, as well as public figures, celebrities, stars, the jury of various awards, etc. . They are a bunch of pretentious, extraordinary, but extremely conservative. However, they have no creativity or literary talent. They always judge people by their appearance, and they always look at people's rigid conditions, what education, wealth, etc. The only thing they don't look at is people's strength. Feeling to evaluate, emotional, blindly sensational, no artistic cells and so on. (Actually, this paragraph is about the critics who have been attacking various awards. The scolding is too harsh, so the Golden Globes will not choose this kind of film as the best film. If they choose it, it is equivalent to admitting that they are stupid [beep ——], not choosing also shows that they have no artistic ability, they are the kind of people who are scolded in the film, but the Golden Globes judges know that the audience is not so smart, they can still control, so they simply do not choose. Oscar too. The prospect of winning is bleak. Ah.)
Martin Scorsese represents a truly learned, visionary, and artistic artist, who does not discriminate against others because of foreign objects, does not go with the flow, is independent, creative, and a true artist. They are art-only and eclectic, and these same people are authority figures who can manipulate people's choices and make them famous.
2.
Details of the film There is no nonsense in this film, not a single redundant shot, and not a single redundant sound. The subtlety of the lines and scenes makes people have no time to take into account. The film does not directly express some criticism and praise, and most of the time it will be expressed obscurely. Probably because of many external factors (movie crowd, box office, film critics).
This world is a world of winners and losers. People will only remember the so-called best picture, best actor, etc. in certain awards. They have a lot of scruples, the crew has restrained a lot, and their views have not been directly expressed.
(There is a sentence at the beginning of the film that I have not understood, and it is not in the mini-script. That sentence should actually be very important.)
The drumbeat of the film actually indicates the psychological activities of the parties involved, the speed of the progress of the event, and so on.
A drum sound awakened the audience, and then the drum sound gradually became regular. Just like an actor who plays a superhero, it became popular overnight, and then life has a rhythm and regularity.
There is an interview-style question. The first question has a tight drum, and the answerer drums lightly. In the second question, the questioner drums lightly, and the answerer drums tight. This drum is like two people are talking, and the rhythm of the tone is the drum rhythm. . And all the I's in the font are added with "·" on the capital letters, emphasizing the importance of "self".
After the answer appeared, the drum beat actually changed, probably saying that after this interview, the protagonist found his true pursuit and changed his way of life.
When the title "BIRDMAN" appeared, the red font left "AMOR (Latin: love)", because Latin is a "dead language", and the usage of words will never change. In Latin, it is probably to say, "Love" is a feeling that never changes. Then came a picture of a jellyfish dying on the beach at low tide, and later about the jellyfish, the real beginning of the birdman story.
The second name is "THE UNEXPECTED VIRTURE OF IGNORANCE". Generally, movies will not release an abandoned name on the screen. Obviously, this is intentional. This is a very interesting name. I will talk about the director and screenwriter later. will be mentioned when.
When the music turns, it gives people a feeling that the situation is not good, and then there is the scene of the fall of the superstar, and the "superstar" is still burning, and the drums are rumbling, which can also make people feel the speed of the fall and the intensity of the decline. . In fact, superheroes are like this. As long as the actors don't do it, they will be out of breath after a long time. "Burning" actually shows that he did not give up being an actor, but wholeheartedly fulfilled his ideal.
Then the drums stopped abruptly, and the hero Riggan Thomson was suspended naked in the air. The film used to use "naked" to express self-reflection. First of all, the name Riggan is intentional, meaning that the male protagonist is a benchmark, and the role of the benchmark is to guide people in the direction. Suspended in the air is just the hero's imagination. In fact, the film wants to say that people with ideals and talents have superpowers like superheroes.
The birdman in his mind has been complaining about him (mentioned in the character introduction, and will not be mentioned later), the devil in his heart is actually the self that he has always denied, he does not admit that what he did before is art, he is In self-denial, there is no self-respect.
The devil is saying that the environment is bad, but in fact it is what the film complains about. Artists cannot get a better environment and the respect they deserve, but grandstanding entertainment workers have always enjoyed an excellent environment, the admiration of thousands of people, and their wealth is rolling in. .
His daughter's name is "Sam", Sam is a common name for American boys, Sam's dress, personality, etc. are also very neutral, Sam represents young people in the United States (this setting probably means that today's boys are very feminine Like a girl? Or is it that the equality of men and women in modern society is deepening? I don’t think that’s what it means). These people use iPhones and like to make video calls, which is what American youth often do.
Sam buys some flowers for his dad, but the place to buy them is interesting, at the Korean gourmet shop, which also sells flowers. Sam is not friendly to people, has no patience to listen to others, seems to be expressing himself more often, this is the fault of many people in life. You did the right thing, never listened to anyone else.
In fact, this scene reflects that Asian people in North America are mainly engaged in the basic service industry, which basically reflects the desire for profit. It is normal to read flowers and flowers when buying flowers, but the boss has been urging them to buy flowers.
Reagan's emphasis on not "roses" actually shows that there is no love in Reagan's life at all. In fact, the film wants to say that there are many kinds of love, not just "love", but the whole film has nothing to do with love.
The phone is hung up, the drums are playing, and the protagonist is once again caught in the struggle of thinking. At this time, what appears in the mirror is him and the superhero he is now. He seems to be ignoring the broadcast on purpose, and the broadcast seems to know that he is ignoring it on purpose. again. The sentence on the mirror is also proof of his self-denial. "A thing is a thing, not what it is said of that thing." In fact, this shows that Regan's ideological struggle has been going on for a long time, and the people around him have adapted to it, and he will emphasize it several times each time.
There is a scene in the middle where Regan greets a colleague naturally. It seems that he has seen it often and has known each other for a long time. But he called his colleague by the wrong name. This also reflects a feature that the crew is not remembered. It is obvious that there are people who work in any movie or TV series, and they are often seen, but they are not valued at all.
The agent is called Jake (Jake), Jake means "money, good". Of course, the agent only looks at money. The name is too straightforward. Of course, from Regan's words, we can tell that the agent is a very good person. The actress is called Lesley (Lesley). Les means lesbian, which will be mentioned later.
Ralph is pronounced like rough. Regan has always been dissatisfied with Ralph, and the mini-script probably said that Ralph was an academic crap, "playing the script with the voice of syphilis radio education" This is what "Regan" described him in the mini-script. However, the film directly treats him as a arrogant straw bag. He is self-righteous and changes the script according to his own ideas. He can't read the script at all, and he has been expounding his own views, changing the script like a piece of shit. Suddenly a stage light fell and hurt him, blood splashing. There is an old lady in the film who is very concerned about Ralph, it should be his mother. The film ended with Ralph, who of course couldn't die, which will be mentioned later. In fact, the film wants to say that people like Ralph are self-inflicted and cannot live. He is destined to be abandoned by everyone and by art.
In this part of Ralph's appearance, the camera keeps spinning, probably to express that "Regan (talented person)" is confused by these scumbags, and his mind is in a fog, and he can't think. When Ralph was smashed, the drum sounded again, the scene was a mess, the protagonist was thinking again, his thoughts were spinning rapidly, he was thinking about finding a male protagonist, and he was happy about the incident of Ralph being smashed. A new, better actor.
Regan went back to the room and saw the news of Robert Downey Jr., which was already mentioned here.
In fact, this place makes a comparison. There are two kinds of straw bags, one is famous and the other is not famous. Natural people who are famous will not treat them as straw bags. This is also Vanity Fair's misleading of people's thinking. I didn't say anything about the star's shortcomings here, and the material is in the back.
Before entering the house, Regan wanted a good actor, the three actors he mentioned were all people who got a whole bunch of nominations (awards), all three were playing superheroes, and the last one was Jeremy Ray Na, Jack hadn't heard of it, indicating that this man was not very famous at the time and was also starring in superhero movies. In fact, this is a satire of the current phenomenon. After people have achieved artistic achievements, they start to waste their talents and go to some popcorn movies. In film, superhero movies represent a whole bunch of popcorn movies.
Here comes a bottle of roses with a message on it. "They didn't have the whatever you wanted. -Sam" which means Sam didn't do what Regan said. From the front, Reagan saw the flowers he wanted. Sam said it was not good. Reagan said no roses. Sam didn't listen at all. "They don't want anything." It's not that they want nothing at all. This is to satirize the short-sightedness of today's young people, and they don't respect the choices of others, and they force their own consciousness to control others, and this consciousness is painful. .
(Actually, there may be another meaning. Roses represent love, and the director never wants roses. The director wants to say that this film has nothing to do with love, but the play uses "love" to express other people's approval and self-approval. This film has always It's about ideals, not superficial love. The director wants to say that young people know love and love all day long, and they can't even understand such basic expressions. It's so superficial that it makes people angry.)
At this time, the former he (Flying Bird ) Xia) has been shaking the current him, he decided to do entertainment shows to promote. The next day entertainment program interview. The content of the interview is actually a satire of modern entertainment media. Female reporters represent the current gossip media (in the words of the Celestial Dynasty, those things done by the paparazzi in Hong Kong and Taiwan), who only know about the fashion circles, without any cultural background, such as plastic surgery, clothing, or social networking. Male reporters represent the current commentary media (entertainment reports from various media such as David TV and Youku, like to play Tai Chi in commercial films, only award awards in art films, and ideologically, there is no guiding media), these media usually The pursuit of art is identified as "willful", "cold", "pretend [beep-]" and so on. Asians represent investors. Investors like gimmicky business investments and will not support art at all. The female reporter said false information during the interview, but all the people wrote it down. This detail proves that the reporter's interview lacks authenticity.
The agent blocked the interview in time, before mentioning Ralph. In fact, it also shows that the straw bag is often a perverted fact. People can live in peace only if they rely on each other to threaten each other. There is a saying that is against the various unions in the United States (actors, film critics, etc.), and the people of the American unions control people's words and deeds. Whether the photo was Regan's personal business, the manager would have to warn him because the guild was not easy to mess with. This is the film's dissatisfaction with the union.
Of course, this section also expresses the impetuousness and ignorance of the reality through the performance of the reporter. Because reporters ask questions that are often of public concern. The questions are curious. Most people will feel familiar to see these questions, because these questions are those entertainment headlines that are out of context. How did these so-called headlines come out? Social networking is a must. So here comes the problem, this movie is destined to make most people uncomfortable, and the ratings will naturally not be high.
Here's an extremely sarcastic approach. The female reporter is called "CLARA", which means "smart", but she is very ignorant. The male reporter's name is "GABRIEL", which is the English spelling of the angel Gabriel, which means "God's messenger to send good news to mankind". In fact, he was just asking some so-called "headline" questions. Roots bring the gospel. He looks at Regan with a secular eye. Naturally, a layman cannot be called an angel. He represents the majority of people, and the questions he asks also represent the views of the majority of people. Most people think that making money is the first priority. As for ideals What, why do you want to make it happen? You already have so much fame, so much wealth, what are your ideals? Where is it?
(There may be such a meaning. Most people still look down on actors in popcorn movies, thinking that they are just celebrities and do not have artistic talent. Once they want to pursue the art they like, they must think that everyone thinks he is a Geniuses are whitewashing their own reputation. In fact, in this case, it is easy for such actors to be disapproved. For them, the pressure brought by this kind of discrimination is still not small. This is also what the film wants to show, no matter who this person is now The role he plays to make money and the role he relies on to make his fortune probably has nothing to do with his real ideals. They do not need to be whitewashed or explained. Please treat his ideals fairly and objectively, and please respect idealists and their "beliefs". Of course In China, we don't have to worry about wronging any artistic stars, after all, such celebrities haven't appeared yet.)
Here Icarus is used as a metaphor for Birdman, who will eventually perish by getting too close to the sun. In fact, this is talking about superhero actors (generally referring to people who become popular because of their roles in popcorn movies), they will be completely lost in Vanity Fair because they are too prosperous and too eager for quick success, and eventually commit suicide. Of course, every time in the film, half of the words are said. In fact, Regan has changed himself. He is no longer the bird man who is just the bird man.
The investor is called "HAN" and is an Asian. It seems that Asians are a group of speculators in North America. The film does not discriminate against Asians, but Asians have basically been robbing other people's jobs in North America, a group of people like working machines, and the driving force of "machines" is money. This is the same as the nature of an investor. Just to make money with money.
Of course, the name given to the two reporters in the film may also be given from the audience's point of view. After all, audiences usually watch those out-of-key entertainment reports. The viewers (or idiots) to whom this film refers will see these entertainers as smart people who are preaching the gospel of God. This is to criticize such audiences for lacking knowledge and discernment, focusing only on gimmicks, taking entertainment as gospel, and idols as gods. This episode is really a huge hit, but with the brainless fans' intelligence, I can't understand what the director scolded them, and the brainless fans won't watch this kind of movie with their taste. The directors and screenwriters should be very safe.
The film uses the words of French philosopher Roland Barthes about the way culture is now spread. In fact, how to spread culture often shows the overall cultural level of a country or region. In fact, this is a rant in disguise. People's education level is low, and the things they pay attention to are very superficial. In fact, the advertisements and movie genres in this sentence can be replaced by a few popcorn movie genre words, which can reflect the cultural level of a country or region. For example, the way of disseminating culture in the Chinese dynasty was romance films, costume films and advertisements. In Japan, the way to spread culture is through anime, old-fashioned movies, TV shows and commercials. Tried and tested, there are basically several types, and it is conceivable how poor people's ideological life is.
Pay attention to Mike's last name, the name "MIKE SHINER" indicates that this character represents the "star" vote. Here Regan doesn't know Mike, but the agent knows. From the description of Mike, we can know that Mike is a popcorn star, has a lot of brainless fans, and makes a lot of money. In Leslie's discussion of Mike, Mike and the producer should have frequent feuds, and people who are a little familiar with him have basically become accustomed to it. This is just the initial appearance of the critical point of "bad star personality" in the film, and there will be more in the future, so I won't repeat it. Normally, Leslie would say it was a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. But here Leslie explained that the language of the relationship with Mike nakedly reflects their sexual relationship, and should only stay in the sexual relationship. This also reflects a sad fact. No star is willing to improve his artistic attainment after becoming famous. If a star is willing to act in a stage play, it must be at odds with the producer, no money to make, and some sexual relations. Sometimes this kind of incompatibility is because of bad character.
Mike appeared, and several of the actors in the lines were Oscar winners and all came from Broadway. (It sounds like the character Regan is saying, if I hit the Oscars, I'll win.) Mike said he rehearsed with Leslie for a month, and he knew all the lines by heart, and Regan was satisfied with his performance. But he asked to simplify the script lines. The film here wants to say that this kind of "star" can be played well after many rehearsals, but they don't understand the script. They feel that the script's lines are superfluous, and they understand it very superficially, hoping that the lines express the literal meaning. Regan's lines actually express three meanings, "Love is indiscriminate, love should not ask others, love is itself." However, Mike only understood the literal meaning.
(The film arranged for entertainment reporters to say that Regan acted in a stage play in order to whiten his reputation, which represented the views of the audience. It arranged for Mike to name a few artists who were born on Broadway and won Oscars, and Mike said that Regan wrote, directed and acted by himself. Very ambitious. The word "ambitious" is used in the film. Although it is a neutral word, it is not friendly and offensive. This represents the view of Reagan in the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry superficially believes that Reagan is to shock the Oscars. Regan has been denying any art awards, opposing people, whitewashing his reputation, etc. This is just what he wants to do. At this stage, Regan has not been able to get out of his "craving for recognition". In fact This is also what the director wants to explain, the director probably wants to say, I wrote this script, I directed this script, this is what I have always wanted to do, I don't care about Oscar, you attack me, I thank you.)
Note here Let's look at Mike's age, 39, Regan 55, Sam 21, the agent 42, Laura 35, Leslie 35, and Ralph 40. This data is probably the age status of the art circle that the director has seen.
Mike immediately forgot about Regan when he saw Sam, and Sam couldn't wait to get in touch with Mike. Here we should pay attention to the following Western etiquette. A and B know each other, B and C know each other, and A and C do not know each other at all. At this time, B can only introduce C to A. In fact, it also shows that Xing and young people lack etiquette education and are difficult to get along with.
Sam waited a while before Regan committed to using Mike. Larry, the old tailor, has decided to try on the new actor. This shows that the agent has decided to use Mike. It reflects a situation, art must rely on stars to make money, and whether it is good or not is another matter.
From the conversation between Mike and Sam, we can learn that Mike is an academic and performs on the big academic stage. The Geffen Theatre is a well-known academic college and stage. Hothouse (greenhouse) means a very popular movie. 's video. It should be used here to indicate that the academic school controls the big stage, the audience's gaze, and the academic school controls whether a person is famous.
The conversation between Mike and Sam reflects that the current relationship between men and women is very superficial, and they are about to enter a sexual relationship as soon as they meet.
Larry, LARRY, the English name means "crown laurel", and the role is an old tailor. He said that there have been no newcomers here for a long time. It proves that he has been working here for a long time, which is to illustrate a current phenomenon, and the current actors basically do not come to Broadway to pursue art, but only enter Hollywood. The film likens joining the arts as a sacred choice, allowing the "tailor" to crown the newcomer.
Then Mike changed his clothes and Sam watched, neither of them mind. But Mike has no underwear, the old tailor found out, said something, and felt very embarrassed. Sam is totally enjoying it. This reflects that people hardly protect their privacy, but when others see it, they will say that it violates their privacy, but they don't mind at all, but they feel a little happy.
Leslie's comments on Sam's words reflect that nowadays young people don't work hard at all after they get easy jobs through relationships, but they can't do anything well, complaining constantly, loitering, disrupting order, and so on. This episode is also a big injury, and basically many people are like this now. It doesn't matter if she doesn't do well, and no one criticizes her, don't complain, at least don't hinder others.
Leslie later said that she finally came to Broadway, which proves that she has been pursuing art.
Mike Lion opened his mouth and asked for 4 times the price, which also reflected the fact that he was mainly a businessman and an actor, and he was only engaged in performing arts to get money. (This may be a lesson the director learned from Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt starred in "Babel", and his acting talent is really good. It is estimated that Edward Norton was also cast because of him. After all, they were at the same time. In "Fight Club", Brad Pitt played Edward Norton's imagination. It is estimated that if this role is specific to people, it should be attacking him.)
Regan laughed, this kind of laugh is really scary, and I also I have laughed like this, this kind of laugh is not easy at all, that kind of feeling cannot be expressed in words.
