11/22/2019, @ Angelika Film Center & Café. Love how confident, fearless, open, and concise it is. Spectacular, heartbreakingly beautiful performances from Lucas, Noah, and Shia. 最后Lucas在游泳池边和Shia说话的极短瞬间里能看到这个人物的transformation: 他轻盈了很多,似乎卸下了不少过往的幽灵,Lucas也处理得十分微妙动人。非常感动。#每一个成长故事都是一个复杂的故事。
“The only valuable thing my dad left with me is pain, and you are going to take that away from me?” “Yes.” F***,我又碎了。现在想想骨头依然隐隐作痛,希亚拉博夫自我疗愈的方式竟然是扮演伤害他最深的父亲,受害者扮演加害者真的不会痛吗,他幻想父亲别过头来轻声说“I truly love you.”的时候该有多痛呢,我又会有多痛呢?我一定要被迫原谅吗,长大就要被迫去原谅吗?我能不去原谅吗?(我又开始胡言乱语自我代入了)
无聊无趣又畸形的童年故事,双线叙事墨迹半天,家暴辱骂一整集,片尾父子突兀间和解。引用美国博客网站UPROXX上面的一句话影评:“我意识到这对希亚·拉博夫来说是一部重要的电影,但我不认为这对我们来说很重要。”(I realize this is an important movie for Shia LaBeouf, but I’m not convinced it’s an important movie for us.)5
-The only thing my father gave me that was of any value is pain. And you want to take that away? - Can I? -I’m gonna make a movie about you. -Well, make me look good, honey boy.
