A movie that "moisturizes the silent" makes me feel a good line similar to that encountered in "Mindcatcher" that makes my heart very happy:
"You can already tell me how many rivets are on the Golden Gate Bridge, how long the suspension is used, and how high the bridge is." But only when you really stand on it, see its beauty, and hear the sound of the suspension rope in the wind, that is called experience, that is a human experience. Not just imagination, but life. ”
"Finch" does not have too ups and downs of the plot design, nor too rich character settings, but it can still give us the deepest touch in the apocalyptic journey of one person, one dog, one car, and two machines. Even if it is cloaked in a layer of science fiction, its core expression is still about the most essential emotions of human beings: about survival, about the relationship between man and animals, machines and nature, about companionship, about thoughts, about love.
The yellow sand that covers the sky, the fierce winds that destroy the decay, the life-threatening ultraviolet rays and high temperatures, coupled with the disappearance of human beings, abandoned cities, broken food, etc., portray the apocalyptic world as frightening.
How do you survive in such an environment? Carefully hiding and abandoning the battle for the bottom line? No, but it depends on the love and hope that is retained in the heart. The film satirizes the selfish side of human beings, but what is revealed through Finch is still the light of humanity with kindness and love.
In the process of the growth of the robot "Jeff"'s consciousness, we can see the meaning of companionship. The existence of the robot "Jeff" is not only a helper of Finch, it has gradually become Finch's friend and even family, it is also a sustenance left by Finch to the dog "Goodyear".
The communication between Finch and Jeff provides a lot of fun and warmth for the film, and their conversation in the campfire at night, the conversation about postcards under the umbrella, and the game of throwing the ball together to let the dog pick up the ball all convey the value of emotion to us. Finch's longing for his father and his love for "Goodyear" are the important reasons why people are human.
It is worth noting that in the process of Finch making "Jeff", teaching him to walk, looking for food, driving, and telling stories to tell him the meaning of some words and the meaning of life, they have a relationship similar to "father and son". So their conversation and final farewell under the umbrella have such a touching power.
I really like the part where Finch and Jeff sit under the umbrella, the camera is beautiful, the lines are good, and the emotions are in place. A good film as I understand it is a work like "Finch" that conveys emotional relationships as "silently".
When Finch stretches out his arms to feel the right temperature and ultraviolet environment on the land of butterflies and flowers, we will follow the protagonist to experience a sense of relief.
Such comfort also makes us notice that the natural environment that we usually don't care about so much, sunlight, air, water, flowers, etc., is so precious. Protecting nature and cherishing nature is actually an important theme that the whole film wants to express.
Also, Tom Hanks is such a good actor. He supports the whole story and characters with exquisite and delicate performances, allowing people to immerse themselves in the plot and develop trust and empathy for the character of "Finch".
When we think back to the films he starred in, from Forrest Gump to The Rest of a Desert Island, from Saving Private Ryan to Greyhound, from Sleepless Seattle to The Happy Terminus, from Captain Phillips to Captain Sully, from The Da Vinci Code to Bridge of Spies, from The Miracle in the Green to The Road to Doom, from The Philadelphia Story to The Washington Post, my Goodness, almost every work is of quality!
Find a time to experience the screen life created by Tom Hanks.
