The resource editor of "Tony Erdman" got it very early, but he never had time to write a film review. Recently, when the officials saw that Xiao Wrote the top ten foreign films of the year, they always asked me, "Why don't you write About?" When did Tony write it? We're all looking forward to Tony! ”
I am always stunned, I always feel that someone wants me to write Zou Zhaolong?
Or is it writing About Tony Parker?
Do you want to write Aboutja?
Well, the cold joke is over, "Tony Erdmann" is actually a new film written and directed by German director Maren Ade, shortlisted for the 2016-2017 Golden Globe Awards, and won five awards at the European Film Awards for Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Screenwriter. France's "Film Handbook" and many other mainstream European and American professional film media have listed it as the best film of the year. Of course, the editor also selected it as one of the top ten foreign language films of the year, (Eating melon masses: How old are you?) It can be seen that this film is indeed a rare masterpiece of this year.
The film has an IMBD score of 8.1 and a Rotten Tomatoes Freshness Index of 91%.
However, this work, which is widely acclaimed in Europe and the United States, is not widely welcomed in Douban, and the score shows a P-shaped distribution, with a total score of only 7.7 points.
oh? Douban is such a group that prefers European and American films, why don't you know the goods this time? I watched a lot of Douban short comments that the whole movie is full of middle-class boredom and elite self-redemption, and loves to shake cold humor without solving real problems.
How did the self-proclaimed literary and artistic youth save the world suddenly become inferior to the plight of the elite? It seems that Xiao Wenqing, who is accustomed to drinking poisonous chicken soup, is indeed difficult to swallow this realistic "cold pork".
Although "Tony Erdman" is a story of family love between father and daughter, it is completely different from ordinary inspirational chicken soup movies. The plot of the story is simple: after the death of his beloved dog Willie, Winfred, a german teacher in semi-retirement, took a month's long leave to visit his daughter Enez in Bucharest, like a small stone, thrown into her daughter's foreign life like stagnant water.
When I first started watching the film, I once had the illusion that it was a film made by a Japanese director. Because the whole film is full of restraint and introversion, indifference and seriousness that oriental talents have, coupled with the realistic shooting method, the editor is too cold to do it, and almost doubts whether this film is in vain.
Daughter Enez works for a multinational corporation, is highly paid, has a busy life, has a cold personality, and is capable but has a poor relationship with her colleagues.
Father Winfred, on the other hand, is obedient and casual, has a witty personality, and usually likes to play different roles to tease life.
The relationship between father and daughter is not so much bad as it is a tense and incompatible relationship. Inas was caught off guard by his father's sudden visit, and the father found himself troubled by his daughter's life and was forced to leave in a hurry.
However, his father, who had already left, returned with a hood and dentures. Transformed into Mr. "Tony Erdmann", he appeared grotesquely in The work and life of Ines.
The previously slightly dull and boring rhythm of the film was completely taken by Tony Erdman to another path of humor and nonsense.
Xiaobian even laughed because of a bridge section in the middle. The Germans are humorous, and I am afraid that even they themselves will be afraid.
The whole story is abruptly brought to a climax by waves of cold humor. Inas was also dragged hard by his father, and repeatedly asked for it, leading the song.
"The Greatest Love of All" by Enez
And the affectionate embrace in the park at the end brings the film into the warmest moment. (Don't ask me what the hell that furry thing is, I'd love to know myself)
The film does not actually give Inas and the entire elite a way out of the social predicament, nor does it try to solve the current situation of social disparities. The director seems to have borrowed Tony's phrase "Don't forget the sense of humor" to prevaricate all the problems. However, I think there are many questions in this world that do not have answers, such as life, such as death, and all we have to do is how to face them better, and the movie itself does not need to give an answer. The movie is just another life, another perspective, and the answer is originally in everyone's heart. What ordinary people have to do is how to cherish each other, to give and lose, to smile and face, to cry and remember. As Winfred finally said to his daughter at his grandmother's funeral: Most of life is often occupied by daily chores, and time flows into the water, and so does life. Unfortunately, we are always hindsighted, and when you are in it, you cannot perceive it.
(Finally, a reminder, this film is an R-rated film, not suitable for family viewing, please find a corner where no one is slowly experiencing.) ）
