Friday words: The reason why the ten strange talents involved in the following recommended movies are called strange is because the things they are good at are mostly unpopular or partial, such as scamming people, such as making drugs and hacking... And the reason why they are called talents rather than geniuses is because almost all of them have some kind of personality defects, which, combined with their own talents, lead a person to a strange path. The question arises: should we learn or criticize such strange talents, and whether they are treasures or burdens that can be developed in this society? Maybe we can find part of the answer after watching the movie.
"Friday Literature and Art" on the film ——
1. Xili (1983) of "The Biography of Xili" - Specialty: Adapting to the environment
Original name: Zelig
Country: United States
Director: Woody Allen
The old man in the movie "Recommended Words" responds to an old Chinese saying: see people talk about people, and see ghosts talk about ghosts. It's just that he is even more bizarre, so strange that his ability to adapt to the environment has reached the point of instinctive mutation, for example, he sees religious people grow beards, and he sees scientists whose IQ soars... So the movie also has a name called "Chameleon". The film staged a "Wu's" absurd drama in the form of a pseudo-documentary.
2. Hannibal of The Silence of the Lambs (1991) - Specialty: Cannibalism
Former name: Hannibal
Director: Ridley Scott
The protagonist of the "Recommendation" film, Hannibal, is a criminal and also a detective mentor, with elegant manners; he loves food and has a calm personality but is known for eating people, killing people without blinking... Such an appalling demon, should we love or hate?
3. Mindcatcher (Will) (1997) - Specialty: Take knowledge as a whole person
Formerly known as Good Will Hunting
Director: Gus Van Sant
Will is a child prodigy, with the liberal arts and sciences at the top of his game, but he is just a cleaner in college. That's not the point. The crux of the matter was that his contempt for mediocre people had far outweighed his thirst for knowledge, and his talent had transformed into a rebellious attack. In the face of such strange talents, how should schools and society guide them?
4. Frank of Cat and Mouse (2002) - Specialty: Economic Fraud
原名：Catch Me If You Can
Director: Steven Spielberg
"Recommended Language" scammers are everywhere, but teenagers like Frank are enlightened, and even teachers, governments, and the FBI are really not many. The problem is that such a person is usually sentenced to a few shots, but the US authorities have pardoned him and even hired him to work for the FBI! Which play is this singing?
5. "Breaking Bad" Lao Bai (American Drama, 2008) - Specialty: Drug production
Formerly known as Breaking Bad Season 1
Director: Adam Bernstein et al
"Recommended Words" A high school chemistry teacher, due to life and fate, ran to make poison. This system does not matter, live to make themselves into a big brother, a big drug lord, a big entrepreneur... Even his own cancer could not be cured. It's really a strange thing!
6. Mark Zuckerberg of The Social Network (2010) - Specialty: Computer networking
原名：The Social Network
Director: David Finch
"Recommendation" A science man who failed to make a girl in college and embarked on the road of entrepreneurship eventually created the myth of a modern Internet company and created a social media kingdom... Ah, it's a bit weird to think about this entrepreneurial trajectory, from the attempted bubble girl to the corporate myth... The words of the female secretary in the play finally broke the sky: you are just trying to become a bastard!
7. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Chaland (2011) - Specialty: Computer hacking
原名：The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
"Recommended words" pierced ears, hanging lip nails, leather boots, a black body... This Shaland is a gothic girl no matter how he looks. But this gothic girl, who is also a high-IQ computer hacker - casually move your fingers on the keyboard, a few hundred million can be in hand! What is the gulf between high-IQ geniuses and gothics? The film explores in depth through a detective line.
8. Belfort of The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) - Specialty: Merchandising
原名：The Wolf of Wall Street
Director: Martin Scorsese
"Recommended Language" Xiao Lizi plays an entrepreneur who started by selling junk stocks this time. To put it bluntly, he is a pyramid scheme. So, where is the ability of this strange talent, and what he relies on to win people's hearts and develop a "team", this is one of the things that the movie tries to figure out. In other words, if we don't understand the tricks of this kind of person, then in reality we have to be brainwashed and deceived.
9. Andrew of The Burst Drummer (2014) - Specialty: Drum kits
Formerly known as Whiplash
Director: Damien Chazere
In the "Recommended Words" play, this young man in order to become a master-level drummer can be described as a bloody money - the girlfriend is no longer made, the friends have also been offended, and even put aside life and death. But what did he end up getting in exchange? The film tells us about the strange experience of this strange genius.
Arthur Frank of Joker (2019) - Specialty: Acting
Former name: Joker
Director: Todd Phillips
"Recommendation" A "clown" who lives on performances in streets, underground, and bad bars, a performer who is obsessed with entertaining everyone, a low-level person without dignity... All these elements make this man of expertise a tragedy and a burden on society...
Finally, by the way: this issue of recommendation, the author did not have the heart, but found that all movies are "American films". Of course, this does not prove that other countries have not produced movies such as "strange talents", but at least this shows how much effort the United States has put into such films. What is the implication of this? unknown.
