[REVIEW FILM] The Weather Man
The film, The Weather Man, was released in 2005 by Nicolas Cage and has an IMDb 6.5 rating, but to me, this movie is much more valuable.
The film is about an MC hosting the weather forecast, he started to step up the ladder of success in his career but faced the failure in personal life.
The weather is very unpredictable, when we think it rains the whole day is hot, when we expect a sunny day to hang out, it rains; The weather forecast is also the most boring thing on TV, but why does it exist and still has viewers? Because the weather affects their lives, they want to know in advance for future plans.
In order to make the show interesting, the MC will try to create a style that appeals to viewers, faces, and funny jokes. It's like the way the protagonist David is doing, he said, he performed in front of the camera, he just pointed at the green background behind it as if it was something on it, actually nothing over. Thanks to being good at this, he advanced.
When someone recognized him, he turned away, especially uncomfortable when someone asked about the weather, because he knew nothing about the weather, it was all a wild prediction, it made him shy. Sometimes people asked him for autographs, he got angry, he thought they were sarcastic, when in fact they admired him because they saw him on TV.
He had a father who had a Pulitzer Prize-winning book, and he also wished to do so, the biggest dream of his life was to write such a work, but he seemed more suited to MC work, collecting Enter high, famous, grouse girls.
However, what does the family see? Husband and wife divorced, fat and passive daughter, the son did not realize that he was interacting with a pedophile who was a teacher. His family is a fragmented form of modern life.
Why did a man like David succeed? Because he is a symbol of modern human nature, fascinated by fame, selfish and superficial, wholesome, rough and rude, thinking that money can bring happiness, good performance, like most famous idols being honored.
Throughout the movie, I was expecting some kind of deep expression but none, he only realized it all at the end. He was like the profession he was following, empty and meaningless. Something meaningless but people try to give it a meaning, so it's cliché. The cliché also manifests itself in his name change, a name must "sound" to "quality", changing the name also means that people negate themselves, as long as achieving success.
Why did other people use fast food to throw you in the movie Happy Happiness Manh? Because they are cheap, bland food, but people are forced to eat them every day, what is thrown is the least valuable thing, even the ones who throw him, they are essentially the same as what they throw. , because they only do it for fun, not really hate him, sometimes they throw because of jealousy with his "success", because he is famous.
What does the failure novel of David say? That a person of your nature cannot write a valuable book, but the purpose of going forward is to be commended. But the irony is that it makes the wife laugh at her, she's no better, she's also the person of the times, so are his children, they're the children of the times. So are the kids in the elevator. The era when his father thought it was like "shit".
What about the death of a father? It shows the end of what is truly valuable, if once upon a time a famous person had written a winning book, then today one would expect the success of David.
Even so, before he left, he also helped him realize the nature of life, although he thought that life was like "shit" but David's success was to be commended, because in the end we have to live in it, and we try to rise up in our true nature.
His job is to write, and it's not for people like David, he just needs to do what is right for him. That doesn't mean promoting vanity and lies, think of it as more humane and tolerant, it's also the existential nature that each person pursues in what they have.
What does David's promotion say in the film Happy Happiness? That's not really because he is a symbol of "fast food" of the era, it is also a leap in awareness, like how to get back your real name, not use the name when you were MC weather forecast. If before, everything he did was a manifestation of the unconscious, that is, not knowing what he was doing, not knowing why unhappiness in his personal life, not understanding the weather was the forecaster. weather, or never hit an bull's eye.
But after those troubles, he realized his true nature, realized the social nature of his life, so that he could improve his personal life, hit the target and help his children overcome difficulties. Despite this social reality, he himself also found peace.
That is, at a higher level of success a higher level of awareness is needed, although what you do in that level of success may still be cliché and frivolous, you are aware of itself, because this new age is like that.
In fact, we see a lot of things, like people who want to do charity, here I'm talking about people who really want real relief, they are forced to find a way to make a reputation with big conferences or Luxury party to pull sponsors. It's a form of compromise, the rich want fame, the organizers need money for relief.
In the long run, that compromise makes the world go down in value, but apart from that, what else can they do to save millions of starving people in Africa? No reputation, no funding. So when some people disdain those luxurious parties, saying that it spits, saying that the host is a fake, they don't really understand the nature of the problem.
Or like my articles, if I write only reflections on the nature of the world, how many people are interested in reading? I had to borrow meaningful books and movies, pointing out the implications of which many people read. Or there are many other people, they have to act, they have to make jokes, they have to be witty and funny, and through which they mention the problems of society. Or as the way King Lo Lo did, he produced comedies, so that we could feel love and sympathy for those in need.
But thinking, efforts to change the world are more difficult, like the death of the father in the film. The trend of the times is that it is difficult to change, what he can do before he dies is to help his children to recognize, and what David can do after realizing is to help his children.
In this age, awareness can only be transmitted in a personal way, and for most people it is helpless. Just like the movie industry today has fewer good films than before, at some point you will realize that watching old movies is very useful and necessary, and the film Happy Happiness is such a thing.
