关怀的基本原理

当我读Netflix的《关爱的基础》简介时，我对这部电影没有太多期待。考虑到阴郁的背景，我认为这是一部难以置信的多愁善感、过度情绪化的电影。我不得不说这部电影大大超出了我的预期。首先，《关爱的基础》很好地避免了人们通常与兄弟喜剧类型联系在一起的修辞。它还取笑了clichéd电影中的“残疾人”，一个人要么比生活更伟大，要么对自己的生活感到沮丧。我们看到的是两个非常原始的角色，本(保罗·路德饰演)和特雷弗(克雷格·罗伯茨饰演)，他们只是普通人。本和特雷弗的角色可能是原创的，写得很好，但多特(由赛琳娜·戈麦斯饰演)在整部电影中完全没有发展得很好。比起本，多特这个角色更能激励特雷弗突破自己的极限，跳过自己强加的障碍。尽管这是故事中至关重要的一部分，但角色本身除了空洞的表情和明确的对话外并没有什么贡献。这既是戈麦斯的错，也是电影编剧的错，因为这个角色要么在电影中发展得更多，要么在电影中扮演更小的角色。 While the movie gets off to a strong start, it does not maintain this momentum as it progresses forward. It would have been beneficial for the writers to have stretched the movie's run-time in order to develop the climax more, as it felt incredibly rushed. While increasing the movie's run-time runs the risk of making the movie "too long," I find that a movie that is too short in length sabotages its chance of leaving a lasting impact on its audience. Despite the flaws in the writing of the movie, I found that Paul Rudd and Craig Roberts were phenomenal as Ben and Trevor. Paul Rudd is normally known for his comic roles in movies like Anchorman and Antman. However, he manages to deliver a natural, sincere performance as Ben, a grief stricken caregiver. It is in the quiet, subtle moments of the movie that Rudd manages to convey Ben's suffering and what he's going through. It is these moments that demonstrate that Rudd has a great deal of acting range if it's channeled by his directors. While I have been familiar with Rudd's work, I was not at all familiar with Craig Roberts' work. I recognized him from his small roles in 22 Jump Street and Neighbors (And I had no idea he was British!), but not much else. This movie definitely shows what he's capable of as an actor, and I hope it serves as a suitable launch pad for future roles in his career. His portrayal of Trevor definitely surpassed my expectations, as he gave the character a sense of humanity and avoided going for the clichés. Overall, I would recommend The Fundamentals of Caring to anyone who appreciates a good comedy-drama. While the movie is not perfect, it features two leading actors who are at the top of their game.
