In recent years, the first generation of Hollywood actresses born in the 1980s has had a hard time, and many people have fallen into a bottleneck period in their careers.
such as the Oscar queen born in 1981, Natalie Portman , from "The First Lady" to "Planeta", from "The Sound of Light" to "Lucy in the Sky", they are just not warm A moderately unpopular work;
Natalie Portman
, like the Scarlett Johansson who was born in 1984, , this year with "Jojo's Whimsical World" and "Marriage Story" In the awards season, I got a bunch of nominations, and the results were still unreceived in major awards;
Scarlett Johansson
and another one- Anne Hathaway , born in 1982. Although
has already won the statuette with "Les Miserables" , Anne Hathaway seems to have not been treated as an acting school.

looks back on her last year's work, whether it is "The Striking Game" co-starring with Matthew McConaughey or co-starring with Rebel Wilson "Heart Stealer" , word of mouth is disappointing, and finally cooperated with "Hulk" Mark Ruflow on a high-quality "Black Water" , but silently became the awards Ji Yizhu.
The final report card of Anne Hathaway in 2019 is the "worst actress" who was nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award, or two works are nominated at the same time...
In 2020, another movie starring Goddess The work has just been launched on Netflix, cooperating with the newly "laid off" "Batman" Ben Affleck and the old acting school William Dafoe - "Father's Last Wish" .

actor configuration looks quite good, but the word-of-mouth after the film went live is surprising: IMDB score of 4.3, Meta score of 35, domestic Douban score of 4.8, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes is so low. 7% of human hair.

should be given to the director and the screenwriter, just because they are all the same person-the black female director Di Rees. It may be that two years ago directed by Di Reese's "Earth World" gave Netflix a taste of the sweetness, but the leading streaming media may not have thought that the director's performance was so unstable.

First of all, what is not correct is that "Father's Last Will" is not about "father's last wish" at all. The film tells the story of the reporter Elena, played by Anne Hathaway, who promised to take over the deal of her father who was seriously ill, and was involved in a mysterious and dangerous arms trade-when her father mentioned it. He didn't die at all, so why did you say that?
Secondly, "Father's Last Wish" is also one of the few movies I have seen in recent years with narrative such a chaotic . It is difficult for the average audience to distinguish the main line, side lines, and character relationships of the film.

At the beginning of the film, Elena, as a war correspondent, found traces of American ordnance in the civil war battlefield of the Central American country Nicaragua . After returning to China, she wanted to continue to dig this clue. , But was stopped by his superiors and could only begin to follow up on the election news of President Reagan .
On the other hand, Elena's father, whom Elena was not close to, suddenly became seriously ill. From the first meeting between the two, we can learn that this father is hardly a qualified father. He almost missed most of Elena’s growth. The relationship between the father and daughter was not good, but he was asked to take over by the father. During the inexplicable gray transaction, Elena, a reporter with a sense of justice, actually agreed?

Thirdly, after the divorce, Elena is busy with work, and there is also a daughter who was lost in foster school. The two will often talk on the phone, from mutual comfort to daughter complaining, to Elena revealed the "last words" of care-to be honest, I don't see any effect on the plot of the film, and in the end there is no complete explanation.

The three story lines are actually not complicated. A reporter who wants to dig news, a daughter who catches a duck on the shelves, and a mother who cares about her daughter, but all of these were flew to Costa Rica by Elena. At that time it was all messed up.

Who is the consignee of the connector, and why is the payment turned into drugs? Why did Elena find Jones, and where did Jones take her? Why did CIA officer Morrison suddenly arrive there? Why did Elena and Morrison come up for a chat and then go to bed? Since Morrison wanted to kill Elena, why didn't he touch him so many times, so he got the last?

I can almost always write down questions like this. Of course, you can finally sort out these threads by watching carefully back and forth, and restore the true nature of the story, but this is meaningless and there is no feature film. It should have left most viewers completely confused at first glance.
So, the main problem of this film is the messy script and poor scheduling ability of the director. Anne Hathaway, "Benbat" and William Dafoe were all pitted more or less. In fact, Annie ·Hathaway's performance this time has many remarkable features.

The image of a war reporter she portrays is quite reasonable. Not only does she have a rough makeup that is different from the past, she always has a sense of fatigue at all times, and she is vigorous and vigorous at work. The non-trivial character is also very clear, especially the scene of sitting on the ground next to a row of phones, which can make people feel the tough style of a war reporter who has been polishing on the front line for a long time.
It is worth mentioning that Anne Hathaway dedicated a sex scene with Ben Affleck for no reason, but in the scene of her dedication to art, we see Elena’s chest The scars and the collapsed breasts on one side, and then she was looking at the mirror and stuffing the bra with padding, which was even more moving. Details like
can actually enrich the image of Elena, reminiscent of the risks that this war reporter has experienced in his work. Unfortunately, in the absence of a good chapter in the film, this kind of " The effect of "good sentences" is already negligible.
Although the movie "Father's Last Wish" is disappointing, the historical events behind its story are worth talking about. The film
is based on the novel of the same name by the American woman writer Joan Didion . The story behind the story alludes to the role played by the US government in Nicaragua’s internal affairs in the 1980s.The latter even brought the US government to an international court, causing a sensation.
Joan Didion
The earliest incident can be traced back to 1912. After the United States established a military base in Nicaragua, Nicaragua has become a puppet regime of the United States.
However, the resistance of the indigenous peoples has never stopped. By 1979, it was when the revolutions in Asia, Africa and Latin America were surging, and it was also a critical period of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. The left-wing party "Santino National Liberation Front" in Nicaragua was in the Soviet Union and Cuba. A coup was launched under the support of the United States, which overthrew the pro-American regime of the Somoza family for 40 years, and what followed was a series of revenges by the Reagan administration of the United States.
Former U.S. President Reagan
As shown in "Father's Last Will", the U.S. government secretly supports the rebels "Contra", helping them train soldiers and provide weapons and funds, with the intention of overthrowing the left-wing regime , so The story of the film is indeed supported by historical facts.
In 1984, in order to further blockade Nicaragua’s economy, the United States planted mines at Corinto, Sandino and other ports. Within a few months, several merchant ships from the Netherlands, the Soviet Union, Japan, and the United Kingdom were blown up by mines. Nicaragua's import and export trade has completely stopped.
Nicaragua Falls
The Nicaraguan government had no choice but to sue the U.S. government in the International Court of Justice. After the U.S. government repeatedly prevented the International Court from intervening, the International Court of Justice still held that the U.S. is obliged to immediately stop and no longer take any actions that violate its international obligations. , And compensate for the damage caused.
However, the U.S. government did not buy into the judgment of the International Court of Justice and refused to implement it. The Nicaraguan government further applied to the UN Security Council. As one of the five permanent members, the United States has exercised one vote on this issue for five consecutive years. veto power.
The five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council
The government of Nicaragua continued to ask for assistance from the UN General Assembly. The majority of the countries in the voting result supported Nicaragua, but the UN General Assembly did not have compulsory force, and its voting results continued to be ignored by the US government. Since then, the United Nations General Assembly will vote on this case every year, and fewer and fewer countries support the United States. It is said that only Israel is left.
In such a long international dispute, the United States still did not stop interfering in Nicaragua’s internal affairs. Before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, candidates supported by the United States won the Nicaragua general election. Nicaragua reorganized a pro-American government and withdrew the previous lawsuit against the United States. .
In return, the U.S. government led Nicaragua in economic aid of about 500 million US dollars, which completely turned this page. When the pro-American faction stepped down, the new leader of Nicaragua made claims again, the U.S. had no longer Acknowledge it.
Now more than thirty years have passed, and Nicaragua is still a poor group.
