    Character Evaluation

    As an Irish intellectual, Neil Jordan's films are full of strong Irish characteristics and Irish theme expressions. His high attention to his own national destiny and in-depth exploration of national character and consciousness have won him a wide range of reputation. At the same time, his works often contain a rich sense of art and imagination, and in philosophical themes, they show tireless exploration of the proposition of the multi-faceted variability of human nature. The characters in his films are mostly marginalized, with extremely complex and elusive personalities, making it difficult to generate a sense of recognition. He is keen to provide subjective perspectives, emphasizing individual subjective perception, emphasizing the expression of emotions, subconsciousness, and life philosophy, and exhibiting the discussion of "reality" in modern film narratives. He is not accustomed to imposing his own ideas on the audience, and has never allowed the character to jump out of the plot and give a long talk to the camera like Jean-Luc Godard. Rather, it retains more of the ambiguity and ambiguity of real life itself, and it also allows the audience to carry out diversified filtering thinking on the film itself and even real life, and then the audience can make their own judgments. This kind of treatment also reflects Jordan's true perception, experience and thinking of human nature, life, and the world.    .
