    3.5, The fragile and restless life and loneliness of the individual are captured by the political economy of symbols, as well as the fashion symbol of "forbidden", and consumption = death. Assayas, a film critic, tries to give a clear, quasi-genre definition of "ghost image" in "Personal Buyer", and completes a "Darkroom Secret" companion, or a typical The Japanese-style ghost movie, in the second half of the film, the hotel corridor elevator, electronic doors and dialogue about ghosts lead the...

    Screen rewatch. Like other Assayas works I've seen, the plot has strong deep meaning but no integration, each thread is on its own at the ideographic level, but the narrative maintains its drive and viewing appeal in a calm uniformity. The casting is interesting, each actor's voice and face are very strange, the speech is expressionless and the sound is silent like a sermon robot. At the same time, the range of lens selection is extremely narrow (basically all mid-range half-length shots), and...

    88/100, an anti-type experiment was carried out with the basic structure of the genre film. Under the flow of the inner core, suspense and ghosts are just shells (like Kurosawa Kiyoshi in this respect), what Assayas really wants to output is The aspect of the individual: "Spiritual medium" is the interaction with outside the self, and uses mysterious texture and preset time and space to drive the characters to complete the awakening of spirit and flesh, which is constantly full of oppression...

    In his study of discourse networks, Kittler argued that the typewriter of the 20th century disassociated personalities from written texts. The notes I made at the time (divergence) summed it up as follows: since the typewriter typeface was no longer subject to masculinity (characteristics), it was depersonalized, and women were given access to technology and words. For example, the works of many women writers are also not rejected by publishers as female handwriting. Assayas wrote so much about...

    Maureen Cartwright: Lewis, is it you?

    [pauses]

    Maureen Cartwright: Or is it just me?

  • Erwin: [to Maureen] You know how they say the dead watch over the living? I've thought about that a lot. Not just because Lewis was a medium. I don't know what that means. For me, he was someone deeply intuitive of others. He, uh... understood things that went unspoken. He did. Maybe because he knew he was going to die. I mean, I felt that he saw things which I didn't. Maybe you do too. He thought you had the same gifts...
