      "A Romantic Ghost Story"

      Today I watched "Atlantique" (Diop, 2019). There are resources on Netflix.

      I write a short review purely on the visual aspect of the movie, so that I won't spoil everyone.

      This movie also takes place at the seaside, and the scene has the texture of "Portrait of a Burning Woman". What impressed me most about this movie is the blue, blue sea, blue light and blue waves. The sea in the night is rarely seen in movies (the last time I saw it...

      Coincidentally echoes the true demands of women in the MeToo movement

      The MeToo movement that has prevailed in Europe and the United States in recent years not only gives women who have been abused and sexually assaulted in the film industry a chance to speak up, but also has a more far-reaching impact in giving women more protection and opportunities to play in the film industry. Just like this year in Cannes, four female directors were shortlisted for the main competition, which is probably rare in the history of Cannes. Three of these four works were...

      A 104-minute poem

      The ocean is an excellent expression image of the film. In Luc Besson's "Blue Sea and Blue Sky", the sea is a mixture of happiness and sadness. The plot and lines are stripped of emotions. The camera follows the endlessness that makes Renault indulge in the sea; in Zhang Zuoji's "Dark Light", Li Kangyi faces The room in Keelung Harbor, the coast where Fan Zhiwei ran across, accompanied by the waves breathing, if there is no rhythm, let the picture be silent again, silence, frozen language...

      Africans are so lazy!

      Several friends are in Africa, and Africa is broken and poor. My friend said that Africans are very lazy, and even if they die poor, they are unwilling to work. Give them money to plant land, they don’t plant it, second they use money to drink and buy food. This is the uncultured Africans, not as good as blacks, so Africa is not worthy of pity. Several friends are in Africa, and Africa is broken and poor. My friend said that Africans are very lazy, and even if they die poor, they are...

      The psychic-style migrant workers are stubborn in asking for wages (the whole process is thinking: do you know that Xu Jinjiang's performance in "Eternal Dragon Slayer" turned his eyes on his...

      The surrealism in the middle is wonderful, the back is too complete, and I have never particularly believed in the love between the heroine and her boyfriend? ? Instead, I feel injustice for my husband and the police (pick...

      Female director, female perspective. The sound of the tide is heard, almost throughout the whole movie. Yuanyang seems to be a courage to live, it makes life full of hope. Of course, there is love. The film relies on a very small point. From the scenes of the ocean and the construction site, from the magical perspective of her boyfriend, she outlines the spiritual core of an African woman who dares to break away from prejudice and pursue herself. I don't know if it's because Mao didn't recruit...

      Ghost movie setting and social reflection bring new life to the old text, unpretentious and with a little thought; the Atlantic Ocean is blue, but it is also red when the sun shines, those who pursue ghosts will also be possessed by ghosts body, self-realization,...

      Mr. Kiyoshi Kurosawa, hurry up and make a "Pacific"! Add in ghosts and urban legends and the sins of the Japanese themselves, and the Palme d'Or is beckoning to you. Mattie Diop has amazing suction! Even the Atlantic was sucked in, giving me that punchy effect in my head, the ghostly stare that struck me. Besides, I once saw the shadow of Claire Denis. Hurry up and suck Kurosawa Kiyoshi, Apichatpong! However, the inclusion of social content and class content in this piece still has a deviating...

    Evaluation action

    "Fire, Next Time" is the first work of director Mati Diop. She has a good control over her creative ability. She is good at using the environment and light to create many unexpected pictures. The film is an unforgettable film about supernatural phenomena. The narrative is based on a love story with a beautiful sense of adulthood   . The film is a relatively long film in terms of sensory experience, and the narrative rhythm is...
