Fear and Desire

Everyone is an island

Everyone is an island, and islands and islands are floating on the sea. Sometimes we meet and destroy each other like planets collide, more often we never see each other for real, just float.

Fear, who would like it!

The film opens with a poem that leads to this unspecified story. The panning shot at the beginning of the forest scene is mysterious, and the jungle seems to be full of danger and anxiety. Four soldiers landed on enemy positions in the crash, desperate to get back to safety. The whole film shapes the characters' personalities through dialogues with characters, such as Coby, who is always calm and philosophical, Mike who is tough and alert, Sidney who is innocent and vulnerable, and Fletcher...

Just an island

People can never fully communicate and understand. What you tell is the story you want to tell, and what he hears is what he wants to hear. This confirms the line of the movie: sometimes talking is an irreplaceable medicine, but it will be more uncomfortable later.

Several unsuccessful communications completely dispelled my desire to try to tell and explain. Since loneliness is inevitable, let loneliness fill me.

Just like the young...

Turn some newspapers and magazines on Kubrick's debut

The reviews are from the book Kubrick's Films by Norman Kagan.
The Blu-ray version was released on 10/23/12.

Variety:
"A creative war art piece that stands out with fresh cinematography and poetic dialogue."

"He artistically captures the eccentric attitudes to death, the gobbling of hungry men. And their bestiality, showing in one scene how destructive desire can be for a poor young soldier."


The New York Times noted that Kubrick and Sackler ( The...

sad view of the world

[Fear and Desire] may not be as successful as [Citizen Kane] and [Blood Labyrinth]. But I am afraid that in terms of the theme of choice, Kubrick has devoted his life to the two themes of war and the cruel nature of human beings.

Even this work in his early twenties is melancholy and indifferent. Although the funds for the shoot were low, the tools available were also limited. But from a visual standpoint, the film is very cinematic. There is also a hint of absurdism.

Kubrick's...

Compared with the previous three short films, the debut feature film is in a fog, but the control of the war theme is beginning to...

The Blu-ray restoration version has a new look, a rough experimental war film, which seems to be a fusion of Bergman's philosophical thinking, Renoir's poetry, and Fuller's roughness, but the moral awareness and photography style in it can still predict Kubrick. Shadows of the future. Paul Mazursky as an actor also did...

How can the picture quality be so poor, it is simply a woodblock print of activity! The sound is also terrible, like a strange sound when it is only played at 0.1x speed. Is there a better version of this...

2.5 stars, the Blu-ray repaired version fixes many problems on the film of the year. The picture quality is not bad, and the film is not as bad as the director thought, but there are still some bright spots, especially the scene of rushing in and killing a few soldiers drinking soup. Great and visually striking. The carrier of war films is about the surly and absurd after the distortion of human nature. Although the actors' military uniforms are very funny, it is difficult to find faults...

70/100, 1. The first Cookbury film in June is more than halfway through the progress of Cookbury's single patch. In fact, it can be seen from his early films that he is a director with style. 2. My favorite is still the scene of grabbing a gun. It is fierce and violent, and the scene is full of cult flavor. The dialogue like verses is already his third movie about war, and he thinks about war from different...
