      Chinese and American people are very different

      Let's talk about a digression first~~ There are a lot of bean friends in Leicester's biography~ I

      watched this film by Haynes in 1995 in the film elective course. From beginning to end, the progress is slow, the texture of the picture is cool, the lines and Zhu Zhu have no waves. Miss Lianne Moore's seemingly unreal allergy symptoms are all I have of the film. So I'm giving a "OK" rating not because I really think the movie is OK, but because it's really beyond what I can evaluate and...

      Safety

      "Safety" describes an inexplicable allergic disease in modern society. Carol, an upper-middle-class housewife living the easy life everyone dreams of, suddenly develops a syndrome that appears to be an allergy to chemicals. Since then, she has discovered that many people suffer from the disease, which she calls an "environmental disease allergic to the 21st world." However, from the point of view of the film, no definite conclusions have been made for the case, and the audience cannot determine...

      "Safe and Sound"

      It's really not like a Todd Haynes movie. It seems that environmental air pollution and external chemical erosion are directly defined as the cause of the protagonist played by Julianne Moore. Properly digging deeper, there are also social self-awareness of the middle class "no zuo no die", as well as the performance of the end-of-the-world crisis that has often appeared in movies at the end of the last century and spread to the big and small screens.

      But from the overall experience,...

      After watching "safe"

      In the elective class in the first semester of my freshman year, the professor asked me to watch and write about my feelings after reading it. It was really painful to watch. I was already very tired and dejected in class. After watching this movie successfully, I felt even more depressed. It was great. The first scenes, the shooting techniques and the BGM can be scary at times. The interior design of their house has a lot to analyze. There are many chairs designed by bauhaus, and there are...

      The only safe thing is yourself in the mirror

      Who has the most living space? Of course the middle class and above. But more space doesn't mean more security. likeAs many shots in the first half express, the standard indoor composition, normal dialogue state, and living state are all taken in the middle and long shots, deliberately creating a sense of alienation, and the close shots are basically given to Moore who started symptoms. The few shots pushed Moore's mood a little bit, from being overwhelmed to being overwhelmed, all...

      I'm feeling a little bored.....

      "Environmental disease"? It just shows that the middle-class housewives are trapped in the impetuous, boring and stereotyped life circle, and a little error in the regular life will cause stress and collapse, that is, the loss of self-consciousness in the surface of peaceful and rich life. The treatment area in the film, the pursuit of environmental protection and inner peace, and the restraint of desires, are a bit religious/pyramid no matter how you look at them. didn't like it. Probably...

      Procrastination. The scene and sound design of the first half are excellent, successfully creating the edge and alienation of the heroine in the family and surrounding environment. However, the cross-narrative of disease metaphors and self-awakening is not well-knitted, leaving viewers at a loss. I don't think the heroine awakened herself at the end. She just moved from the "normal" and "healthy" created by her husband and sisters to a new round of brainwashing by the initiators of the retreat....

      It's rather boring. From beginning to end, I use all means to show the state of the heroine, just show it. Some of the vibes are like horror movies from that era with androids or alien...

    Movie plot

    The most political fable of the post-AIDS era.

    However, one day, the calm days suddenly came to an end. Carroll began to experience nosebleeds, dizziness, and...
