Escape is not shameful, but rebirth requires not only courage but also wisdom

Good movies always give the audience a long aftertaste and deep thinking, and the French film "Synonym" definitely belongs to this category. I don't want to go to anti-Semitic or other overly political ideas. I feel that such vivid, complex and human-changing films are incomparable to those political films that are clearly one-sided and blindly provocative.

1. It is not shameful to escape, but re-survival requires not only courage but also wisdom. The hero goes to...

bathtub and yellow coat

Yova lying naked in the bathtub was found by Elime and Caroline early in the morning. He was reawakened in bed, waiting for a journey of integration, or about to face a new life and "learn to be a man" again.

At the beginning of the film, the naked Yova looks like a newborn baby, naked, lying in a container. The bathtub is like a uterus, and the little warm water left is like residual amniotic fluid, supplying insignificant "nutrients". This huge baby seems to have experienced...

Flows between reflection and critique of Jewish traditional culture and Western values

The Berlin Film Festival came to a close last weekend with the Golden Bear going to Israeli director Nadav Lapid's "Synonyms." Although the film received polarized reviews after its premiere, it still ranked first in the competition unit with the highest score (3 points) in the daily magazine. After watching his "Police" many years ago, I felt that he is the new hope of Asian directors. Now it may be slightly changed. It should be the new hope of European film directors, which is...

Best "Refugee" Movie of the Year! The beauty of Paris is charity to outsiders

If Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" rejected the "occupation" of Paris by outsiders in time, then "Synonymes" , winner of the Berlin Film Festival's Golden Bear , completely expelled immigrants in space entry.

"Synonyms" tells the story of Yoyaf, a young man from Israel, who left his hometown and went to Paris, France, hoping to...

freedom relative

What the male protagonist yearns for is that free Paris, the romantic and fashionable capital that all of us envy, but the difference between the male protagonist and us may be that he was an Israeli and a Jew before. Immersed in the environment he wanted to flee from, elitism, absolute obedience... This is evident from his previous military experience, because he was in a state of rebellion, so he wanted to flee, flee his country. And when he found out that the Paris he dreamed of being...

An Israeli soldier flees to Paris and decides to turn his back on his country and never speak Hebrew again. He learns French voraciously, telling his past in written, poetic and bizarre French far above the demands of everyday life, and the strings of synonyms he has learned from the dictionary are like bullets shooting at his identity history. The narration is extremely unpredictable, the performance is very physical, different photography styles, and various framing options have contributed...

not good looking! I don't know what to say later, is it not the commonplace identity and immigration issues. There are many bright spots, such as the different colors of different rooms in the opening scene and even the cut shots at different times. I like a few bursts of music. For example, when the heroine turned on and off the lights when the male 1 and the male 2 were listening to the song together, the camera lens also followed. Vigorous rocking up and down. Every time the whole scene is...

9 points. The development of the film and the violent shaking of the camera lens are as abrupt and unnatural as the implied character of the male protagonist. Does it make sense? The performance of the male protagonist in the concert was really unexpected. Is there enough and natural foreshadowing ahead? I like the ending, the metaphors are obvious. Seemingly close like synonyms, they may still be turned away at any time. As an outsider and refugee, the kindness he received in France stemmed...

8.3 Rapid must not know that there is an idiom in China called "Handan toddlers". The camera is still playful, and the concept of synonyms has expanded from vocabulary to human nature and even society. It is very powerful and helpless, and it is quite social allegory. However, I feel that the change in the second half is still a bit hasty, and I can't find a point of...
