      Content and audio-visual summary of "Zama"

      ①The male protagonist Zama is a native Spanish governor in a remote mountain village in Argentina. He longs for a promotion from the Spanish king and despises the local aborigines, but after a series of efforts, he neither gets the echo of the king nor defeats the local robbers. In the end, he was besieged by robbers and paid the price of breaking his hands. With the help of the aborigines, he barely escaped on a boat.

      ② An atmosphere of "lost"...

      Historical subjects with strong experimental colors

      The Argentine female director, who has been away for nearly 10 years, still sticks to the same author style as before, and delivers a treacherous work. I want to use experimental historical themes as a work that summarizes this multi-theme discussion. We watch a lot of conventional Western historical dramas, either it is a court drama with a life-and-death fight, or a war poem full of blood and iron horses, and then it is material desire. The love-hate feelings that are erotically...

      I say no to your hope

      'I did you no one did for me, I say no to your hope.'

      // 5.1 Junior high school composition level... The writing is too rubbish...

      The coconuts are worthless. ZAMA uttered these words absentmindedly, along with denying his whole life, or the meaning of universal life. Ignoring his supervisor, he broke free from them and stumbled towards the beach. When others angrily thought it was deceit, Vicuña Porto understood him. After he had...

      Organic image

      For the first time, I rushed back to the dead line at 10:30, and at the same time realized the miracle of watching the most boring movie of the year without falling asleep. Faced with the top three international boring movies of the year in the movie manual, although it is still not much. Understand, but insist on understanding, it is worthy of encouragement and encouragement.

      Zama tells the story of the exiles trapped in the colony. The story is very...

      Between the present image and the past history it depicts, there is an endless ghost, and countless souls who have been tricked by fate are trapped in it. The thoughts of return are muddy and sticky, exiled with the flow, let the unbridled disintegration of the real, write into a lamented...

      When an ordinary request turns into a never-ending wait, and time turns a wish into a desire, then one has to admit that it is just an extravagant hope. Having a “hope” will not make people give up, and what will eventually lead to is Completely hopeless and hopeless, the male's bravery, timidity, incompetence, anger and lust are vividly...

      Three and a half. Lucezia Martell's high requirements for images are almost integrated into her texture, and the South American scenery shows her broad vision. It's just that poetic narrative with a sense of fate, in the flow of time, gradually changed from understanding the passage of exotic customs to spying on anecdotes, and the appeal of rising intentions tends to be...

    Evaluation action

    The film is a movie miracle. The director Martel has a wonderful vision, which can generate tension through the arrangement of the body in a picture and scene, and the effect is like any spoken line   . (Commented by "The New York Times" film critic Manola Dalguis)
    As usual in Martel's films, the story of the film is secondary, even the content of the video is so thin. But the dampness of South America, colonial fanaticism, and playful...
