On the whole, the deliberately created light and shadow effects of the film are amazing. The whole film is immersed in a pale white tone, and there are often oppressive overexposure shots. The characters in the frame are covered and submerged by white light. The director has his aesthetic intentions. But I also don't want to impose a membership. Although the image is stylized, it fills up many gaps in details quite smoothly. This is not to say that the film gives people a sense of improper connection. Instead, it has more poetic and illusory feelings to fill in the conflict with reality, and the story. Ridiculously consistent. The image of so white engulfing many things is just like the "blindness" in the film.
I like this film quite a bit. Although it has a bipolar appraisal, the few simple shots at the opening traffic lights from near to far give me a sense of familiarity that I will definitely like it?
"Blind Flu" is adapted from the Nobel Prize-winning novel "Blind". The story tells the story of a bizarre disease sweeping the world. A white light flashes in front of the sick person without warning, and then he plunges into a bright and invisible world. The protagonist is a group of weakly connected people, and their contact with the disease is limited to accidental encounters in life, one disease after another. In order to curb this unexplained disaster, the government decided to centralize the management of the sick before finding a solution and isolate them under the pretense of quarantine. In fact, they allowed them to fend for themselves.
Julianne Moore, as the wife of an ophthalmologist, the husband was sick overnight after seeing a patient who was suddenly blind. When her husband was forcibly sent to the isolation facility by the government, she was worried and decided to pretend to be blind and go with her.
The development of the plot is the ugly human confrontation in the isolation center. They are a group of people who cannot see each other's faces. They don't know each other. For the sake of hunger and sexual desire, they have made civilized and intolerant mutual bites in this completely abandoned area. The anarchic detention centers have evolved factions that seek their own benefits. The king of dormitory No. 3 is the representative, hoarding food, and asking patients to fill their stomachs with property transactions; and even threatening the dormitories. Women as a bargaining chip to buy food.
While watching the movie, I stumbled upon that those familiar feelings are precisely the "Eye Variations" that closely compels humanity, but compared with the total desperation of the "Eye" film, the "blind flu" is still not forgotten in the gloom. Capturing the goodness that coexists with.
Escape from the quarantine is a more obvious dividing line. A group of people come to the heroine’s home and lead a life like a family. Among them are the shower scenes where friends are moisturizing each other, laughing and enjoying this rare and precious peaceful reunion; there are also unexpected loves. Budding between them, the old one-eyed black man and the young woman with good-looking faces exuded affection before they had ever met; the couple facing a break in their relationship in the isolation house regained their initial warm memories after experiencing the sinister people.
However, if it only ends here, the blind flu is a movie that explores the deepest good and evil of human nature. It may be novel but not sharp enough. The best and the worst of human nature become more angular in the life and death. This description may appear in the blind flu, but it is erected before and after the film like a scene, which really strung the soul of the story. , But fell on the heroine Julianne Moore. Her identity and her mental transition are what makes this work unique.
In a blind world, the heroine walked through this experience with clear eyes. How did she face this ever-changing world and human nature? Blindness and non-blindness have bluntly torn the world into "civilization" and "nature."
The heroine sees the third bedroom as the king, inhumane asking others to contribute money and robbing the female body; when she also sees the woman asking for voluntary dedication in exchange for food, some people rely on everyone blindly and silently. Nothing, even hiding under the bed. However, she couldn't bear all this, she voluntarily dedicated herself with tolerance and selflessness, and competed for welfare in a twisted world in a twisted way.
Such harm is beyond words. It is not that other people who lose control due to blindness suffer less injury, but that their injuries are fundamentally different.
There is a saying in the BBS movie version: "The heroine is a person who is completely excluded." When others have to sink because of losing their advantages, she suppresses her own advantages and accepts the irrationality that she can "clearly feel". Not only that, she is helpless with the collapsed humanity and system. She can't help the patients with wound infections, nor can she ask everyone to stop drowning. When others can find an excuse for losing her civilization because of her blindness, she cannot find an outlet for her own civilization and education. For this reason, she even drifted away from her husband, but she knew from beginning to end that these uncivilized people were caused by circumstances, and she firmly accepted all of this; when she discovered that her husband had a relationship with a good friend, she said: "It doesn't matter, there is no need to explain, otherwise I will not understand what I see." Then he hugged the woman who was crying out of helplessness, who seduced her husband.
When the helplessness of others can be expressed by instinct, she still needs to play a considerate role, restrained in a civilized role. But acceptance does not mean being free from harm. It is precisely because she rationally understands that she needs to accept, that makes her heart hurt unspeakably.
She had several crashes in the movie, two of which were impressive. For the first time, it was a man who became suppurated because of a foot injury that could not be treated. He roughly pulled her skirt and said, "I know you can see it." "No, I can't see it." "Don't you believe me, no? Believe in a thief?" After pulling, she returned to her husband, who comforted her as always, and then said, "What time is it." Looking at the watch in her hand, her depressed mood broke. "I forgot to wind the clockwork." She was so cherished and relied upon, the last unblind person. Maybe it's just the trivial things in life, bathing for her husband, handling defecation, and telling the time. This scene confirms the depth of the original work. She is supposed to be the only order, but she is also helpless and tired. Her inner desire is to walk the clock pointer at every correct point in time, but she has no energy to go any further. Clockwork.
After escaping from the quarantine, there was a scene where she entered the supermarket to find food for her partner. She avoided other people groping for food on the shelves and found the food in a secret basement. When she wanted to walk out of the supermarket with brand-new food, she was dragged by the crowds because of the smell of food on her body. She kept snarling and pushing, trying to escape the ugliness of fighting for food, until she was dragged away by her husband. Afterwards, she sat on the stairs, watching the wild dogs gnawing on the corpses of people, feeling nauseous, but a docile domestic dog passed by, not fighting for the ugliness of eating the corpses, but lovingly licked the heroine’s cheeks. . Like relying on the same sickness, she showed a rare smile.
These two things seem trivial, but they record the fragility and redemption of the heroine from front to back quite obscurely, which also echoes the dark atmosphere in the middle of the film and the bright atmosphere in the back. From the very beginning, she felt that she was about to be overwhelmed, to the time when she felt that she was in the shopping mall in the ugly way of defending food, and finally found that she still found warmth from this docile domestic dog. Worrying about the increasingly broken personality, the author of "Blind Flu" seems to be more generous. Compared with the layers of "Hell Yee Variations", the heroine of the blind flu still finds a relatively warm psychological outlet.
What exactly is "blind"?
This is a huge development in the movie, so that it seems a little bit of a small family to list all the meanings in a few words. The ending narration is thought-provoking. The partner next to the heroine, the first person to contract a strange disease can suddenly be seen. This is a joyful moment. Perhaps everyone will recover one by one, and everyone will be embracing happily. However, there are still small doubts and silence growing on a few people.
The film narrator said: "They will see it again, and this time, they will actually see it. But who would be so timid to hide in the world of blind people, who would be afraid to lose the intimacy of blindness, who would have expected this unusually silent woman to have such amazing power and now so free. She had expected the city to roar loudly: "I can see it." But she thought. I'm going blind. 』
She saw the sincere love between the one-eyed black and the young woman, as well as the crudeness and violence of the survival consciousness; but when the eyesight came back again, would the old one-eyed black continue to fall in love with the beautiful woman? Can the bad things that were done when civilization was broken, can they be eliminated? She has witnessed those people "with her own eyes", including herself. She really has no excuses and cannot be "true" ignorant and ignorant like other people. She had forced herself to do depraved things, even though she always reminded herself that she wanted to be clear. How she should deal with herself when everything returns, this is the last big suspense of the film, hidden in the joyful and melancholic atmosphere of other people, only growing in the heart of this silent woman.
Perhaps it is not a good thing to be alone.
Weaving some moving stories tells me that I know everything about reality
