Live up to the reputation

I tend to think this is really a movie made as a horror story rather than a hallucination of a neurotic mother. I don't think Polanski needs to do this psychoanalytic exhibition after Cry. Like most of his films, this film is both a genre classic and a transcendence that cannot be imitated by its contemporaries. The changes to the ending of the original work are a stroke of genius, restoring the motherhood while revealing Polanski's inherent sense of arrogance and absurdity. But this ending should also be the most criticized by religious people. Judging from the aftermath of his wife being brutally murdered by members of the Manson Church, it is indeed very strange.

Much has been written about the bizarre combination of Polanski's film and life. Occasionally I feel that his films have the unpleasant honesty of those who are loyal to their hearts - whether it is the depiction of desire, the direct view of darkness, the calmness of paradox, the confession of rebellion - is it because of this that he originally Talent must be severely scolded and tortured in life?

"I like the shadows in movies, but not in life" - It's hard to decide what the word "destiny" is about Polanski, but as an audience, I admire his kindness that is still sharp to this day I don't know if I should call it the immutable nature or the innocence, the self in the works.



Mia Farrow's appearance is ordinary, but her eyes are bright, her body is thin and fragile, her voice is gentle and sensitive, and her performance is vivid. The courage and tolerance of her mother played in the second half hour has surpassed the routine of similar films, which is touching and heartbreaking. The costumes are beautiful, the light and shadow are beautiful, and the lullaby is simple and quiet, but it seems to reflect thousands of emotions.

It is very beautiful, but it is also very painful, even if it is painful, it is very beautiful. The narrative is top-notch and always leaves you with mixed feelings... This should be Polanski's most lethal charm.

    Revisit. If you want to make a movie and become a master, it is not enough to rely on hard work and enthusiasm. In the end, it is talent. Polanski is one of the few people with a supernatural talent for film.

    #重看#Jumping the bridge section, the pale and rugged shape, and the surrounding indifferent hostility, almost exactly the same as "Strange Tenants", sinking into despair, and losing confidence in humans, so Polanski enjoys the development of such themes; there is no blood. Chilled upper body, ignored the swords and guns, panicked in panic, murdered invisible, and disappeared between talking and laughing; I found out that her husband is Cassavetes after rewatching, and Mia Farrow performed very well in this film.
