2. Steve McQueen's line skills, even if deliberately restrained, are still sharp. After brandon hugged sissy, the two clashed, and the lines were so good that people couldn't say anything, and the second time I watched it, I could feel the sense of tight palms.
3. Therefore, Michael Fassbender, who won the Venice Best Actor in the film, I can feel his efforts and sacrifices for this film through the screen. There is a seemingly inconspicuous shot: when he was sitting in front of the window at dusk after he went to a prostitute in the sea-view room, I suddenly felt like I was aware of the filming process at that time - in order to wait for the "magic moment" to come, he has been sitting continuously. 3 hours in bed. If that's true, what made the actor so willing to wait? Is it a movie, or is it a director? Of course, maybe both, maybe not. I figured it would be easy for the Chinese to spend an idle afternoon like Fassbender waiting to be filmed, as long as they have one thing in their heads. The Chinese are always exhausted and do not allow themselves to stop and stop. But wouldn't it be nice to spend some kind of idle time with tasks? A bit too far.
4. This is not a work that intentionally elevates itself to achieve profoundness. However, this is really a touching movie. The director touches the wounded soul with a soulful lens. This kind of feeling and its sincerity, stripping likes and dislikes, shows his concern for the living conditions of individuals in modern society. . This is the theme of the movie. The depth is not in the subject, but in the details, in brandon's speechlessness when dating a female colleague, in being furious when his sister found out that he was masturbating, in the cold and damp New York streets. The cubicles of modern high-rise buildings, apartments, and offices isolate the communication between people, so how can the protagonist be a talkative person? In this case, a real person may be taciturn. The unmaintained spirit and the constant physical torment are the source of the pain - Brandon's face is never bright, gloomy is his expression most of the time. Cold-faced, taciturn, subjected to the absurd hypocrisy of his boss, and physically helpless, his exuberant sexual desire can be well explained, if not innate. The only home of the spirit is the sister. So why does her conflict with her sister form the center of the film? Because love is deep, hate is all. If we want to analyze it further, the conflict between the two lies in the ethical barrier (especially the attitude of the elder brother to the younger sister). Ethics is a little ridiculous here—doesn't ethics save human beings from suffering?
5. Therefore, it can even be said to be a love movie, or a movie that is desperate for love. There is no place for emotions within the scope of ethics, true love is not allowed by morality, and the flesh continues to cause trouble for itself, how painful it must be. There are two very accurate expressions, one is Brandon's smile after being molested by a strange woman in a bar, and his boyfriend finds out, it is a frank and depraved smile like a devil; the other is the expression of Brandon at the end of 3P.
6. McQueen's writing about "New York, New York" sung by sissy in a very long/extremely long paragraph is a genius. It's really a bold and irresponsible style. This scene can be described in five words: four or two thousand pounds. A song that kills all lines and character construction in other ways.
7. Shame? It's quite ashamed. Shame? No shame at all.
