The sense of form is very strong, and the story is not very clear.
Later, I listened to Ripley's analysis in the villain film review, several layers.
Lonely mental patient, fire thief in ancient Greece, system of Cthulhu.
Before watching the movie, I thought it would fly a little more, and I thought there would be some more modern (re-innovation in classical painting) monsters with a little more art. With big wings or more like a dragon, in the turbulent sea, lightning and thunder. Many giants are terrifying scenes, similar to oil paintings.
A few scenes in the film give some satisfaction, but I actually want to see more.
Bomi said that this film is like a video shot by the crew of a hundred years ago under the conditions of a hundred years ago. I actually thought the same when watching the film. The positions of the characters and the positions of the lights in several scenes are similar. That's great, but I'd like the film to fly a bit more. Isn't it cool to present a 21st century special effects visual with images from 100 years ago. The previous blockbusters were very cheap, this one is so textured, and the small space in the back makes me feel quite a pity.
But, of course, it's just my opinion, the director probably doesn't want that, he must know better than I do.
But, I still want to say, for example, in Pattinson's dream, in addition to the appearance of the lower body of the mermaid, can there be some fear of the sea and the huge waves. Because I think in addition to loneliness, loneliness, there should be fear. It's like the feeling when we don't dare to go downstairs or look at the mirror in the bathroom after watching a horror movie. When Pattinson sees the sea, can there be something more flying, such as 100-ton big fish, plesiosaurs, water monsters. These can appear in dreams. Especially with the texture of this film. It will be a direct visual impact.
Before Universal's "Godzilla 2" was a disappointment, except for a few poses, it didn't satisfy my imagination of giants at all, and some of the "Pacific Rim" of the gyro were okay. In Ang Lee's "Pi", there is a picture of a whale jumping out of the water. It is actually okay, which is in line with my satisfaction of the fear of giants. In addition, the sound effects of several films are satisfactory, and this film counts as one. Giant fear on sound.
In fact, I have never liked black and white very much, because it was very tiring to watch, and I could not satisfy many details. Black and white made me feel too much like the setting of a stage play. Jarmusch's "Ender of Paradise" and Cuaron's "Roma" last year are my favorite black and white styles. "August" is my favorite movie. There are a few scenes that are good, but the black and white in more places are too filter-like.
In addition, I have to say, this film gives me the greatest satisfaction and love, it is this texture, which is really good.
In the future, when I think of a small space or black and white, or when I walk on a small island, I will think of this film, and my back will get chills.
