Looking at the movie, the protagonist is Freddie, but the title is the master. The director's intention personally thinks that the master is the theme:
the sustenance of the protagonist at the beginning is his lover, a girl, separated because of the war, but the terrible war It made missing into torture. The protagonist obviously portrayed a madman who was suffering from mental torment. The first time I saw it, I wanted to laugh. It was obviously a madman. After the war, because the protagonist could not escape this nightmare, naturally Dare to face his lover, he was already crazy at this time, and then the master appeared, in fact, he can be regarded as a new sustenance, because of love, the protagonist felt the master's love for him, and soon, the protagonist began to gradually Back to normal, and finally one day he had doubts about the sustenance of the master, so he wanted to find the original sustenance, but found that it was too late. At this moment, Freddy was already a normal person, and he made a normal person. I decided to go to see the master, which can be regarded as a conclusion. At the end of the film, the protagonist sleeps with a woman made of sand in his arms. This is actually a echo of the front and back. The protagonist is destined to be lonely. When he loses his sustenance, he can only rely on his body. live.
I feel that this film is an idealistic film. Maybe the director wants to express something else, but he is not skilled enough. Many plots are very abrupt, and the smoothness of the film is lost instead. The director is like a child who tries his best to express his ideas. , did strange things, although cute but naive, in general the movie is okay, but it is difficult to become a classic.
