Some illogical notes

1. "I like the feeling of being dead", cleo and the little boy lie on the rooftop and pretend to be dead, they can't speak. Two, night, inside, garage man, cigarettes, symphony, shit. 3. The TV shows the spectacle of Professor Zovik's teeth pulling the cart; the stunts of Professor Zovik under the passenger planes flying one after another are surprising, and cleo has become the only person who has done it transcendently. 4. The earthquake caused the wall to fall off and hit the baby box, implying the subsequent birth of stillborn babies. 5. Low-fidelity space video, I don't know what it has to do with gravity. 6. The ultra-wide-angle lens distorts the structure of the house, removes the bookshelf, and distorts the house with a large number of stranded books. 7. Mexican streets, favelas, middle-class neighborhoods, realistic, long shots lack depth of field and scheduling. Private images can easily be criticized as a one-sided landscape from the arrogant perspective of the middle class. The linear structure is dispelled by poetic forms, and the author’s use of memories to tell a story cannot guarantee the integrity of the space-time dimension. The scenes of the male host and his lover playing on the street are quite New Wave play, and the two opposing bands played different lamentations respectively. The broken wine glass implies the fire, the rebirth of the forest, and the intertextuality of cleo giving life to two children by giving birth to a stillborn child. The little boy is the only poetic character. He is the youngest boy and is treated with extra consideration, he is ostracized to entertain himself in the imagination, he wears his firefighter's costume to shuttle between people fighting fires, people with wine glasses, people dressed as monsters, he "Grow up to be a sailor and drowned in a storm", he pretended to be dead, he couldn't speak. The last sentence of the man who ditched cleo was to ask her if she wanted ice cream. And cleo stood by with the cone and looked at the mother and child, the noise of the wedding in the depths of the field was like an explosion inside. The lack of men and the lack of right to speak, the Mexican society under double repression is also accompanied by turmoil, but the turmoil is only brushed off by women in pain on the street, which seems rather sloppy. The geometric house is divided into upper and lower spaces. Downstairs, the man, the Mexican sandwich has become the center of the discourse. The diamond-shaped floor is full of shit. part of the house. The frolicking scene of the Hail Boy is one of the warmest things to do in winter, the collision of a middle-class Christmas party and the "uneasy" downstairs alludes to hedonism. In the final analysis, cleo is just a servant, and the empathy between her and the hostess is based on the same experience, and the emotion between her and the children is a natural occurrence of day-to-day company. The marriage breakdown of the hostess projected on cleo will only deepen her pain of being pregnant, abandoned and losing her child, but her humble needs are met, and she believes that she has been assimilated as a member of the family, she convinces herself that she needs to take care of the family and not the child , she does want her, but she doesn't want the pain she brings.
