So film reviews can be turned into personal attacks. It is hard to say whether the origin of the architect, Virgo, had a great influence on him. However, seeing that he can easily say "fashion is a fart" with audacity and irony, and then supervises the shooting of the blockbuster without changing his face, you will know that he is a Virgo. The design style he advertised as "responding to people's needs" is nothing but the escape and mutation of Virgo who dare not express themselves in order to be rejected by strong self-denial. Even looking for a lover, you must have a soul mate to grow old together forever. Whenever he sees people, he is glamorous, and his work must be praised, so what he really cares about is obvious, reputation.
But the horoscope always says that Virgo is in pursuit of wisdom. Well yes, the obscure language, the theme of the film and the sudden death at the end are all expressions of "wisdom". He takes every opportunity to reflect his own thinking and understanding, and must force the audience to accept it through the actions of the protagonist. Less sensual than road movies, Single Men leans more towards the classics - with an emphasis on education. I think he wants to see the audience look thoughtful and enlightened in order to satisfy and elevate themselves.
Actually, I'd say, Ford, you can even care less. Even if you think you can see through it, it doesn't mean anything if you can't do it. Even if it is subjectively transparent, it may not be as good as invisible, but at least it is comfortable.
A single man's monologue about life that probably hit Tom Ford's heart. If from the ending, if you want to die anyway, there is nothing wrong with suicide. But people are still alive. So, don't let life in your own hands, wait for dawn, death, just like that.
