That now is not simply now

The tone of the film becomes the most important narrator.
In all the scenes where the old man is alone, all are cold-colored - long legs walk into the ice and snow, wake up to white sheets, dyed with jet black ink; white shirt, black suit, black framed black leather bag, black Guns, transparent water, glass houses, etc.
And all the other people who appeared in this day when he wanted to work harder to endure it, all rushed in with warm colors - the lover's yellow T-shirt in the memory, the orange light of reading with the lover, the first meeting his blue navy cap, and his blue eyes. For this reason, he is willing to say a few more words to people with the same eyes, even if they are flattering, and they also bring bright yellow gifts, wear sky blue skirts, and have golden hair and earrings. Wine glasses, or watching the beautiful clouds, or dancing slightly drunk, smoking, or talking about loneliness or life in front of the red tablecloth. Even in real now, when he felt incomparably peaceful, there were still golden stoves and lights that enveloped him.
But, that now is not simply now
, people are always floating in the sea, we don't know which direction we will be led to in the past or now, and when we enter, we can only float.
Before the old man rehearsed many farewells, at the moment when he finally fell to the ground, the movie revealed his final identity in front of him. People live to death, no matter if you are left by your lover to endure loneliness, or you can finally let go In the next second, none of them have power and meaning.
And what is power and meaning? It is probably the people and memories who have given out colors. Now is the future of the past, and it is also the past of the future.
When you think of this, God smiles again.
So seeing there, no one knows whether to be happy or sad, and then without stopping, the movie ends.
In the last shot, the warm colors fade into cool colors frame by frame, but it seems to be dawn again.

I remembered a friend complaining to me yesterday that I didn't like the way I liked things and felt sad, I didn't like the feeling of being led by fate and I just wanted to be simple and free.
After watching this movie, I found that it coincided with what we were talking about.

A few scenes that I like very much -
the close-up crying scene after hanging up the call to notify the death, and the scene of going to the toilet and reading a book in a daze.
In the memory, the two people were sitting on the sofa reading a book and talking nonsense. The first time they met, their eyes were shrill. . .
After the student fell asleep with the gun in his arms, the last one-man show started, every expression and eyes were god-level.

There are several charming features of Colin's acting - the
voice of the lines is a little trembling, and it is particularly sexy.
When he smiles without showing his teeth, it is especially useful for comforting people. For example, he saw a student sleeping with a gun in his arms. He got that smile, and he felt very at ease when he saw it.
The swing of the walking legs is unrestrained, the crotch does not move very much, and the arms and shoulders swing gracefully and gracefully.

In addition, all the dialogues in it are worthy of literary and artistic force in the copybook.

    How can there be such a good movie.

  • Noah 2022-03-20 09:01:52

    Even the fear of hiding in the outside world is still dominated by loneliness. And single men reflect the absurd symptoms of Cold War psychopaths. The imagery is exquisitely crafted and impeccable. Uncle Colin's dance with Moore and the seaside frolic with Holt made the best reverse lyric. The whole film also focuses on feeling rather than thinking. Moore's twisted brows in the vanity mirror echo the rounded buttocks in Nocturnal Animals. Please TF stick to such formal aesthetics.

A Single Man quotes

  • George: There's no such thing as old anymore. The other day, one of my students called me a senior citizen.

    Charley: I wouldn't mind if old didn't exist. But I'm not sure that senior is what I'm aiming for, either.

  • George: It's all becoming so bland. That's not why I came to America. It's like a complete breakdown of culture and manners.

    Charley: The young ones have no manners. The other day at the car wash, a young man looked me up and down and asked me if I was a natural blonde.

    George: What did you say?

    Charley: I looked him straight in the eye and said, "Let's just say, if I stood on my head, I would be a natural brunette with lovely breath."
