The beginning of the film undoubtedly hit the hearts of a large number of audiences. The slow and depressing music and the slow rotating camera lens appeared before our eyes. There is no suddenness and discomfort, and peace naturally pulls the audience into the whirlpool of the song. At this time, the helplessness and despair of the protagonist's life are vividly expressed by this scene. We suddenly discovered that vampires, who were originally mortal enemies of mankind, could live so hard in today's world. Unlike some previous vampire movies, "Only Love Eternal" returns to the original attributes of vampires and cannot be active during the day. Therefore, almost all the shots of the film are shot in the dark, which requires high technical processing of the shots. But it also shows the depth of the director's skill. In the movie, Eve lives in Tangier, and her clothes are often gorgeous and delicate embroidery. Director Jiamusu can still make the fabrics exquisite and beautiful in the faint light of the night It will add a serenity and charm of the night to it. In Adam's place we can find everything crammed together, cramped and cramped. This is exactly the life portrayal of Adam's life. Although Adam living in Detroit is a vampire, he is indeed the bottom of the entire Detroit, and is forced to do nothing by the problem of food and clothing. But why did such an extraordinary species fall into the state it is now? Because this group of vampires in the movie is a maverick and has become an animal that is more human than humans. They are representatives of cutting-edge technology, top literature, and top art, and they have the most revered emotions for these achievements. It is this high degree of self-discipline that keeps them from changing to the edge of human change. As we mentioned earlier, this vampire couple lives in different cities. Tangier and Detroit are two polar opposites. An old and long with a medieval temperament, slow and peaceful. The texture of the wall in the shot, Eve's delicate shawl is a microcosm of it. And Detroit, a burgeoning industrial city, has developed explosively in various technologies. Confused lights, passionate youth, what we see is like a erupting volcano. In these two places, the two civilizations pushed the two of them to a desperate situation, and the problem of survival was directly placed in front of the two of them. At this time, the pursuit, the bottom line, everything is gone. What they most revered instead took their own throats, so in desperation the desires fought back. White Sensen's fangs ended everything.
Then there is the music. The music at the beginning of the movie is slow, long and lingering, which makes people unforgettable. Whether it is the rhythm or the weak voice, the audience is dragged into the love between the two, as if entering a whirlpool and being dragged into the water with naturalness and no fear. Adam is a musician in the film, so the whole film must not be missing music. In the cooperation of music, we can clearly see the history of the music world. In the transition of regions, I felt the underground music of Detroit and the melodious tunes of Tangier. When two people could not continue to live in Detroit and moved to Tangier but could not meet the needs of life and were dying, Adam would still be attracted to exotic music. Such vampires are no longer ordinary hunters, and they respect these spiritual wealth even more than we humans care about the preserved science and art. Isn't this a joke? We become the vampires of the devil, we fear their bestiality but know that we ourselves are more wild than them. In the film, the human image is completely subverted. All kinds of musicians and writers that people have always admired are actually the works of these vampires. Shakespeare is just a liar of an era, and the real author doesn't care about his reputation and is satisfied only to see his works survive. Undoubtedly, this is the whipping stick that strikes our hearts. It is flashy and nihilistic. Our pursuit in this world is always full of utilitarian colors. It never occurred to us that what we want to pursue should be the purest and most fiery impulse of our being. Even if the final result cannot be famous in the world, at least the heart is free from the bondage.
Actors Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston are both handsome in their performances. Eve played by Tilda is pale and beautiful, but reveals a coldness in her heart, which makes people afraid to approach easily. The struggle of nature and physiology in the face of temptation makes her even more adorable. It's a stark difference from her previous role as the witch in The Chronicles of Narnia. In the play, "Shakesom" also completely subverted his frivolous and sinister image in Thor, and turned into a full-fledged literary man. Slow movements and stubborn words and deeds all portray this dignified vampire to the core. Such a state is the mutual completion of the film and the actors, achieving the best fit.
Whether vampires or humans, we all have the same passionate love. Time will smear us as we age, but the love that remains is in it. Witnessing the support and support of the two in the crisis of survival, we will enter the funnel of love again with the music.
