Sometimes I don't understand what detachment is, just waiting for that hysterical moment

Until the moment of watching this film, the poignant Gothic beauty that I pursued when I was young has never left myself. When life enters a certain morbid exhaustion time, you can really see the desolation around you. But this kind of complexity and confusion was far beyond what the little kid who only knew about the visual department at the time could understand.

This kind of gloom, the first moment you see his eyes, you already know that at some point in the film, you will completely give up the psychological defense line built by your years of life, and wait for that hysterical moment in 97 minutes.

When we were young, we believed that life was so simple. After 10 years, you will find that life is really as complicated as adults say. In the end you find that the whole society is a prisoner, a prisoner of money, a prisoner of time, a prisoner of lies, but we all end up defaulting to this cynicism.
Living in such a failure

you have to keep an independent mind, but this is a double contradiction, so you have to believe the lie.

Perhaps we will see the ultimate lie withering along with the Gothic Castle, eroding the once mighty into eternal desolation.
The rest is detachment, accompany the lie into the irreparable decline

    Don't be misled by the title. This film is full of depression and heaviness everywhere. Everyone has nothing to do with themselves. Counting on the other to rescue his suffering is always only a moment, because he is still too busy to take care of himself. Even if you are merciful enough to take you in, one day you will leave. In short, just like the substitute teacher, this film only gave a hug, and did not try to solve any troubles of the characters or the audience in the film, but helpless people will be ruthlessly hit.

  • Henry Barthes: I am money, I change hands like the dollar bill, that has been rubbed by a lamp; Then a genie appeared and cried loudly, with volume; But the tears were all for myself, and that's where it all went wrong
