speechless

After watching this movie, I was speechless. The teacher said next to it, it looks good. But I thought to myself. . . . . As a post-90s generation, I really can't understand 1919 movies. But the teacher talked a lot about the film showing the atmosphere of that era. The magical understanding of the living world, the mystery of the world comes from the human heart, and the worry about science. The expressive power of black-and-white films is special, and the tones of light and shadow are used in the present. Although the set is rigid for technical reasons, it has an impact today. Exaggerated performance of mime. "Wonder Movie"!
My own feelings, I think there is a big gap in this movie, I forgot the names of those actors. First of all, when his friend dies like the prophecy, there are many possibilities for him to die, which is suspenseful reasoning. The protagonist also has a funny expression when he learns that his friend has died.
But when the camera turned to the park bench again, I was thinking, shouldn't the story be over? But his thoughts changed again. Turns out he was a lunatic. That park bench is also fake?
There is still meaning in the fictional story, and that is whether sleepwalkers can actually control their own consciousness. Just like "Magic Cinderella", it finally defeated magic.
But I still don't understand.
Alright alright, those pictures are quite interesting, if I make pictures, I would like to collect them.
