lonely, lonely

A lorry is parked on the rails at the property. I didn't realize it was a malfunction when I first watched the movie, and only realized it was to echo the train malfunction at the end when I watched it a second time.
The scene is dominated by icy blues and inky blacks. The camera shows a distant view of the train, which appears dead and frosty. The beginning was completely unaware of the significance of this for the film's tragic narrative climax.


The film raises topics including existence, nothingness, death, alienation, loneliness, boredom, fear, youth, sexuality, flesh, love, emotion, family, cognition, empathy, empathy, shame, space, time, and more.

There are several ways to approach the philosophy of love: bonding mode, caring mode, and dialogue mode.
In the combined mode, love is the undivided attention and ardent gaze upon a single individual, committing almost every aspect of a self to the process.
Mutual recognition of love is also a prerequisite for freedom.
The protagonist looks for it all in the wrong direction:
McKee's characters in the Molecule
film lack dialogue-like love and a relationship of mutual recognition.

    The filming is really subtle, but this is also a good thing for the 70s in the play, everyone is so rebellious, hazy, doubtful, and fearful. The atmosphere is very well grasped, the casting performances are also wonderful, and the use of music reduces the abstraction and adjusts the atmosphere. The story of the film itself is not very strong, but it is sincere and shocking.

    The story is unobtrusive, the photography art is praised
