the weight of the soul

#twodaysonenight# Staying up all night watched this new work by director Darnell. There is almost no soundtrack in the whole film, even when the ending credits are horizontal. The camera precisely focuses on the hardships of the middle-class life, the dual oppression of family and career, and even loses to the pressure, suffers from depression, and collapses in the heart. This minimalist reality is more likely to arouse the viewer's resonance nerves, and then empathize with them, unconsciously being drawn by the experience of the protagonist. The sensitivity, indifference, fragility, and forbearance of the protagonist Sandra are also infinitely magnified in several repeated actions, a few trembling dialogues, and her slightly hunchbacked and thin body, and she is moved by her persistence in the wind and sunshine. Infect. Sometimes life can be chaotic, you know it is so, but you still have to continue because you still have a positive "lucky" mentality. This kind of seemingly hopeless tangle is not the result of your struggle and hard work. light? ! That will be the moment when your soul has the most weight.

    This blue-collar democracy story is more suitable for moving to China than "12 Angry Men". The bonus is 1,000 yuan. It must be 16 people vote. The result is 1:15. It is not clear who played you.

    @Broadway moma. 1. Like "The Nameless Girl", it is another "face-to-face" image interpretation of Levinas' Theory of Otherness. But the constant search of the doctor in "Anonymous Girl" is driven by a metaphysical motive, while "Two Days and One Night" is absolutely metaphysical: the heroine, like Rosetta, just wants to keep her job. What makes it even more empathetic is that, unlike the strong, almost paranoid, inhuman protagonists in most of Darnay's films, the heroine of this film shows a distressing vulnerability (not to mention she's Marion!). This is much more believable than another Rosetta. 2. Repetition tests the screenwriter the most, and each different meeting in this film involves a different level of drama. The plight of one person is intertwined with the plight of sixteen, biting the hearts of everyone who hesitates to support the heroine. 3. In the original idea, the doctor in "The Nameless Girl" that Darney hoped to save the suicide heroine. The Dana universe almost took shape. 4. Add a star to my goddess.
