I have seen two comebacks, one is the return of Spanish director Almodovar, and the other is the return of this Russia. The contrast between the two films can be said to be quite large. Almodovar depicts a female society that is so gorgeous that even death has become beautiful, while this Russian film can be regarded as a film with a male character as the protagonist. The same Death brings desolation and regret. But the characters in both films hide something, an inner secret. It is not until the end of the film that we find an answer. Life is not like that. It is not until the end of life that we understand what we are looking for.
The entire film records a seven-day story. The father came back from the army to play with his two sons, but there were constant conflicts during the trip. Later, his father accidentally fell from a height while chasing Andrei and died. The film mostly uses cool tones and gray and white, which makes people feel depressing, not to mention this is the story of a son who accidentally kills his father. The two brothers chased back and saw their mother smoking outside the room. They were told that their father, who had never seen each other, was back. They ran to the room and passed the blue burning flames. The blue big bed fell asleep in the middle. their father. The blue flames represent their hearts, nervous and calm, and the door opened to the father who was sleeping motionless on the blue bed. It turned out that this was his father. Father? Father. People always have a kind of estrangement and doubt in their hearts towards people they have never met. It cannot be said that this is distrust between people, but I think this is an instinctive reaction. Talking to people you've never met develops trust, but you go back and try to believe. It's like playing hide-and-seek. The friend you just met keeps a note for you, saying that he is hiding under a certain bed, and you will definitely go under that bed to have a look. Knowing, familiar, you can't get past this process, just like Andre can't help but admit that this is his father. When he watched his father sink into the icy seabed, he cried and yelled in his direction, even though he hated and resented his father, looked at him coldly, and was unwilling to admit that the sudden arrival of this disappearance for twelve years A man, but there is family affection flowing in his bones. There will be a kind of spirituality between relatives, and you can always find each other's breath. In Almodovar's Return, this connection shows that in the entanglement of generations' experiences and emotions, the relationship between the characters is more complicated than in the Russian version.
Ivan is better at dealing with people than Andre, maybe it has something to do with age, he will call his father before talking to his father, he will listen to what his father says, he will forget that his father bleed him half a minute ago, Andre Looking on from the side, he naturally sneered at his brother's attitude, and Andre was more like a child in a rebellious period to his father. In fact, Ivan has the most terrifying character. He will calmly judge that his father is dead and comfort his younger brother, and watch his dead father sink into the sea with a blank face. This kind of behavior is smooth and does not reveal his feelings A person who is a daddy often doesn't know what he's thinking in his heart. This kind of person often does unexpected things. He must also see that his father treats Andre better than he treats him.
There is a dead body in both Returns, which happens to be a male character or a father character. One death is shocking, while the Russian version of death is desolate and quiet, naturally giving people different feelings, one is forging hope for people, the other is even despairing. People grow up in the alternation of joy and sorrow, and life in a greenhouse is not life. People look for the big ups and downs in life to hide from the big downs, but these ups and downs are always looking for a place to hide and play with you.
The director always likes to use large panoramas and large blocks of cool tones to make the audience feel depressed. We are all repressing ourselves in our hearts. Andre's fear of climbing to a high place is a way of repressing our hearts. It's repression to endure all of his father's annoying habits. Ivan's tactful way of doing things is also repression. We live a step-by-step life under social norms and moral norms, and we need an opportunity to release ourselves. In the French version of "Two Little No Guess", the hero and heroine broke the routine because of a dare game and released their hearts. In this comeback, Andrei kills his father to relieve the pressure on him from his father's presence and all kinds of disgusting habits. Now the rules and regulations of this society bind people, more and more pressure, more and more people's mental diseases, in the final analysis, it is excessive depression. Floyd said that the most primitive happiness of people comes from sex. People in China's sexually repressed society are naturally unsatisfied. Let's look at Japan, why there are so many AVs and GVs, this is also because of them Suppressed themselves, but at least they still use SM and other methods to release themselves and relieve the pressure, but in fact, they still have an inferiority complex in their bones, so they can't get rid of the feeling of depression they give themselves.
What are we doing now, hiding from who we really are, looking for ways to release ourselves.
