After watching the movie, I stared at the computer screen in a daze, and unconsciously began to hum: "I feel extremely depressed, and even begin to doubt life...".
The female director Sofia Copra is the daughter of the French Copra. Like a father, there must be a daughter. The film works are extremely deep. The old work "Lost in Translation" depicts the mental anxiety of a middle-aged man. Very moving. One of the scenes I remember best: He complained to her about the monotony of life, and she told him, buy a Porsche! Or solve the mid-life crisis. The man didn't buy it, but continued, helplessly, running in the streets.
This time Sophia filmed "Lost Somewhere", the male protagonist was also in a mid-life crisis, and he finally got a sports car, and it was upgraded, not a Porsche but a Ferrari, when you stepped on the gas, the engine was roaring with thunder, this The life of the middle-aged man added explosive power, like the thunder of an engine, which shocked all four.
The figure of the black Ferrari sports car in the film is eye-catching but not arrogant, allowing men to concentrate on enjoying the speed and passion of galloping driving. The greatest joy of driving a sports car lies in its explosive power. When you lightly step on the accelerator, the car body is completely removed, and the air is stirred and reversed outside the car window. You also have no time to appreciate the scenery outside the window, so you will forget time, forget the world, and temporarily stay in the small universe in the carriage, your own universe.
That Ferrari is alluring because it's black instead of red, and it's a matte black with a slightly matte roughness that's much more textured than a bright red Ferrari.
The middle-aged world becomes more and more unreliable, more and more fragmented, the sudden disappearance of what you thought was permanent, the sudden occurrence of what you never thought would happen, and to have such a fleeting illusion of domination is definitely a grateful pleasure to enjoy. Just like stepping on the accelerator pedal of a sports car with one foot, how hard you step on it, how much force it responds to you, forward and backward, all within your accurate control. Of course, there is a long distance between pleasure and happiness. Neither can they replace each other.
So the man in "Lost Somewhere" was still depressed. After sending his daughter away, he returned home, grieved, and wept bitterly. The only thing he could do was to call his female friend and sob. This time the woman said, "Let's do volunteer work." The director was really humorous. The movie does not say whether the man has volunteered or not, so we don't know if volunteering will help the man who is in mid-life crisis. The Ferrari stopped by the road, he got out, he left.
I can't tell when, when our youthful music, which had been so exciting, suddenly appeared dissonant, our bodies were getting old day by day, and disease and death were opening their bloody mouths to choose people to eat. Begin to live a life of depression, as if nothing is meaningful, even if you carry a LV bag, step on GUCCI high-heeled shoes, and drive a Ferrari sports car, that kind of depression and sadness will give you nowhere to hide. What life accumulates is not only the wealth of money, but not the wealth of skins that you can buy a sports car and gallop. The family and friendship that you maintain throughout your life will help you through various crises and emotional troughs. When we can no longer support 12 cm high heels, and our hearts can't stand the ups and downs of speed and passion, what does a Ferrari sports car mean to me?
The film won several international awards and was released in Hong Kong. But there is no market in the mainland. Such a film full of long shots comes to the current market in mainland China, and it is estimated that it will also become a new attraction for "one-day cinema tours".
