From an ugly anti-human, Karax became a complete formalist this time, a completely formalized life, of course, the ultimate meaning is still anti-human. His films are ugly, disgusting, dirty, but beautiful and pure, and that's what makes him great,
the man who keeps changing roles, is everyone's life, is paid to perform difficult and risky performances . There is basically no live action in the film, no coherent space, no usual narrative, he just acts numbly, then leaves, puts on makeup, and continues. Like each of us, every performance is a well-planned performance, but we have no chance to come back, and every performance is a life-and-death struggle.
It's like a doomsday, a dark city, I think the audience will be brought in. There are mainly two opportunities, one is when he picks up the girl who has finished the party, and the other is when he seems to foresee his old lover, how emotional the performance is To people, but they are all performances. When we gradually discovered that not only the protagonist is the performance, but the opponent may also be the performance, and even give life.
We are restored again and again, restoring our own experience in the absurd stories of the film. We hope she has a daughter, we hope she has an old lover, because our own experience of life, even our own gestalt heart, such perfect attempts are shattered, our imaginations are defeated, we do not want What did the director want to say? Why is this?
Fortunately, fortunately, Carat did not break this indifference, there is no warmth, this is the embodiment of warmth, the things we pray for alone are false, what we love is false, what we do is false Yes, even the erection is fake, but we are still alive and strong.
The philosophical dialogue of the film is fortunately not derailed, this is an absolutely lonely film, you can choose what you like from each story, just like when a beautiful young woman is waiting by the window for an old man who wakes up, I I think this is the one that many people will think of, when you died, the lover when you were young appeared by your side, watching you die, you told her what was in your heart, how touching, but immediately he got up and dressed When he leaves, the director is constantly separated and brought in. This is his form, and here the form is the content.
The car dialogue at the end is boring and meaningless, and yes, his film just doesn't make sense. What we see in our lives may be performances behind masks, moving, tragic, and life-and-death, but we are not different. When hypocrisy is overindulged, the truth is illusory, and there is nowhere to be found. In fact, it is not need again.
When the image of an orangutan appeared in my mind, the director happened to arrange an orangutan's apartment for the hero. He stood with them harmoniously, even warmly. What an anti-human performance, it was really cruel.
It's just that human beings are still blindly pursuing warmth, so the director gave the audience a blockbuster pink in the last window, illusory beauty, but ugly and distorted.
We just hope that there is a sincere heart, even if it can't last, even if the door is opened, it's a show, and I hope it's you who comes with the key, human beings are so hopeless.
