Gray and obscure.

The moon has always been spoken of.
The moon hanging high in the night sky is closer to gray in color.
Gray, cloudy tones, foretell the birth of tragedy and the entanglement of fate.
Ash is always an immortal truth.
Despite how much we expect extreme gestures of black and white.

What does it mean if a director’s own experience has enough dramatic tension and the elements that make up the script?
I would imagine that the characters in his shots are not his outlets.
The strength of the release reveals the destructive power under repression.

The love in Roman Polanski's eyes is covered with a common veil.
His longing for day and night, his uncontrollable passion, his love is more about the coincidence of the established image in fantasy and reality, and about the information released under the influence of hormones.
When Oscar and Mimi's passion and magic disappeared, their love was pale and realistic. Hit the truth.

The truth points more to desires that can never be satisfied.
It's just constantly disguising, changing forms.
Sometimes it's love, sometimes it's passion, sometimes it's fresh blood, sometimes it's freedom, sometimes it's social status, and even more so, his sense of accomplishment. His still unpublished book.
Whether the human nature controlled by temptation can wake up in the face of desire.

Oscar's sobriety came after being paralyzed. Even though he was paralyzed by pulling him out of the hospital bed, Mimi chose to stay by his side. Staying in front of his eyes tormented him. He realized that the hatred was because she still loved him. It was their uncontrolled desires that destroyed their love. Also destroys reason.

On a cruise ship bound for India, he was huddled with Nigel, who was similar to himself.
Forcing him to admit his desire.
Forcing him to recognize his hypocrisy and greed.
The urgent tension and the intensity of chasing auspiciousness are like crusade against the past self.
From the point of view of having mastery, he scrutinized. Under the temptation of passion, how weak emotions can devour both sides.
Their death was a relief.
It remains to be seen whether the truth brought about by death can regenerate the passion of the Nigels. But see how he pulls away from his desire to be controlled.
