Pursuing the meaning

Quiet like the sea, accompanied by melancholy sadness flows into my heart. This is the strong sense of substitution that the film "Very Loud, Very Close" gave me. If it weren’t for the film’s Oscar nomination for Best Picture, I think I would not notice it for a long time; more bluntly, if it were not based on the "911" incident, I would not be so urgent. Want to see the truth. After watching it, the original psychology of curiosity was unconsciously diluted and disappeared, leaving only the reverberation of the whole film and the nasal passage that was choked up for several times.
To be alive, one must live to death, but no one is willing to accept sudden bad news. The separation of life and death, the overlapping of joys and sorrows, are the light and heavy we must go through. Oscar said: "More and more people are passing away, until one day, there is no more room for burial. Then, how about building a skyscraper underground?" Since the building collapsed, a skyscraper like twin towers was crushed. In Oscar’s heart, he greeted the pain that was too heavy for him with a crouched posture and heart-wrenching fear, but he never stopped searching for the only clue, the pursuit-the unfinished." The continuation of the "Sixth District Investigation Mission" is the continuation of the father's life in the heart of the child. Everything is just to get closer to the deceased father, and to get closer. Attachment is like him, so in the face of the reality of no progress, facing the vast sea of ​​people, people with different experiences, fear, doubt, and hopelessness, these are undoubtedly worse. Oscar said: "I am afraid of going to a strange place, I am afraid that after experiencing so many things, my father will be even further away from me. Is the whole point of letting me let go." Faced with the pain, we finally have to do It's all about letting go, letting go-not just giving up hopelessly, but letting go. Oscar's thoughts about his father when his grandfather left were all fine details, but they brought an uncontrollable feeling of empathy. Then let go and regret for life.

    Stephen Dedley is finally getting a taste of what it's like to fail to earn plaudits this time around, and that's definitely not a bad thing for a director who has always had a smooth ride. Whether the subject matter is sensitive or the expectations are too high, I personally don’t think it can be the culprit of such controversy. After all, the quality of this film has indeed declined compared to its previous works.
