A ghost who wants to stay with his lover and does not want to leave, stays alone, waiting for his lover's return, even if the Boxi mulberry field and things change stars, even after the change of the century, reincarnation Beginning...
David Lowe, the director and screenwriter of the film "AGhost Story" is undoubtedly an American born in the 1980s who has ideas and courage. This time, his themes involve time, waiting, life and death, etc. These themes are single It’s not very good to shoot, let alone integrated in a film, but once it’s done, it’s enough to touch people’s minds. What's more, the end of the film is so lethal. The ghost that was finally wiped out in the ashes is probably also deploring himself.
The film has a cold temperament, very little dialogue, and a long shot that takes up a lot of time. This style of film will probably discourage many people. In fact, these presentation methods match the performance requirements of the film. Once the audience enters the atmosphere created by the film, they don't feel dull and slow at all. The screen of the film adopts a ratio of 1.33:1 that is close to a square. The first established screen aspect ratio gives people a visual feeling that the ghosts in the film are trapped in a confined space. This makes the audience feel like they are trapped in a confined space. It is easier to realize the kind of long-distance waiting and the loneliness of the vicissitudes of life, and this kind of nostalgic picture is also suitable for the interpretation of time as the motif, as if ghosts have been left in the past.
Cassie Affleck and Rooney Mara played the heroes and heroines of the film. This time, Cassie not only has few lines, but also not many opportunities to show his face. C, who died in a car accident, missed his wife M, gathered his soul under the white sheets, and returned home like a Halloween ghost, guarding M, witnessing her grief and loneliness... However, the living can still be okay. There are other choices, but the future can be chosen, but the ghost cannot. He can only watch M leave, but he does not know how long he will return, or whether he will return. If the ghost can shout at this time, he will definitely call Amy. Li Bronte's sentence: "Don't leave me in a hell without you."
Thomas Stearns Eliot said: "Remember those precious moments, life and death and changes, pain and loneliness." However, perhaps because of waiting for too long, the memory of ghosts seems to be declining, such as White Sheet C
My neighbor spends the sheets. In the film, there is a scene in which two sheet ghosts talk across the window in an unpopular room- Hua Sheets: "I'm waiting for someone."
White Sheets: "Who?"
Hua Sheets: "I remember I can't get up."
When the house was demolished and the ghosts were able to appear outdoors, Huayin said: "I don't think they will come back again." After the last ray of soul disappeared, is it desperate, or is it finally relieved? Different moods may have different interpretations. Perhaps because nothingness is more vain and sad, people may be like William Faulkner, "between sadness and nothingness, I would rather choose sadness."
If you say, let C's ghost stay at first . , What refuses to go away is love and longing, then later it is a kind of obsession, a kind of obsession that is difficult to dissolve and cannot be eliminated. He exists because of the obsession, which seems to be what he left behind The only meaning. However, the person who needs to tie the bell is needed to untie the bell. When time goes back, the ghost finally gets the note that M left in the gap in the door frame of the room. The so-called obsession immediately vanishes, and finally the little attachment has been suddenly dissipated. , The soul disappeared instantly. In fact, for the poor person caught in an infinite loop, "Death is a kind of happiness, a very deep happiness... It is a journey home after a painful wandering, it is a correction of a serious mistake, it is a shackle that is unbearable. Freed from the shackles. (Thomas Mann) "If C did not completely die after the car accident, then his stay in the world is like a breath, and the final dissipation can be counted as his second death. It is a complete and unhindered death. Death, the real death is heart death.
Many viewers who watched the movie "Manchester by the Sea" would say that Cassie Affleck was mourned. After watching this movie, they thought that someone would say that he was even more mournful. This is true. It seems that for an actor whose performance has reached a certain level and depth, just a word "mourning" will somewhat cause some misunderstandings, or it cannot be used to generalize his acting skills. This time, Cassie, who was deprived of speech and "face", could not even show a pair of eyes that could speak subtext, but he only relied on simple physical performance, even if it was just standing quietly with white sheets, to complete the extremely deep emotions. , Performances with far-reaching connotations are evident in their performance skills.
