Ceylon in the film is the epitome of every man who tries to resist the world.
When I was young, I stabbed everything with all the sharp knives, questioning and destroying happiness and beauty. Going alone, asking what the hell is going on in this world?
Not always.
The world is still that fucking world. The once rebellious and reckless teenager did not reconcile with the world, but he mustered the courage to accept his mediocrity. It is a process of losing yourself and finding yourself.
The main character's living environment is bad. Living in a poor family, father betting on horses, graduating from college without a job, having books rejected, and the country in turmoil. He doesn't believe in the place where he grew up, he is bored here, and the sense of depravity fills here, but he has a noble literary dream in his heart, he doubts family affection, love, and his own beliefs and dreams. This series of doubts is almost always shown to the audience by the director in the form of dialogue. Especially after the verbal confrontation with the literary writer, he threw the naked severed hand of the beautiful woman behind him into the river, vented his anger, and smashed the holy place in his heart with his own hands.
Many of the director's shots are uncomfortable to watch. The shaking of the leaves and the choice of light and shadow, coupled with the rustling wind, made the two people's desire to get closer and closer to the film very boring; the close-up slow close-up of the male protagonist leaning against the door frame gives people a sense of cramping and oppression; When the sun shines, the viewer will be stinged by the sudden light.
Among them, the most meaningful is the lens about ants. The sleeping baby's face covered with ants corresponds to the father's face covered with ants when he fell to sleep. Using the baby's intentions, Ceylon showed that Ceylon saw his father's frailty and unbearableness. After thinking that his father had died under the tree, he turned back again, just like this time when he decided to see his father, he was still soft-hearted.
At the end of the film, Ceylon goes to dig a well. Every time I scratched it, it was a remorse for my past recklessness.
There is no way. When I was young, I hated everything that exists in this world. Only when I was alive did I know that the most comfortable and wonderful way to live is to accept myself and identify with myself.
We are vulnerable sometimes really can not resist the world.
