The Buddha said: All kinds of life in this life are caused by cause and effect in previous lives. National mythology, national history, family scars, Apichatpong connects them with chaotic time and space, layered sounds and frozen performances, so the film no longer has explicit sensory fear, identity confusion or anxiety of the times, but jumps Get rid of people's inherent impression of third world movies, and unified into a kind of secret language that is easy to synaesthesia and is branded as "reincarnation".
In the middle of the film, the mysterious story that strays from the main line of the story reveals the mystery. The bearers carried the princess to walk in the jungle. The princess' hand stretched out the sedan chair and grabbed the hand of the boy who carried the sedan chair. A simple close-up of the hand suggested the princess' escape. The princess looked at the reflection in the water, it was a young and beautiful face, but in reality she was old and pale, the boy abandoned her, and the princess was heartbroken. The catfish in the water said that the beauty of the princess was unparalleled. She asked the water god to give her the most perfect face. She took off her veil, took off her gold ornaments, and immersed in the water step by step to have sex with the catfish.
The sedan chair—the jungle—the lake, the princess escaped from the airtight space and escaped into a no-man’s land, but after all, she returned to another airtight space, tightly surrounded by water. Just like the buffalo that got loose at the beginning, running in the jungle, and was brought back by the master again.
The cycle image of escape and return is also reflected in the architectural system of Apichatpong. The houses in the countryside are semi-open, the bedrooms have windows open day and night, the dining table is placed on the terrace, and the air, breeze and Mosquitoes keep breathing and circulating indoors and outdoors like breathing. Could it be that Uncle Boonmee has been waiting year after year for the return of his loved one? Therefore, when the deceased wife turns into a ghost, and the missing son turns into a ghost monkey, everything is as natural as every quiet night, and the longing for many years does not need to be repeated. You who have fled for a short time are still on your way back, and you are stepping into life. At the end, I will also have to travel far and wide to find you.
Apichatpong's queen actress Chinchilla Pampas has a face that is calm, indifferent, but able to penetrate the mystery. Her sister-in-law, Jane, played in the film, is like a bond between the inside and the outside. On the drive to the country, Jane rolled down the window, bathed in the slanting light of the setting sun. When Uncle Boonmee and his wife meet again, Jane leaves the table briefly, and she sits on a chair by the fence, looking out into the distance, where white light tubes are placed irregularly, as if never in the future. The call of the world. Uncle Boonmee confided to her the confession of killing Gongfei when she was young, took her to the farmhouse to taste honey, deworm the plants, feed the puppy, and put her will and property in her hands. She accepted everything calmly, such as See through the causal cycle of life.
The blurred area between past and present lives is hidden in a cave deep in the jungle. Jane, his deceased wife and nephew accompanied Uncle Boonmee through the forest. The camera also seemed to be dying. The reverberation of naruto and heartbeat stumbled. It was not until Uncle Boonmee was lying flat in the deep cave (womb) that the camera returned to a serene look, just like the pair of red eyes flashing in the dark night. After completing the confession, the memories of the previous government soldiers were frozen by static images. The body dies and the soul lives forever. Don't worry about where to go after death. The ghosts are not looking for places, but people.
The end of the film takes place in a small hotel room, with doors and windows closed, bright overhead lights, and a constant stream of current affairs on the TV. The monk's nephew knocked on the door to enter, took off his cassocks and put on plain clothes. When they left the room, they saw another one of them still sitting on the bed and watching the news, trapped in body and out of body, in the cold city space , Only the body and soul are torn apart in exchange for the chance to escape.
