But the movie isn't all science fiction. The whole film uses an extremely realistic approach, focusing on revealing the psychology of the characters. The movie has a strong sense of picture, very few words, strong psychological tension, and excellent control of relaxation. For example, several scenes after the car accident are all silent pictures, which vividly render the tragedy of a youth that has not been fully unveiled before it has ended. This also makes for a logical set-up for later episodes of gene duplication.
Therefore, in a sense, this film is also a psychological film, revealing the complex and delicate relationship between mother and child. According to Freud's theory, mother and son are not only mother-son relationship, but also lover relationship. Fathers and sons are natural rivals. The plot of the lover's gene duplication in this film makes the above-mentioned Freund's theory into a movie, a story, and a plot, which can be described as an intuitive interpretation and interpretation of Freund's theory.
Thomas finally knew the dual identities of his lover and son, and was extremely confused about the questions of "who am I" and "who are you", that is, the identity of self and mother.
This is also a modern version of the ancient Greek tragedy Oedipus. Oedipus in the Greek tragedy was predicted by the wizard shortly after his birth that he would kill his father and marry his mother. When he grew up, Oedipus knew this prophecy and tried to get rid of this fate, but in the end it was still unsuccessful. Finally he blinded himself and walked into the wilderness. In this film, Thomas finally left the seaside wooden house on a foggy morning and walked into the vast fog.
Knowing the tradition and background of Western culture, the interpretation of this play can be said to be logical. However, this interpretation of the classics will inevitably lose the sense of novelty of appreciating the play.
The tone of the film is in line with the overall sentimental, melancholy, and tragic atmosphere. The use of ultra-wide-angle lenses is especially good. It seems that the realm of the vast sea and the sky and nothing between the sky and the earth can only be reflected with this kind of lens. Cinematography is top-notch, and you can indeed learn a lot of photography's unique skills from it.
