I've been playing Bolero on loop for the last few days. I seldom listen to classical music, but this dance tune showed me a magical charm - it had all the classical grace, the spirit of a march, and a slightly eerie vibe that made me want to repeat it over and over again. Savor it. In a movie I recently watched, "The Exposure of Love," "Bolero" lasted for nearly thirty minutes as an episode, but it matched the rhythm of the thirty-minute film without any sense of disobedience. This part of the movie also fully combines the three temperaments of beauty, blood, and weirdness, so that I found a similar feeling to watching "The Headless Horseman". Film director Yuan Ziwen, his representative works such as "Icy Tropical Fish" and "Mysterious Circus" all have a strong tendency of bloody violence and heavy taste. They are standard cult films, and some cult elements have also been added to this work. But it mostly tells a love story. Combining love and cult elements sounds difficult, but the director managed to combine all elements of love, cult, religion, perversion, youth, domestic violence, etc., and completed a four-hour but extremely complete film. 1. The style fragmentation caused by the mixing of elements is inevitable. For example, you don't know whether the male protagonist's style of fighting next time will be bloody youth or blood spurting. 2. There are a lot of vulgar elements but no low-level feeling, and many clips that seem to be spoofs make people have to do more thinking, probably this is the author's skill (the last movie that gave me a similar feeling was "Buy" Killer"). 3. The perverted behavior of the male protagonist's candid filming is quite bitter and helpless in contrast to his pure and noble soul, while other female protagonists, such as Yoko, hates all men because of her hatred for her father, and Erguchi, the female protagonist, suffered violence because of violence. The perversion of the mind is deplorable. 4. The main characters of the whole play are all raised by their fathers, and the images of several fathers have their own shortcomings, resulting in the "perversion" of their children. Perhaps the layer of thought the director wanted to express was to call for concern for children in single-parent families (2333...). 5. The internal scene of the Zero Church, which destroyed the murderousness, made me see a picture of heaven or hell—probably people who have no selfish desires are no longer human. 6. With an uneasy atmosphere on Gu Chi, he broke into the plot, and quickly made the movie go in the direction of depression and pain. She inflicted violence on the male protagonist's family, but I feel that she is just a girl who pursues love-because she has no other way to express her feelings other than violence. 7. The father and stepmother of the male protagonist finally choose to escape their responsibilities and embrace their own selfish happiness, which should be despised, but it is indeed a smart choice in a perverted society.
