Holy Motors is Hollywood

This is an ironic specimen. At the beginning of the
DreamWorks
movie, a bunch of people were hypnotized in the theater. No doubt they were watching the movie. In reality, we are also hypnotized when we watch the movie with our eyes open. Karaks stood on a high altitude overlooking the theater, when an unclothed child walked through the aisle, followed by an old black dog. I feel that it represents rebirth and death. Our whole life is spent in the theater from birth to death, hypnotized. . .
Carax's camera was
followed by a picture of a little girl looking out from the window. The lens gradually zoomed out. The window was circular, which looked like a camera lens. Karax said: "I'm standing behind the camera, opposite is a woman's face, and the whole world..." This is obviously Karax's camera. This also marked the beginning of his movie.
The
ten stories of satire and counterattack represent almost all movies that can be seen now: motion capture, CG, eroticism, ethics, gangsters, and love are almost the epitome of the entire film industry. On the contrary, I feel that the story itself is not given so much meaning by the card. On the contrary, some of the passages are deliberately badly filmed. Among these bad stories, you will think that there is only one story that was made very well (Did the Gutter Frankenstein) and that is exactly Karax’s own movie. And that actor's name is "Oscar", which is obviously intentional. This is Karax's counterattack and satire on the entire American film industry.
Denis Lawan in the
morning when Denis Lawan came out of the house was the end of the first script, and when he returned home to accompany the orangutans in the evening, it was his last script. It can be seen that the actors are performing 24 hours a day. It does not matter which is the real home and which is the home in the script. No wonder he complained to the big boss Piccoli in the car: "Now the camera is getting smaller and smaller, and the small ones are no longer visible." It implies that the entertainment industry has regarded the entire life of a star as a "movie" and consumer product.
Holy Motors is a word conjugation
Holy Motors is Hollywood, and Karaks likes to play this kind of phoneme inflection game. Like the products on the production line, each of the extended luxury cars enters and exits in an orderly manner, mass-produced "Dreamland". Holy Motors is the dream factory. In the evening, these dream-making machines whispered: "Humans no longer need visible machines, and we are going to be eliminated." At this moment, I suddenly thought of some black and white old movie scenes interspersed in the cutscene of each story: monotonous And boring physical exercises. Aren't these all dreams that Hollywood once made? They are the products that have been eliminated. And the current extended luxury cars will be eliminated sooner or later. Hollywood is advancing rapidly on the road of pursuing dreams, who will miss those old movies. With the continuous renovation of dream-making methods, one day movie will become a historical term. While satirizing the trend of contemporary film creation, Karax also expressed respect for old films.

    Performance is not only the art of healing others, but also a process of self-reflection. The frequent changes of roles make people feel a kind of sentimentality that penetrates life, but what are the whispers of the extended car at the end?
