I wanted to write a film review the first time I watched "Naked". But the fingers were placed on the cold keyboard, soaked in the container for one night, without leaving a word, the four characters "add title" are so empty and silent, there is not much breathing signal. Mr. Mike Leigh used an unfinished story to outline the inevitability of ordinary life, the bone marrow of fatalistic understanding. Naked — The conflict of reality and the anxiety of life that people cannot face their own'essential existence' forever. In most cases, we have chosen to use various methods to "escape" — spiritual sustenance, religion, career, family; as Mr. Lu Xun said through the mouth of Juan Sheng, "I love Zijun, relying on her Escape this silence and emptiness" (203). But no matter how you escape, people can't escape the life that is bound by the rain. Human beings who want to control their lives can't even control their own breathing. Mike Leigh's movie is air, invisibly invading the viewer's skin. Every sentence, every shot, and every expression of the actor hides a moon. It is said that Mike Leigh never took a complete script when he made a movie. If the movie is a whole of details, its lifeline is beyond the "child who has never eaten anyone", it is the "Schreber" who becomes a woman, etc. The life of the movie is directly and freely linked to each individual actor under the lens , Showing detached vitality.
The shaking camera approached a bunch of couples having sex on the side of the road. The woman screamed, her face blurred by the darkness of night. Jonny was a down-and-out'intellectual, he stood up and walked towards the endless night. The next place he appears is Louise's home in London. Johnny is a scholar, always holding a book in his hand, and the content of the book has become his self-deprecating means to dispel emptiness. In the past, I always thought that if there was a question, I would look for books in this area to find the answer. It’s a pity that there are no answers to any questions in the book. From the Bible to Jewish mysticism, I have proven time and time again that there is no answer to a question in the book, "are you with me?" No one is with him, no one understands What does he love for, as he said to Louis, "this is everything you've hoped for, but you don't know what do you hope." This sentence makes me feel ridiculous, but I can't tell the end What's ridiculous. Johnny doesn't desire to be with anyone, and choice is just a way of self-deception of consciousness. Everyone in the movie has his own unique life system that he or he doesn't know, and no one is an expert. The first person Jonny met was Sophie, one of Louise's roommates. She stayed in the coconut shell provided by Sandra every day, smoked, and spent the years. Johnny's appearance seemed to break her habitual life in a sense-she fell in love with Johnny unhesitatingly. All of this is a pastime for Johnny, an unconscious way of being, not even interest. In this sense, Johnny is the God in his own life, and God is also A DEAD BODY — "only my own".
Louise is empty-coming to London from Manchester, unwillingness to ordinary fate is the driving force of her professional aspirations. Then why write a card to your old boyfriend Johnny. She longed for an ordinary exchange, an ordinary relationship, and finally chose to pack it back to Manchester home. She told Sophie, "I wish I am home, people talk to you, you talk a pile of shit" — but what exactly is communication? Woolen cloth? Louise is an ordinary and kind girl, she is tough but timid in the face of fate. All her voices are expressed in silence. When Johnny was making love with Sophie downstairs, she was lying alone on the double bed in her attic, winking one eye. Seeing Johnny's wounded face, there were silent tears, and he hugged Johnny quietly. But compared to Sophie's roar, we can rest assured of Louise's future that she will not go crazy. Louise is a character I like very much in the movie. Her resistance is silent but full of power. I know that her heart is full of flames.
Johny said he came to London to avoid being beaten at his hometown in Manchester, but even in London, he was beaten up. During these nights on the streets, he met all kinds of people. The illiterate boy shaking his head on the street corner was looking for his girlfriend, Maggie, on the streets of London in winter. Homeless Johnny is sitting on the corner smoking a cigarette, longing for a greeting from people. The security guard of the Space Security Office has not been home for 13 years, thinking alone at night, watching the old woman across the window masturbating. Johnny plucked up the courage to knock on the old woman's door, and in front of the slutty woman, Johnny did nothing. However, when I left in the morning, I took away the old woman's favorite book, Jane Austen's "Emma". The girl in the fast food restaurant looked sad. She gave Johnny some beans, and in the cold night, she returned Johnny to his street. He finally had an attack. He roared in the street, following a guy who put up posters at night. People who meet in life, under the interlacing of time and space, they meet at the right time, and they just go to the fork. These people live outside of our visible world and in our bodies. We have never wandered on the streets, nor have we seen people walking on the streets at night in various cities.
Not knowing where Sophie was, Johnny took the 390 pounds on the table, dragged a broken leg, and walked to the street. Mike Leigh is always like this. The people in the story are always failing, confused, or engaged in certain dangerous games. The story never ends, it is lonely and dark. Naked, like life, like time, and fate. The whole movie reminds me of Borges’ verse: "I give you my loneliness, my darkness, and the hunger of my heart. I try to impress you with confusion, danger, and failure." Probably, this is what moved me most about this movie.
