Not ugly, just powerless

It's not ugly, it can even be said to be a beautiful and temperament film. I have always liked Juliet Binoche. She is as beautiful as ever and very prominent in this movie. However, it is her clear and soft temperament that lacks the power needed to promote the plot itself, but there is no red-haired girl who is also the heroine performs well. And Robert Pattinson... as always... carrots. As early as the time of Harry Potter, I disliked this man very much. I always feel that he is rigid, lacking in acting skills, and completely unable to understand why he can get hot. But think about Brad Pitt, who has been popular for many years, and I have never liked him, nor do I approve of his acting skills. I can only say that I am too non-mainstream... In general, this is a weak movie. The female director hopes to show the human tension in the desire for sex and reproduction in a closed, suppressed and alienated space. In fact, it is very lame and lacks persuasiveness. And writing this story in the background of science fiction does not have the actual benefits of technology itself, and it cannot add luster to the movie itself. Maybe this movie can be made better, but to be honest, this deliberately created depressive mood is too old-fashioned, and the plot layout does not have a good theme. Or is it because I don’t like Robert Pattinson so much, I think he is such a foolish radish, totally unworthy to play with Juliet Binoche, let alone being raped?

    The film itself, the composition of time as an object of intention. Water mist, light, and soil become sensory materials, and there are not too many close-ups, which excludes psychology to a certain extent. The act of recall participates in the generation of the intended object, which is reflected in the film narrative. Existence lies in the belief of immortality, and the inner transcends all fixed concepts of boundaries, so there will be traversal of black holes. When a black hole is determined as a symbol, since it is definite, it must be able to traverse. It does not exist in the disappearance of the cogito, but as long as there is light, intuition can manifest. High concept is easy to think of 2001 A Space Odyssey, but life in space is more delicate and the themes are not exactly the same

    In the form of an Eastern European space film, it uses space to narrate gender wrestling. Desire itself is like a black hole that cannot be filled, only swallowed. The fate of the planet comes from endless reproduction, and high life means pure emotion that starts from desire and ends at desire.

High Life quotes

  • Tcherny: "I'd rather sink into the Earth after I've lost you than to sit around and grieve once you've gone off into your destiny."

    Monte: What are you talking' about?

    Tcherny: It's what my wife told me. I told her I was doing all this for her and our son, to turn our shame into some type of glory, you know? She says that this mission was like burying her twice and that my idea of glory was bullshit.

  • Monte: She's mine, and I'm hers.
