The 16th #法罗岛电影节# will bring you "Snake's Embrace" on the 2nd screening day of the main competition unit. Below, please see the comments on the frontline people who are exploring the mysteries of the rainforest trapped in the junction of reality and reality.

Prometheus:

It's too hypnotic.

RyanRyqn:

Memories of Latin America in black and white images.

Fruit trees:

The two journeys seem to have spiritual cultivation and traceability.

George:

The tossing black makes people want to find something in it.

The song is wrong:

Dreamlike loneliness, reunion across time, is both resurrection and salvation.

Pincent:

A love letter dedicated to the Amazon jungle and primitive civilization, with a very divine scene at the end.

Polaris.J:

I have always disliked the subject matter of the collision between primitive and barbaric civilization and modern civilization... The impression is uncomfortable, and it is indeed very subjective.

The heart is a lonely hunter:

Using primitive black-and-white techniques to photograph primitive tropical jungles has some gimmicks in itself. The damp and heat of the tropical rainforest looks dark and fatalistic under the black-and-white adjustment. Too far from God, too close to the white pig.

Poem to Adelin:

History is the solidification of time, and the future is the whereabouts of time. Although the two are essentially at odds with each other under the linearity of the nested structure, they will eventually return due to the unfolding of the narrative, and people will eventually step into the same river twice. The dialectics of both appearing at the same time truly flowed.

RIVER:

When the so-called civilization needs to subconsciously cover up, hide, and even exterminate the so-called barbaric relics to prove its superiority, the standard of civilization is also put on a question mark. The evolution of history cannot prove the right choice and the justice of behavior. History Inevitability is the fig leaf that most despicable people cover for their blood-stained achievements.

Full of Zhao+:

I don’t like it. I always feel that the two episodes of Amazon drifting are too straightforward and flat. Even when it comes to religion and witchcraft, they only show the superficial madness and good and evil, which is far from the mystery and weird I expected. Of course, the mental pollution of the dream at the end is still very interesting. Has the protagonist, who sneered at poetic romance when he was young, ever thought that he would be full of these words when he was old?

I know her a little bit:

The magic in the jungle never needs words, the dreams in the journey never lack loneliness, and the silent darkness contains eternal loss. Some people will never be able to return, but those who return, they are ready to face what is coming. everything. "The things you care about will only lead you to madness and death. Do you remember all the things? I still feel like a soul, but I start to think about it, and I am alone, I don’t know the direction, you have to go by yourself Look, this is taboo."

The Queen of the Faroe Island Empire:

The saint cloth wraps the body of the devil, and it stretches out its helping claws, attaching it to the ears of the suffering person to deliver the oracle. The same is true for white people. They are the best at disguising, and the reasons for spreading advanced culture cover up religious exclusion. The power of guns is forcing colonial rule to move forward. They have a moral sense of 50 points, but they have a moral high point of 100 points and 150 points. Superiority. The winding rivers of the Amazon rainforest resemble the graceful bodies of giant anacondas. Westerners who travel with heavy loads rely on small boats to sail, abandon their original obsessions and prejudices, embrace the rainforest, and giant anacondas will embrace you; otherwise, giant anacondas will back away from greedy people. .

No one at midnight:

The image display of the exotic folklore starts from the curiosity, and when the image of the "pseudo savior" first appeared, it began to break the curiosity, and finally reached the divine death, all the objects that had been pleased before were crushed and crushed by a big hand. . "If those rubber merchants are called humans, then I am a snake." The same beings killed each other because of the imprints of different civilizations, and a new civilization was born in this blend of blood and fire. The scarred land has always been facing natural torture since its innate, and human civilization is the most complicated mysticism.

Cangshan ancient well air to the moon:

The conflict between civilization and primitive, the invasion of modern civilization not only brought damage to the environment, but also brought an impact on local tribal culture. Yakuna, a symbol of local tribal knowledge, can be mass-produced, and locals gradually believe in Western religions. , The leader of the tribe intends to collect the compass. Mankat’s attitude towards modern knowledge seems to be contradictory. When the tribal leader wants a compass, he feels that knowledge belongs to everyone and should not prevent others from learning. It is planted, and it rejects the use of compasses and maps to find directions, and attaches importance to feeling the world with the heart. Facing the irreversible demise of tribal culture, he can only hope to use modern people in the civilized world to pass on their knowledge.

Hethang:

This kind of film with pure primitiveness as the core of the story is not my food. The imaginative narrative technique of this film directly hit my gunpoint. It can be said that the whole viewing process is completely half asleep. Finished in waking up. But for such an alternative beauty that is extremely remote from our lives, it is really impossible to refuse. In the rough black-and-white images, in the intermingling of two incompatible but interdependent timelines, in the frame of the never-stop throbbing vitality in the jungle and the invisible external pressure. , A tropical whisper full of dreams but with a touch of reality slowly opened. Following the turbulent flow of Amazonian water and the fiercely burning real fire or heart fire, what we taste is what these people who worship the gods treat strangers. They have been echoing like the voice from the top of the sky: Embracing the giant snake here, you will either run out of energy or become immortal. This is the story of the jungle and your destiny...

#FIFF16# The second day of the main competition section will be released later, please wait and see.

    Amazon Dream Traveler, an elegy of a lost civilization. Herzog-like texture, the connection between time and space is mysterious. If you don't throw away your belongings, you'll never find the promised land. When physically and mentally exhausted, it is difficult to digest a highly divine and poetic film, otherwise, you will fall into a deep dream together with the protagonist.
