Weird Realism Masterpiece
Jolie 2022-08-14 21:00:04
This is a film and television work of grotesque realism. The typical technique of grotesque realism is the grotesque human body. Bakhtin believes that the grotesque human body is deformed, weird, and ugly, but full of possibilities. It contains factors that constantly grow and constantly exceed its boundaries. It is a "human body in formation." It is the characteristic of a phenomenon that is changing and unfinished in the stages of death and birth, growth and formation. The whole film ranges from the death and unemployment of the mother, and thus the duality of the old and the new in the real world of friendship, love, and work found in Italy, to the protagonist's intercourse, pregnancy, childbirth, development, aging, death, etc. The duality of the human body's dying and rebirth is undoubtedly expounding the director's understanding of grotesque realism. In the end, just like spring, this season of repeated vitality in nature, break and stand, die and live. The meaning of death is to make life young.

Evan: I'd still like to grab coffee or something, sometime. Because I think you're the most attractive person I've ever seen. But that doesn't outweigh that you might be a mental patient and I gotta make sure that you're the kind of crazy I can deal with.

Evan: You don't sound Italian, are you really from around here?
Louise: Not far. I traveled a lot, though. So I sound weird as fuck.
