3.5. I think I can give a recommended value of 4 when I see it halfway through, but the interpretation of the final ending is really disappointing. If you want to see (pseudo) young male college student Oscar passionately perform a heavy Daddy issue, I strongly recommend a product.
The sense of sight of "Sword in the Water" runs through from beginning to end, once again proving that the complex plot may not be able to create a representative classic movie, and this is the single scene, simple plot, and extremely sophisticated structure of "Sword in the Water". People are impressive. This is even more tribute to this point in "Desperate Mediterranean": starting from the first male protagonist must be RYDAL, his "knife" between the husband and wife is his language advantage in a foreign country; age and class The reverse difference makes the relationship between the two male protagonists even tighter. At the end of the story, their conversation about the heroine in Istanbul almost completely illustrates this typical Polanski triangle relationship-men like you and me are in It's almost a community in nature (it's just that the gap between age and experience creates a temporary appearance of difference). It’s a pity that the setting of the heroine is far inferior to that of the heroine in "Knife in the Water". The role of the heroine in expressing the relationship between the husband and the A link in the structure is seriously out of balance, and the final lack of this link inspires a more complicated and ambiguous confrontation between the two men. But in fact, the original title of the movie can be regarded as a comment on this. The background of the story set in Athens adds some hints and metaphors of ancient Greek mythology. The rhythm of the first two thirds is very good. However, as a commercial film where the audience generally has requirements for the overall structure and climax setting, the ending is too discouraged. Just a dozen minutes almost completely ruined the front. A sense of tension and suspense.
But then again, I actually saw a comment saying that this movie is too boring, I am really curious about whether this kind of audience feels bored...
