Lost river, Lost world.

I have been thinking about why the rating of this movie is so low. In my opinion, this is definitely a rare and good movie. Many people will have a doubt after watching it? What do you want to say about this movie? Then he would think about it. After a while, he would give himself an answer to convince himself, and then he waved his hand and sighed: What kind of rubbish! Maybe there are some sensible people in this, they will sigh: Ah~ the filming is okay, it is where it is not enough, where the arrangement is not good, after all, the director is an actor!

A dark and slightly horrible river, the lonely man took the lonely paddle and paddled the lonely boat in the lonely river to the more lonely shore.

I hate that some people use so-called professional terms to evaluate it, the color tone, the rhythm, the script, what kind of mess. Although it is not ruled out that Commander High himself thinks this movie is a failure, but I want to say that the essence of this movie is the word loneliness. The movie opens with the boy picking up rubbish in the trash dump to subsidize his family, and then being chased by another "social youth". In this simple section, a sense of loneliness arises spontaneously, whether it is the chased or chased. Killers, they are all lonely. There is no soundtrack in this segment. It is so quiet that there is only the sound of the male protagonist turning the trash. The sky in the movie is gray and you can vaguely feel the fog. Intuitively it should be morning. See the actors. I can feel that it may be colder in summer.

The hero of the film

The city in the movie seems to have just been invaded by zombies. It is sparsely populated, but when you find that there are no zombies, will you suddenly realize that, wow, how lonely the people in this city should be, the male lead’s family It's still harmonious (there are only two scenes in this film that can feel the human touch, here is one), but based on their family as a unit, they seem to have no contact with relatives and friends. The protagonist's mother plans to work in a suburban circus. (In fact, the whole city in the film is a suburb.) This circus is not an ordinary circus. The circus performs murder and self-abuse.

Bloody show
Theater entrance

I was actually curious to see this place. Where did the people in the theater come from? This obviously looks like an empty city! These people in the theater are cruel and surly, enjoying the blood and massacre. Facing the blood, they are as crazy as they are poisoned. Why are there such a large number of "riot youths" in this empty city, because this is a lonely city, so lonely. There is no communication with people. People will only enjoy each other's blood. How lonely and fearful it is to be in such a world.

Another important role is the heroine. The heroine also plays a very important role in this film. The heroine is a weird girl. Her weirdness stems from her loneliness. She and her grandmother who is too old to speak Living together in a dim hut, talking to each other every day to the mouse that I raised, it is not enough to describe her as a mysterious girl, she is like a witch! ! !

Finally, the two lonely people, the male lead and the female lead, are in love. Yes, one loneliness becomes two loneliness. Even if they are in love, it is their unique "lonely love". Well, maybe they Not in love, just met. . . I can't seem to say that...Hey, anyway, two very lonely people met.

This is no longer the red century

For me, this movie talks about loneliness from beginning to end. I watched this movie on a winter night in a blanket. At that time, this strong sense of loneliness was even more biting than the wind and snow on the balcony. It's hard to calm down for a long time.

How can human beings be so lonely! Run in the night!
