This is a bit of a statement. It's big, so far I can't do anything except brag and obscenity. It may be a long way off to make something with "surrealism" elements! At this time, I wanted to set the time back to when I just watched the movie. At that time, I honestly told a friend that I had watched a movie in the afternoon and I couldn't understand it at all. This movie is a real masterpiece...
My friend sneered at my experience, saying that I never watched movies whether they were “masterpieces” or not, nor would I specifically look for any masterpieces to watch. I just enjoy watching them...day! Isn’t it a kind of enjoyment to watch the works of masters? What she said made people smell a bit of resistance to the master's works, ignoring my sincere breath. At this time, I was silent. At this moment, I suddenly felt that rejecting "masterworks" and superstitious "masterworks" is not a good mentality. Certain encounters in reality also passed by at this moment. For example, when I was watching a certain "master's work", people often broke in, but when they saw the word "master", they didn't sit down and watch with me sincerely but fled.
The word "master" has become a synonym for obscure and incomprehensible, and it also gives me a strange, maverick label in reality. This makes me a little bit dumbfounded. Is "Master" so incomprehensible and terrible? Being surrounded by the iron fence of the "Master" and fleeing in fright is the most sighing thing in this world! "Master" is not a ghost, I'm afraid of him! At this time, I can only say that those who escape will never realize how enjoyable it is to solve the obstacles set by the master one by one, and they will never understand how ecstasy sweeps people after going through many obstacles and finally finding a treasure.
My heart...On this topic, I thought about my original intention of watching the master's works by the way. If I like to be tortured by the works of masters from the beginning, or that I can deeply understand the works of masters from the beginning, this seems too much like a masochist and a genius. I am nothing. I admit that starting to get in touch with "masterworks" is the same as getting started with rock music, with a little bit of self-proclaimed maverick. However, when I bid farewell to the ignorant dung-green era, I completely ignored whether the things I saw were masterpieces or not. I also really feel that there is nothing more enjoyable in this world than to go around the obstacles and find out their hidden intentions with a master in hide-and-seek! Since I have this kind of "adventure" experience, those too simple works have been secretive to me. But in fact, I am not superstitious about the works of masters. As long as I make things with heart in my life, I will love and respect them very much. I didn't deliberately reject those very popular things. Didn't I also watch Jay Chou's movies?
Let's go back to the movie "Golden Age". Although I think its surreal elements are too obscure for me to bear, I still have a deep impression of some scenes. For example, when the film shows jealousy, anger, and pain in the male protagonist, I find it very explosive.
I saw him stumbling into the room with his hair, tearing up the pillows, anxiously clutching the feathers in the two pillows and spinning around in the room, the hobbled figure shattered and placed the plaster statue in the room, and then he frantically The burning tree, priests, furniture, and an inexplicable model of a giraffe are pushed out of the window... The burning tree brings a powerful shock to people's vision when the window appears, and it cannot but make people think of it. At this moment, the jealousy in the hero's heart is burning like this big tree.
There are also many profound themes in the film. What I can perceive is probably thinking about sex and religion. These things combined with the director's haunting scene changes and inexplicable props messed up my head. I can't figure out whether the director wants to criticize or support something through these methods. I only vaguely think that the director is very free when thinking about these propositions.
"Golden Age" left me with only such a superficial insight. As for the deeper connotations contained in it, let us look forward to those who like this movie answering us! I don't like "Golden Age" very much. Knowing what it is about is enough for me.
