The whole film also exudes an uneasy and secretive atmosphere. Chablo's control of the atmosphere is indeed in place. There are many horizontal shifting mirrors in the film (for example, when the housekeeper is waiting for Sophie at the train station, the camera moves backwards until it has been long ago. When Sophie arrives and stands) and the back mirror (for example, when Sophie just arrives at the housekeeper’s house, the character steps out of the camera and the camera faces the empty mirror behind the door), they also create a premonition that a bad omen is coming, and finally The long-suppressed violent eruption, their careless killing, is even more absurd and distorted under the background of Mozart's music. Sophie shoots bullets at the book, which is definitely a self-enclosed type for the illiterate. Catharsis, and for Chablo, may also be a metaphor for sarcasm of civilization. The calm after the killing jab is more terrifying than the process of killing the jab. The coldness of the two heroines is not the same as the corpse lying in the mansion. It is precisely this paragraph that is absolutely in line with the two imagery polarities of the film's name, the cold festival. Strong words. In the end, the expression and figure of Sophie standing outside the house accompanied the recording of their killing, which made me unforgettable for a long time. At this time, besides the coldness, it showed a sense of bleakness. Perhaps we should put aside the criticism of class and good and evil in the film. In my opinion, the irrationality and absurdity of human beings in society are shown in the film. It is the core of the film's expression-the narrative of the camera. With the backward mirror, analogy (the character of the two heroines), metaphor (Sophie dare not enter the study and shoot books-fear and criticism of civilization).
