The
reason why Noy's mood world is so beautiful and colorful is all because of the existence of people. Green mountains and green waters, sunset and full moon, these natural individuals and the physical phenomena they produce, extend more meaning in the eyes of people with rich and complex emotions. This is the loneliest human being in the world, the evolutionary result of self-comfort. Scenes, objects, and colors vary from person to person. They are matched with different emotions of human beings, swaying various postures, and exaggerating and sublimating happiness and sadness in personal selfishness. When Noy passed by the sea twice, she sighed differently. First, because of the death of her sister, she resented others more resenting herself. Underneath the calm appearance was deep sadness and regret. At this time, the beauty of Dahai Yeying had nothing to do with her, but rather annoying. With Kenji's company and care, Noy walked out of the past. When she burned her sister's clothes and left here to start a new life, the same scenery had different emotions. People will leave, the nostalgia for the good memories of the past, and the yearning for the future after self-liberation, everything becomes better again.
Kenji imagines
you will have this kind of experience: when you are in a thing, you are suddenly interrupted and unable to continue and complete it, you will imagine what it will be like when it is completed. Kenji likes to imagine, especially his suicide is always interrupted again and again. The beginning of the film is the scene of Kenji hanging on a rope and being discovered. This is his imagination, because when he was about to hang himself, his brother who looked down on him and said he was a lunatic visited him and interrupted him. At the end of the film, Kenji was finally arrested, and he smoked a cigarette in handcuffs. He began to imagine that Noy had arrived in Osaka, Japan, and worked as a waitress in a restaurant, and one day in the future, he would find her. In the world of lonely people, imagination is a very important part. In imagination, he no longer has to be helplessly lonely like in reality, but can realize himself in illusion as much as he can. So when Kenji may face real death, he is not imagining death, because Noy, he is no longer alone.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere of the film is very intoxicating. Music, music is very beautiful. At some point, it rang in the ear, unconsciously immersed, and then diffused together, or drifted away in the illusion, or thought for a long time in ignorance. It's not obtrusive at all, it's not overwhelming at all, it's completely part of the movie, part of the story. When enjoying the film, you will not be tripped by the music; before reminiscing about the details, you will not be suddenly excited by its exquisiteness.
The photography is lovely Du Kefeng. Unlike the past, here is a calm and quiet scene. Since I watched it on the Internet, the effect is not very good, so I won't say more.
In addition to the imaginary illusion and reality interlaced in the film, there are also some surreal scenes. The most fascinating thing is: Noy smoked marijuana and fell asleep on the sofa, Kenji helped her clean the room. After she woke up, it was obvious that Yu Yun was there. So the originally messy room began to dance. All kinds of objects were flying, like magic, and they began to return to order, and Noy danced in it, jumping from downstairs to upstairs.
There are also Nanyang, Nanyang girls, and Nanyang style. Unlike the exquisite yellowing like "Lover", it is a little white in loneliness.
It is very romantic to fall in love in loneliness. Of course it's not the kind of clichéd big-back big joy you are familiar with, or warm and sensational. The emotions we are familiar with have become different here. But it's not as enjoyable as "Pulp Fiction". At the end of the film, the killer from Japan and Noy's ex-boyfriend who came to seek revenge meet in Kenji's apartment, and one of them is shot dead. At this time, Kenji was in the bathroom. Although he knew there was someone outside, Kenji, who was hygienic, hesitated and flushed the toilet. The killer rushed in, Kenji jumped the window and escaped. Up to this point, there is still a taste of black humor, but although he escaped the killer, Kenji was still caught in the end, and he could only dream of happiness. So the film adds to its own unique taste and temperament.
detail
The sincerity and affection of love are often manifested in the details, whether in the movie or in reality. In this somewhat alternative movie, the details are also very wonderful. When Noy went out, he bought sushi specially for Kenji, which was very expensive, but Kenji was allergic to fish. She found that Kenji had a dream, and knew that he would not take the initiative, so she was very strong to ask him to take a bath with her. And Kenji, who is obsessed with cleanliness, helped Noy clean the room thoroughly, washing off all the dirty basins and dirty clothes. When Noy finally left, he gave her a portable ashtray hung on a necklace for her to carry with her.
There are only
two strangers in the universe, you and me . After losing the last relative, we met unexpectedly and fortunately. Of course the situation of the two is a little different. Noy loves her sister, but Kenji's brother hates it. In any case, this cut off their last essential link with the world, and became even more lonely. Because Noy is leaving Thailand to Osaka (Kenji's hometown, very interesting), they only stayed together at Noy's house for three days. They use the three languages of English, Japanese and Thai to communicate in the simplest way. In many cases, it is just "yes or no" and "good or bad". They did not inquire about each other's past, but were deeply attracted by the person closest to them now, and then naturally fell in love. (Kenji, who has always wanted to commit suicide, is a mystery in itself. The director deliberately did not explain his past, but from the details of the film and the last killer from Japan, we can conclude that his past must be very complicated, and he is shy and reticent. Quite different.) In this lonely world, they meet someone who can warm their hearts again, and other things that disturb them will no longer be important. They found their own world, their own universe, in this universe, there are only you and me.
