Allan Poe's Aesthetics
Allan Poe is a famous American poet, novelist, and literary critic in the 19th century. He is known as the pioneer of aestheticism, the originator of "psychological novels," "detective novels," and "science fiction." In his Gothic novels, the Chinese style is ghostly and graceful, and the theme often reveals a fascination with blood and death. He is good at the psychological description of characters, and highlights the themes of moral exploration and human conflict. It can be said that the poignant horror is full of the deep entanglement of good and evil in the human soul, as well as the fear of death and punishment. Allan Poe's aesthetics is both the aesthetics of the film.
The Death of the Girl
When Baltimore and Poe walked on a dangerous cliff, it also means that the writing of the absent "writer" has also entered a spiritual danger zone. Roland Barthes once said: In-depth writing is an extremely dangerous thing, and its degree of danger is almost life-threatening. And when the writer enters the most secret zone in his heart and uncovers the darkest scars, what we see is: the writer's fear of losing his son in old age. The writer is Coppola himself. I can't help but think of similar fears in Coppola's last work "Tetro." Perhaps her father, Sofia Coppola, owes much of the credit to the director of Virgo "Death of the Virgin".
The dream writing
title "From Now to Sunrise" and the end clearly indicate that the entire film is the writer's writing adventure from early morning to before sunrise. And when it only happens in the writer's mind. And the opening of the film "There was a small town where people lived easy..." is the opening of the whole novel, which makes Fang Kimmer appear joking and black humor about the plot of how to rack his brains for the opening of the novel. Regarding reality and illusion, everything in the film is actually the material in the writer's mind, but some of these materials are real events that the writer personally visited before, and some are the writer's aesthetics and personal emotions. The sheriff and the murder case are real, and Poe, vampires, and speculations about the cause of the girl’s death are all thoughts by the writer.
