The movie is three and a half hours, but it doesn't feel long at all. Currently, fourth in my Sci-Film ranking? The first three are 2001, Solaris, Blade Runner1982.
In the cabin, the orchestral music that represents the real warmth and the currents of conspiracy and illusion are entangled and fought, mixed with the psychological entanglement of Real Eva's contact unit and the world in which it is located, and the conflict between Stiller's self-cognition and external cognition. Hope and disappointment.
In the end, the space in which Stiller wakes up is also similar to a Box. Is there a Box further up, and is there a series of worlds nested in layers? The experimental plan, which was full of conspiracy and could not continue, was ended by gunfire shot into Stiller's chest, the plug was unplugged, people stopped, and fell into a deadly silence of exhaustion. (The world in "Gravity Rainbow")
What about our world? Shouldn't everything be applied to the theory of mechanics, what is the absolute concept of the first guiding principle, the one that is beyond the active nature, God, the source of will, and the rational world? It’s unknown, there is no way out for all questions. A piece of eraser that disappears inexplicably in life, and the Guentlaus disappeared inexplicably in the movie. Perhaps both point to the same reason: bugs and repairs in the unit world that exist for experimentation. . Perhaps it's just that the former falls into other places, while the latter is just an artistic structure in science fiction.
Cut and lens: The disappearance of all established things: Achilles and the tortoise, Lautz, Eva, all accompanied by the tense, sharp and sudden electronic music. (Can it be regarded as a propaganda and affirmation of the German electronic music fanaticism at the time?) The rapid Go Back of the camera after Walmer tells the truth corresponds to the phrase "Something about world ends."
Contents: 1. Projection created by various mirrors, water cups, and metal decorations. 2. The subtlety of a signature subtitle, the color and lines of the flower arrangement, and the spiral force structure of the bench all reveal the deliberately arranged, modernist artificial aesthetics (showing the director's pursuit of perfect geometric composition.) This Two points also conceal the theme of the real projection of the contact unit: Achilles wants to use a spear to stab the moving turtle, but the movement is actually an illusion. The water surface is a projection of a real turtle, and Stiller is also a projection of a real art director.
2. Peep, everywhere: 1. The peep of ZZ power represented by Siskens like the big brother, the tentacles of power spread to every corner of your life: Secretary, Holmer, the new IKZ security minister, they are right Stiller's hostile eyes were close-up. 2. Temporary tampering from "above", like Hal2000, represents the horror of the unknown side of technology: repeated interruptions by waiters, sick eyes of strangers watching, Smokler’s bald head who looks suspiciously, and women return Expressionism's makeup, and even the other intentional loosening-its falling object killed a woman (the original target of the attack was Stiller) robotic boom. These prying eyes are pervasive, and make people murmur before they finish watching. Why is the male protagonist not alert yet? At this time, you can just say whatever you think of, don't be alert to other people's interruptions, don't you want to find the truth alive? Very anxious.
3. Human emotions are the most fragile but also the most powerful vitality interspersed between illusion and reality. Eva fell in love with Stiller, who had a similar appearance and a very different personality, and gave him a second life with an anti-male creator's will, stepping out of the "underneath" world and stepping into the reality that is pleasing to the present. : "A Brand New TRUE MEN". But the audience is like me, but their trust is temporarily destroyed. At the end when they embrace and enjoy the touch and vitality of the real world, I can't help but doubt the above.
4. The blue that I don’t know how to use to define the pool at the beginning is cold, melancholy, and lifeless. The actors’ slow movements and sluggish eyes. In the discussion between Fromm and Stiller about the Contact Unit, I doubted the authenticity of this world, but I have to attribute it to this film or the original work. The impression and experience that the inspired Matrix brought me. Then Stiller’s strong will to be forced by the “normal people” around him, but still able to resist self-collapse, and the constant willows in the process of pursuing the truth attract the audience and follow the rhythm. The essential.
Subject: We claim that human thinking has no reins, just like Haln before the crash and the newspaper editor who thought he had discovered a huge conspiracy. The coffee we see is brown, which is determined by its chemical structure and our iris, retina, and optic nerves. Is it? Is the boundary we think of as the real boundary that can destroy us? Of course, maybe life has no truth, only death ("Seventh Seal"), but at any time, don't be arrogant about the road of discovery. Naturally, as a creation outside of human thinking, it has hit us countless times.
Pantheism cannot be verified. We are independent and we transcend, but Siskens-like arrogance and arrogance will inevitably bring costs, ranging from the sudden cessation of joy and the coldness and boring after the sudden drop in heat, and the most commonplace. Thousands of times, time after time pain, time after time numb Catastrophes.
Question: The film has stagnated since it reached the "top", without deep-digging conclusive speculations. This point has a long melancholy that has been laid out a lot but not erupted enough. It has accumulated so much power of perplexity, but it stops at the end. Yu's happily resurrected titillation and shut-down unit world is a bit of a waste for the whole film.
For the revealing and sublimation of truth, in the form of words or pictures: In 2001, Nietzsche’s three-stage evolution of Superman was completed with the picture of the Earth Baby, and Solaris used the male protagonist’s self-question about love and life to say goodbye to that piece of "idea" "The Sea", Blade Runner is the straightforward expression of Replicants driving to freedom in the bright sunshine. The ending of this film is missing something, which is a little regrettable.
In addition, will Stiller stop suspicion after reaching the "above"? This is not in line with his personality and makes the audience fall into the doubt that "Shawshank who escaped successfully is also a programmed program." Perhaps it is also the director's intention? Even if it is, the surface irony of the ending can be expanded a bit.
Testimonials: But overall, this movie really deserves a five-point score. The original "Simulacron-3" has not been read yet. After reading the "Rendezvous with Rama" at hand, I may continue to read the "Bible". What years are it now? This is the first time I have watched Fassbinder's works. I will look at his other works after watching Lao Ta's "Sacrifice". This film has lived up to expectations, and it is well received. Friends who are interested in science fiction movies can take the time to take a look. It is highly recommended! ❤️
