The performance of the protagonist Costinan in the film, especially the behavior in the first half of the film, makes people feel that, in Chinese colloquialism, it is-waste. The film seemed extremely lonely at the beginning. It was looked down upon by the workers. The bar wanted to strike up a conversation but was indifferently rejected. I wanted to do some "righteous deeds" and was violently flattened. The fall in love and dullness made me anxious to watch. As a result, the image and situation of a lower-level person is outlined. He is not rich, lonely, sensitive, and very AQ. He has repeatedly said that his current job is "temporary" and his current residence is "temporary". In the same way, he is a little bit angry about his own situation, he even has an aloof and sensitive heart, so he is at the bottom, isolated from the upper class, and at the same time incompatible with the personality of the same class, which makes him even more lonely . In fact, the beginning of the film revealed the plight of people like Costinan. From the beginning, he was regarded as a "sissy" and despised by his colleagues. He could not find an alliance in the same class, although he was a bit blunt. Try to get close to others. Then, he came to a bar that was obviously relatively high-end, rather than the type of bar the workers went to. This showed his subtle mentality. He believed that he should and will eventually become a member of the upper class, but The cruel thing was that he seemed out of place with the environment, and he could still only silently and lonely watch in a corner near the toilet. The words with the owner of the rotisserie show his mentality even more. It is his dream to open a security company named after him, or a psychological weapon of self-comfort and defense, which allows him to express a kind of loneliness. Self-esteem.
And the sudden "love" of Mirya makes me think that the director is going to give the protagonist a way out or that the depression in front is foreshadowing, and the light is about to appear (isn't the title all called "Twilight"?). But, soon, my fantasies were shattered like Costinan’s dream. Not to mention Costinan’s clumsy performance in dating made me feel that it’s really no use to fall in love, let alone a carefully set-up. It's a scam. The director is a bit "disgusting" because he always makes Mirya appear to be conscientious to discover from time to time. It makes me feel that light will still appear, but in the end she helped her accomplices complete a theft and blamed Costinan. Costinan’s performance in the most puzzling silence showed a kind of despair, and he was still sensitive and aloof, so he was not hysterical, he was just dumbfounded, and even went into prison with some self-destruction. , Tearing up the letter from the female owner of the rotisserie is a further manifestation of his self-destruction.
The end of the film continues with a cruel tone. When he found a job after he was released from prison, he could continue his life in a normal way, but saw Mirya and her gang members again, so he lost his job, so he awkwardly tried to use one. The knife "revenge", but in exchange for a violent meal. There is no warmth after being released from prison, no turning point after restarting, and no enjoyment of revenge. What Kaurismaki shows us is a real and cruel reality. Seeing such a movie will give people a special feeling. First of all, they feel cordial, even if it takes place in a remote country. At the same time, you will feel a little frustrated. Kaurismaki captures the commonness of some civilians in a subtle way, such as or More or less loneliness, such as a dissatisfaction with one's own status and the accompanying narcissism and sensitivity. What impressed me the most by Costinan was his psychological and realistic gap. His experience is a story that is very different from the "American Dream" of struggle. We also want to live a prosperous life like him. Hope The fate of getting rid of poverty (here refers to a kind of relative poverty, a wealth contrast that is always upwards), luxury houses, good cars, parents have placed their hopes on us since childhood, and we also hope for ourselves in school. In the workplace, we also struggled like this. Many people couldn't achieve this goal. So we became parents, so we continued to place our hopes on our children. However, most of us will not live too miserably. Costinan is an extreme example, but it is also the example that most arouses our strong sympathy, even fear, the kind of loneliness he experienced, the kind Is the cold, that kind of despair, also the end of failure that we fear in our struggle? Fortunately, Kaurismaki is not so desperate. After being beaten, Costinan still has a rotisserie owner who loves him. After all, when he seems to be in desperation, there is still a woman who cares about him. At the end of the film, when the two of them held their hands together, I had been feeling cold for more than an hour, and I did not want to do any in-depth interpretation of this. I believe Costinan will realize after the Great Compassion, I believe in despair. Later, he will usher in hope. I believe that he will live a happy life in a rotisserie with the owner of the rotisserie. It seems that although the happy ending is sometimes frustrating, it is indeed the best hope in the cruel reality.
