In "Twilight", the protagonist is a security guard on duty at night. He sleeps during the day and goes to work at night. There is no entertainment and life. When he goes to the dance hall, he can only make wood. I don’t know how to engage in interpersonal relationships. I don’t even know how to talk when I meet a blonde beauty. I iron my shirt and polish my shoes. Others watch a movie and he only watches her. Ask her to put on the table before coming home. Bottle flower, the dating process is complete, and I can’t touch half of my hair. I always bear my temper, but when I hear a colleague’s "You got dumped?", I immediately picked up something to beat someone, and people were planted into jail. I was stunned but didn't tell her to come out.
why? Is it just because of emotional fluctuations in the dull and boring days?
The male protagonist has always emphasized that work is temporary, residence is temporary, everything is temporary, and he will always break away from the existing life. At the beginning, he hoped to open a security company named after himself, trying to find a sense of existence in the existing and larger circles, but he had to pay to listen to people read the legal provisions and the technical secondary school diploma if he was not well-educated. The loan to the bank was also ruthlessly rejected. And now that turning point has appeared. Falling in love with a beautiful woman is the first step to change. When he opens his mouth, "So are we getting married now?" This is not like love, but like a kind of self-help. The drowning person hurriedly caught A straw. I even suspect that the only smile on the male protagonist in the prison, in addition to gaining self-esteem from the relative equality of prisoners without classes, is also a triumphant self-deprecation. To paraphrase Visconti's words in "White Nights" by Marcelo, now he can also say that he was once happy. A little person who doesn’t care about being caught in a beauty trick, was tempted to be stunned. In the end, there is no money and money. It’s a willingness to commit the crime if she always keeps her. Now she got what she wanted, and he can do it too. Said I had a thrilling experience. After all, even if you have no money or status, don't you even have the qualifications to live a bit more vigorously?
Speaking of strong, red often appears in the film. The blonde girl sees him often wearing a red inner jacket in a blue denim jacket. When he comes out of prison, the proprietress wears a red jacket when she comes to the shelter. The male protagonist is even worse, with red clothes, red cars, red flowers, red curtains, and red background walls. Aki is a director who can tell stories with colors.
But here is not just the cold night in spring, there are no days that are not cold throughout the year. The so-called twilight is actually just the light in the refrigerator.
Casting is also quite interesting. A short man, one head lower than most of the men around him, and a woman who always looks down at him when she puts on high heels, is destined not to be a very lethal security guard. The dog abuser easily punched him with a nosebleed, and the deceptive beauty could stun him with medicine and send him to prison. Colleagues don't wait to see the boss, but they also dislike it. When others drink too much, they join forces with the writer to tease the writer. He drank too much and went to the boss of the sausage shop to brag about it. When he was fired, all his colleagues looked at him with playful expressions, except for a man who was also very short and lowered his head. I feel the malice of the world towards the dwarf qaq
The whole film was very tiring to watch, and I couldn't believe it lasted less than 80 minutes. All the characters do not intend to talk to people too much, even if they always stare at the camera with their eyes motionless, the city is too clean and the space is too clean, as if all the extra decorations have been blown away by the wind near the port, even the disco The dance halls are surprisingly calm, making people suspect that there are regulations prohibiting loud noises in public places except for performance personnel. However, the director also likes to add bright colors to the cool composition, let the jukebox play loud music everywhere with the characters, and stage a series of stimulating dramas such as fraud, robbery, imprisonment, street fighting, etc. in a cold style. Color, sound, space, etc., everything can be used for narration, but I don't want to talk to people too much. Well, this is probably a movie that doesn't want to talk to people. It wants to tell a story, but it's not going to please you.
The blonde woman said to the host in the car that you can see that you have a rock and roll factor. Nordic people, it's no wonder that you are swaying because you don't want to make people happy.
