The first time I saw an old film screening, it is said that it will probably be the last film screening of the Beijing Film Festival, which is very ceremonial. The signs of film wear are quite obvious. The "old film special effects filter" is honestly not deceived~ Thinking of the traces left by every screening of the film, the blotchy time imprints, it feels like reading books always prefer paper books. , Want to retain this sense of texture and ritual. Watch this after watching the full experience of "Social Network", which is relatively plain. Just make a record of the scene that was still flashing back after waking up: The soundtrack was very hard. At the beginning of the mountain, he found his wife cheating, and every night he talked to Eel, the soundtrack changed suddenly and stopped abruptly;
During the day, the mountains are mostly calm and forbearing, and at night, facing their eels and "that letter", they become neurotic;
When he stabbed his wife with a knife, he was fierce and decisive, but he was terrified when he faced the steel-spurred eel;
Guizi gave him lunch at Qiaotou twice, but he ignored it. All Guizi's gestures approached and he pushed away. But at Guizi's most cramped moment, he helped her recognize that "this child is mine." The man who stabbed several times because of his wife's derailment accepted that it was not his child and went to jail again for this.
Why did you choose the eel for the thing you raised? Why is the movie called this name? If you want to subtitle the choice at the end of the mountain, the story of eel spawning is necessary. The lonely and mysterious existence of this animal is also mentioned in "Travel of the Eel". But I always inevitably fit into my professional discourse system, thinking that according to the psychoanalysis of the old man, the eel is a very typical symbol of sex, which is also the driving force of Yamashita throughout. But compared with the primitive instinct of animal nature, the effect of this dynamic on the mountain is obviously more complicated.
Everyone in the whole film seems a little weird, and then they make up a pretty warm story.
