The sophomore acm course stipulates, otherwise I don't think I will encounter this movie in my life haha. The three points is mainly because it is not my narrative style. I prefer the director to let the characters directly give out what they want to express through the lines and pictures, let me realize it, I will collapse hahaha. It was a question mark when I watched it. I felt that the plot was not impactful enough but it got lost, but after reading the film reviews and listening to the teacher's analysis of the two sections, I still tasted something "umh". During the magnificent Spanish colonial period, it was very interesting to put his foothold on a sheriff sent from abroad. His identity was like a banana man. A small official was enough to make him proud of himself in the colony, but in fact he was not on either side. belong. Like everyone in and out of the movie, Zama is surrounded by history, dealing with trivial matters every day, time seems stagnant, and slowly realizes that it is sand, and the movie is the process by which he recognizes identity. The class was entered from the perspective of the indigenous people. At first glance, I completely ignored it. In fact, it is very worthy of discussion. I saw the contaminated but resisting that the director wanted to express. The original order of the world, the attitude is that you are not rare in European stuff. In a dual-track movie, I hope that I will have more perspectives in the future so that I can see different stories in different characters. The soundtrack used the sound of Hawaiian piano, thinking of the White Lotus Resort, quiet, mysterious and weird, it is the South American continent in my "stereotype". There's a life world, do you wanna be in it?

    I want to watch it again after watching it. The introduction of the title has already explained the whole plot of the whole film "water forces the fish to leave the water". The film blurs out the details of time and space, and the incident also removes the bizarreness of the beginning and the end. The viewing process is to soak in this boundless water with Zama. The tour guide said that Zama was like the Kinski in Herzog's films. It's all paranoid and endless expeditions.

    [B-] The limited field of view of a large number of medium shots and scene frames makes the image atmosphere more and more cramped, and the delicate ambient sound effects not only increase the sense of substitution, but also virtually set up a regional cage for the audience. The dull tone in the first half is washed away by the bright tropical scene in the second half, forming a magical conflict with the fate of the characters within the play. In the end, Zama's situation is undoubtedly hopeless, but the picture is not like this: next to the mutilated body, there are duckweeds drifting slowly, and the dissolution of nothingness is completed in gentleness. The last shot, as if he was not exiled, but naturalized. PS: Finally, of course, I would like to thank Annie for proofreading and correcting the Chinese subtitle retranslation of the film.
