The dream of a lonely
Dock 2022-01-19 08:02:12
Today I watched the movie with the director of the film in the archive. Under her lens, the desolate and barren African land was full of mysterious and dangerous power and beauty. The white sandy beaches covered by salt crystals and the sea like sapphires, soldiers naked in the scorching sun swing their arms like a ritual, swim with knives on the seabed, the pictures of the staggered bodies are unforgettable. The whole movie is filled with religious music and secret emotional monologues. The last solo dance, the male protagonist's gloomy and mad look and posture, shook my heart strongly, like a ball of flame, the less it became, the more intense it was, and finally it slammed out. Claire said that everyone can understand this story as a person's dream. She loves the actor very much. She originally set him to drink a bomb and die at the end, but in the end she was reluctant to dance and let him dance to exhaustion like death.

I don’t understand too much, the French literal translation is "excellent work", right? In fact, it is very absurd. What is the use of training in this deserted place? The casualties came from inexplicable accidents; the sense of sacred rituals, but in fact there is only cold discipline in the army, the whole body of the pantyhose is army green, and the chief will still fold the quilts neatly after he leaves the team. at MoCA

God made! ! Dancing is an extension of training, and the training movements in the movie have a dance-like attitude. Hand-held brings emotional tension to the picture
