Warm cure

I first watched the 2014 recommended film "Before I disappear" (Before I disappear), and unexploredly pulled out the 2012 short film "Curfew" (Curfew) and revisited it. The same director, the same cast of the same class, "Before I Disappear" is just a stretched version. It uses more of the illusions and reality before Loser Richie decides to commit suicide to regain love and hope to complete self-salvation. The soundtrack of the whole film has no hesitation in his own taste, especially the dance in the bowling alley that the beautiful girl Xuebamei has appeared in both films, which not only shows the sense of isolation between Richie and others, but also Also Meng turned the world. Although many people say that the movie version is not as good as the short film, I personally think that the 98-minute film director's shaping of R is still perfect. This big man who was buried by a lot of dark tones and could only seek suicide to liberate himself, has been vulnerable and sensitive since he was a child until he has been dependent on affection (family), but it is a pity that he has lost his lover as an adult and lives in the trough of life and the bottom of life. What can I do to save myself? Apart from the hallucinations caused by drugs, there is only death. As a result, the unexpected call for help and Sophia, the niece who accidentally broke into her gloomy life, are like a piece of sunshine, allowing R to find a new life. It was just a night to get along, and the night scene switched gradually, until R was blasted out of the building by the security guard. He suddenly realized that he was still worried about in this world, and that being needed would also be the reason for his survival. There is an imperceptible smile on the corner of R's mouth. If you try to taste this film with enough care, you will see it. When R was running on the street at night, the narration sounded from the letter he wrote to V saying that he wanted to see the sunrise for the first time. The rhythm is like that in "Summer of Kikujirou", the madness that Kikujiro robbed a boy of a little angel pendant was originally delicate, just like the moment when the male protagonist wakes up and sees the female protagonist in "The Wrist Slasher Paradise" Smiling at him on the ambulance next to him turned out to be true. Rebirth can really move people. The light and shadow of the movie are in the fluctuations of folk songs, heavy metal, blues, and jazz. Rather than accepting this role as a matter of course, it is better to say that you can only fall in love with a character and a story after understanding to understanding. The short film is reverie, and the movie completes it. There is always something about healing, even if it is to resist the wind and cold, it is a kind of warmth in this winter.
