When I saw it was the award-winning film of the Film Festival, I clicked on it and looked at it, and found that it was a mixed love-hate movie. First of all, there is a prerequisite for watching this movie: don't entangle the rationality of the plot, whether it is against science, especially how a boy is reproduced in the movie. Because the movie itself is surrealist, the absurdity of some plots is certain. Seeing other mentions of a hundred years of loneliness, these two works do have surreal characteristics in common, but this movie does not have the magic of a hundred years of loneliness. The peculiar style makes the movie more obscure. Let’s start with the shooting method. The silent long lens almost constitutes the entire film. With the addition of dark lighting, monotonous costumes and the deserted color of the picture, the atmosphere of this film is rendered very well, and the sense of entry is good. Some of the cool feelings of Nordic movies. . Looking at the plot again, the film reveals the supremacy of feminism everywhere in the movie. Men are controlled by women as reproductive tools. With the help of nurses, the little boy successfully breaks the imprisonment. It is worth noting that there are two places in the film that show other children's cowardly mocking of Nicholas, one is the burial of sea cucumbers (I don’t know if it is), and the other is a starfish, both of which show the boy’s views on these two plots. The basic elements are sensitive, and he made unexpected moves twice, once digging the sea cucumber belly, and once smashing the starfish, which also implies the boy's resistance to the feminism represented by the starfish and sea cucumber. The little boy's salvation is inseparable from the nurse's help in all aspects. The reason why the nurse helps the boy is the power of love.
At the end of the movie, the nurse returned to the island. Some people understood that the nurse saved the boy, but he could not escape and had to go back. I think it was the nurse who wanted to go back to save the other children. It's too possible. Or the nurse hoped that there would be no trace of the past around the boy, instead of becoming an obstacle to the boy's new life, he chose to leave.
At the end of the movie, the boy's boat was wandering on the vast sea with its lights on, and the sense of loneliness hit instantly, and then the camera was lifted, and the city emerged, and it was immediately at ease. Overall it is a good movie, but some are too obscure and require a lot of brainstorming from the audience.
