The first time that Roy Andersson Roy Andersson The name is in the "on the second floor came the song" (Sånger från Andra våningen 2000), the movie King home minimalist, puts on a series of religious, economic, generations relationships, family Complex topics such as love, love, etc., are mixed into groups through unique audio-visual language, presenting a strange and absurd distortion, refreshing people at the same time rendering endless emptiness and sadness.
In "Swedish Love Story" (En kärlekshistoria 1970), the ignorance and restlessness of youth, the joy and childishness of boys and girls, are all wrapped into a ridiculous, unrelenting adult world. Like other adolescents, Pal, a 15-year-old boy, has a dilapidated locomotive of his own. He does nothing every day, with a cigarette butt in his mouth, and haunts the game halls and the corners of the town like "Xiao Wu". It releases hormones that are nowhere to be placed. When I saw them, I saw my vivid youth, and I had to use the microphone beside me to get to know my beloved girl, and even pretending not to see the little deer in his heart. After breaking the ice, you and I stuck together every day, stubbornly unwilling to separate, and couldn't let go of dignity even after being beaten by a senior classmate, but in the end they wiped away their self-esteem and abandoned the car and hugged Annie Jia on the empty playground.
If Pal and Anika’s youth are gorgeous and sentimental, then in this quiet and sweet Nordic summer, the enchanting natural scenery cannot conceal the frustration and helplessness of the surrounding adult world. The theme of the movie is clues to a fragile and innocent love story, whispering to restore a group of vivid characters through daily boring and boring life fragments. The most impressive thing is Annie's father.
As a failed refrigerator salesman, he could not let go of his noble posture. Instead, he wanted to conceal the humbleness inside. He had to vent the sadness of middle-aged life through some roars and neurotic words. At a country party, cold jokes that made the atmosphere embarrassing, swearing and smashed beer a few miles away, the old leftover girl who was too tall to be a stewardess, the lingering loneliness and loneliness, and Annie Jia washed her face in tears His mother, every middle-aged person who was blindly moving forward, became insensitive, including Pal's grandfather in the nursing home.
Generally speaking, in areas with high welfare, pleasant climatic environment, leisurely life and sparsely populated areas like Northern Europe, it is an excellent place for self-cultivation. People do not have to carry a busy figure all day long, nor do they need to be submerged in urban forests most of the time. They are all relatively indifferent and leisurely lifestyles. But just as the last party of people rushed into the misty forest, shouting hoarsely to find something lost, as if the emptiness of people's hearts at that moment and this land of loneliness, it will bring people's lives. The spirit is placed in a vacuum, and there is no place to live.
Perhaps from beginning to end, the most poetic and carefree one was the little boy who tickled others with the insect-bitten leaves. I hope he will not fall into such a cycle when he grows up.
