The reason why this article does not call it appreciation is because the amount of information in the film is too large. With my rather limited level of observation, it is difficult to organize the various elements of the film one by one, and it is impossible to appreciate the film from the perspective of God. rise. The film’s tone, storyboard, music, and plot are all full of weirdness, weirdness, and distortion. I think it’s difficult to accurately classify this movie with certain words. Maybe these grotesque and absurd designs are The creator's externalization of crazy ideas one by one . Including the personal thoughts in the film that are slightly abrupt and small flaws preaching, it is only to meet the needs of his inner expression.
Part of the weird look and feel of the film’s pictures comes from the distorted large and small perspectives. The large and small perspectives that do not conform to the common sense show the distorted heart of the characters. The uncomfortable look and feel is also an important part of rendering the atmosphere. The outlines of the characters in the film are also quite subtle, the thick and hideous lines, the 2D and 3D combination of subtle expressions, and only a chaotic color when the male and female protagonists have sex, the use of various picture styles has been quite rigorously grasped. Secondly, I personally think that the most eye-catching part of the composition of the picture is its unpredictable color. From the time when the character enters the restaurant as an example, when the character first enters the restaurant, the dim yellow color represents the frustrated reality. The underworld group of people After entering the restaurant, the green hue represents the danger of suppressing emotions. After the reckless athletes erupt, the almost nauseating red hue represents the outburst of brutal and uncontrolled animalism. There is another example, when everyone is eager to escape and there is no way, the picture is bleak and cold, but after thinking of a way, the color of the picture gradually becomes warm. These special color treatments, bright or concealed, are all external manifestations of different emotions. At the end of the film, for the first time, the tone of normal processing appeared in the real life environment, which is a reflection of the release of the depressive and distorted psychology of the characters.
The soundtrack of the film is also remarkable. The part of everyone's life on the ship is the grotesque piano music, dynamic electronic music, and the frivolous jazz when the male and female protagonists are in love.
As for the plot of the movie, I really can’t say how I understand it. I can only capture a few details from it.
The theme of the film is not complicated. At first, the male protagonist did not dare to confess to the female protagonist because of his timidity. The female protagonist wanted to be a swimmer but finally couldn’t stop it. The female protagonist’s sister wanted to be a boxer but gave up due to family pressure. The grandpa who fell into the sea was interested in video games but later sold drugs-it can be said that their hearts are distorted by real life. However, after the death of the hero, he was unwilling to do so, and he was determined to bring him back to life. After he was resurrected, he dared to live and live freely and easily, and he infected his fellow travelers--even the grandfather who had been in a whale for 30 years and had already settled down with the status quo. When everyone was rushing to escape from the whale's belly at the climax, there was no extra line, only hysterical shouts and crazy expressions, which was the resurrection of humanity on the verge of death-unwilling to become "them" One of them, and want to create a life that belongs to only oneself. In the initial animation, the clock on the waist of the character turns counterclockwise, time can be reversed, and everything can be restarted. At the end of the film, the old grandfather recalled his past life and couldn't help crying. The clock on his waist also turned counterclockwise. If life could be repeated, would you still be willing to make yourself regret it?
I think the film also intends to convey a message to everyone- no matter how small one's actions are, it is possible to change the trajectory of life. The hostess who used to learn to swim, the hair on her feet increased the tension on her floating on the water, and then helped a lot when she escaped. At the time of death, the puppy necklace hung on her chest saved her life; the grandfather, who loved games and had a still-natured nature, was finally saved by his playmate, the water monster (?) in the lake; the male protagonist Reluctantly drank the milk and helped him during the escape. Perhaps, in life, there is no small move that can be ignored...
At the end of the film, as time goes back, everyone's lives are all over again-childhood life is the same as before, but adult life is very different from before. In the film is inserted the plot of the male protagonist’s fantasy encounter with the cartoonist. The cartoonist said, "Children, there is no need to worry about this and that." I think that maybe the creator of this film also had such a free and worry-free childhood, and his ideas were able to display his ideas wantonly; he may also have such a frustrated reality, and he was so sad for all kinds of pressures in life. . He may also miss the free childhood that quietly passed away, the childhood that was able to be faithful to his original intention. Perhaps, he also expects that he can live for himself fearlessly and bravely like a child.
The tone at the end of the film is no longer as weird as it was before, but restored to the original and most authentic color of the world. I think he is telling us that the world shouldn’t be so weird.
