Elegy of Dreams

Requiem, an elegy for poor dreams. Goodness can only last for a short time, because it is a dream. This dream will pass away in a flash, because it is just the effect of dependence on drugs. I don't know the exact feeling of drug use. It seems that it can give a strong stimulus to the body and mind, and the pleasure experienced by it may be extremely unforgettable. People who have dreamed sweet dreams will have this experience. After waking up, they are slowly knocked down by the cruel reality, lamenting that dreams are just dreams and nothing more.

The editing of the film is very powerful, and the soundtrack is also good. The mad hysterical character in the heaven and earth where the drug is smashed is very special. The use of the lens is also worth seeing. What impressed me deeply is the lens that has been stuck in front of him after Marie opened it up.

I think there are two sets of pictures that are very beautiful. Harry and his friends push the TV through the streets and alleys. The gray summer day looks like beautiful old photos. In the other group, Harry fantasizes about meeting Marie at the beach in summer, which is very beautiful. It could only be a dream, and finally Harry licked his feet and broke his bones.

The story is divided into three sections, summer, autumn, and winter. Everything is beautiful in summer, crises in autumn, and all in winter.

What is the love between Harry and Marie? Is it just because Harry is trafficking in drugs, and is Mary taking drugs? I was thinking later. Harry and Marie went high after taking the medicine. Harry said to Marie, you are the most beautiful woman in the world, and you are the lover of my dreams. How beautiful, but is it just an illusion, just a dream? Finally, Mari asked Harry if he could come back tonight. Harry sighed, crying and said, I will be back, I will be back tonight, you wait for me, okay. Harry said, I'm sorry; Mary answered, I see. When it's over, Marie's last hope is shattered. They are done.


In the end, everyone lie on their sides, curled up, dreaming, alone. The dream is beautiful.

Reading this will remind you of "Guessing the Train", of course they have different styles. "Training" has a passion in it, and this piece is like Harry's tumor-bearing hand, full of decadence.
