This is the introduction of the plot on the Internet, the avant-garde experimental film, maybe it is so charming. Let everyone keep their own plot in their hearts, and the jumps of light and dark light make people enter a dreamlike scene. We stood and wandered in it, feeling dazed by those shots, and after being quiet, we felt pain. A man who used to abuse his wife is no longer young and has gray hair. Looking at his wife lying in a trance in the ward separated by iron bars. The woman is sometimes silent, and sometimes writhes on the ground in pain. In the picture, the woman who suddenly flashes alone dancing, wearing a tattered black dress, the pale face is full of dark eyes staring, so sad and beautiful. It was an inexorable hallucination, because it had penetrated deep into a woman's bones. The aging husband tries to take care of his wife in his own way, so that he can be redeemed and forgiven. The approach of his daughter's marriage made a longing in his heart. Yes, he was going to rescue his wife. Suddenly everything changed, and the patients who were usually so quiet around them seemed to explode in an instant. Women, men, fight each other in such a small and enclosed space. Even after the doctor took back the ward key he stole, he was so embarrassed that he violently attacked the doctor. It's a completely crazy world.
He and his wife hid in a secret place, pulling her to run out, but her wife had an instinct to resist him because of past fears. The camera keeps spinning around the man, and the blinding lights make the man's face appear distorted and morbid. Fragments of the past are constantly interspersed, and there is no definite direction, but it makes people imaginative. The daughter is in a beautiful dress, sitting in the car with her future husband. At this time, the man kept beating his mad wife, as if he had exhausted all his strength, just wanting to let his wife die. The daughter watched in horror, and then, under the indifferent urging of her husband, hurried into the car and disappeared into the darkness. The car passed by the couple, and the madness with the breath of death continued.
Perhaps it is the hope that his daughter can get rid of such a dark past and have a good life again, so the thought of longing for his wife's death will burst in such a rapid and unstoppable gesture, flooding his brain and causing him to lose control. However, it also makes people have to recall the violence of men in the past, or, all of this is just an excuse. The madness of his wife revives the softness in his heart, so remorse seems to have a divine aura. And the violence that suddenly reappeared once again stirred up the madness and darkness in his heart. What I saw was the thrill and the sinking of men attacking doctors.
The last shot of the film surprised me. The man replied peacefully at the beginning of the video, smiling to everyone around him. Looking up, doctors and nurses are leading patients in the corridor. Those grim-faced mentally ill patients who had just appeared in the hallucinations were so shy and restrained at the moment. Then, the movie ends. Beside me, I fell into silent silence again.
Looking at the introduction I found, I felt confused. It is incredible that our feelings are so different. The openness of the lens images often amazes me, and I am more and more addicted to it. Everything in the movie, using the window without direction in the storm, the swaying tree shadows, the eerie picture composition, the quick editing of light and shade, set a background far away from the norm, which really has the charm of German expressionism. . In the end, this uncertainty is brought to the top. We have to wonder, maybe behind every quiet, innocent performance, the madness and darkness are lurking in our hearts?
