Today I watched "The Lighthouse" directed by Robert Eggers. Because of the rejection of horror movies, I hesitated for a long time before watching it. In the end, everyone could not stand it, so I took a risk and watched it.
This movie is more gothic than scary. Of course, how to interpret "Gothic" is a matter of opinion. All morning, the fog lingered outside the window. Considering that the new coronavirus is still flashing in the white haze, my heart is very blocked. People's freedom is violated one by one "little things". In the end, the picture is poor and the dagger sees, and his life is gone.
Read some movie reviews. There are a lot of dry goods, and the writing is a bit hard. After watching a neurotic movie, and then concocting a serious article with various element symbols, it is difficult to say whether such an author is mentally normal. To take a step back, to interpret the myths and legends of wills from hundreds of thousands of years ago with today's way of thinking is basically the process of creating another story. It doesn't matter whether you use the ancients to describe the present, or refer to the deer as the horse, it all depends on what the people in the audience think. Some of them hold movie tickets, some hold ballots.
The earliest seems to be Godard of France, maybe Li Yinhe of China, who expressed this meaning - "This movie is good" is a film review. Also, a movie from 50 years ago, moved out now, might capture completely different information. In this regard, a typical case is the evaluation of Antonioni's "China", which is like a schizophrenic.
Based on the above two reasons, I think that there may be no such thing as "film review" in the world, but only "feeling after reading". Therefore, any review is inaccurate. Even if it comes from the director's mouth. Then again, who cares if the reviews are accurate? The viewing experience is what matters. After watching a movie, we have to eat, sleep, and grow old.
Complain, not just need.
