Video Analysis
A film that is getting better and better, the rhythm of the film is slow, the director uses the memory and reality to go hand in hand, tells the story with a very delicate method, and accumulates emotions along with it. During the viewing process, we will be worried, sad, angry, until relieved. .
On a technical level, there is a long shot that makes a deep impression. When chasing a murderer on the football field, one shot to the end in 5 minutes is very shocking.
The key word that runs through the end of the film is "passion" . The director tells us through the character's mouth, "A person can change anything, appearance, residence, family, girlfriend, religion, God, but there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is passion." , but what brings people passion is different for everyone. For example, some people have a hobby, some people have a certain behavioral habit, and some people are because of a certain person.
Although the "passion" of the launch point is different, but it gives the feeling that brings about the same, we can trigger the most direct and a return to the kind of emotion, and for this reason can ignore everything, at all costs, if people If there is no passion in our life, then life will be meaningless , that is, why do we live?
Taking the characters in the film as an example, Ricardo's "passion" obviously came from his new wife Liliana. When he learned that his wife was raped and killed, his life "stopped", I think his wife is in his heart never left. Pablo's "passion" comes from friends, so he can block Benjamin's gun in return for taking care of himself for a long time. After all, in his heart, his life has long been separated from the wife who does not let him go home.
Benjamin's "passion" is the focus of this film. On the surface, he has been unable to let go of Liliana's case, and the film also begins with his memoir about this case, but his real "passion" comes from his boss Erin, and their emotional entanglement is what Benjamin really wants to show throughout his memoir. At the beginning of the film, Benjamin found Irene and told him that his novel didn't know how to start. Irene said, "You should start from the place where you recall the most times." The next scene is the scene where Benjamin meets Irene for the first time. It can be seen that Irene is the real "passion" in his heart.
However, due to various reasons, Benjamin never had the courage to confess to Irene. He was afraid of being rejected, and even more afraid that he would not be worthy of Irene who was better than himself in every aspect. Many people are like this. After thinking about it, thinking carefully, and using reason to make the most correct choice, but there is often no right or wrong choice, because we never know where the road we gave up will lead, so the film tells We may follow our hearts, muster our courage, and choose the path that does not lose our "passion" so that we will not leave regrets in life.
People can change everything, but "passion" cannot. In other words, a life without "passion" is meaningless.
