The first excellent commercial film of 2020. All the elements involved in the film are played very well. From the perspective of the script, the screenwriter has a very insightful understanding of art, at least image art, and has a certain level of artistic conception, which has risen to the level of consciousness, rather than simply pursuing form. With the blank canvas of the artist in his later years, he expresses the intention that only exists in his consciousness. As a creator, I personally think that the best works only exist in my own brain, and there is always something missing from the art with images. The film satirizes capitalism, and at the same time, the lines are extremely ambiguous and rich in layers. If the ending is not too clear, I would guess that the heroine is a fantasy in the hero's mind, a part of his consciousness. He was on drugs, he knew it was bad, he had a high level of artistic appreciation, and he had to submit to the rules of capitalism. In the wooden house, on the one hand, he discussed art with the artist, and on the other hand, because of the transaction, he had to ask the author to destroy the ambiguity of that art. In the end, his own two personalities struggled back and forth, and he succumbed to capital, killing the art critic himself and completely reduced to a fly. The last scene is also very interesting. Through the ambiguous dialogue with the collector, we can know that both of them have realized that the other has killed a person on their side. The collector may be trying to raise the topic, and the actor is trying to silence it. . The painting at the end restrains the ambiguity created earlier. After all, commercial films still have to be understood by the public. The disadvantage is that the characters are too flat, there is no hierarchy, and there is no transformation, which is a big problem, and directly minus one star.
