Just talk nonsense. I checked this is the director and screenwriter Michael Sarnowski's first feature-length film. I think it's very powerful. It's very neat and delicate. All the plots and lines are echoed before and after. The details of the props and actions are also described with the utmost care and attention to detail.
For example, in the early morning the next day when the pig was plundered, the wind-swept door kept slapping on the pan that the pig had eaten; the partner began to dislike it so much that he had to spread the cloth on the co-pilot, but later he helped the male protagonist to lie down in his apartment On an expensive leather sofa; the protagonist does not know how to use his voice when he speaks in public for the first time, and the audience immediately knows that this person may not have spoken to anyone in years; the strong and even irritable father is forced to use his vulnerable side to talk to the male protagonist. When confronted, he would turn his face slightly when his son came in, etc.
Plus, the photography and soundtrack are fresh. I found that the trick to watching this kind of "artistic" film is to let go of all rational thinking and only use sensibility to approach the characters, so that when the occasional "sour" comes up, there will be no drama, and you will feel: that's how it is. of.
I think the core of the whole story is to tell: people still have to face their loneliness and vulnerability, at least the three important characters with names in the movie have to accept this. When the male protagonist played by Cage learned that Xiaozhu died: "If I don't come to her, in my mind, she is still alive", he understood that he could not escape from the death of his wife, Perhaps then his seclusion will no longer be self-imposed exile, but a true hermit. Self-imposed exile is a bit of a "Nowhere to Be" feel, but the latter is more sparse.
What I personally like about this movie is that it basically doesn't reveal the life experience and heart of the protagonist. You know that the whole movie shows only the tip of the iceberg of the character, and it doesn't completely dissect this person. This is the director's artistic creation choice. Although it will not be shockingly profound, it is also valuable to maintain restraint, and this kind of blank is also good.
