The ending is quite a failure, but the intention is desirable

Write your own feelings without reading reviews. The most intuitive feeling is that the plot was written very plainly, and it was omitted without further discussion in the place where it should be dig deep. But if you play Samsung and feel that the result of this proposition and performance should not only be Samsung, then it should be Samsung and a half. The plot is flawed, and the shots are not very good. I prefer a quiet perspective of viewing artworks. The sound bonus points are more, about 8/10 points. It's a pity that this proposition is very good, but it expresses much more through the lines than through the actors' movements and camera movements. The relationship between the artist, Soraya, girlfriend, mother and the artwork (this person) itself, after watching the movie, the characters are still vague. Except for the male protagonist, everyone else seems to be arranged when they need it, and they don't exist when they don't need it. Even so, the image of the male protagonist is still vague, and the only obvious thing is that he is indeed naive. In the end, my favorite idea in this film is that he has a life that "makes others jealous", but in the eyes of everyone looking at dead commodities, he exists as a living person, thinking about the dignity of his own existence Where. The film finally achieves his freedom through an inferior method, which is very uncomfortable in my opinion. The artist's "father's love" for him is in conflict with his interests. If an artist with black nails and black eyeliner who has only appeared a few times can't tell whether he is more emotional or rational, then let him go. , no more money... well, maybe he just became a dad. The relationship between Soraya and the artwork is also very vague, and it’s not clear whether it’s a human or a ghost, but if Soraya’s line is not important, it’s okay, a Bellucci star is in front of you, you can also work hard Ignore her place in this film. Girlfriend and mother call it naive for entrusting artworks. You say that he attaches great importance to feelings, except that he is messing around over there, thinking about his girlfriend with red eyes, and you can't see where he attaches importance to feelings. In the film, it is mentioned that he sent money to his family, and he cried and apologized when he learned that his mother had lost both legs. Then what? Then there was no mention of my mother. This is simply npc usage. There are too many fragmented and unfocused clips like a running account, which cannot be linked to a complete character. Either the clips do not have a main line, or they should be selected and selected to be really useful. In the end, there was another black wave of Islamic State. If the film can continue to say something here, mocking the Western media for adding fuel to the "video" content without verifying the authenticity, the ending will be more exciting. However, considering that in the previous film, the Syrian government was mostly criticized, and the local political system was mostly negative. Maybe the author of the film did not want to defend anyone. But this video is too sloppy Now, Soraya shed a few tears, and finally it was revealed that it was the artist's "conspiracy", this is running out? Hello, are you kidding yourself or the audience? The male protagonist's escape at the beginning, to the final return, seems to be a "reconciliation" with his homeland, but in fact nothing is resolved. What, do you have dignity when you return to your homeland, and you are yourself again after laser removal of the tattoo on the back? Nothing.

The Man Who Sold His Skin quotes

  • Sam Ali: Don't take it badly, ok? fuck you.

  • Jeffrey Godefroi: Some pessimists rule that art is dead. Well, I think art has never been more alive than it is today. With my latest work I am exploring a new realm... we live in a very dark era where if you are Syrian, Afghan, Palestinian and so on, you are persona non grata, hmm? The walls rise. And I just made Sam a commodity, a canvas. So now he can travel around the world. Because in the times we are living, the circulation of commodities is much freer than the circulation of a human being. Thus by transforming him into some kind of merchandise, he now will be able, according to the codes of our time, to recover his humanity and his freedom. Now, that's quite a paradox, isn't it?

    Jeffrey Godefroi: Sorry, it's not funny.
