RIP in
general, this movie is similar to "Arizona Dream", a movie that recalls the memory of life in the old industrial age of steam trains.
The scene where the husband meets his wife makes me think of "Mulholland Drive". His suicide seems to usher in the end of the era in the 1980s. His situation and sensitivity are only a harbinger. The footage of the boss behind the scenes in the video also reminds me of the voiceover at the end of "Mulholland Drive" that reminds me of "The Law of Desire". Sex is the director's film and the director's irony. Sex is a metaphor for life. Reminds me of "The Last Movie", yes, in the eyes of the director, there is only one movie in life, which is itself, our last movie. The quarrel between the hero and his mother reminds me of the quarrel between the hero of "Speed Racer" and his father: "This is my life!". The plot of the protagonist being dragged out of the car and beaten up makes me think of the tragic fate of "The Cruel Story of Youth", as well as the dark forces that descended from the sky at the end of "Thirteen Palms". The reconciliation at the end of the credits and the restart of my career reminded me of American Beauty. Todd, who led the robbery, reminded me of Trainspotting, and as a remnant of the 70s, people were so depressed he almost cried when he rushed into the last room. May he be the last martyr of old times and our sorrows. The swearing at the dick scene reminds me of "War in Heaven", and Li Ao's pitiful joke of the 80-year-old who forgets his zipper and urinates, the pity of life is all there.
That porn director with cinematic ideals reminds me of Wu Zongxian, who is actually quite mature and cute because they are just some kind, aspiring ordinary people. Importantly, they are not vulgar. It's a pity that he had to be reduced to a "start-to-finish" pornographic video production chain.
I have seen Julianne Moore's "Boogie Nights", "Magnolia", "Pan Ya at 42nd Street", "The Labyrinth of Desire", "All the Time" and "Murdering Green Toes", and I have no immunity to her. And Nicole Kidman (Margot at the Wedding, Eyes Wide Shut)
From a sociological point of view, I can view the nostalgia of Sora Aoi and Fengjiomatsu by domestic youth from a respectful (rather than critical) perspective.
The feeling of being replaced: When the hero left, what brought the friends back together at the end was the glory of the past. In that era, they did the best thing together, which made up for the time to a certain extent. Their dissatisfaction in their emotional lives has left a glorious imprint on their lives, so they will remember that there was an irreplaceable imprint in their lives: we had reached an orgasm at the same time. Use happiness to crowd out the sadness of life.
The scene in which the actor and the director quarreled and broke up was mostly like a quarrel and break up between a pair of lovers, thinking that it was love at first sight when they first met. That quarrel was really heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching, but without that quarrel, breaking up would be inevitable. The era of videotape has come, and there is no such thing as a banquet in the world. In front of this world, everyone is vulnerable and helpless. Ah
finally, I think of "A Dream of Red Mansions", the movies "The Traveler and the Magician", "A Little Story", "The Last Movie", and the prosperity and indulgence of the 70s (including Hong Kong), as if we didn't do anything, just keep on Success is successful and successful (Chen Guanzhong). When the times turn their heads, some people pretend to be helpless, but I only say to my life and ideals, don't worry, my kind and innocent child, you are right, I will always love you, I will not abandon you, my only.
One cannot enjoy youth and knowledge about youth at the same time, but fortunately, we are still alive.
