In fact, I really enjoyed watching this movie.
Rhythm. The rhythm of this film is surprisingly slow, each empty mirror can last for more than 5s, and usually a few static empty mirrors are given, and then the camera is switched to the protagonist. But not boring. The protagonist himself has a long and meaningful rhythm: curly and disheveled medium-length hair, hairy and fluffy skin, brown grass-like moustache, plus the two people's fingertips, which makes the picture sexy. A hazy cigarette. The whole rhythm is really irregular, spiraling upwards, turning back and forth from time to time, and the stagnant smoke is very slow and very flavorful.
Quiet. There is almost no soundtrack in the film, but the background sound of a large piece of music: the inaudible trifles of the neighbors, the little noise of the wind blowing through the grass, the breathing of two people, the dialogue of swallowing saliva can be clearly heard. Coupled with the slow-paced empty mirror, the whole film has a strong literary atmosphere.
Leave blank. Thanks to the director for not adding a commentary like "The Love of a Beautiful Boy", disrupting the audience's immersive atmosphere and underestimating the audience's IQ. In fact, in a romance film like this, there is no complicated plot like "Inception", nor does it deliberately disrupt the narrative sequence. It can be said that there is nothing complicated, thanks to the director's trust in the audience. The camera focuses on the protagonist lying on the railing for a long time, without saying a word, sometimes with a tangled face, sometimes with a brow stretched in the middle shot, with the quiet background where you can hear insects, silently explain to us the protagonist at this moment. All kinds of mood. At the beginning of the film, when the protagonist throws out the plan b, he does not tell the audience directly, but takes the reaction of the other side of the dialogue in one stroke. Echoing the ending, the second man who saw the truth didn't say a word, just used a long shot to explain his confusion when thinking, as well as his crying helpless expression when he thought of the man's intentions, laughing and laughing at himself. facial expressions, complex psychological activities of crying and laughing. This film trusts the language of the camera very much, and shows great trust in the body and facial expressions of the two protagonists.
ambiguous. The cigarettes exchanged inadvertently when the two took pictures; when compared, the two bodies in underwear, ambiguously approaching, revealing amazing harmony and beauty; when the first man made an excuse to kiss the second man, he first took out the chewing gum from his mouth , The second male did not know where to look, and finally took it out slowly, and after a brief contact between the two, the two put the chewing gum back in their mouths at a loss. The short-term contact between the two was not intense. Neither of the two straight men broke out first. They approached and hesitated with restraint, and stopped abruptly at just the right time, and the ambiguity was just right.
When I watched it, I felt more than once that the style of this dark green and khaki film is very familiar, the sexy and pure love of mutual attraction, the moustache-like accent, the creativity of the first male, the restraint of the second male, It all coincides with a movie in my heart.
Brother and Tony Leung are in a good mood.
I remember Leung Chiu-wai walking on the streets of Argentina where the light of day was coming to an end. The director used a lens that included his love and appreciation for Argentina's unique cultural character. The end of the world to which Li Yaohui fled, and the people at the end of the world.
This film is like a sudden turn of the camera, focusing on a random Argentine on the street, and then using a very long length and the same rhythm of the lens to tell another ordinary story that happened in Argentina.
The film is very simple, I like it very much.
