Looking back on this sentence now, the reference to others is still too big, and there are not many creators who can hold the position in the film in a country like the United States. The mainstream American values are that kind of naive and snobbish, arrogant, adventurous, personal values and fairness. The Puritans had a strong sense of morality. This has created American-style middle-class pragmatism ------- as long as you work hard, tomorrow will be better.
Go to your mother to force tomorrow, and your mother will keep a tomorrow.
The taste and style of this film is more inclined to the alternative music of the 1980s. I believe it has a certain relationship with the core of despair and indifference (CORE). From the collection that was pirated and identified as "New York Underground Pioneer Movie", I can smell a similar smell. When not unexpected. The unsettling inner fear, the illusoryness and blindness of life, the pleasure and excitement that the body can give, the offense and desecration of a certain safety aesthetic. Sewing up the vagina can be said to be a feminist commentary, or a profound experience of dark despair.
Don't care about those labels: CULT, experimental, dark, underground, what you see is what you get, Harmony is undoubtedly a poet, and the daily fragments of the small town he painted with the camera are all elusive and slightly terrifying puberty stings. There are two kinds of "everyday" film stories that can be called allegorical. One is literary fine-tuned, self-evident and directed. The other is eruptive, mumbling, and seemingly out of order; one is like dog tooth, sacred car dealership, no matter what the structure, its details are exquisite, the characters are meticulous, and the theme is clear; the other is like GUMMO, HAPPINESS, BUBBLE, Perverted City (Soderberg), Beast Love, Brown Rabbit, Bison City 66------I guess there are many more that I don't know, rough, primitive, free, wanton, like a song The powerful ballads are somewhat unclear but inexplicable.
Speaking of this film, it can be seen as a long MV full of emotions, the grotesqueness in the depression and the dull and numb sense of humor in the boring dead work---------I like my mother tap dance in front of the mirror so much He pointed a gun at the back of his son's head and shouted at the scene, like a dead ghost father revived -- if you feel it, you don't need to say anything. Harmony's shooting method is likely to be based on feelings and emotions. If not, many of the scenes in that film could be expanded into separate plot lines thematically, such as the hope and fear of love, abuse and excitement, the short-lived physical needs of living in disaster, the emptiness of joy, But the director didn't do that, just stop at the point, and leave the summary to the audience, and the characters only reveal their most instinctive hearts. This so-called harvest from the sky is sometimes accomplished, and it is so natural that there is no trace of carving; sometimes it is not, it is a mess, ambiguous and muddy; Style American attitude, love whoever, that's it. At some point, caution and respect for art can seem ludicrous.
The monologue of a slightly hoarse boy who had not yet passed the voice-changing period, his fear was suppressed, and the ghost was outside the house in the middle of the night, as if he was pretending to be vicissitudes but couldn't hide his childish murmur, and he captured me in an instant.
Everything is boring, life is just a switch. Pale stinky flesh entertained the flies in the sun.
As far as the disaster at the beginning and the close-up of the black cat at the end are concerned, the metaphysical ideological part of the film is still controlled and has a serious creative attitude. The beauty of many sound and picture editing in the film is that you have to wrestle with a chair classically to know the desolate little tune that the rabbit sitting on the toilet and playing the accordion can hum to death.
