In this huge steel forest, in this era, everyone has more or less their own addictions or diseases, and loneliness is often their essential cause.
The movie "Shame" tells us such a story: the hero Brenton is a bright-faced urbanite, with a good job and salary, his own apartment and his own money, and is very charismatic, he looks A winner with a high standard of living. But in fact, his life seems to be boring and boring. He seems to have a regular schedule every day. He doesn't have many friends, and more often he goes to the bar with his colleagues and bosses. His apartment has no decoration and looks very "cold". There are too many people who are really close. The only person he is close to is his sister, which is more like a burden to him. In this somewhat dull and monotonous life, he has some unique hobbies and indulgences of his own. His promiscuity, masturbation, indulging his desires in online magazine videos, like hooking up and one-night stands are his way of fighting back against life. He is always able to show his strength in front of strangers, but when he is willing to enjoy love with close people, he can't be hard. He has no ability to love and be loved, he has locked himself up, he is an empty wandering spirit inside, he is obviously a lonely individual in this metropolis.
I believe that many people's most intuitive feeling about this movie is its large scale, which is also the stunt of this movie's publicity. The movie was unceremonious at the beginning. Fa Shaq naturally shuttled around the room at three o’clock, and the scale became more and more free after that, but this is not for the sake of revealing, and the erotic scenes in a good movie are never empty. , often driving the unfolding of the story and revealing the core of emotion. The overall tone of the film is very calm, and the story is told in a leisurely manner. Director McQueen's control of the story and details is in place, with a sophisticated texture, and the superb acting skills of Fa Shark add a lot to the film. The shots of the film are great, and many places are very beautiful and even look very compelling, which complements the tone of the film itself. The use of long shots can be seen everywhere, especially the shot of Brandon leaving the apartment and running on the city road at night after a torment. Under the changes of light and shadow, it has an excellent effect on the overall atmosphere. And the scene where he and his female colleague talked to each other after a date, under the action of the long shot, seemed extraordinarily natural, just like a pair of passers-by in reality. The abrupt ending at the end of the movie is great, will Brandon really be OK, can he really enjoy love? Like many atmospheres in the whole film, the director did not directly point it out, and it was full of ambiguous atmosphere.
In the increasingly indifferent social environment, in the bustling and noisy city, in this steel forest, we are all destined to be alone. Going to and from get off work every day at two o’clock and one line, leaving home and relatives, or having a stable job or running for a living, is also a bit boring. There may be a few opportunities for friends, there may be various colleagues and brief gatherings large and small. But when all these are over, when you return home alone at night in this city of feasting and neon silver flowers, when you get home, everything ends, you sit alone in front of the window, looking at the loneliness outside the window, you realize that you have always been a Man, an empty and lonely individual.
Therefore, we need more friends, especially those three or five who are truly friendly, need partners, may also keep pets, and have as many interests as possible to prove the value and meaning of our existence .
And Brandon's choice was more prominent, and over time, he became addicted to sex, which seemed like a shame to him. For most people, sex is supposed to be pleasurable, and we all know that good sex is a pleasure. But for Blanton, sex is just an outlet, a way to show that he exists and not to allow himself to be alone inside.
Having sex without love, being deeply addicted, the constant love and moon is more like venting, the weakness and loneliness after intercourse are the crux. He has no ability to love and be loved, it is an empty body without a soul.
