Loneliness is the last infectious disease left by mankind in the 21st century

I'm thinking about two questions

1. Does the ghost exist?

2. Are humans afraid of being alone?

【Room】

Four stacks and a half is the last pure land of this era, even if it turns the otaku into a ghost. Chunjiang, who was watching the surveillance video, confronted the audience watching the movie. She embraced a void, but claimed that she was no longer lonely, just like you and me watching the movie.

A person prints out the A4 paper of the confined space and sticks it with red tape. This sense of ritual symbolizes that the living room has become an alienated space, which is dark and airtight, eternal death or quickly swallowed Tokyo like the plague , who would have thought that the beginning of the end times is in the room/monitoring?

【connect】

Everyone wants to save the other, just like Ryosuke took Chunjiang to escape late at night, Michi watched friends turn to ashes, and people are always building connections, but in Kurosawa Kiyoshi's eyes, it doesn't mean anything or change anything, he can What you do is always miss and witness, witness the death of others, and become others.

The occlusion of curtains and windows suggests that they are in different spaces from each other, the "help" phone is the doorbell of death, and the shadow is similar to the concept of mourning.

In general, I like it. There is no genre film element. The modernity of 2001 still exists today, and the two questions I asked at the beginning have no answers.

    I like the scheduling and art very much (he likes to shoot the back of the head, the audience sees ghosts before the characters, a lot of window frames, doors, fluttering curtains, various separation spaces), it seems that every time there is a huge concept, but the expansion And the ending is a little bit frustrating. This film should have the influence of "Midnight Bell", the film texture is very suitable for this story

    If there is no death, the end of life is only loneliness, how terrible and terrifying the loneliness in loneliness! The mind or soul is actually always connected, but in a certain dimension, we don't know...
