More than a movie that you can only watch once

I am very afraid to comment on such a movie. On the one hand, I am afraid that too many plots will be revealed and many people passing by will not be interested in watching this movie. On the other hand, it is a movie of David Lynch's daughter. Qi's films are not something that ordinary people can comment on. Even if you watch them countless times, they still have a shaky lens language, a black template, and a B-biased style. The first half of the movie obviously confuses our thinking, let's look at the whole story from a justice perspective, obviously, when the ending is reversed, we just fell into the director's trap, and the plot at the end can't be said to be jaw-dropping , is also enough to make people applaud. At this time, there must be a kind of power to make you watch it a second time, or even more. The second time, our thinking can keep up with the intention of the camera, and we can carefully figure out the previous foreshadowing. As the director's second work, although compared with the first "Beauty in a Box", it has less protracted plots, but it portrays human nature more sharply. Not all police officers are good people. The tone of the film is basically dominated by dark tones. Don't ignore the prominent colors. One point is that a little girl's lips are painted bright red, which is more gorgeous than that of all the women in the film. One point is blue, a car. A blue car, a woman in a blue coat, obviously, the blue tone is not the main line, because they are all out early. There is also the color of the walls in the police station, a stag and a doe are on the left half of the door, and above the movable door is a gorgeous bird flying very low, just like the girl, striking. Just imagine that the stag and the doe are the apotheosis of murderers, and that gorgeous bird is nothing more than the little girl they admire. The many empty scenes in the film almost imply that this is a road movie, with real bloody violence, and some perverted murderous stunts. The most classic is the reversal of the plot, which is really enjoyable. Movie. The little girl in the film is nothing more than the highlight of the film. From the perspective of a child, she sees the world so clearly. Whether it is the trouble of the police or the surveillance of the monitor, perhaps, she is also a model of another kind of character. The extremes of perverted and marginalized people do not have the catharsis of ordinary people's emotions. After losing their mother and relatives, they are still as calm as ever. In the face of murderous mania, they are also so free. Just one sentence: I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. It's enough to make the murderer feel sympathetic to each other. The heroine of the film is even more caring for the little girl. What happened to the little girl is the shadow of her childhood. This is a terrible prophecy. What about when the little girl grows up? The plot of the movie itself is not conventional, and the rhythm is very slow. Watching this movie is almost like making a game. As a low-cost movie, there is no artificiality of those commercial movies, nor the procrastination of ordinary movies. Give it to it One hour and thirty-eight minutes, it will give you an unexpected surprise!

    There is no surprise in the ending, but this kind of calm narrative is very charming, but I always feel that something is wrong~

    After watching it for more than half an hour, I suddenly remembered that the director's surname was "Lynch". It was indeed David's daughter. It was much better than her debut film, and it had more of a David flavor. The rhythm needs to be strengthened.
