The long takes in "Jerry" are really distracting, with a long rhythm to emphasize those hopeless scenes, although some people say that it is a long and painful death process, but it still makes people feel Emotional discomfort. If it weren't for my preference and respect for the director, I'm afraid I'd have to give up halfway. It's odd that the film is tagged with things like "Ruffalo in the Desert" (reminds me of "Desert Monster"), "Matt Damon Desert Adventure" and the like. To be honest, the film is rarely dramatic, although it is a very dramatic story. However, the visual representation of less than 50 shots does not extend the span of time and space under a large number of long shots. It may be that there are too many straightforward narratives in the front and the director's consistent tragic ending, which makes the ending, which should be eye-popping, come naturally, and the dramatic conflict is also simplified with the tone of the whole play. At this time, no amount of "if", "if", "why" is powerless. All I know is that the surviving Jerry was rescued physically, but psychologically, he was shackled and imprisoned in the desert with the dead Jerry forever.
There is a scene in the film that is worth pondering: Jerry, who climbed up the high rock, has a broad field of vision and sees the target of his search (Jerry played by Matt Damon), but he falls powerless to the ground, like a man at a high level. precarious. The heights are too cold, the feeling of standing alone makes people restless, their feet are like duckweeds, and they have lost the courage (not incapacity) to return to the solid level. So Matt Damon built him a buffer of fine dust for Jerry to land safely. A metaphor can also be summarized here. Through the protracted precipitation of small and trivial things, people can get a buffer of the soul and regain a solid redemption.
Anyway, this totally personal film needs a little bit of digging for the sparkle, reminds me of "Everyone has their own movie", these thought-provoking films will always take their place in private collections .
