I watched the limit of control tonight and liked it better. Compared to 2012, which I just saw in theaters a few days ago, it feels like a Hollywood blockbuster is a joke.
This film is very appetizing to me, basically no dialogue and expressionless killer with looped legs. It seems that every day he doesn't sleep, he just practices Qigong early in the morning and says "Amitabha". According to the instructions in the matchbox, he gradually gets closer to the target, and he makes an appointment every time. A neurotic connector continues his journey, and the connector often has to say a piece of nonsense - the plot between these nonsense is actually connected, such as the guitar words and the Mexican, the slogan in the driver's car, the Japanese little sister about the molecule The perception against the killer inexplicably entered the link between the heavily guarded "base".
The cool atmosphere, a large number of still and empty shots give people a special feeling, and with the appropriate post-rock music, the film is rendered very well.
From the perspective of the overall concept of the film, what the director hopes to instill is what is said in the Diamond Sutra, "all appearances are false." This film is more or less trying to explain Buddhism, at least the killer himself is a Buddhist on the surface. Appearance of a practitioner. Although the movie is still somewhat unclear from the perspective of the depth of Buddhism, it is already valuable. The dialogue along the way, including the artworks viewed in the museum before and after the killer, and finally the brief dialogue between the murdered and the killer-entering the base with imagination , or kill me can't destroy this, it is a direct confrontation between phenomena, as the speaker of the essence of existence The killer killed the stubborn spokesperson of the phenomenon, which reflects the director's efforts to break through the appearance and expose the existence. Essential attempt.
Of course, from the perspective of pure Buddhism, there is no substantial difference between existence and phenomena. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, form is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from form. , so I generally see the director's old wine in the bottle of Buddhist symbols, and it does not rise to the height of Heidegger.
This kind of movie is still a bit high compared to the Hollywood blockbusters that stimulate the senses. Of course, we can like or dislike all kinds of movies, but in addition to venting, we can also feel the thoughts of the director and screenwriter, and generate sparks of our own ideas in the collision. It's not a bad thing either.
