Loneliness is manifested in groups. If there is only one person in the world, there is no such thing as loneliness. Loneliness is when you carry a secret that you cannot share with the world. The secret was sacred at first, and as more and more things were done for it, you slowly became corrupted by the secret, and you became more and more out of tune with your surroundings. Until you die, you will not feel tragic at this time, only lonely and meaningless. Killers face the police, and members of the underground resistance face the occupying forces. They live underground and cannot see light. Their deaths were even kept secret.
Every movie has great chapters. These fragments become indelible memories. Looking back on a movie, it is often found that the narrative cannot be narrated, and the jumping of the movie cuts off the possibility of rational retelling. Originally, text is superfluous in the film. If it can be expressed in words, then why do you need a camera, so it is best to use the footage to reveal it.
The following two sets of shots are unforgettable.
1.
Ventura was in a hotel in England. Pack your luggage, open the box and put the clothes in one by one, neatly. Next to him was the same neatly spread bed and the humble interior. The protagonist has no expression on his face and concentrates on this trivial task. The lens takes a long time to record this process. Although there is no need to explain the promotion of the plot, the tone of loneliness is diffused. In his rigorous and rigid actions, this person has no unnecessary actions and no sloppiness. He takes everything that belongs to him into his body, and things that do not belong to him cannot enter.
2.
Or Ventura's signature face, walking on the road, London was attacked by air. He dodged into a pub. Inside is a group of soldiers socializing. He looked indifferently at the men and women in military uniforms in every corner. They looked at him too, he was an outlier. Under the shadow of war, he could not integrate with this world. Warm whispers, soft singing and dancing, do not belong to him. Ventura's eyes widened and she looked at her surroundings, bewildered. His calmness and restraint became clumsy, useless and meaningless. When he retreated back to the dark alley, and was tightly wrapped by the night, he was considered to have returned to the world that belonged to him. Loneliness was his only layer of protection.
There is no good or evil here. This film tells the story of how a group of people were corrupted by loneliness and war and finally died
