If "Paradise Cinema" is a love letter to love movies, then "Sacred Car Dealers" is a suicide note to love movies.
My love, a glimpse of light and shadow passing by the garden in the past, is now a continuous structural plot and ending in the dream of day and night;
My love, when I first met you, you are black and white, simple, and heavy equipment, but now you have been controlled by technology and computers, and you are warned by oracles to all living beings;
My love, when I first saw you, I was still a teenager and said I was worried, but now people are not immune to the commonplace in middle age, but they often recall worry-free and frivolous youth;
My love, everyone says that you are beautiful according to the script, only I love your eclectic bearing and heart.
I wanted to draw a conclusion from this story, and the director immediately gave me another explanation. I thought it would go from sci-fi to road movies, and finally take a big step towards absurd black humor. The interpretation of different lives on the same person makes this day and night extremely ironic. The ideas that have nowhere to put finally bloom into fireworks in this film, which not only ignites emotions, but also bursts the plot.
An actor, after completing the role of rich man, beggar, monster, eccentric Merde, father, singer, killer, dying old man, husband, drove his female driver back to the "Hollywood"-like name. car dealership”, ending a day of running around, but the car as a machine couldn’t help but start a tea party. As the closing remark, "Amen" seemed to carry the arrogance that even Jesus did not let go.
Only geniuses can create such ideas, and mediocrities cannot even replicate them. The absurdity makes people want to laugh, and after laughing, they collapse and wipe their tears. So in the whole film, when I saw the sewer geek running and eating flowers in the cemetery, I felt inexplicably intimate. People who eat flowers must have an incomprehensible loneliness under the appearance of abnormal behavior. Should beauty be hidden to protect or released to be manipulated? When he speaks a language that others don't understand, it reminds me that when I was a child, I also tried to create my own language and writing. People who are good at getting along with me are probably a bit out of tune with the silent majority.
How strong does a person really have to be to be able to perform a variety of different lives perfectly without breaking down? Although the male protagonist was exhausted after playing the old man and died, something in his body has awakened, and that is his attitude towards doubt, in the name of sincerity. If this is a world where it is unclear who is acting and what is real, what is the meaning of the existence of movies, actors, and scripts? The former lover appeared for half an hour and left quickly, as if it was a pre-planned movie scene, so the question is, can his true feelings be true attributes in the false ? Is the truth disguised as a lie still the truth?
The disappearing camera, the mysterious and powerful producer, the script that happened completely in reality, the ubiquitous audience, all pointed to conspiracy theories, like a fantastic way to prove the fact that Snowden was listening, and the whole The world's fears, happiness, and diversity are all but a movie. This is the pinnacle of the movie, and it is also the end of the movie, and the beloved will surely mourn it with a sincere suicide note .
And the interpretation of these nine stories by the same actor can also be derived from alternative egalitarianism and nihilism. A rich man can be a beggar in the past, he may become a beggar in the future, he may be a beggar in his true identity; a sewer geek may have a perfect home, he may be dying in another world, he may be sitting in a corner doubting the authenticity of the world . You are you, you are me, you are him, you are nothing, you are the beginning, the process and the result, you are nothing.
The audience in the movie theater is asleep, and the audience outside the movie theater does not know that they are already in a wonderful movie. What does the future society need? Who is more like a machine or a human? Is the story in the movie acting or real? I thought the movie would be maddening, but happily maddening.
