"The Bottom of the Silver Lake" 6.5

I heard it was a horror movie of the year, I found out that I was fooled after 10 minutes of watching it, so I paused, took out my mobile phone, closed the official account, imagined myself spit on the face of the unscrupulous author, and then continued to play.

It's like taking the corners of Hitchcock, David Lynch and Carpenter, and then using the history of movies on and off the Hollywood screen in the past century as a condiment, and actually served a plate of art films.

In some places, I contacted the past film reading experience, and I felt a little complacent when I saw the doorway. In more places, I was confused, whether it was the director's pursuit that was out of control, or whether it was simply his own failure, and Nedi had to say nothing.

But there is one place that is easy to understand. The male protagonist of Luther is obviously the legendary dog ​​thief. The women in his fantasies are barking wildly, so what he wants to kill is more than a dog.

    Some scenes were very poorly done, like the open-air movie, where the text was pretty bad. But there are also many bright spots, such as the suspense-thriller style of the 1950s or early 1960s, which slightly imitates the characteristics of B-movies, and the soundtrack also serves this purpose, as well as the depiction of Hollywood needles hidden in cotton. The themes are very rich, basically a series of deconstruction and rebellion based on postmodernism, listing the symptoms of popular culture. This movie is more like a carefully played ticket, not bad, not too good. The cinephile elements are naturally enjoyable, but the sloppy editing and structure are also awkward. A down-and-out otaku like Garfield is actually a winner in life. I personally like the Nintendo puzzle part.

    It's too messy, all the stalks, elements, styles, etc. are mixed together, and what the director wants to criticize is vague, but it doesn't prevent me from thinking this movie full of conspiracy theories and mysticism is very attractive. The rare thing about Garfield is that there is no obscenity in playing such a role.
