This movie took a long time to finish in two days. After watching it, I was at a loss. After reading the first hot review of the long review, I suddenly realized that this was really a dream of the male protagonist's mother. I really admire the director of this film for his ability to seamlessly combine virtual and reality, which is really amazing. I also admire the author who wrote that long review. I really give you a big compliment. It's perfect.
So today, I watched the first half of the movie again, and my thoughts were smooth. Often we only paid attention to the superficial content, but ignored the important details. The director explained the clues of the film very vaguely, and the interweaving of the two timelines made people confused. At the last moment when the male protagonist in the dream overturned in the car, the camera switched to several clues in the male protagonist's mother's dream, the bottle of "antidote", the eel, the ballet dancer, the photo, and then the mother woke up and fell asleep again and passed away . Then the camera switches to the end of the story. The cremation of the male protagonist's mother happened after the male protagonist took Pan back according to the company's request, and it was also in the real world. After the male protagonist took the elevator and left, the camera switched to the mother's dream, the deer, and then the mother's dream continued.
In addition, I would also like to explain that the director has a very deep and thorough understanding of dreams and has brought it into play in his film and television works: First, the logic of the storyline in the dream is very wrong, and you cannot explain it from a realistic point of view, because you It can never be explained clearly. When you observe the movie, you will find many so-called logical flaws, and you may think that it is a hole dug by the director. In fact, this is the director's intention, because this is the true expression of the dream, and the director has done it. Second, people always switch between the first person and the third person when they dream. The image represented by the male protagonist's mother in the dream switches back and forth between the dancing girl and herself. For a while, she becomes the first person who directly talks to the second-person son, and then she becomes the third-person bystander observing the son and the dancing girl. . Third, the character in the dream experiences in the dream what you experience in reality, not what he experiences in reality. As an example of my own, I once dreamed that my junior high school classmates in my dream were taking classes in my high school classroom. Fourth, the time, place, quality, geographic location, etc. in the dream are all controlled by the dreamer, and many days in the dream may only pass a few hours in reality. The director did this too.
The humming of the female voice in the background music of the film gives a noble, elegant and gorgeous look. The scenes in the film are like a paradise, and the rhythm of the film is slow like a long stream of water, which has a refreshing and healing effect.
