irrelevant to the writer

Find out that this film is compared with the idea of "Capote". It's just that although this film is also similar to the biography of the writer and also involves violent murder, it is completely different from the point of view of the theme. "Capote" focuses on an actual creative experience, a personal spiritual experience, and this film should be a life adventure fictionalized by the director, a revealing of the good and evil of human nature. "Castle" is Kafka's famous image, although I haven't read it, I suppose it should also symbolize imprisonment, closure and dictatorship. This film concretizes the image of the castle into a real thing, which is full of various dictators, conspirators, as well as the control methods of human nature and inhumane punishments. The outer town streets are also gloomy and dark, people are allowed to be anesthetized in the bars, and the secret police are hiding in the corners to keep an eye on the movements of the sober and resisters. The most shocking is of course the brainwashing experiment, but many facts in history can prove that this is not a sensational legend. Treating weak writers as lone heroes, of course, makes the film somewhat stereotyped, but this approach is still very successful. The conversion between black and white and color is so common these days. In my opinion, black and white in this film represents deception, while color represents the truth. In the end, although the male protagonist has learned the truth, he is well aware that the reality that the people are deceived cannot be. Change, but also willing to fall into that uncivilized chaos, and continue the life of drunken life.

That mirror! That composition! And the heartbreaking black-and-white reality and the egg-shattering color nightmare.

I think I am ignorant. The first time I came into contact with a political thriller, the last time I watched "Inglourious Basterds" was the first time I came into contact with the aesthetics of violence. The soundtrack and color transitions are a highlight. Mind control authority, a topic that is easy to come into contact with recently, the "1Q84" just introduced and watched has more or less such a mood. The rules have changed, adapt or resist?
