This is a film that focuses on people's mental state, but the method it uses is to maximize its environmentalization. If you pay attention to any sound in the environment and amplify it a hundred times, if you pay attention to any movement in the environment and slow it down a hundred times, you will feel a strange power that comes from Human psychology, and it is strong enough to destroy the psychological defense line, and make people face the brink of collapse. This film focuses on making people pay attention to this kind of purely environmental things that people usually don't think about, so as to express the psychological state of the protagonist.
There is also a scene in this movie that I can remember for a lifetime: in a small hotel, the hero and a woman fall asleep together after a cloud and rain. In the middle of the night, the hero is woken up by the buzzing of mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes are parked on the side. On the arm of the lying woman, he slapped it hard, and red spots fell from the place where the hand came up. Then, the red color kept expanding and spreading to the whole body. When the man was surprised, he saw the blood gushing out from the woman's body like waves, and it was covered by the snow-white sheets. It looked particularly dazzling against the background, and when I turned over the woman's face again, I saw that she had bled to death...
When I saw this, I was speechless, and my admiration for the director was beyond words, so much so that every time I fought mosquitoes in the future, I would have serious symptoms. Mental disorder, can you see blood?
