hidden fear

"Hidden" is something you can't see,


so I don't think it should be called candid photography. Some people may mistake it for some nasty magazine stories. In fact, if those people were readers of those magazines, they would think that the movie was ignorant, and wouldn't the story on paper be better.


Because one is a superficial candid filming
, and the other is ignoring the underlying hidden fears


. It is impossible to distinguish between reality and videotape, what is happening now or what is in the videotape. The past is an experience you don't want to remember. This is the interesting part of the movie, using the camera to tell the story, isn't the audience peeping at other people's stories?

Reflection is my habit in watching movies. I watched this movie so much, maybe I understood what the hidden fear was. In fact, I think everyone has it too, a piece of the past that you have to tell you to remember. The reason is that people are forgetful animals, and the past will be selectively forgotten, especially when you hurt others' past, and Protect yourself now that everything is fine.

Some things you think you don't say, you forget, you
think this thing will fade away
, and one day someone tells you what to do, I'll know it,
and there are those unseen things before I start to think of the past that I do n't
want to remember.
It's a small thing to others,
but it's a big thing in life for someone




Don't be late when you watch this movie

    Michael Harneck’s films always surpass my ability to interpret. You have to watch a lot of film reviews to appreciate the true power of this film. . . To be honest, the suspenseful and weird plot of the film made me worried, and the constant presentation of contradictions and doubts also made me look big. . .

    Absently enduring the torment of suspense and the restrained handling of long shots without a soundtrack and few lines, finally came the amazing scene at 57 minutes that was said to have made many audiences jump when it was screened in Cannes. 117 minutes is long enough, and Haneke still doesn't make it clear, veiled and tortured. There were riots and riots in Paris shortly after the film's release.

  • Georges Laurent: Isn't it lonely, if you can't go out?

    Georges's Mom: Why? Are you less lonely because you can sit in the garden? Do you feel less lonely in the metro than at home? Well then! Anyway, I have my family friend... with remote control. Whenever they annoy me, I just shut them up.
