Knife in the water is movie poetry, Knife in the water is not poetry.
I said, the knife in the water is not poetry. Because there is no lyricism in the water knife, no scene description, no scene blending.
But it is film poetry. Because the way it is told is cinematic, but what it wants to express is poetic.
That sailboat, that lake, that knife; that middle-class man, that middle-class woman, that juvenile young man, is all poetry. It is a poem of vision, a poem of sound, a poem of emotion, and a poem of human nature in emotion.
Why is that middle-class man looking for the ballast of young people? Where did that middle-class woman's overreaching mentality come from? Is that young man pure or cruel? Each of these three people is intriguing. At the same time, the relationship between every two of these three people is also intriguing. It is even more intriguing that the three of them live together on the same boat.
However, intriguing does not equal complexity. This is another simple story. Just a story of "three people spend a day on a lake in a boat". Simple is complex. The complexity in simplicity is the most intriguing. Complexity is contained in simplicity, and it becomes poetry.
We can interpret it however we want.

It can be explained as class contradiction.
Can be interpreted as legal and emotional.
Can be interpreted as married life.

water knife. Reminds me of carving a boat for a sword.
Therefore, it can also be interpreted as the philosophical and humanistic concepts of the East and the West.
