Kafka - Master is always crazy

I haven't read Kafka's novels, and I always feel that recommending this movie would be out of my reach, but aside from his identity as a master of existentialism, what attracted me was a thrilling movie full of bizarre feelings. Because this is not a Kafka biopic,
the word "being" is a word that only "people" are qualified to use. If you ask dead objects: "Does the table exist? Does the chair exist?" the question is actually meaningless, because whether you ask the question or not, these things are the same and will not change. Except people. Adventure in an era of institutionalization is too easy to hide, so it is more complicated and confusing. The more stable the society, the more suppressed the fantasies.
Ingenious director Steven Soderbergh imaginatively sets Kafka in a world associated with his novels, and draws Kafka into a whirlpool of hazy and thrilling experiences. In the film, the bold technique of black and white color overlap is used, and the rich and rich black and white pictures suddenly change back to color at the intense climax, which is surprising. The existence itself is really absurd!
After watching the disc, I was not very interested. I found "Castle" on the Internet, and Haruki Murakami's "Kafka by the Sea" to read it. This is another gain after watching the movie.

    A thriller and suspense film with a weird atmosphere. It looks like a film noir on the surface, but Cronenberg is very Cronenberg in the bones. In fact, I always feel that Soderbergh made this film to pay tribute to Cronenberg's "Nude Lunch".

    A hundred years ago, HR found Kafka and said that the boss asked you to add an hour or two to work on these documents. Kafka had a dead face, and the most unprofessional character in any film and television drama was always facing the company computer late at night. hehe

Kafka quotes

  • Franz Kafka: When a document is sent to the Medical Records Division, is it possible to recall it for a view?

    The Keeper of the Files: Of course not. Who'd want to let in a bunch of riff-raff off the street?

  • Oscar: Going back to your Burrow?
