"Cold Branches Quiet"

Probably since Bergman's "Marriage Life", I don't hate philosophical works so much, and I found the feeling of watching Wes Anderson's movies - the separation from real life is to enlarge the details that have a "sense of life" and clips, zoomed in on film, and pondered up close.

Seeing someone reading the whole film context and metaphors for the country's history, I may not have been able to do this analysis for a long time (never my interest), but there are other things that really hit me .

1. Reflective glass windows. The two little girls blowing bubbles, the men and women smoking, the bakery, and the bicycle shop at the bus stop all have glass windows that cleanly reflect the opposite buildings. It's so beautiful, it hurts my heart, and it makes me sad.

2. The essence of life is inseparable from boring repetition. "I'm glad to hear you're fine." "Everyone else has to get up early for work tomorrow."

3. Guide the audience's attention. The captain was on the phone outside the dining room, and naturally stared at him as he was the only source of sound, the long, slow "confession" made me almost lose my mind and suddenly hear him start repeating the previous words, while seeing through the glass window The young man who was talking to the female teacher in the tour angrily got up and left, and I realized that I had missed the long-term, silent development of the plot.

4. Age and style. Philosophical speculation does not need to talk about time background, but it is undoubtedly with a strong sense of ancient times - gray-yellow scenes, extremely clean and simple scenes, potted plants with dead branches, suitcases, toy salesmen... effortlessly Create a desolate atmosphere - and then complete the shaping of this abstract space. This kind of abstract space is almost as powerful as nostalgia and memory in evoking emotion, allowing me to easily immerse in it.

5. It is good to hear the soprano in tears. The moment the hostess of the lame tavern opened my mouth, I was amazed that it was the sound of heaven! This song is so comforting, I want to cry.

[All references to "want to cry" and "want to cry" in this film review are literally mean it, and there is no rhetoric at all. 】
