In the cold November, there is still an ambitious mosquito, buzzing endlessly, enough to make people unable to sleep peacefully in the silent late night.
Falling into the world is doomed to give our souls no rest. Watching "Singing from the Second Floor" again, there is still that kind of strong shock. The unique charm of the film is fully reflected. You can't help but be slack and sloppy, and it's hard to stay calm, you can only hold your breath and concentrate on it.
For more than a decade, this is the movie that has been in the midst of it. Roy Anderson will go down in film history forever for this film. Simply saying how good it is and how it reveals the deep plight of human beings is too narrow. Intercepting the cross-section of life, and supporting it with the vertical line of human nature, without thinking about it, it makes people feel humiliated and unable to settle down. Hoarseness is just an illusion of powerlessness, silence is greater than noise.
How ambitious is Roy Anderson to make the end-of-the-century lament on the verge of destruction come early. All human affairs, such as religion, politics, economy, family, love, etc., and even the aftermath of World War II, have undergone strange and absurd distortions, poetically showing a side that the world often turns a blind eye to - like a monkey The statue of Jesus that swayed with one hand on the cross was finally abandoned in the garbage dump. The general who was about to rotten wood enjoyed inexhaustible and ultimately unusable wealth, and he was stunned in front of the halls full of ghosts.
A father who set fire to money and swindled money, worried about his speechless son who wrote poetry crazy all day, but had to face a dead and tangled old friend. Those who ask for directions are beaten for no reason. People threw themselves through the streets incessantly. Homeless man kicked out by his wife. Confusion is always a blur in the distance. Couldn't find a written plan, but encountered a crumbling building, and everyone was terrified. Seems to herald the end of capitalism's collapse...
The whole film deliberately selects bloated old people, the activities of fat accumulation into mountains, and the pains and troubles they encounter, as if people can appreciate the unbearable burden of the earth. An old couple performing magic tricks turned a living person into a living person with a big saw, which made people laugh and sigh.
Unique perspective language, philosophical ghosts and horses, such as seeing flowers in the fog and gripping people's hearts. Between the seemingly loose scenes, a deep picture of the contemporary world in the director's mind is constructed, allowing all kinds of strange people to stage a comical drama at the end of the century. Silence is greater than noise. This is not a donkey not a horse movie, let our pale creativity to shame. Other than that, what can I say.
