It took me a whole week to watch this movie off and on, and I almost gave up. The plot driven by the heroine as the main line is like a psychotic raving.
I have worked in this kind of port and admire the director's composition coloring skills. I've seen those stern factories, huge cargo ships, iron railings on ships, neat and bleak piles of goods in warehouses. The director presented this unpopular, unnatural, and purely industrial unique beauty. As if it were an object as massive as nature, industry and nature were equal opposites.
The heroine has been in a state of mental anxiety. I once suspected that she had low blood sugar, and it was difficult to control the purchase of eaten bread from others. As the plot progresses, the heroine exists as a kind of alien. In the huge industrial forest, the irrational existence is driven by emotions and feelings to drive her beautiful body. The confrontation between the heroine and her husband is simply a strong contrast between human irrationality and rationality. The heroine's husband explains the top to the child, the straight man of science and engineering steel, and the heroine tells the child the story of the girl and the beach, full of poetic mystery and nonsense. rational feeling.
A few memorable clips:
The hostess and her lover test and flirt with each other in the empty grocery store. The background of the grocery store is very beautiful, like Morandi came to color. After going out, the cement-colored fruit stall looks like a famous sketch.
The heroine chatted with several men and women in the red hut and said some dirty words. This bright red hut was like a projection of the stage of desire. Like a drama. It's like a mother's womb. In fact, I didn't particularly understand the inner meaning of the dialogue. I only felt that these people were different from the factory workers, and they were a little rambunctious and full of primitive desires.
The heroine child pretends to be disabled. I think it's the kids who feel unnoticed. The heroine's heart is suffering, and there is no more power to release love. The story of the beach told by the hostess and the child is beautiful, the little black girl is beautiful, the beach is also beautiful, primitive, those rocks are like the curves and folds of the female body. It was a place that was opposed to the reality of the female protagonist's existence.
The heroine runs to her lover's arms after discovering that she has been deceived by the child. This male boss in a suit is also very interesting. He belongs to a sullen and rational man, and is not a female lead. But every time the director hits the heroine's calf with the camera, he is implying that the heroine's charm attracts the other party. The entanglement scene between the two in the hotel fully reflects that the erotic scenes in literary films are really unpleasant. The heroine has been chasing with her lover, and her lover can't wait to get it done. The beauty, bewilderment and fragility of a psychopathic woman presumably really makes it easy to induce an impulsive instinct, whether to attract or save or both. The heroine's amazing hair volume, her back full of entangled emotions, and her bewildered eyes that seemed to be absent from the scene made this scene like a kind of psychological wrestling.
In the end there is no doubt that a boring lover is not the antidote. Lover's own spiritual world is also a desert. The heroine wanted to search, to escape, and to give herself a place of peace of mind. When she got on the big boat, I was very afraid that the director would let her go away. The result was no, the hostess said she had no decision. Yes, this is the director. His protagonist is always wandering, always bewildered, but never has the joy of dying and living again, which is not what his protagonist would do. This is real. Everyone will face such a predicament and have the urge to escape, but most people can only find a compromise within the framework of reality.
But when I saw the heroine holding the child's hand and saying that birds don't go to the poisonous air. I feel a kind of peace of mind. In any case, the heroine broke away from that unstable mood, and she had some firm judgments.
