It turned out to be the same director as "Beyond 91 Centimeters". I really like the perspective of the hand, and I was moved when I watched the trailer. The hand is an important participant in the various experiences of life, and if the hand is separated from the self-consciousness, it seems that it can indeed have a complete "soul" - with memory, feeling, and action. In the film, the shape of the hand and even the "look" is very delicately expressed, and the mastery of body language is wonderful, and the emotion can be accurately conveyed without expressions.

Fighting against fate, you can make breakthroughs by surprise. It seems that he is bound by fate, but in fact, fate is the fate that he has identified, and the "unexpected" "it" is also himself. While following the girl, he hesitated, and at the last moment when the subway door closed, he mustered up the courage to rush out. How many times have you thought that things would end like this, accepting the ending and thinking "it really is", is it because you have experienced such moments that you will believe in fatalism? So have you ever tried to give up action when faced with this so-called predetermined ending, instead of thinking that "all struggles are in vain", but to give it a go?

The male protagonist trying to catch a fly and accidentally losing a hand is like fighting with fate and paying a heavy price. This is how life is. No matter how careful you are, you can't take into account all the risks in the future. In the randomness and chaos, who can be sure not to lose something as important as the "hand".

The beginning of the unfortunate fate was recorded on the tape. After losing a hand, he continued to record the determination to break the boat and rewrite it into a life that broke through fate. Please, please, also have the courage to make that life-or-death leap.

(The loneliness of the city, the atmosphere goes deep into the bone marrow with the soundtrack, and will be revisited in the future)

    What the hero has gone through is like you and me who blame themselves for irreparable faults. . . The soundtrack of this play is too emotional, sadness and loneliness will surround you involuntarily

    A / The motion quality of the hand is not only the jumping mass, but also the water flow under the ice layer, the whirling snow and wind, and even the dust of the universe. The memory of the senses is chasing the body, and the body is chasing you. And when the mind tries to touch the memory beyond the body, the pain of cutting brings us the most skin-conscious physical presence. Fortunately, even if we are separated, we can still imagine the retention of physical memory and open up new resonance with others who cannot be touched. How ambitious is this microscopic perception power?

I Lost My Body quotes

  • Naoufel: That it must be peaceful to be cut off from the world like that. To see nothing... hear nothing...

  • Naoufel: Do you believe in fate? No, seriously.

    Gabrielle: That everything is written in advance? That we follow a trajectory?

    Naoufel: Yeah

    Gabrielle: And that we can't change anything?

    Naoufel: We think that we can, but we can't. It's an illusion. Unless we do... Something completely unpredictable and irrational. It's the only way to conjure the spell for good.
