You can't hide the expert

First of all, the movie is a narrative. Otherwise, if you watch the pictures for two hours, it is better to go to the MV or the art exhibition. Movies have their own audiovisual language, narrative rhythm. Apparently none of these directors intended to be respected. As an artist. I give you two stars for the picture. You put some thought into the picture, and everything else is a mess.

I saw a lot of people in the film review saying it was like "Mulholland Drive", or a parody of "Mulholland Drive". I didn't see it, compared to the difference between these two films. The core of Mulholland Drive is Freud's psychoanalysis, a tribute to The Interpretation of Dreams. What is the core of the film? Is there a philosophical core? I'm sorry for trying to be a jerk with any R-rated thing. You are not as exciting as porn.

Either the meaning needs to be clear or not, or you can play mixed postmodernism. nor. The postmodern paradigm is also not pure enough. Because you also want to have a narrative, and even to indulge the modeling industry. That is full. Both ends are not supported, and neither side is done well. Or just be more pure, cut off the narrative, it's all imagery, and the picture is amazing. Or be more rigorous and do a good job of narrative and metaphor. Don't be fooled, east end, west end. That just proves you can't. Kung fu is not at home.

    Comet Beauty was eaten as soon as it took off. The extreme of consumerism is the complete consumption of the flesh. Photography and art are great, editing is mediocre. Neon Demon = Fame. There was no normal lighting in the opening 15 minutes, and 80% of the scenes in the whole film were not properly lit. The only normal thing was in the morning of the motel.

The Neon Demon quotes

  • Gigi: Well, you certainly move fast.

    Jesse: What do you mean?

    Gigi: You must be fucking him. Sarno doesn't let just anyone walk his collection.

    Jesse: [scoffs] I don't think I'm his type...

    Gigi: Why not? You're very masculine.

  • Gigi: You wanna know what I had done, don't you?

    [Jesse stares intently]

    Gigi: Well I thought I'd get more work if I went down a cup size. So I'd look like a hanger, ya know? But then my surgeon, Dr. Andrew, he pointed out a lot of other problems with my body. So I had them: shave my jaw, I had a slight eyebrow lift, new nose, cheeks, inner and outer lipo... oh, and they pinned my ears.

    Jesse: Why?

    Gigi: So I could wear a ponytail?
