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.

The Neon Demon quotes

  • Gigi: [while looking at herself and applying lipstick in a bathroom mirror in a club] God, I love this color on me.

    Ruby: Red rum.

    Gigi: What?

    Ruby: That's what it's called. They say women are more likely to buy a lipstick if it's named after food or sex. Just think about it. Black honey, plum passion, peachy keen.

    Gigi: [Sucking on her finger and looking at herself in the mirror] Pink pussy.

  • Gigi: Jesse? What are you doing here?
