bon, no matter what, in that era or this era, we are all pursuing freedom.
But what this film is trying to say is the meaningful line at the end, "Down with freedom!" Oh, my dear Mandarin, the pronunciation of "down" and "reach" is so similar.
So what he's trying to say is that "freedom" today is causing people's anger. That's just the "freedom" the ruler advertises, and if it were true freedom, the world would be as messed up as his movies. So the guy who looks like a teacher in the film has been talking about morality and law all the time.
All right. In fact, I really don't want to comment too much. This kind of critical film would have been full of its unique personality due to different subjective consciousness, and the praise and criticism were mixed.
There is a deep meaning in it, and it is enough to stay in the hearts of the viewers and help the director to justify his own words.
I just want to record the absurdity that has appeared in it. Because in a sense, movies are similar to architecture, they are both composed of time and space. Selfishly, I just wanted to explore the spatial implications of it.
The first is the unreasonable things in a bedroom - the postman, the chicken, the peacock. The bell kept ringing because of the hour, it was already midnight, and my wife fell asleep beside her.
And then there's a bunch of middle-class parties. That's even more outrageous. The seats are all flush toilets - a good open toilet, with a table in the middle, take off your pants, sit down, and start talking. What caught my attention was the question "Where is the dining room?" Oh my god, the dining room is like a bathroom, so private it's huddled at the end of a hallway.
When I thought about it, another scene suddenly appeared in my mind. That man and woman were performing SM in front of the priest. It was really disrespectful.
Well, in fact, this is one of the director's methods, which is to subvert people's habits and traditions, such as changing the position of the private and the open like this - this can create absurdity.
I once thought that architecture is actually an absurdity, just as life is an absurdity. Because people in the world are too serious, it becomes so absurd. And if the whole world was absurd, wouldn't the world be a better place?
PS, the first time I saw the works of this surrealist master, I really learned a lot. Thanks to Mr. Zhang Yonghe's "Xing to Kuangxi", which appeared in the book "Breaking the Ground", I learned about this director. Let's end this review with just one sentence.
"The dominant idea of surrealist film director Louis Buñuel when he made his first film was to never want any sane shots, in fact, the idea itself was very sane. The film was full of illogicality after it was made. scene, but the rationalist conception behind it is obvious.”
