lost soul

"Franklin" should be said to be a good movie, with multiple clues and cross-narratives, profound themes, and the diversity of characters, all of which are properly grasped.
The film mainly highlights three people, Jonathan, Emily and Milo. All three are lost in the world of their own imagination and cannot extricate themselves. But there is one thing in common: they are all left behind by their parents' divorce in childhood, or their parents' other reasons, lingering. So I imagined another world to escape from myself.
The director's portrayal of their imaginary world is deep, eerie and desolate. It's a pity that it's not very original. The feeling of doomsday. At that time, the city's attention was too much, which made the film's expression unbalanced, and the overlapping of the three clues was slightly deliberate and unnatural.

Franklyn quotes

  • Gavin Clune: What happened to your Following project? Two months following random strangers around London with your video camera. Now you're going to throw it all away?

    Emilia: The last guy saw me. I even wore a wig to disguise myself for a few days, but it didn't work. It's over.

  • Preest: When you're lost, you're willing to believe anything. In this city, every religion promised a future, whether in this world or the next. All you had to pay them with was your faith and trust and, despite the celebration, the reverence and the prayer, everybody ends up in the same human mess. Old. Sick. Unhappy. Dead.
