soul climb

Man, light it up
to find a friend
one tear of mine!
A taste of the chaos
...
look at her teeth and you can feel
her dying for your last pain
the whole world
...
a long lonely journey
from life to death
a long lonely journey
...
accept or not Back to the journey?
All the weight on his face
loneliness
I don't understand
...
face to face
my face
total freezing and death a
long journey loneliness that spreads from my home
a long lonely journey a
lonely journey
- Blake's play and sing

about perspective in the gus film People have said a lot, the multi-perspective in "The Elephant" is more to tell a story, the multi-perspective in this film is more like a gus inertia, it is even optional.

The use of long shots is obviously to set off a mood. It should be pointed out that many people think that long shots are realistic lengths, but they are not. If you think that long takes can express a real naturalistic moment, it is the result of ignoring the subject of the movie. Watching movies and watching life are two completely different aesthetic experiences. The length of the shots in the movies will magnify the aesthetic factors that are not available in reality. Therefore, the one-minute long shots of the shots are likely to make people feel longer than one minute in reality. . That's one use for long shots - expressing emotions like restlessness. Also, a long shot means no less than a Montage cutout shot. For example, in Ropoulos' films, the slow and long shots allude to various kinds of resistance that could not be expressed under the totalitarian rule at that time. In this sense, a long shot can express connotation or meaning even more than a montage, because its interpretation is a relatively open unity, while a montage is an extension of one plus one.

In "The Last Days", the role of long shots is to express more emotions, the emotions of despair, dullness, and meaningless life.

The color of the entire film feels like it was intentionally underexposed by one stop to express a gloomy feeling.

The shot of Blake's soul climbing towards the end of the film is fantastic. Personally, I think this film can be more expressive, but now I feel that it is not life-like and expressive enough.
