Burn a scar on your hand, to remember a day, to remember a person. Use pain to remember love. Pain is exploited, and after the burning is over there is peace and scars and love. . is wonderful. Just like how I felt in the heavy ending song after watching this depressing, tangled, and unintelligible movie for a long time.
If the movie is called Scar, I think it's okay too. Scars are for remembering, scars are for moving on, scars are for pain, scars are for love. The burning plain is like a scar on the earth. Will the earth, like the little girl in the movie, use self-mutilation and burn a scar with a lighter to remember a certain encounter?
The scar appears several times in this film. The first time the heroine scratched her thigh with a stone at the beach, she seemed to want to commit suicide. It suddenly reminded me of the laughing jumping into the sea played by Shu Qi in If You Are the One. In contrast, Xiaoxiao directly fell in love with death and went to dance. In comparison, this is too straightforward, without the kind of paradoxical entanglement and lingering scars. Not so loving either.
The second gas explosion left a scar on the site of the ruins. "I guess it is where my dad's head is burning." For the son, seeing the scene after his father's affair was burned, this scene is regarded as the scar after the burning, and it is not the burning and pain in the son's heart on site. We often do not know ourselves in the pain, only after leaving the scar, many years later in the outbreak after the faint pain, it seems that a burning, a pain has occurred.
The third time, the little girl's father's plane crashed; the two children's scars were burned to commemorate their meeting; the pain was used so thoroughly without knowing it. Yes, pain is exploited. Scars are not trophies of pain, they are just love tricks, to make love more memorable. Love is beautiful, but not so memorable without pain. The pain hurts, but the foreplay of seeing it as a scar is lingering.
Many film critics think that this is a work about redemption. Amen's prayer from a little girl seems to be a proof, but what else? Redemption of what? Salvation is one's own initiative to ask for forgiveness. The woman said "Forgive me, please" to her daughter, but she didn't take the initiative to find this girl. If that is the purpose of the director, the weight seems too light. Does the recurring burning plain have anything to do with redemption other than the point.
The intersection of the 5 clues takes place in the structure of a novel we have only recently learned about. The structure serves the content, but here it is necessary to find the content painfully in the process of dealing with the structure, and it is also possible to use the pain to obtain the desired memory.
His structural film review has been introduced, and the teacher has also talked about it before, and it seems unnecessary to narrate it. Of course, his structure is what he thinks is "unique in the world", and it cannot be said that it is not important. I just want to express something new.
