In the real world, how many love beauty? How many Ninos are there like Amelia? There are several who can appear in the same period, in the same city, and at the same subway entrance, doing the same things that others don't understand.
Therefore, behind happiness, there is always a lot of bitterness as a price. At the end of the film, Amelia's sad eyes kept flashing.
After watching "Rhapsody of the Black Dot". Almost the original cast of "Love Beauty" (except for the heroine). Absurd style at a glance. The boss who sells human flesh kills one neighbor every night, and the other neighbors share "companions" the next day. The only person who seemed normal was the clown, pulling a hacksaw-like musical instrument, but the sound was phantom-like and ghostly. Yet its playing complements the deep, deep strings of the cello. So, with the help of the cello player, the daughter of the boss who sells human flesh, and the rat-like raincoats who live in the underground pipes, the world is turned upside down.
Then there's "The Night of the Lost Soul of a Child's Dream". To be honest, these three films are all a bit "heavy", and I have never been able to watch them all in one sitting.
"Love Beauty" is better, but I only read it after listening to many people and seeing many film critics and pictorials. It feels good.
"Rhapsody" and "Lost Night" are tougher. It belongs to the shadows, the same green background color, the wet ground and waterways, the rusted iron buildings, the moss-covered stone pier walls, the strange people and characters, the abnormal and absurd behavior and killing, forever A "cave" city with only lights and no sun. If it is a child, it will definitely cry with fright, and what is worse, the discomfort will also leave a shadow in the subconscious: at night, they will quietly fall asleep. I woke up after a cold sweat - that's okay, I'm even afraid that when I'm getting old, my mind is not so flexible, my body is not so strong, and I start to believe in superstitions, those terrible things begin to blur with reality, tormenting this With a body and mind that is about to decay.
Nightmare come true, real like a dream. Being in a trance in fear and not being able to die peacefully is the most terrifying thing.
I don't want to do any spoilers. Just to make some clarifications on some stills. (see continued)
