I've heard of Heath Ledger's swan song before, but I'm not a big fan of his, so I don't have the mentality of admiring his godlike acting. Come to see this movie, ps; for personal reasons, all I fanatically love are the stars who "have such acting skills, do not need to have such looks; have such looks, do not need such acting skills", so I always mention No interest in Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger. . . . hehe. Precisely because I didn't set my sights on Heath Ledger, I had more time to think about the various episodes in the film. Write two points here.
The first thing that caused me to think was the very important object in the film, the mirror. Lacan once said that children look in mirrors to construct a self-existence. In fact, adults do this. The reason why the film uses mirrors as a medium to connect the real and virtual worlds and The bridge, in fact, is that each of us can show our truest self in front of the metaphorical mirror. In the mirror is a virtual world constructed by Dr. Parnassus's mind power. In fact, Dr. Parnassus is just the door, the one who leads out of the mirror. A brick thrown from the jade subconscious in my heart, so the virtual world entered by the rich woman is full of beautiful high heels, dazzling jewelry, and of course, dreamy handsome men. Valentina's mirror world is what she has always seen. The beautiful scenes and objects in the furniture advertisements, while the imaginary world of the liar tony is a short-lived love with valentina and a more ambitious dream - a charity that is bright on the surface but hides the dirt on the inside, of course. , In his own world, even the solution after the incident was his usual way of evading by suspended animation, but it was quite ironic that he was tricked by Dr. Parnassus in the end.
Secondly, it is worth thinking about the deal that Dr. Parnassus has been making with the devil. In fact, if the devil is collectively referred to as a force of evil, then we have seen too many works of art related to this, and "Faust" bears the brunt; Think about it, the beautiful little mermaid also made a deal with a witch and turned into a human body, walking on the tip of a knife every day just to see her lover; A victim of desire; then I think, the peerless lesrart in "Interview with the Vampire" can be regarded as a devil. He makes deals with people who are not as good as death, in exchange for immortality in exchange for chatting to get rid of a lonely partner. Maybe at first glance we all sneer at these so-called villains, but as the saying goes, a slap doesn't make a difference. Looking at all the film and television works of art I have seen, there seems to be no movie where the devil uses his dark power to force humans to go. On the road of no return. In each work, the devils mentioned one of the most crucial words: "choose". In the magic fantasy show, mr.nick asked parnassus to choose countless times; the witch even warned the little mermaid of the pain of turning into a human body; letstart would say "I'll give you a chance to choose" before changing each candidate to the devil's spokesperson , the devil actually said something like "vanity, devil's favorite thing" and put all responsibility on the vanity of human beings. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable, so at the end of the magic fantasy show, Dr. Parnassus saw his daughter After a happy ending, he chose to leave, and after a short period of calm, he encountered the devil's provocation. This time, he chose to turn a blind eye, he made a choice, and the devil could not do anything. In fact, it is the so-called "the wind does not move, the flag does not move, it is our hearts that move." The so-called devil, is it not possible that we have transformed our own demons? The biggest enemy of man is not the devil, but himself, and the one who overcomes himself Inner demons are sometimes more difficult than resisting demons from a wicked world.
