Just a local dog, just pretend to be a weasel

In the long shot, I waited, I thought, I was angry at the hero's arrogance, I sighed at his mistakes, I was sad at Majid's tragic fate...
Well, I did what the director asked me to do all done.
I have completed the audience's respect for the director, but does the director respect the audience?
It is obviously a social film, why does it have to be a plot, suspense, and thriller?
Is it humiliating to make a social film?
Do you have to disguise it as a literary film like a tertiary film?
The suspense movies are also written on the DVD box, the movie rating category is also a suspense movie, and the first half hour is also a suspense movie. Watch this as a suspense movie, your brain is on another channel, okay?
From the perspective of a suspense film, the ending is two people who should not have known each other. It turned out that they have known each other for a long time. This is a very important clue for a suspense film.
However, judging from the ideas expressed in the whole film, the director obviously did not use "the two of them conspire" to solve the mystery.
This is the typical ending of a social film: cover the scroll and sigh, bow your head to introspect, look up to see the next generation, and hope emerges in your heart.
The spirit of the entire film is fundamentally inconsistent with the storyline. The appearance of suspense is neither exciting nor necessary, nor logical nor endless.
I thought it was the exclusive trick of the Chinese director: take a Hamlet or thunderstorm or whatever.
Because those topics are too accurate and too deep, you are too embarrassed to give bad reviews.
"The widow realizes that, that is peace!"
Have you realized it?

    Stunned...Classic Creativity! Clever, concise, subtle, accurate, rich, powerful, the different spatial lines on both sides of the screen, the sense of rhythm..."Haneke's work is better at analyzing modern society than the piles of Documentary", well said haha

    Perhaps because of the deviation of the translation of the film title, many people put their attention on the wrong place in Haneke's masterpiece Caché: the position and purpose of the recorder are not the focus, and what is recorded is the real source of fear. The film shows "covering" in multiple meanings, covering up private life, covering up the past, covering up secrets, covering up history, but covering up is not erased after all. Be careful that these ghosts jump out from time to time and become terrifying nightmares.

  • Georges Laurent: Isn't it lonely, if you can't go out?

    Georges's Mom: Why? Are you less lonely because you can sit in the garden? Do you feel less lonely in the metro than at home? Well then! Anyway, I have my family friend... with remote control. Whenever they annoy me, I just shut them up.
