Jim Jarmusch, Zhanzhamushu, once you hear it, the name will be imprinted in your heart, because The pronunciation is "weird chicken" enough. No, this shouldn't be discriminatory, because I love this name so much that I have to say it more than ten times in a row until I bite my tongue. Looking at Zhan Zha Mushu, because his films tend to be non-mainstream, non-commercial, and break the boundaries of genre films within genre films, only in this way is the name of Zha Mushu. Prison break films, he has Down by Law (1986); Westerns, Dead Man (1995); samurai films, Ghost Dog : The Way of the Samurai, 1999); killer films, he has The Limits of Control (The Limits of Control, 2009), the genre is all-encompassing, but it is a little different. This is different, it is the style, but also the technique; it is the appearance, but also the meaning. In terms of genre, "Eternal Lover" is a blood-sucking zombie film, but there is no blood, no fighting, only love. It is the kind of love that is so rotten and "eternal". This relationship doesn't need a 10,000-year time limit. Vampire zombies don't love "old-fashioned", but only love corruption. A type of corruption that comes first in style, and rotten beyond the mundane, is "style".
Adam (Tom Hiddleston) and Eve (Tilda Swinton) are blood-sucking lovers separated from each other. Adam lives in seclusion in a suburban mansion in Detroit, USA. He is addicted to music, with the characteristics of a lonely artist. He doesn't fit in with the people he calls "zombies", except for the "confidant" Ian (played by Anton Yelchin) who searches for all kinds of precious musical instruments for him. ), and Dr. Watson (Jeffrey Wright), who secretly trades blood type O in the hospital; Eve lives far away in Monaco, North Africa. He has a well-stocked family and lives a free and easy life, occasionally from another vampire Marlowe (John Hurt). Get the blood of the black market in your hands. The first quarter of the film, the parallel stories of the two sides, has no plot, only living, which is a portrayal of the modern literary style. Slowly we understand the habits and characteristics of vampires: they can only move at night, live forever, and can kill them with bullets made of high-density wood or drinking contaminated blood. How long have Adam and Eve been in love? The movie is not explicit, but at least hundreds of years. See you, still passionate.
To count the plot, the ups and downs of traditional narrative films have to wait until the appearance of Eve's sister Ava (Mia Wasikowska), half of the film. Ava is the kind of time-bomb troublemaker who doesn't play cards according to the rules and makes a mess without shame. Ava is a passer-by, but it makes Adam and Eve's smooth and dull life into chaos. "Eternal Lover" is a "style over substance" film with a romantic poetry that belongs to vampires. Lovers are dating, driving on the roads of Detroit, which is like a ruined city, talking about the white dwarf stars of the Milky Way; intoxicating in the old theater turned into a parking lot, talking about the past and the present. Through the mouths of Adam and Eve, Zha Mushu keeps "tossing schoolbags", ranging from astronomy to geography; from science to literature, music is absolutely indispensable.
A vampire who sees through human history, and jokes about the ignorance and ignorance of human beings. Schubert's symphony was originally written by Adam, and Shakespeare's masterpiece was ghostwritten by Marlowe. The wall in Adam's house is covered with pictures of famous people. It is a wall of memory. To the immortal, history is just a memory, and it is used to pay tribute. The dark humor that permeates the dialogue is a wry smile at humanity. They look at human beings with the eyes of a stranger, which happens to be similar to the previously released "Under the Skin" (2013), which is also the famous work "Stranger" by Zhan Mushu. An extension of Than Paradise, 1984). The latter has the resistance and assimilation of immigrants (Hungarians) and American culture (music, food, language), "Eternal Lover" is an immortal living in the world, also a foreigner, but for movie fans, it should not be. strangeness. "Eternal Lover" is an alternative, poetic, stylized, romantic, black alien film, the most mainstream is the moment when the ending comes to an abrupt end. Audiences who entered the venue with the fantasy of "blood-sucking new century style", I'm sorry, you chose the wrong movie, why don't you come to the slag Mushu! Oops, bit my tongue!
