The scenes of the film are very similar to European oil paintings, and the composition and tone are very careful. The reproduction of that era can be said to be exquisite and perfect, and the sense of the times is amazing.
At the moment of watching, to be honest, I feel a little uncomfortable and repulsive. Watched it twice.
Now, when I look back and think about the whole story, I realize how critical and ironic the story is, and how wonderful the performances of several main actors are. It really made me clapp my hands.
It is the strong reality of the whole story that makes me uncomfortable, because I have forgotten that it is a movie, but is a living, ugly, ridiculous, and pathetic scene.
That's the great thing about movies.
When Oscar was three years old, he witnessed the affair between his mother and his uncle, and realized the ugliness of the adult world, so he made an accident of falling down the stairs and refused to grow up. Although he is always only a little tall, but his mind is normally developed, he is more rational than his adult parents to see the greed, lust and self-deception farce in the world, and he beats the drum all day to show his sobriety and indignation. He is weak and powerless. He can't stop his mother's cheating, his mother's death, his father's lust and death, and he can't do anything about the outbreak of war. Everything is absurd. Without autonomy, of course there is no escape, no detachment.
In the present world a hundred years later, the great waves of the new century are engulfing us. We are also kidnapped and driven by lust and greed. There is no detachment or escape.
