From the perspective of young women at the bottom, the director got rid of the bloody plot of the previous work "Fish Tank", returned to the real life itself, abandoned the "perceptual drive" of the mainstream Hollywood film industry system, and formed a life-like film through a series of splicing of normal performances. As a result, audiences who are accustomed to the mainstream style feel incomprehensible or even bad comments.
1. At the same time, the movie abandons the routine, there is no logic of Lars Von Trier's "Dog Town", "Evil Mountains and Bad Waters Make Mischief People", and there is no small freshness to earn tears.
2. There are four major characteristics in the technique: hand-held shaking photography throughout the process, showing the psychological perspective of the protagonist, pseudo-documentary effect; TV station square format; good photography; empty shots, close-up shots are frequent.
3. The plot takes the highway as the main line, supplemented by the soundtrack and MV, which shows the daily life of all classes in the United States by the way. It only shows that it does not stand in line, and its light political stance makes the film closer to the highest realm of film in my opinion - aesthetic art Rather than a propaganda tool, an aesthetic philosophy rather than a battle between left and right.
The film pierces the wild values of uninhibited freedom and irrelevant morals, and has the characteristics of deconstruction in modernist creation. The show of love is unconventional, revealing a hodgepodge of confusion, confusion, happiness, excitement, etc. of youth. At the end, a bonfire scene calmly deals with the continued relationship of love. At the same time, the magical tribal soundtrack makes the possible theme of the film - break away from the mainstream secular pursuit of pure life of joy and pain - greatly sublimated.
At the end, the heroine comes out of the water, echoes the previous article, and stops abruptly, leaving a blank. It is the ending that is most in line with literature and art, and also makes this film a relatively pure representative of art films at this Cannes Film Festival.
4. The defect lies in the scattered plot and the shaking of the camera in the near and middle corners of the whole process, and the lack of complex shot scheduling makes the film slightly monotonous and dull. The almost no-theme expression also makes it difficult for this film to leave a strong mark in film history, and there is still a little distance to enter the five-star level vertically.
