Afraid of forgetting later, write it down. I like all the movies that are too appetizing. The spoilers are serious, if you haven't seen it, you can close it.

The whole film is very poetic. The director's use of color and composition is particularly good. The color is a cold gray-blue, just like the director uses emotional restraint. It can be said that this is a film with a cold wind everywhere. A simple environment, vast and cold seaside town life, sparsely populated, quiet life, a pair of little friends who played together in childhood, because the girl suddenly left for Japan, 12 years later, the girl returned to the sea with a high degree, and the boy became "Cultivation of small and strong professional households". They are so connected to each other that they can recognize each other after 12 years apart. The male protagonist died in a car accident. The heroine was unbearable. Fortunately, there was gene cloning technology at that time, but most people thought it was against ethics, and even the parents of the male protagonist could not accept the digging of their son from the tomb. But the male protagonist's father finally agreed and left the beach because he couldn't face it.

After more than 20 years, the dead male protagonist is finally "resurrected". He has a girlfriend and is very in love with each other, but it seems that his sex life is not very harmonious. The male protagonist always stagnates at critical moments. can not explain. The peaceful life was broken by the arrival of the male protagonist's biological mother. The male protagonist desperately asked the female protagonist who she was, and felt that the biological mother was very familiar - after all, there is a genetic connection. When the male protagonist lost his temper, his girlfriend left reluctantly. In the end, the female protagonist gave the male protagonist the computer that contained the secret of the male protagonist's life experience, but the male protagonist was unable to bear it. When he was young, he knew that people around him looked down on replicants, and that replicants had a strange smell. But he never knew he was a clone. The male protagonist therefore understands that the female protagonist is the Rebecca of the year, and that he is the "his father" in the female protagonist's mouth. The absurd life trend made the male protagonist confused, and he combined with the female protagonist by instinct. But in the end, the male protagonist left the house forever with his luggage the next morning, saying "Thank you, Rebecca". This place is very moving. After more than 20 years of waiting, I can't keep my lover. The male protagonist went out and walked along the long coastline, walking and walking, and the female protagonist sat and shed tears. Only the sound of the wind. The climax of the film appears at the end. The male protagonist's back is getting smaller and smaller, disappearing, and the wind can't stop. It is very moving. The director does not elaborate or exaggerate. As always, he is restrained. The purpose of the director is not to attract people's resonance but to let the audience find their innermost feelings, like a dull knife cutting their hearts.

The heroine's temperament has an intellectual coldness, which is very suitable for the tone of the whole film. Quite the charm of Natalie Portman. And the face is exquisite and beautiful. This is a movie that knows how to leave blank. The director's narrative rhythm is very good, (yes, this is not that kind of European stuffy film) it is a literary film that is articulate and delicately penetrated. The seaside is filled with melancholy, bitterness, loneliness, and pure love. In the end, the two never departed forever, which is probably the best love.

ah, forgot to write, this movie reminds me of an episode of Black Mirror , The heroine's husband died and I miss her very much. She relied on technology to restore her husband, but the restored person is not like a real person. postmodern atmosphere. And the director of this film seems to be warm and poetic.
