not confused

As a child who received a materialistic education since childhood, I firmly believe that there are no ghosts in the world. Therefore, the terrifying atmosphere created in this movie and the supernatural phenomena presented in this film are just the confusion caused by the tension and pressure of the heroine in my opinion.

Director Olivier Assayas, known as the representative of the "French post-new wave" film, still wants to explore the philosophical proposition of "knowing oneself" in this film. Some people find it difficult and difficult to understand, while others think it is extremely wonderful. And for me, just seeing the fur, the soul is not resonated at all.

Actress Kristen Stewart, whose personal style has always been cool and trendy. He always looked like he didn't care, and he was wandering in a trance. The state in this film is also the same, very confused, confused, and restless. In the words of Aunt Qiongyao, it is "a cloud". Cloud, who looks at ease and unrestrained, is actually very empty inside, wandering lonely in the world every day. And all the clouds were eventually either blown away by the gust of wind, or turned into rain and fell into the mundane world.

Movies with this tone always inadvertently move some people. It's a bit like "Lost in Translation", my emotions were inexplicably infected. And I, who have no feelings for this crazy film, should be glad I didn't understand it? At least at this moment, I didn't understand, I didn't question myself.

    It is in the same vein as 【Sils Maria】, but it has a further psychological depth tour. When KS met Asayes, the whole person exuded the temperament of acting school

    The whole process was dizzy by Kristen, so cool and so beautiful. . . The narrative method of the film is a bit cold, so just put those scenes there and let the audience analyze it by themselves. The film is about the psychological process of mourning a loved one, and the existence of ghosts depends on one's perception and one's own thoughts. The evaluation of this film is polarized, but it adds to the fun of watching the movie.

    Maureen Cartwright: Lewis, is it you?

    Maureen Cartwright: Or is it just me?

  • Erwin: [to Maureen] You know how they say the dead watch over the living? I've thought about that a lot. Not just because Lewis was a medium. I don't know what that means. For me, he was someone deeply intuitive of others. He, uh... understood things that went unspoken. He did. Maybe because he knew he was going to die. I mean, I felt that he saw things which I didn't. Maybe you do too. He thought you had the same gifts...
