Feel free

178min. Born out of drama, a great attempt at film.

Strong musical narrative (opera); less movement of mirrors and emphasis on spotlight-like blocking, bringing high-intensity eye guidance; subtitle cards are like opening/closing, clarifying the scene information and interrupting the continuous expression of emotions. Several full-frame scenes have good effects, slightly diluting the sense of the stage, and Babylon's panoramic mirror movement scheduling effect is excellent. In some shots, the masking recedes with the movement of the characters, which is similar to the expression effect of a panning mirror, which is a little interesting.

There is a bit of cloud map flavor, although it can't reach the emotional tension of cloud map at all.

In fact, I don’t understand the logic of using color, and I don’t feel the connection between cool and warm colors and emotional changes.
