The actor's name is Oscar, and he played almost all types of films in one day (I don't know if these films have prototypes).

1. The most powerful setting of Sacred Cars is to put the actors directly in front of the audience. The dialogue between the protagonist and the boss in the car: "I miss the cameras very much. They used to be heavier than us, and later became smaller than our heads. Now you can't see them at all." His motivation is the beauty of acting, This is his ego, and the actor just has no ego.

2. The boss said that the beauty of an actor is hidden in the eyes of the audience. What if there is no audience?

2. If what we see is only part of his life when we get along with others, then this person may be another him when we don't see him.

3. The beginning of the film is that the protagonist walks out of the house and the car is waiting. Generally speaking, the beginning part is an introduction, and the audience naturally thinks that he is getting up early from home to go to work. However, the more I got to the end, the more I realized that the whole life of the protagonist was actually acting. Then the question arises, is our whole life a show? Do we have experiences in our lives that are only our own, without the participation of others?

4. In our dealings with others, we will always be self-centered and long for some comfort or love, or even the death of others. And we also desire to influence others through our actions, and then satisfy ourselves, even our own death. We don't even care if it's real or not, we just long for something. "You have always been like an angel of death, as if you were waiting for the moment I let go." "There is nothing more life-like than witnessing the death of others. This is the feeling of life." Thinking of Heidegger In your words, dying makes us feel more of ourselves than death itself.

5. Actor Oscar craved nature. Actor Oscar also has his own inseparable experience. He would say to his former love, no it's not my hair. And the old love will confess, no, it's not my eyes. I don't think this should be a planned scene.

6. "It's best not to meet your partner and I." When watching movies or dramas, you often see familiar actors and then play together. This should be a reason. Hahaha.

7. Oscar crashed and ran into the car after seeing the old love character and another character jump downstairs. His role at this point is the audience of the scene.

8. Obviously Oscar is passively accepting the setting of home, and the appearance of the orangutan is really unexpected. Apichatpong style directly confuses reality and virtuality. In life, there are many things that are forced to accept, original family, appearance, birthplace, growing environment...

9. The car spoke, and the car believed in religion. Humans no longer need engines, no more physical activity.

Using actors as the starting point, Sacred Cars explores the relationship between images and reality, breaking the boundaries between reality and non-reality. Is what you see with your own eyes the reality? Isn't reality on the screen? The display of reality must be through the purposeful thinking of the presenter, and the perception of reality must be through the subjective feelings of people. Is this still reality? What is reality?

Instead of helping me with my questions about imagery and reality, it raises more questions.

Also, I thought of what Mr. Huang Lei said in Ji Picking, the most important thing in life is to play.
