Don't worry too much about the history, we probably understand what it means, so I won't tell the story. According to the four-dimensional pull-tab analysis method, let's talk about the characters first. Uncle Boonmee seems to be very popular, and his relatives come back to see him. The two ends of Yin and Yang are in a harmonious and balanced state.


Note that with the use of the camera, after ingesting the ghost monkey's soul, the ghost monkey turned people into ghosts out of revenge. Of course this may be a guess.

Regarding the matter of retribution, what Uncle Boonmee realized after the murder, he must regret it, but he was also very helpless. Later, he went to the cave to find the reason and inner peace.

Later, the young people in the film may be scared to be a monk by watching him die all day long.


Buddhism, in fact, cannot allow this young man to truly enter into meditation. The so-called six impures are actually difficult for mortals to detach from, and they cannot escape from the mundane. A person's spirit and thoughts can easily go out of the body.


Everyone pay attention to some close-ups, like a cockroach on an oil painting, like a reptile, small and unknowing, for example, if you quietly observe the insects or mosquitoes on the wall, you have no idea what he is thinking ... This little thing comes out of the painting, enters the painting, and travels between canvases, which can also allude to the mysterious state of the soul out of the body.



Generally speaking, when people are in a quiet state, it is actually the easiest for the soul to go out of the body. That is, the so-called daze

This film is actually trying to illustrate this problem. Art presents the process and basis of the out-of-body spirit.



I hope that when you observe these shots, you can connect with the theme of the film, so that we can understand the source of artistic inspiration of the masters.

Female: This is the artistic thinking you often mention!


The bearer kisses the princess on the west side of the water, but another person is in his mind. Everyone wonders what the purpose of this plot is.

We should understand some of the plot and the psychology of the characters. At that time, the bearer was really concerned about prostitution, otherwise the princess who was difficult to get old and lustful would really not be able to kiss, and it would be difficult to talk, lust is the nature of a man.


Look at the dialogue later: I can only find people who are alive, but I am dead, how can I find you?

At this time, the woman did not answer

the woman: Has the princess become beautiful?

There is a phenomenon, no result.

Female: I think that catfish can make her orgasm, but changing her face probably won't help her.

Your understanding is correct, catfish should also ignore those jewelry, everyone pay attention to what the director wants to express:

trading with ghosts and gods is all human wishful thinking.


Woman: Sometimes people's thoughts are really ridiculous!

I think your point just now is exactly what the director wants to convey. Humans entrust their happiness to the next life, and when they make deals with God in this world, they are dominated by their own subjective thinking. We believe that God definitely needs wealth and these things, so that we can make deals and achieve our vision.

This is the dream stage we humans must go through in metaphysics and paranormal phenomena.


Everyone pay attention to an important long shot, right at the end of the film

End scene: Everyone pay attention here, the camera is raised a few inches, facing the white wall, suddenly someone is out of body

and the woman is crawling

.


When I got to the coffee shop, I was still in a daze, as if I was out of my body again.

In fact, I would like to see the fans staring at the screen, for fear of missing every line, but I hope they can stare at the camera and capture the camera. some common things. The layman remembers the lines, and the expert remembers the camera


: I really thought they were dead,

no, it was a false shot by the director, they were just out of their bodies.


For example, when we discuss a paranormal phenomenon, most of them think that I must make a ghost movie, or use a large dialogue to describe the process, which is low, the movie is all about creativity, you only need to do it well Art, you can explain the truth yourself, don't worry, the judges won't understand it!

Similar to this film, with a few characters, a few clips and short stories, a large number of shots and simple techniques, a supernatural phenomenon, that is, the out-of-body phenomenon, is artistically reproduced.

We appreciate literary and artistic films, and don’t always focus on the stories. I find that most of the stories of literary and artistic films are simple and unpretentious, and we even try to eliminate the traces of compilation. We calm down and taste the thoughts conveyed in the lens. You go to decipher, to comprehend.
