On Freud's "Interpretation of Dreams"

Room: A match for David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, this is actually a shocking, murderous movie. The whole movie should be a dream of the hero, from Freud's "Dream of Dreams" From the main point of view of "Analysis", the working process of the dream is: condensation, displacement and assembly, and the biggest feature of this film is the character's lines and emotional breaks, but this is exactly what the director wants, through a jumping narrative and Dialogue to imply the audience's part about dreams (in fact, these out-of-tune lines really highlight the most essential characteristics of each character, which is why the characters in the film emphasize that the male protagonist is "sensitive", and the essence of the people around him is observed by him. It is very thorough, so it can be reflected in the dream, which is also the director's intention.), the director even used several consecutive sex scenes as a symbol to directly pull the audience into the characters. And the film's formal techniques are also very good. Hidden, but powerful. For example, the tram drives to the right at the beginning, which means the male protagonist goes home, but at the same time, there is another level of metaphor, such as the technique used by Kubrick in "2001: A Space Odyssey". The habit of the human eye is Looking from left to right, the right movement of the tram represents entering a helpless environment, giving the audience a sense of despair, but here this despair comes from "home", and the director has already started 2 minutes after the opening. It hints at the fate of the protagonist, and then another picture shows the tram to the left. From the plot, we know that the protagonist is leaving at this time, and the director hints that the protagonist must leave the family to find that sense of belonging. Well, I can't go on and advise everyone to watch it without subtitles. In this way, you can practice English listening instead of wasting an hour and a half staring at a piece of shit.
