(Issue 104) Dayin Niche Movie Viewing Party
- "The Man Who Has No Past"
Inexplicable attack, without the help of reason, the story begins. The male protagonist lost his memory after being attacked, but unexpectedly started a new life of his own.
The unsmiling "facial paralysis" performance amplifies the changes in inner emotions. Every action amplifies the inner activity, everyone is full of surprises, and the dark humor makes people laugh. A straightforward and romantic hero, a serious heroine, a sloppy sheriff, a well-meaning poor couple, a band who accepts change, a bankrupt boss with integrity... Everyone seems to be very independent, even lonely, but there are own philosophy of existence.
Some friends say that this is a beautiful story. There are no bad people, only beauty. What I feel most is the calmness and magnanimity in the face of difficulties. A piece of music that changes with the development of the plot, whether it is the melody or the lyrics, is full of affection and deep meaning.
This is the first time I have seen this Finnish director's film, and once again I have been fanned by the country of Finland. The first time is "Seagull Cafeteria". Their sea and forest, their calmness and tranquility, if there is no romance and poetry, It is difficult for you to understand their emotions and way of life.
