In the first 20 minutes of this movie, because I fell asleep, I roughly asked my friend about the previous plot, so the completeness of the film review is definitely not enough. The climax and reversal of the whole movie is the ending, so it shouldn't be too far off.
After the poet Neruda was wanted, he began to flee in an organized way, and was protected as an important figure in the Communist Party, but he himself often found a space to go out for a walk, and every time he was covered by the people who loved him. The police were one step short of catching him every time, and Neruda seemed to know of his existence, deliberately leaving a book of his poems before leaving. The atmosphere in the first half was still serious and tense. Gradually, I seemed to feel a vague absurdity among them. It was said from the mouths of others that Neruda used an escape to create his image as a saint and a great man. After the realization of the so-called communism, will everyone's life become the same as him, or will he become the same as everyone else. To know that the poet's life is both literary and debauchery. On the one hand, the communists were actually slaughtered, and on the other hand, his virtual escape was staged. The second half shows a stream of consciousness expression. Neruda, who was about to cross the snowy mountain and leave, couldn't help shouting. The policemen who were chasing him nearby shouted his name excitedly. The policeman was betrayed by two local mountain residents and knocked unconscious. There was only one bullet left, and he died alone in the snowy mountains, accompanied by a large amount of blood and music. Neruda brought him back and buried him. If the story ends here, then it will be an honest biography.
The reversal is that when Neruda recites his poems and talks about his stories in a foreign country, the policeman's narration keeps ringing: Say, say my name. When Neruda said the policeman Oscar's name, he opened his eyes in the coffin. He was originally a character who existed between the lines of the poet, who shaped him. And he is no longer the child brought into the world by a prostitute and some unknown person, and he begins to feel that he is the son of the poet, the son of the people (perhaps an artistic figure). Neruda's value lies in the fact that his poems can indeed inspire those who walk in the dark, although we cannot judge the character and morals of the poet.
The wonderful thing about the movie is that it gives a real identity and action to a character in the poet's pen. He pursues the poet in the open, but in the dark it is the constant dialogue with him. He reads the works of the poet and feels that he has been written. The powerlessness of the supporting role, destined to die, destined to be forgotten by people, even the loneliness and cold of death are described in such detail by the poet, but when the poet said his name, he was resurrected, and he will live forever. in the hearts of countless readers.
