loneliness

In the poster, Adrien Brody looks at the camera with a sad and lonely face, which is basically the tone of the whole movie. The beginning of the film begins with a monologue, a man named Henry in a dark and heavy house, the camera has a little plain and a little messy. The switch between film and high-definition is like a dream. In the opening paragraph, there is a direct quote from Albert Camus: "My soul is so far away from me, and my existence is so real". Henry's close-up is facing the camera, in the dark room facing the camera in a casual statement, but no one actually listens. The film is full of ravings between narration and monologue. The inner voice is like poetry, but it describes the terrible reality.

The whole film is permeated with dejected and sad emotions, which takes you into an inexplicable poetic melancholy, using the crudest and most effective methods, noise, film, dark footage, freehand lines and cruelty. In fact, piano violin cello, the soundtrack is the lamentation of various instruments. Makes up the film from start to finish.

    Don't be misled by the title. This film is full of depression and heaviness everywhere. Everyone has nothing to do with themselves. Counting on the other to rescue his suffering is always only a moment, because he is still too busy to take care of himself. Even if you are merciful enough to take you in, one day you will leave. In short, just like the substitute teacher, this film only gave a hug, and did not try to solve any troubles of the characters or the audience in the film, but helpless people will be ruthlessly hit.

Detachment quotes

  • Henry Barthes: Y'know it's funny, I spend a lot of time trying to not have to deal... to not really commit. I'm a substitute teacher, there's no real responsibility to teach. Your responsibility is to maintain order, make sure nobody kills anybody in your classroom, and then they get to their next period.

  • Mr. Wiatt: I was in my room for 2 hours and saw one parent. Where are they? Where is everybody? It's uncanny, no air raid sirens, not bombs. It doesn't happen that way. It starts with a whisper, and then nothing.
