This drama has been watched for a long time, it really belongs to the type of getting better sci-fi world. I didn't pat on the thigh until they both entered their first dream, which is fucking funny, right?
At the same time as my inner ecstasy, I also clearly understand that this kind of fun is really not that popular. Because it's interesting, it's all based on the mental state of the two protagonists and this weird worldview in the play. If you are not willing to accept this setting obediently, then all the dreams after that are just a farce. Only after you accept it, you will find that all the stories are just to expose and make up for the wounds of two broken human beings. but in a weird way.
You can say that the screenwriter and director insisted on telling such a simple love story in a niche or even bizarre way (no, not even love), but I am more inclined to think that the screenwriter is just about each of us The crazy ideas in my head are visualized and put on the screen. Every dream is actually a situation in which we dream, and why do we have these dreams, and what do these dreams want to tell us, the logic behind this is like the computer brain Gertie in the play. We can't understand it at all in the black box. (Not to mention, the scientist who manipulated Gertie is just another group of mentally handicapped people)
I prefer to believe that two broken people will indeed experience a series of crazy experiences that only two people can understand and imagine before finally discovering the true love between each other, just like saving one for you without hesitation. Lemurs, or looking for the last chapter of Don Quixote, or even turning into an eagle and flying over thousands of miles to tell you to say goodbye, damn it, it's incredible but it's so romantic.
I know that many film critics should focus on the relationship between mental illness (such as Owen's flattering personality and feeling that he doesn't deserve any good, Annie's crazy self-abuse) and technology. This is indeed what the director wants to express the most, but I always I was attracted by the wonderful adventures of these two people. Maybe it all started with Gertie's tear, but this wonderful but mutually healing fate has really captured my heart.
