Let me be more specific. The strongest shock does not come from after watching the movie Citizen Kane, even if you already have a hundred reasons to think that it is the "most powerful and most transcendent movie you have ever seen in your life", even if you weigh those familiar techniques in your mind. , Like Big Fish, like Velvet Goldmine. At that time, the real shock has not yet come... At this moment, you put on the second disc at will, drink a beer, and if you spend the second half of the night watching the highlights in an indifferent way, you are just a little bit. There is no clue about this movie, the two main characters involved in this movie, the people around them, the fate of all people, and the inevitability of all fate... the energy of the entire media value system, the white horror of the McCarthy era (Good Night, and Good Bye), the future reflected by everything in the past, the repetition of the social system implied by the weakness of human nature...
A movie genius said at the end of his life
"You spent 2 percent of your time making movies, and 98 percent of your time hustling, begging for money. It's no way of living a life." Absolutely not! It's NO way! --- But, didn't you see it coming on the first place Mr. Welles, when you were so young and arrogant, so full of yourself, so 25 years old?
when lightly of God, might make fun of a little attitude, because only then is safe. But after all, there is such a dark moment, when you can’t help but ask yourself: Is it an adventure to be alive, because you never know, at the next moment, what God will arrange for you? ── You can't have any other feelings, you can only temporarily stay in a state of no sadness and no joy, you finally realize that any movie is a cheap cliche, because they count on you to invest in it spontaneously, instead of taking you deeply Drag in - you can't start to indulge your words on your own, because any words are superfluous - from this point of view, this is the only sense of security that this movie creates.
Oh no, maybe not the only one. At least we can feel a little safer that no other movie, and everything about that movie, can give you such a strong sense of fate and let you be swallowed. In this way, you get a pass that you reluctantly own. With it, it is not difficult for you to go to another movie after another, the fate of everyone, and you can safely imagine that everything is nothing but a phantom or a phantom.
