It is difficult for us to describe the world of pure consciousness. We can only express and present a similar state through some artistic methods. Perhaps you have seen classic dramas such as "Guessing the Train" or "Requiem of Dreams". The story in is mixed with psychedelic colors, and the movie "Escape into Nothingness" (also known as "King to Tuma") is a film directed by Gaspar Nou from Argentina about consciousness drifting in this world after being separated from the body. Experience, he will drag you out of the movie story, let you invest in a strong visual experience, and observe the physical world from the perspective of detachment from consciousness (soul). If you have the same experience as mine, you can repeatedly taste those special ones. Memories.
The film won the 2009 Sitges-Catalonian International Film Festival Best Photography Award and the Jury Special Award.
Synopsis: "Escape into Nothingness" tells the story of Oscar and his sister Linda after they came to Tokyo. The brother sells drugs for a living, while the sister dances pole dancing in the nightclub. During a drug deal, Oscar was hit by police and shot by a pistol. Just as Oscar was dying, his consciousness changed. He saw the death of his parents when he was five years old. All kinds of illusions made Oscar unable to die. His spirit was separated from the body and traveled freely through time and space, but he could not talk to anyone, even his sister...
There are a lot of subjective shots of Oscar in the front part of the movie, including XD, which gives people a kind of immersive psychedelic feeling. There are hallucinations produced by Oscar, my own inner voice, unconscious head shaking, and even eye blinking. .
At the beginning of the movie, Oscar’s friend Alex lent him a copy of "Tibetan Sutra of Death". "Death" means to save the dead, that is, to help those who have died or to find the way to the soul's ascension or reincarnation. According to legend, in front of the dying person’s body, when his breathing ceased, a lama who was a teacher of the deceased, or a fellow practitioner who was trusted by the deceased, or a fellow The beloved friend of the deceased approached his ears, but did not touch the body, and chanted this salvation Dafa according to the ritual, so that the undead in the bardo realm would relieve all the insidious horrors, and even prove that they are immortal. The realm of the Dhammakaya, or the rebirth of the Buddha, suffers from the rebirth of life and death.
After Oscar's death, consciousness began to interweave reality and memory, as if it became a soul. Among the many metaphors in the film, it has been discussing the relationship between birth and death, as well as the infinite desires of the modern world, ending in reincarnation.
In fact, people are always avoiding the issue of death, even disgusting, and some people take the initiative to experience some "near-death experiences", unable to tell who is right, living is lucky, it is the soul that chooses your body and treats you From nothingness to the modern world, human beings have been exploring the original origin in the course of thousands of years of evolution. Now we have the opportunity to try to touch the truth, maintain awe of nature, enjoy the process of finding the truth, and enjoy life.
