Form is greater than content

A stream of consciousness movie with a strong experimental nature. The current aesthetic dimension of the individual is still focused on the story and emotion, so I am very indifferent to this film.

The lighting and editing work very hard to create a sense of eroticism, but in the end it is forced to escape into nothingness by the camera. The lights of the streets of Tokyo, drugs and pornography are screaming psychedelic, and when you see a round light object, you must get in. The transition is unreal like a medicine every minute, and the fancy mutation of a computer lock screen wallpaper is also mixed in. The ubiquitous sex spectacle... However, it is in vain. We are locked in a dead body, near and far away, wandering to see the world of chaotic time and space. Even if the lens processing is successful in obtaining the inner stability of the characters, it is completely The form of drawing away from the character's heart still appears bold and lacking in skill.

You can't deny it completely because of the exhaustion of sensory stimulation and the expression of excessive self-indulgence. Things in the philosophical sense are generally the most difficult to communicate with the audience. I think of Bill Viola’s exhibition. This is the thing that I’ve seen the most effective interpretation of the philosophy of life and death. One of the works is to put childbirth and dying together. However, the mentality of people watching the video on the exhibition is totally different from that of going into the theater. Similarly, the life and death of the theater in the theater is not enough to make people think. What is quite impressive is that when I watched it in foreign theaters, the genitals made in the lens caused many people to laugh.

    80/100, the whole subjective shot is quite novel, the camera movement → the "swimming" of the camera creates a strong sense of nothingness, the whole scene is very psychedelic with the sound, but unfortunately the emotions and experience that should be quite complete are flashed back and too long The space is destroyed.

    This shaking, this flickering, so familiar, after a look, it is really this buddy, last time your irrevocable disgusted me, this time it is better, I know what you are doing.
