film, there are no real scenes, complete dreams.
The audience watching this film is like a flea attached to the protagonist's soul, traveling with him. I don’t know where the journey started, or when it will end. Everything follows his subconscious mind, sometimes delaying, sometimes jumping.
Dreamland, it should be like this. It's like a series of nonsensical stories, I fabricated some characters, and they seem to have vivid faces, but when I think about recognizing their faces, I feel that their facial features will change and flow, unable to capture, and become more and more blurred.
The director cleverly processed the real scenes and animations, so the characters and the surrounding things are shaking and wandering, and the world that loses its center of gravity may be like this. The shaking effect of handheld DV shooting is just right here.
Could we actually be on the moon when we dream? Getting rid of the weight of the flesh, 21 grams of matter easily accelerates to surpass the speed of light, so it travels to and from all planets, all ages... and causes a mess of dreams.
Only then did I know that Julie Delpy appeared here in the two films except "Before sunrise" and "Before sunset". Despite the identity of the animated character, it is relatively easy to identify her. There are many philosophical monologues similar to nonsense in the film. Her passage is very interesting and thought-provoking, which seems to have troubled the director from before sunrise:
About reincarnation,and where all the new souls come from over time.Everybody always says they're the reincarnation of Cleopatra or Alexander the Great.You know they were a dumb fuck like everyone else.I mean,it's impossible.The world population has doubled in the past 40 years.So if you believe in that ego thing of one eternal soul you have 50% chance of your soul being over 40.For it to be over 150 years old,it's only one out of six.... ..I believe reincanation is a poetic expression of what collective memory is....I read an article by a biochemist not long ago.He said when a member of a species is born it has a billion years of memory to draw on. This is where we inherit our instincts.
At the end of the film, a trip is over, and a resonance is over. I subconsciously press the switch of the lamp twice to confirm my situation.
