Have you ever imagined why children scream loudly?
There are many objective answers, such as environmental stimulation, neural selection, and vocal cord development. Another possibility is that everyone is having nightmares, but we are used to it and we are no longer surprised.
This fantasy collection directed by Marco Carlo and Jean-Pierre Jean first applies the framework of classic commercial stories, and then fills all kinds of crazy and fresh brains into it to create a grotesque aesthetic. Taking materialized dreams as a sci-fi gimmick, although the film is early enough, it doesn't make good use of the advantages of this theme, and only creates a visually unusual dazzling. In contrast, the apocalyptic environment outside the dream is still a little dreamy. This green seaside city is distorted due to its extremely independent nature and only specific characters in the activities. What's worse is that the relationship between the characters' external adventures, internal growth and dreams is not very big, just like the girl said "born in a ditch, and died in a port." Two people who are hopeless in their lives love each other and save each other or themselves when they save others.
Comparing the nuanced warmth with the dark, humid and disgusting world, its resonance mechanism is not complicated even in commercial movies, but the two directors are not even successful in the use of such cheap methods. The role arc is aimed at the so-called "adult" and "child" conventional identity, which is very cleanly exposed. I didn't feel the fear they were trying to create. On the contrary, I was full of doubts about narrative logic and narrative efficiency. There are always places that are too scribbled, and other places are too long-winded. Whenever I feel dull, there are always a few action designs that suddenly make my eyes shine, so that I can't dislike it completely.
The difference between adults and children is concentrated in the sound. Children's choice of sound is different from those of adults, and their ability to accept sound is also different. In those scenes that were originally silent and full of twilight, the small noises made by children can be used as absolute intruders. What children cannot understand adults, and what adults cannot understand children are the same. The sounds that should be made in each world represent that. The order the world deserves. Let Pierre Gennet’s director be fickle, confused, and nostalgic: the doctor’s method is improper, but what he pursues is almost selfish as everyone else, that is, to be a child again after exhausting this life, to be re-existed in The fascinating scene in the imagination burst into tears, and the inability to have a nightmare was far more terrifying than the nightmare itself. This kind of delusion may have been thought by people who have grown up. Not everyone has the courage to practice it, not everyone has the luck to practice it, but we can see that everyone is showing their childishness in other ways.
