One, the cross-cut of the male lead and female lead ML & male supporting suicide.
Sex, drugs, and death are the closest to God. The male protagonist and the female protagonist alternately appear in the naked overhead shot and the male supporting actor struggling in the dark corner of the room. As the frequency of the ML side increased, the suicide side also pushed the blade into the palm more forcefully. Sweat and bright red blood, light and dark, upside down and upside down, pain and joy... all are released here, and they have reached the closest place to God.
Although film is an audio-visual language, different from literature, it is still a kind of beauty, which is hidden in every shot and every symbol. The director used such a set of cross-shots to show the male protagonist's confusion, depression and the male support's pain and struggle in front of the audience. Through the power of the language of the camera, the audience can enter the situation without rational thinking. Why does the male lead hallucinate? What did he hear? Does he love the hero? A set of shots is enough to explain everything.
Second, the male protagonist kneels down in the toilet to give oral sex to a strange man, and the male supporting actor kneels down in front of the idol. The
same action, different situations, cross-cutting. You may despise the male protagonist's chaos and sympathy for the pain and struggle of the male supporting role. But in the author's opinion, this kneeling, there is no difference, because sex is with God.
Robbery is a heinous crime in the eyes of the world, and there is homosexuality and bloodthirsty carnival. Fortunately, this film is not vulgar. The director seems to be discussing such a question with the audience: who is the closest person to God. Angel? money? Death? Drugs? Or sex? He didn't give an answer, because the world goes to see God through death, and so does this film. But are the struggles, the sex, the excitement, the drug spree before the battle, all overwhelmed by death? no. They are with God, they are the closest thing to God in the world.
What we can't know is what we can't describe. If you want to know God, experience it yourself.
