I don't know if you are like me. You were attracted by this fantasy poster. With the form of musicals, I thought I would usher in a game similar to "La La Land" or "La La Land". An Alice in Wonderland-like fantasy experience. But when Annette first appeared in Henry's dream as the spooky face of the Joker, I found the story veering off the track I envisioned -- or the "truth" I saw.
The tragic soprano said she saved them (the audience), the stand-up comedian said she destroyed them, Henry was more of a struggle between hurting himself and hurting others, Ann's death I read as Henry's stress that couldn't relieve itself , thereby releasing the pressure and affecting Ann, who longs to save the world, but has no choice but to become a victim.
When the movie was 1 hour and 20 minutes into the film, I myself was clearly frightened by the puppet Annette, and I was extremely uncomfortable, so I quit watching the movie for a while. It wasn't until I couldn't stand my curiosity and watched the finale directly that I had the courage to restart the movie and continue watching. When I entered for the second time, I was less subjective, and watched the development step by step with a sense of hope. After watching the whole film, I suddenly felt that my single aesthetics and shallow life experience brought me a sense of fear and unacceptability. The relationship between people and people in life has never been fixed, and people's own personalities are constantly changing due to the people and things around them. At the beginning of the film, I felt that this work was like the director's catharsis of life. After a simple understanding, I realized that this is more than just catharsis. This plan is so simple, as well as nostalgia, helplessness, and thinking. I saw his voice, for our sake. Life.
In addition, I wanted to complain that as a musical, there is no song that catches your ears, which is really disappointing. But when the song is played alone, it sounds surprisingly good. That's the magic of the movie.
In short, the recommendation, of course, other works of director Karax, has been put on the agenda!
