I don't understand the feelings of the movie watching Xiaobai of Karax

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!

    I thought about it countless times when I watched it, maybe this is the barrier of stage musicals and musicals in the form of films, and Karax wants to break it.

    Disappointing, Carax was the worst of his career. Only the opening sound prompts and the self-packing of the closing scenes are successful, which belong to the watching and listening of the first vocal recordings, the circus, the puppet show, the village stage and the historic tomb of Edgar Allan Poe, but the film does not The mysterious performance that has not turned into the expected shuttle between the old world and the new world. Simple fables have become the white canvas of the most straightforward combination of audio-visual styles. However, in the past, the strange images that blurred the meaning of human language and social behavior, which can only be seen through observation and imagination like monsters, are used in musicals and dance films. Under the popular rules of the English department, there are huge restrictions and shackles. Driver, who put on a green nightgown, and Cotillard unfolded not only a Gothic sentimental bizarre like "Black Cat" or "The Leaked Heart" and Karax's retrospective and confession, but also a classical French The wonderful marriage of cinema and modern American cinema, however, the reappearance of master techniques and passages of masterpieces is always limited to the most inorganic specks of oil paint under an excessive collision. It does not flow, penetrate and merge, and is submerged in the whirlpool of forms. sink.
