Desire, Despair and Loneliness--I watched "On the Seaside Alone at Night"

If you love someone, what will you do for her? Dr. Cheng Zhimei said, I will open up her mind. And director Hong Sangxiu will tailor a movie for her, and by the way, help her to include the three major actresses in the bag. He said through the movie that he "wanted to focus on making movies, about the people I love, about those experiences, and the kind of movies that I photographed along the way." But this literary and artistic worker's way of expressing love is quite strange, because he shows everything in detail What comes out is the miss, loss, entanglement, pain and loneliness of a woman who can't be loved.

The film itself tells some mundane stories after the extramarital affairs were exposed, with loose plots, dark tones, heavy topics and depressing atmosphere. It is only because of Kim Min-hee that the whole film is dazzling. After learning to paint, Henri Matisse realized that "the world should be viewed through the eyes of a child". When he poured his own feelings and even vitality into the painting, it had vitality. In this film, Jin Minxi truly expressed herself and fully displayed her vitality, which made this gray and dark film have a splendid color. I have to mention that the sound of the cello is also just right, making people feel that life is really beautiful in the faint music, and for a woman, all love is a magnificent flower that embellishes life, even if she is alone in love write.

The film is divided into two parts, the first part is in Hamburg, Yingxi joked that he likes it here and wants to live with her girlfriend. And her girlfriend's first reaction was to refuse, because "I am someone who needs to live alone!" Although she has been with her husband for ten years, her girlfriend lives an almost sexless marriage. It's not that she has no desires, and There is very little desire. Therefore, such a person is destined to have no way of understanding Young Hee. However, although such friends cannot understand Yingxi, they know how to accompany her. They accompany her to eat roadside stalls, look for food in the park, visit bookstores to buy books, eat pasta at friends' houses, and go for a walk by the sea. Even after Young-hee suddenly knelt down, she just asked lightly afterwards. Although Yingxi replied that she was just praying, "I want to make up my mind and know what I want", "All I want is to live like myself and not be shaken." But at the beach, Yingxi He seemed to have completely forgotten his promise, and muttered to himself, "I really miss that person, will he be like me, miss me?"

In the lower part of Gangneung, the highlight is two meals. One is with old friends, and the other is with the director's crew. One is real, one is dream. In one scene, she always hides in the distance of the camera, and in one scene, the camera directly switches back and forth between her and the director. But in both scenes, she was outspoken and bold. She has a pair of eyes that are too talkative, and every lazy strand of hair reveals an irresistible charm. The posture of her smoking also made the viewers seem to have a lot of melancholy. In the end, I found that it was all a dream. But this dream reflects Young-hee's subconscious. In the dream, she was adored by the crew, no one cared about her extramarital affair, and she could also shout at the director to vent her heart. The director, the director, came over with a sound, and they were already rolled up and down by the heart-piercing pain.

Throughout the film, her hair always seems to be uncombed, fluffy, and her clothes are simple and dull, without powder. There were always strange men around her, the man in the upper part asking the time abruptly, and the man in the lower part trying to clean the window, all dressed in black. But she always isolated and avoided them. She was lonely, she kept eating, kept saying she was hungry. She said, "If you are alone, you will feel lonely soon," and she also said that "it will feel even more lonely, in such a beautiful scenery." But can you really do what you want? Can you really do everything you want to do before you die? Yu Xiuhua said that he always wanted to get drunk to blur the inclination of the world, or his own inclination. Therefore, Yingxi continued to drink and smoke, and her calmness on the surface could not cover up the turbulent undercurrent in the silence.

Naturally, in addition to the main line of the film, three small stories are also vaguely told. Burger's girlfriend and her husband go together because they need it, not because they want it. The boyfriend of the Gangneung coffee shop was forced to stay with his girlfriend to open the shop, but he was always reluctant to officially admit her. Borrowing from Yingxi's mouth, he is also obsessed with living because he can't love. The young men and women in the crew held hands affectionately in the cold winter, and that was the initial appearance of love. Really, when you fall in love, there are often endless joys, the kind of happiness that you can't hide from your brows, as if you can't spend your whole life. However, why is it not the original love that has settled down with the long time? The initial desire has evolved into a despair that has grown tired over time, and in the end, only the loneliness of a person's life remains.

In fact, everyone has a lot of past events. As the years change, most of them are blurred and even filtered at that time. But the only pain that cannot be obtained is the grain of sand when the tide ebbs, grinding the heart in the dead of night. Cherry Marukoko once said, "Some things are not what I don't care about, but what if I care?" So this film just lets us see the reality of the real existence of those idiots, those desires, despair and loneliness. So, "I only realized at that time how unnecessary everything that prevents us from loving each other is"
