# Movie # "On the beach alone at night" was nominated for the best film at the 2017 Berlin Film Festival... The work of the famous Korean literary director Hong Sang-soo, starring: Kim Min-hee.
It has been more than half a month since I watched it, and I have been thinking about this question: "What is the purpose of making movies?"
I never accept any background introductions and spoilers. After the movie, I went to look for some background introductions. After seeing it, I realized that the content of this movie is so private and so bold...
From beginning to end, I am immersed in the emotional flow of the heroine, follow her to suppress, follow her to kneel before crossing the bridge, follow her to walk wildly on the seaside path, follow her to draw the face of her lover with branches on the beach, follow her to live together Hope "he said he came back to see me, will he come?"
In the bleak winter in Germany and the seaside with cold wind, I felt "cold" in the first half. Back in China, she seems to be like the heroine in her heart. Maybe she is looking forward to a new life. Seeing her chatting with old friends, she is suddenly drunk, like a willful doll, talking and talking. , said that everyone bowed their heads in their hearts... Outside the coffee shop, alone, humming, the end of a cigarette and a song also ended, what about that relationship, will it end? Until she was at the seaside again, facing the sea, lay down, fell asleep... Did she really fall asleep and have a dream? Or was he woken up and met him?
Emotional flow, in the eyes of many people, will be very dull, I believe few people can feel at ease from the beginning to the end, they will fall asleep, haha... I don't want to talk about the "gossip" outside the movie, I don't want to talk about the views on extramarital affairs, only When it comes to the movie itself, I'm still willing to give a four-star recommendation. Two stars for Kim Min Hee. So beautiful... The type of lover who cheated on her and I wouldn't be jealous... Where are the two superficial words just beautiful to describe her? The charm of every move and one stop will bend me... I would like to have such a friend who can accompany her on a walk on the beach and remind her that the wind is strong and the water is cold, come to my arms... The performance in the film, The true character is also very cute... The intensity of the emotional flow has already impacted me...
One star for the plot. The plot selects parts other than love to let the audience experience what love is and what torture is. Watching Kim Min-hee's performance is hard-hearted to see how she is tortured. Do you have a solution? No solution. Some people may stand on the moral high ground and say: self-inflicted. But I can't tell. My moral line is not that high, and I sympathize with all those who are trapped and tortured by love... If you can't get it, it's a kind of torture; if you get it, why isn't it a kind of torture?
The last star gave this film to push my thinking: "What is the purpose of making a film?" Someone said with certainty that this was a gift from the director to her. So this film is more private, and it is peeped by all of us... And I have a different understanding: the film is made, just for the record. Some films are to record a story; some record a group of people; some record a history; some films are just to record an emotion... Alone on the beach at night, that is.
Thinking about this, I am still envious of Jin Minxilai. Her emotions can be recorded in a movie, and each of us has always been silently tasting the emotions... In the world, you dare to say that there are many people. Lively? Where there is any liveliness, it is all lonely when you look at it... In this movie, the word "loneliness" is capitalized. The director does not need the understanding of the world, just records...
