It was the first time I watched a film directed by Hong Sang-soo, and I wondered if these unexpected experiences were the director's personal characteristics. Very impressive, the camera lens is almost always fixed, and sometimes it suddenly pulls in the camera without warning. It feels like the viewfinder of the camera in my hand. Every time the lens is zoomed in, I don’t seem to want to do anything, but I just want to see it; The eyebrows, hair, the corners of the eyes, and the skin behind the auricles of the characters. There are two major points of confusion: First, who is the person who carried the heroine away at the beach for the first time, and what does this mean? What happened afterward? Second, is the funny guy cleaning glass outside the hotel window real? I feel that other people can't feel his existence, and in the scene where the female friend cuts the apple, that is, when the heroine is not there, there is no one outside the window. When the heroine joins, there is that person outside the window, and he looks like he was carrying it from the beach before. Is the person who took the heroine alone? Is there any symbolism? In addition, the slight difference in the scene when the heroine lying on the beach is woken up twice reminds me of the premiere scene from the front and back of the stage in Citizen Kane. In the dream, the heroine lying on the beach is covered with sunlight, and she seems to fall asleep in the sun; then cut back to reality, she is lying in a shadow, she seems to be dead. When she got up and walked into the distance with the birds in the sky, I suddenly felt so sad.
